The voters in the six states of Selangor, Penang, Negri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu have a historic and important task on Polling Day on August 12 which is to save Malaysia from a divided, failed and corrupt state like Sri Lanka in the coming decades, and to rise up again to become a great world-class nation.
Both Muhyiddin Yassin and Hadi Awang, the leaders of Perikatan Nasional (PN), have no plans to make Malaysia rise up again to become a great world-class nation.
The most outstanding achievement of Muhyiddin as Prime Minister is to take 10 months in 2020 to drop eleven rankings from No. 51 in Transparency International (TI) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2019 to 62nd ranking in TI CPI 2020, when Malaysia took 22 years to drop from the inaugural TI CPI 1995 ranking of 23 out of 41 countries to 62 out of 180 countries in 2017.
The most outstanding achievement of Hadi Awang was to accuse me of being anti-Malay, anti-Islam, anti-Royalty, cause of May 13, 1969 riots in Kuala Lumpur and a communist, but when challenged to substantiate these wild and preposterous allegations from my 58 years of political work, was unable to do so and to avoid the subject for months and years.
In his Ekonomi Madani vision, the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, promised to make Malaysia the top 25th country in the world in the Transparency International (TI) Corruption Perception Index (CPI). We are now no. 61 out of 180 countries in the TI CPI 2022.
What will be Malaysia’s TI CPI 2023 when it has announced in January 2024. What will be Malaysia’s TI CPI 2024, 2025, 2026 or 2027?
Anwar Ibrahim is the only Prime Minister of Malaysia who dare to promise to make Malaysia the top 25 nations in the world in the TI CPI.
Will he succeed? Time will tell, but meanwhile, he needs all the support of Malaysians to make him succeed to make Malaysia the top 25 nations in the world with the least corruption.
The six state polls this Saturday on August 12 is probably more important than the 15th General Election on Nov. 19, 2022.
This is because the results of the six state polls will decide whether Malaysia can rise again to become a great world-class nation or we are fated to end up as a divided, failed, and corrupt state as intended by the PN in the next few decades.
The Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasonal coalition want to see Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu, the three poorest states in Malaysia, to be as developed and well-off economically as Selangor, Penang, and Negeri Sembilan, the three top states in GDP per capita, and not Selangor, Penang, and Negeri Sembilan become as poor and undeveloped as Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu.
I call on the voters of Damansara Utama on August 12 not only to vote and to ensure that their children and relatives return from outstation and overseas to vote, but to campaign so that Malaysia can rise up again to become a great world-class nation based on unity among all Malaysians, regardless of race, religion or region, and political stability in Malaysia.
As every vote counts in the task for save Malaysia, we should not split our votes but ensure that Jamaliah Jamaluddin gets every single vote in Damansara Utama on August 12.
