Lim Kit Siang : 2018 Christmas Message

2018 Christmas Message: Let’s build Malaysia into one of the world’s top nations where Malaysians can accept and celebrate the diversities of faiths, and the peace, tolerance and co-existence among the diverse religions in the country. Merry Christmas to all Christians in Malaysia. Let us celebrate this first Christmas after the historic decision on May 9, 2018 to bring about a peaceful and democratic transition of power in the six decades of Malaysian history.

Let us unite to Save Malaysia from a global kleptocracy by becoming a leading nation in integrity. Even better , let us fulfil our destiny to be a world top-class nation in various fields of human endeavour, including becoming among the world’s top nations where there is peace, tolerance, acceptance and co-existence among the diverse religions in the country. The leader of an opposition party has warned Muslims not to post Christmas greetings on Facebook because there should not be any acknowledgement of the Christian religion in the country. He could not be more cock-eyed, extremist and unMalaysian, as Malaysians must celebrate the diversity of races, languages, religions and cultures in Malaysia and leverage on the assets and best qualities of this diversity to be the foundation for Malaysia’s greatness.

We must not deny or detract in any way from the rich diversity of races, languages, religions and cultures in Malaysia. The Sultan of Johore Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar’s Christmas greeting of a Merry Christmas to all Christians, wishing all Johoreans celebrating Christmas “love, joy and peace and a wonderful time with families and friends” is in the full spirit of a New Malaysia which is inclusive and all-encompassing of the diversity of races, languages, religions and cultures which have become Malaysia’s precious heritage. In his official Facebook posting, Sultan Ibrahim’s festive message was with a framed picture of him and Permaisuri Johor Raja Zarith Sofiah Sultan Idris Shah. Sultan Ibrahim and Raja Zarith Sofiah are models for Malaysians on the need for religious and cultural tolerance, understanding and acceptance among Malaysians.

All the great religions in the world share common values of love, truth, justice, compassion and community and we should celebrate the diversity of faiths in Malaysia with their respective Golden Rules, instead of inciting distrust, hate and fear among Malaysians with diverse faiths. It is shocking that the very people who are sowing distrust, hate and fear among Malaysians of diverse faiths are proposing a new political bloc to form an “unity government” as a viable political platform that could offer stability. But these people talk “unity” but perpetrate disunity among Malaysians to serve their petty political ends while claiming to embrace political Islam – yet they have no objection when Malaysia was condemned by the whole world as a “global kleptocracy”!

They are quite good in “building castles in the air”, the latest being that the Pakatan Harapan government would only last five years. I agree with the Bersatu President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin that these people will forever be the Opposition. In my 2018 Christmas Message, let me therefore make the call: Let us build Malaysia into one of the world’s top nations where Malaysians can accept and celebrate their diversities of faiths, and the peace, tolerance and co-existence among the diverse religions in the country!

希盟已落实多项惠民政策 魏家祥勿当鸵鸟视而不见

民主行动党社青团全国中委吴家良于2018年12月28日所发布的媒体文告：吴家良今日反驳魏家祥指509是人民开始过苦日子的言论，并认为作为马华总会长的他不仅搞不清楚改朝换代对马来西亚的重要性，还不知悔改地以满口谎言来意图延续政治生涯。吴家良在文告里指出，即使被国阵留下的国债重担所负累，希盟政府不仅仍坚持进行多种体制改革，也实施了多项国阵所做不到的惠民政策，其中包括拨款华教，政府史无前例地在财政预算案中拨款予长期被国阵边缘化的独中、国民型中学（华中），及半津贴华小。

“以安顺为例，当地四所半津贴华小便总共获得35万令吉的拨款，而三民华中获得了26万令吉的拨款，早前十二碑华小更获得了100万令吉拨款作为迁校基金，打破了安顺华小史上数额最大的拨款纪录，由此可见希盟政府对华教的支持不遗余力，”倪可敏机要秘书说道。吴家良也表示，在国阵政府所签的各种偏颇朋党的条约下，希盟政府虽然目前无法马上废除所有高速大道，但也体恤人民的辛苦，故以赔偿大道公司的方式让过路费保持原状，以免加重人民的负担。

除此之外，财政部长林冠英在早前刚宣布，将在明年开始发放100令吉的开学援助金及300令吉的生活援助金予B40群体，协助他们减轻生活负担。随着国际油价近期下跌，林冠英也宣布国内RON 95汽油将在一月一日下调，以确保人民不会打贵油。最后吴家良强调，希盟政府一直都非常关注人民的心声，B40群体的生活困境更是政府的施政重点。他劝魏家祥别误导人民，对种种惠民政策视而不见。吴家良讥讽，也许魏家祥的生活过于优渥，才会对希盟的种种惠民政策无感。

Adib Mohd Kassim is not just a Malay hero, but a hero for all Malaysians

Adib Mohd Kassim is not just a Malay hero, but a hero for all Malaysians and must be honoured as an inspiration to build a new and united Malaysia which can be a world showcase of a successful plural nation. I was in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province in China, when I heard the sad news of the death of firefighter Adib Mohd Kassim, and I tweeted as follows: “Shocked over Adib’s death. He is a Malaysian patriot and hero. His perpetrators must be punished. Let Adib be our inspiration.”

Adib is not just a Malay hero, but a hero for all Malaysians and must be honoured as an inspiration to build a new and united Malaysia which can be a world showcase of a successful plural nation. It will be great if an annual Adib Award can be started on next year’s National Day to honour Adib’s services and sacrifices as an inspiration for Malaysians to dedicate themselves to the building of a new and united Malaysian nation which is also a showcase to the world of inter-racial, inter-religious and inter-cultural harmony, tolerance and understanding in a plural society. There are those who want to use Adib’s death to incite racial and religious tensions and unrest in the country.

