Dear all,

I repost the comment I posted at Tun’s Blog.

Dear Tun Dr. Mahathir,

What a cinematic event, we had started on the 9^th May 2018. Malaysians voted from morning till evening, then glued to their internet from evening till morning waiting for the final GE14 result, which took forever to compile; no thanks to the inefficient EC. Even when the official final result was tabled, the waiting-game for the swearing-in ceremony which looks like twice post- phoned put us, normal Malaysian in anxiety. Finally there was the official announcement from the Palace that the swearing in of Tun Dr. Mahathir as our Nation’s seventh PM has been fixed at 9.30pm (is it coincidental with your age). Every seconds ticking from 9.30pm onwards agonized us like never before and we prayed and we prayed. Our prayers were answered at 9.57 pm (10^th May 2018), a historic moment where all Malaysians will remember and rejoice eternally.

To recap the suspenseful election result announcement chronologically …

4.50am: It's official! Pakatan Harapan has secured 113 parliamentary seats, while its ally Parti Warisan Sabah won eight parliamentary seats.

EC chief Mohd Hashim Abdullah said ousted coalition BN won 79 seats, PAS 18, Sabah state party Star one, and independent candidates three seats. All seats have been announced.

I never imagined I would live to see this day

5.08am: (COMMENT) Syukur Alhamdulillah. Praise be to the Almighty for having answered our collective prayers and for having prevailed, to enable us to realise what we wanted to achieve. What seemed almost impossible has just happened.

A new day has begun for our beloved Malaysia and Malaysians. A new chapter in our history is begging to be written. It is exactly 4.15 am on this historic day, May 10, 2018. I am too excited to sleep...

Dr Mahathir Mohamad completed a remarkable comeback to the national stage this evening, being sworn in as Malaysia’s seventh prime minister at Istana Negara at the age of 92. The ceremony ended a day of political uncertainty and tension after Barisan Nasional (BN) was swept from power in yesterday’s general election.

“As a government, we will ensure the constitution is upheld and the rule of law will guide us in our administration. Also, in terms of policy, I had mooted ideas of a business-friendly government a long time ago, and had even introduced the concept of Malaysia Inc.  The economy and finances of the country are the main things. We will have to focus on these two things: finances and economic management.”

Our seventh PM possess the full experience of our fourth PM, plus he is now a very much wiser (Know what works and what don’t), witty (able to make us cry or make us laugh simultaneously), repentance and grateful (able to apologise and say thanks) and magnanimous (able to set aside the past, in order to move forward together) slightly older but still full of zest, passion, energy and as hard-working as our fourth PM.

Malaysians have felt Tun’s pains, frustrations, injustice and gallant call for change, reform and for a better Malaysia. We had answered Tun’s call in GE14 and we shall remain united and be focused on the rule of law, finances and economic management.

Dear Tun Dr. Mahathir,

I can feel the heart of Johoreans and their beloved Johor Rulers who only wanted the best for their state and their peoples.  Fortunately Johoreans are very resilient cause many have to wake up very early in the morning to brace the traffic jams and at times rain, wind or burning sun for hours just to cross over to Singapore to start their study, work or doing business; and repeat all over again in the evening making a beeline to get home. Tun please forget about the crooked bridge and instead build a few tunnels linking Johor to Singapore to ease the flow of people, tourists, trades and commerce. At the end of the day, all underground lands will forever belongs to the government.

Thank you

Yours truly,

SS LEE
