Open letter to Mohd Ezam
Saudara Ezam, firstly, I would like to thank you for your sacrifices made on behalf of every peace loving, justice seeking Malaysian. Your principled stand and heroic efforts should serve as a model for our young Malaysians.
I along with many empathetic post-Merdeka Malaysians were drawn to the events which unfolded following the confrontation between Saudara Anwar and the PM. The corruption and injustices which the average Malaysian were aware of, but neither had the courage nor the spirit to confront, finally exploded and came out in the open because Saudara Anwar and his team stood up against it.
The fight for justice, rule of law and integrity is now no longer a DAP issue or a PAS issue or a racially-motivated issue but it is an issue for all Malaysians. This is the reason why Parti Keadilan (Rakyat) is so appealing to me and has the potential to represent a majority of Malaysians.
Saudara Ezam, I was drawn to join Keadilan after a speech you gave in Shah Alam three years ago. You said that unlike Umno where you could only visit the Malay villagers, you now have the opportunity to visit the Indian villagers and saw for yourself the plight of the Indian community.
In short you were saying Keadilan shall not be a race-based party playing the racial card. I heard you and caught your vision. I think every Malaysian needs to hear this. We have been waiting for Keadilan to make some sort of principled stand over the last two years, we are still waiting.
If I heard you correctly on that cool night in the streets of Shah Alam before a largely Malay crowd as you painted a picture for a future Malaysia; it was electrifying and exhilarating, and I felt for once not just a marginalised minority, but a Malaysian.
Would you, now that you are in society again, express your vision in writings and articles via the many legal channels so that the Malaysian voters can understand and analyse the direction and stand of Keadilan.
You have all the credibility in the world after being through what you have been through. I am reminded of my favourite movie Braveheart in which William Wallace said, "men don't follow titles, they follow courage. Now our people know you. Noble, and common, they respect you. And if you will lead them to freedom, they'd follow you."
