My plead with Tun Mahathir

Publish date: Fri, 28 Feb 2020, 07:41 AM

Dear all,

I intend to post below comment at Tun Mahathir’s Blog later.

Anymore thing would you like me to add?

Dear PM Tun Dr Mahathir,

Refer to Tun’s full televised speech text, translated below:

https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2020/02/569342/dr-mahathirs-full-speech-text-english

Quote, “I ask to be given time. But my party, Bersatu decided to leave Pakatan Harapan. There are also those from other component parties who are set to leave. With this, the Pakatan Harapan government would collapse.

The effect of Bersatu supporting Umno and Pas is that the parties which lost the election would go on to form the government. This government would be dominated by Umno, by virtue of it being the biggest party.

I can accept Umno members who leave the party and join another party. But Umno would be joining this unity government as Umno itself. This I could not accept. So I had to resign.” Unquote

Please allow me to express my profound thanks and gratitude to Tun for Tun’s principled stand as revealed by Bersatu supreme council member Datuk A. Kadir Jasin “Whatever form of government Dr Mahathir decides on, one thing is sure. The crooks, kleptocrats, the OKTs and the generally corrupt are not welcome. This he made clear to his party at the Sunday meeting”

I admire Tun’s noble intention of a unity nonpartisan Government, “Politicians and political parties place too much emphasis on politics until they forget that the country is facing economic and health issues.

In my opinion, right or wrong, politics and political parties have to be cast aside for now. If I am permitted, I will try to establish an administration which does not favour any party. The only priority would be the interests of the country.

This is what I will try to do if given the opportunity. I pray and ask Allah SWT for guidance in my endeavour.”

But unfortunately Tun’s proposal is now clearly rejected by both sides.

Tun,

A week is a long time in politics –Harold Wilson.

Tun’s was overconfident, “I felt that I had support from all sides to the extent that I was unable to choose a side”

“Muhyiddin might become a candidate. If everyone chooses him, I am OK,” he told reporters after announcing the economic stimulus package at the Prime Minister’s Office here.

“If everyone chooses him, he can form his Cabinet,” said Mahathir, who met Muhyiddin today.

He described Muhyiddin as more accepting of opposition members.

“My position is I will not accept Umno, but I will accept those who leave Umno.

“But Muhyiddin is ready to accept them. Whoever wins I will accept him to be the prime minister,” he added.

On July 29, Azmin thanked PAS and Umno for ignoring their differences with Mahathir in urging the prime minister to stay on until the end of the term.

Azmin’s comments came amid his apparent fall-out with his party boss, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, whom Pakatan Harapan (PH) has said will take over from Mahathir mid-term.

Kadir said the stand by Umno and PAS should not be seen as a statement in support of Mahathir.

“For the Umno-PAS combination, breaking up PH is a key objective,” he said.

Tun should have known better what UMNO and PAS are up to. Their supports for Tun were never sincere and they are in hurry to break up PH to save their skin. They will continues using religion and race baiting to divide Malaysians and by hook, by crook, by backdoor, by side-door, by front-door and powered with Cash is King “Apa Malu Bossku” slogan; the crooks, kleptocrats, the OKTs and the generally corrupt will find their way into Corridor of Power and we RAKYAT Malaysians can kiss our Shared Prosperity 2030 goodbye.

Tun must now choose a side for greater unity of Malaysia and Malaysians and honor Tun’s repeated promise to hand over the country's leadership to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Please give Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim a chance to continue with PH’s reform agenda and rebuild Malaysia towards Unity, Justice and Shared Prosperity. We can have GE-15 in the year 2023, by which time we can make an informed judgment which political parties deserved our mandate for another 5 years period. This is how a democratic system works.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH PH AND THE RAKYAT WITH PRINCIPLES, CONSCIENCE AND MORAL!

Thank you

Yours truly,

SS LEE

It's official! Tun Mahathir sworn in as 7th Prime Minister

Pakatan Harapan chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was officially sworn in as the seventh Prime Minister of Malaysia on Thursday night. He took his oath of office as Prime Minister before Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V at the Istana Negara at 9:57pm, May 10 2018.

