COMMENT Two weeks ago, when leaders of both sides of the political pendulum, along with civil society leaders, signed the Citizens’ Declaration, I knew it was a significant and historic moment in the socio-political development in Malaysia.

However, I could not find the right words to describe it, and now that the inspiration has indeed come, allow me to share what it means to the signatories and my fellow Malaysians.

This is what I hope the signatories will adhere to in spirit to ensure that we have a stronger country, economically and politically, and free from the morons who are now running the nation.
