Infighting and implosions in UMNO have again and again proven to be a source of great revelation to the rakyat.
Take the one that followed Anwar’s sacking in 1998.
The accusations and cross-accusations that followed.
The juicy details that emerged during the court trials, exposing so many weaknesses in our judicial system, our AG’s chambers and the government as a whole.
When UMNO was split into factions, the ‘who’s done what and to who’ that spilt out into the public space boggled. It just went on and on.
Post the 12th GE, it’s happening again.
The Star this morning, under the headlines ‘Abdullah hits out at his critics’, reports that Pak Lah stressed that he ( Pak Lah ) was not a ‘lembik’ PM.
However, if you glean through the report, Pak Lah did not state why he is not ‘lembik’. He merely went about attacking Dr M, Ku Li and Anwar.
And in the process, shot himself again in his own foot. Silly bugger!
This is what he says of Dr M.
‘…during his time, he asked the media to ‘block out’ stories and photos of (former Prime Minister) Tun Hussein Onn and not give coverage to certain people?’
‘As for Operasi Lalang, don’t forget who’s responsible’
‘Many countries do not have confidence in our judiciary…so I thought I had to do something about it to restore confidence because the people are hoping for reforms in the judiciary’
True, Pak Lah, Dr M was responsible for muzzling the media, Ops Lalang and for messing up the judiciary! You had no hand in it then.
After all, you had sided with Ku Li’s Team B in 86/87 and had been left out of the cabinet until, what, 1991?
What did you do to improve things after you got into the cabinet in 1991? And if you already knew Dr M for what he was, why did you get into his cabinet in the first place? Why not fight him from the outside?
You had to do something to restore confidence in the judiciary, you say?
Like what?
Extend Fairuz’s term? After seeing the Lingam video?
Appoint Zaki to inspire public confidence?
Appoint a 3-man panel to verify authenticity of the video?
Restrict the terms of reference of the Royal Commission of Inquiry?
Pak Lah said this of Ku Li.
‘He was the reason Barisan lost Kelantan to PAS in the first place’
Tell the truth, Pak Lah. Were you not part of Ku Li’s and Musa’s team that took on Dr M in 1986. Ku Li went on to form Semangat 46. Sure, you stayed out of S46. Why? Keeping your options open?
This is an excerpt from Wikipedia on that episode :
Early during Mahathir’s tenure as prime minister, a bitter dispute erupted within the ruling UMNO party and it was divided into two camps, which were colloquially known as ‘Team A’ comprising Mahathir loyalists, and ‘Team B’, which supported former Minister of Finance Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and former Deputy Prime Minister Musa Hitam. Due to this matter, old UMNO party has been declared void by Judge. Mahathir prevailed, leading to the exclusion of Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah from the newly-established UMNO (Baru) or New UMNO. Abdullah was a close supporter of his political mentor Musa Hitam in Team B and subsequently won the April 1987 Vice Presidential race in UMNO elections. However, because of his alliance to ‘Team B’, he was sacked from his position as Minister of Defence. Yet, he did not join Semangat 46 (Spirit 46) party which was set up by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. Semangat 46 is now defunct.
When UMNO (Baru) was formed in Feb 1988, the then UMNO President and Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad brought Abdullah into the protem committee of UMNO (Baru) as the Vice President. In 1990, Abdullah retained his seat as Vice President. During the Cabinet reshuffle in 1991, Mahathir brought Abdullah Ahmad back into the Cabinet as Foreign Minister. He held this post until November 1999 when Syed Hamid Albar succeeded.
Pak Lah’s criticism of Anwar :
when Anwar was the country’s number two he (Anwar) too tried to control the media in terms of what came out on TV and in print
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m still waiting for a reason to trust Anwar.
As for you Pak Lah, your agitations as reported in the Star today confirm one thing.
You have done nothing for the rakyat throughout your political career. Your time in cabinet whether under the stewardship of Dr M, or with yourself at the helm, has been self-serving and little else.
You have been and continue to be a miserable excuse of a PM!
Whilst the nation faces anxious concerns about your successor in cabinet as we do not think your present deputy has a single decent bone or sinew in his body to lead this nation, many, most, if not all of us are certain of one thing.
You must go!
Now!
Dr M, shut up! We’ve had enough of your “Bersatu Mermartabatkan Ketuanan Melayu” crap. You have done enough damage to this country. Go sell your bread and leave us to clean up your mess!
Anwar, say sorry to this nation for your part in 16 years of mismanagement and many, if not all of us, may find it in us to say ‘let’s move on with Anwar in the lead’.
Ku Li…
As for UMNO, I say bury the dead!
