Our struggle is never just about winning elections. In fact, it is the deciding field as to whether Malaysia will continue to be driven by the old politics laden with hatred and abuse of power, or move forward as an order centered on the principles of accountability, justice and kindness to the majority of people. We have proven that what is desired is not just a slogan. Governance is tightened, leakages are combated, investment is enhanced and world confidence in Malaysia is restored. However, …

A nation does not rise in rank simply because of splendor or speed of technology. It will only be lifted when the results of the progress reach and are felt by the people in need, namely fishermen who cross the ocean, farmers who cultivate paddy fields and bendang, as well as families who have high hopes for the future of their children. So our task is not only to attract investment and develop the economy, but to ensure that every policy that is enacted is rooted in courtesy, justice and concer…

Spend Sunday attending the 10th KOPROJAYA Annual General Meeting in Putrajaya. I look at the cooperative movement from a broader angle than just profits or dividend returns.

From there the debate about social justice and social democracy was b…

The long history of mankind teaches that building a nation or a civilization requires a high level of patience, wisdom and wisdom, avoiding reckless behavior, as well as having an intact and accurate commitment.
