Sincerity is the key to a United Malaysia

Submitted by webmaster on Sat, 2010-11-06 09:51



MUCH has been argued by various quarters after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak announced his 1Malaysia vision, concept, policy, motto or whatever you choose to describe it.



It will surely be just another post-Merdeka rhetoric if there is no sincerity to forge a truly 1Malaysia.



For 1Malaysia to be realised, Malaysians must be really united for their country.



Whether this can be achieved will depend on the sincerity of the people, their leaders and the government.



Suspicion is a damper in efforts to forge unity. Malaysians cannot afford to go on quarrelling over pre-Merdeka communal issues forever and hope for Malaysia to transform into a prosperous nation.



Malaysians must cast aside all their suspicions and work together united as one towards a progressive and prosperous nation.



There cannot be socio-economic progress if Malaysians continue to bicker over pre-Merdeka issues with the government having no political will to take the lead towards a United Malaysia.



The first and foremost acknowledgment for the government is to recognise and accept the growing post-Merdeka generation and the Information Technology (IT) era.



As short as 20 years ago, the people’s access to information was limited to the middle class and the rich.



Today, our children are attending IT classes and schools are equipped with internet connections.

Information is King and it is now almost a borderless access. Therefore, the days of double-talk and deceit will not work anymore. Words must be backed by sincere action.



For example, on the issue of corruption, we cannot just remain rhetoric and hope the people will back us.



That is why I was willing to risk my MCA presidency and even my cabinet post by exposing the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) multi-billion-ringgit  financial scandal.



Today, as an ordinary Pandan MP, I still refuse to back down or back out. Those who benefitted from the scandal at taxpayers’ interest must face the music.