I do not think this is what Adib would want to see, as he would want to dedicate his life to the building of a united, harmonious, successful and prosperous multiracial, multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-cultural Malaysian nation.(Media statement by DAP MP for Iskandar Puteri Lim Kit Siang)

My 2018 Christmas Wish

My 2018 Christmas Wish – that Pakatan Harapan can win the next few general elections to accomplish the building of a New Malaysia with the resolution of the inter-party and intra-party PH problems, differences and conflicts. I am making a Christmas wish today – that Pakatan Harapan will grow from strength to strength to win the next few general elections so as to accomplish the building of a New Malaysia with the resolution of the various inter-party and intra-party Pakatan Harapan problems, differences and conflicts.

I am not a Christian but that does not prevent me from making a Christmas wish, just as my making a Hari Raya wish would not make me a Muslim. One reason for making this Christmas wish is to elaborate on what I said in Luoyang, Henan last Thursday, where I responded to a FaceBook post from Tan Sri Clement Hii to explain why DAP would never become a MCA2. The five reasons I had given why DAP will never become MCA2 include DAP leaders fighting for the rights and interests of all racial groups so long as they are Malaysians, while MCA fights or claims to fight for the rights and interests of only the Chinese in Malaysia; that DAP want its leaders and members to be in politics to serve the nation and not to serve themselves, whether for wealth, titles or position; and that DAP politics of multi-racialism is the only way to build a united and successful Malaysia unlike the mono-ethnic politics of MCA.

My statement that in such circumstances, the DAP would have no hesitation in leaving the coalition government if the objective of a New Malaysia is abandoned as DAP leaders will never be as spineless as MCA leaders sent the Opposition into sixes and sevens, feeding on their fevered imagination. On the one hand, there was the attempt to provoke the DAP to quit Pakatan Harapan with one PAS leader alleging that I was “bluffing” about quitting the government, and on the other hand, a MCA leader urging the DAP to “grow a backbone” to exit the government. Most comical of all was the statement by a MCA leader professing hurt at my statement that the DAP will never become a MCA2, “hitting the jackpot” without realising it in claiming that DAP did not qualify to be MCA2.

One reason why the national education curriculum needs an overhaul is because we are producing political leaders who do not understand a simple statement – reading what is not there at all. I never said that DAP was quitting Pakatan Harapan. All I said was that the DAP would not be like the MCA leaders who were most famous for being spineless, and that DAP leaders, whether in government or outside, would have no hesitation in leaving the coalition government if the objective of a New Malaysia is abandoned. I have said many times that a New Malaysia is struggling to be born, and it will require the contribution and participation of Malaysians, both inside the country and among the Malaysian Diaspora worldwide, to ensure that this chance to re-set nation building policies is not wasted or does not fail, for there is not going to be another chance.

It will take more than 100 days, two years or even one five-year general election cycle to take its full shape and form and might even take a decade or two. This is why all Malaysians must develop a Big Picture and Long-term Vision perspectives and for my Christmas wish today that Pakatan Harapan will grow from strength to strength to win the next few general elections so as to accomplish the building of a New Malaysia with the resolution of the various inter-party and intra-party Pakatan Harapan problems, differences and conflicts. Malaysians want a New Malaysia which is united, democratic, just, progressive and prosperous.

Malaysians want a new Malaysia which is a world top class nation which is capable of leveraging on the best of the diverse races, languages, cultures and civilisations that meet in confluence in Malaysia so as to gain international respect and admiration as a successful nation which leads the world in integrity, human excellence and achievement, and not scorned as a global kleptocracy hurtling towards a kakistocracy and failed and rogue state status.

Offends all sensitivities that Najib as the leading kleptocrat for 1MDB could have the equanimity to troll Mujahid over his open letter to Nurul Izzah

Offends all sensitivities that Najib as the leading kleptocrat for 1MDB and other 1MDB-like scandals in Felda, Felcra, MARA and Tabung Haji and who is facing 58 corruption charges with his wife could have the equanimity to troll Mujahid over his open letter to Nurul Izzah. The social media is abuzz with comments and fun over Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa’s letter to Nurul Izzah Anwar who recently resigned from all her government and PKR positions, especially with the use of the poetic Malay term of “kekanda” and “adinda”.

Even Mujahid is enjoying himself, who purposely chose such a form of language to get his message across. But what jars the general merriment is the trolling by former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak. “Drama,” wrote the former prime minister. In a short post on Facebook, accompanied by his smiling picture, Najib asked: “How many nights have you not slept?” “If you still cannot sleep, read prayers invoking God to let you sleep in peace.” This trolling from the from the leading kleptocrat for 1MDB and other 1MDB-like scandals in Felda, Felcra, MARA and Tabung Haji and who is facing 58 corruption charges with his wife offends all sensitivities that he could have the equanimity to troll Mujahid over his open letter to Nurul Izzah. Najib has said that he had to borrow money in order to pay for his expenses and bail money for the 39 corruption and criminal charges with bail amounting to around RM6 million – not to mention the bail money for his wife, Datin Rosmah Mansor.

No sense of compunction or contrition that under his tenure, Malaysia suffered the infamy, ignominy and iniquity of a global kleptocracy – which is what is premiership will be associated with and remembered by. Yet he claims to have the peace of mind and equanimity about sleeping, to the extent he could offer Mujahid advice how to have peace of mind. Najib is really taking Malaysians as numbskulls and nincompoops!