Tun had done the impossible and I together with many Malaysians will forever be grateful to Tun and will always treasure this historic moment where I cried in joy when Tun was officially sworn in as the seventh Prime Minister of Malaysia. I was full with hope that finally a New Malaysia is dawned on us and on its way to reform, rebuilds and on course towards unity, justice and prosperity. Today I cried again because I see the same old Malaysia of racial divide, religion bigotry, suppression of dissenting views and injustice.

Please pardon me to say perhaps Tun had lose the plot and it is time for Tun to let go and not over-stay Tun's welcome but make a gracious exit. We Malaysians would want to preserve and maintain Tun’s rich legacy and remember Tun as a true iconic statesman with whom Malaysia was blessed with and a true Malaysia’s son that we Malaysians are proud of.

Wolves In Sheep's Clothing - Live and die an ignobly life without shame, honour or dignity

“Among the signs of a hypocrite are three, even if he fasts and prays and claims to be religious: when he speaks he lies, when he gives a promise he breaks it, and when he is trusted he betrays.”

Why and what we must (but always fail to) learn from medieval people's bitterness and failed civilizations (before it's too late)?

Lesson No.1: Wolves In Sheeps Clothing

Beware of false holy men, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as angels. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves gurus, teachers and preachers to suit their own passions

You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit (increasing poverty, weakening of ringgit, etc)

A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Medieval wisdom: What ancient texts have warned us we about Wolves In Sheep's Clothing?

Malaysians, please watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our country, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

Many bad leaders will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

Poor motherland, her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, shedding blood, destroying lives to get dishonest gain. Poverty and misery persist.

PH Pleads With Rakyat One More Time

EVERY SO OFTEN, THERE ARE MOMENTS THAT DEFINE A GENERATION. AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS YOUNG PH GOMEN, WE FACE OUR OWN DEFINING MOMENT. OUR NATION IS IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO SERIOUS EXTERNAL THREATS - GLOBAL RECESSION AND COVID-19 PANDEMIC. BUSINESS FAILED. MANY MIDDLE CLASS PPL LOST THEIR JOBS. POOR PEOPLE CONTINUE TO SUFFER.

BUT WE STILL MUST BE GRATEFUL. IN THIS MOMENT OF GREAT CHALLENGE EXISTS AN EVEN GREATER OPPORTUNITY. FOR IN MANY OF MY FORUMS NATIONWIDE, I HAVE FOUND THAT THE DISILLUSIONMENT WITH PH IS NOT LOMITED TO ANY ONE PARTY OR GROUP OF PEOPLE. IT IS SHARED BY INDEPENDENTS, AMANAH, PKR, DAP AND EVEN THE OPPOSITION PARTIES FROM ALL WALLS OF LIFE WHO ARE TIRED OF BEING DISAPPOINTED BY THE PETTY POLITICS THAT STOP US FROM FACING AND SOLVING CHALLENGES LIKE RESPONSIBLE EDUCATION, AFFORDABLE HEALTH PROVISION AND RAMPANT CORRUPTION NATIONWIDE YEAR AFTER YEAR.

THESE MALAYSIANS AND MILLIONS MORE UNDERSTAND THAT AT THIS DEFINING MOMENT IN HISTORY, WE JUST CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP DOING WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. THEY ARE READY TO COME TOGETHER, PUSH ASIDE THEIR DIFFERENCES AND CHOOSE A NEW AND BETTER FUTURE FOR MALAYSIA.

THIS CROSSROAD OFFERS THAT CHOICE. I HAVE A VISION FOR MALAYSIA ROOTED IN THE VALUES THAT HAVE ALWAYS MADE SARAWAK THE LAST HOPE OF MALAYSIA - VALUES THAT HAVE BEEN EXPRESSED TO ME ON FRONT PORCHES AND FAMILY FARMS; IN TOWN HALL MEETINGS AND INSIDE BUSINESS OFFICES. THEY BELIEVE IN PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, HARD WORK, AND SELF-RELIANCE. THEY DON'T LIKE SEEING THEIR TAX RINGGIT WASTED.
