The Star, 09 March 2008The people have spoken:
The Barisan Nasional gomen (government) - you cannot continue to be a racist, religious bigot gomen and plunder the nation through corruption.
Bravo! Malaysians. We have sent a clear message and this day will go down in the annals of our nation that the CORRUPTED OFFICIALS, RACISTS and RELIGIOUS BIGOTS have to go.
We are a multi-racial and multi-religious country and if we work together we shall be the greatest nation in the world. No country in the world has the asset that we have - a multi-racial population who is dynamic and progressive. We can take on China, India, the USA etc , to become the world's greatest economic power. We can do it without any problem for we have the best of everything.
We have everything ONLY if the BN gomen is ready to get rid of its racist, bigotry ways and also weed out corruption. The ball is in your court BN.
Let's work together once the dust has settled. Let's work towards healing our great nation. Let's show the world Malaysia will lead the way for racial and religious harmony. We've no other way except to be united, regardless of our colour, creed or religious affliction, for we have no other home we can go to except Malaysia.
I dearly hope the government will work with the opposition for the people want the opposition to speak for them. In developed countries, the opposition is also elected as ministers in the ruling government so I don't see why the BN can't do the same.
We are already in 2008 and do we want to continue to fight over along racial and religious lines for the next fifty years?