April 7, 2008 at 3:11 pm
As long as there are hangers on, Dr M is going to keep on talking. His Yes men are still following him around relishing in whatever he says, hoping that they would benefit from it. Dr M is retired and should remain so.
AS for Pak Dollah, he never seems to know that he is not wanted as PM. He has MMTaib to hang on to now.
April 7, 2008 at 3:29 pm
A brisk, point-by-point dissection and rebuttal. Well-done, Haris.
April 7, 2008 at 3:33 pm
PakLah the singer: I like dreaming..coz dreaming can make you mine…..(sigh!not Malaysian Dream-lah..it’s SEX…man..SEX!
MM the supposed-expired Dr.: But what to do, you people still love me-what, by way of mentioning my name day in day out. How to retire and expire?
KULI: Hey,man! I m not dead yet. If not a roaming Frankenstein, but at least me still a relevant Frankfurter for the market-fray.
Anwar: My dear Haris,(sigh..hic..) sorry seems to be the hardest word…keep pining.
April 7, 2008 at 3:37 pm
A good reminder that the PM had failed the people – his administration was busy the last 4 years covering up the excesses of the last 26 years that came to light!
He made promises, then slept while the years rolled by.
Now he is awaken (by the tsunami), makes more promises, this time with a roar. Will the rakyat buy it?
April 7, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Bravo Haris, you have said it all out which had been lingering in my mind.
April 7, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Ku Li…
Waiting for your take on Ku Li.
Ashok,
He may yet be the best bet as an interrim measure if UMNO is ever to reform.
My take, though, is that the culture of corruption and cronysm is so entrenched in the leadership and rank and file of UMNO that reform may simply be impossible.
Having said that, God, we are told, parted the Red Sea to save the children of Israel from Pharaoh ( no Dr M, this is not a reference to you ) so all things are possible if there is a sincere and real will to change.
April 7, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Dear Haris,
Enjoying this tit for tat among Dr M, Ku Li and Badawi….kind of The Three Stooges comedy!
And I thought the GE was over! This looks like post GE campaign…prelude to a by-election (for Anwar) and Umno election that could lead to a change in the federal government? hmmn…..
Dr M? Why entertain and old horse? Leave him alone to graze in the field and he’ll die of boredom.
Ku Li? Let him graze in the field next to Dr M to reminiscent their old glory (if they don’t go for each other’s throat first!)
Badawi? Aaahh…what can I say….place him in between the two for ‘auld lang syne’!!
p.s You ok? From where I am, I can see fire coming out from your nose like in the Dragonheart movie. Sure you do not want to reserve your energy for the impending by-election and Umno election?
arianna,
You hooked up to the cctv in my office, ah?
UMNO election? Let the living dead fight it out!
By-election? Now that is something to ponder over!
April 7, 2008 at 4:57 pm
One reporter write that the kids glove has been removed. But the issue really is have Badawi put on his iron glove instead and leave his enemies, in this case Dr. M primarily dead on the streets. Dr. M tried to kill off Anwar and Anwar came back to haunt him. If Badawi does not finish him off, Dr. M will do even worst.
For example, they are contemplating raising gas prices before UMNO GA. When the protest hit the streets, Dr. M is going to milk it for all it got.
But does he have it in him to destroy Dr. M? I don’t think so. Its not so simple because it also mean fractionalizing UMNO. There are ardent supporter of Dr. M and setting a precedent of witch-hunt for former PM is not something many UMNO members are comfortable with because, then its open season on all past heros of UMNO.
No we are in a battle royal that will go on pass December GA now…
Bigjoe,
My gut feel is that Pak Lah’s fate will be sealed well before the December GA.
April 7, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Well done Haris,
Short and sweet (well maybe not so sweet to the so called VIPs) but straight to the point.
Excellent
April 7, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Do you think that Najib would perform better? or Ku Li?
Umno members are not very fond of royalty. Fact is there is no one to take over if BN continues to rule!
hassan malik,
If you meant who is the preferred to take over from Pak Lah, if the choice is only confined to the two you named, I would say Ku Li without any hesitation.
April 7, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Beautifully said.
I do spot some anger in there. Still beautifully said.
As for “I’m still waiting for a reason to trust Anwar”,
its like this.
Anwar is the best we presently seem to have to lead this country forward. May for the moment be the only.
He has made his mistakes. He has acknowledged some of them, but not all.
He cannot go back on putting each race in our own little tracks to run on. He has openly supported Hindraf. Shouted Makkal Sakthi. And he has said no to NEP. About Islamic State, unless it is permitted to lie and to deceive in the process of finally achieving that state, I cannot believe he can support it.
He has been screwed by the judiciary that he supported. He supported the Salleh Abas sacking. He paid the price for it. He should know how easy it is to make irrelevant what he thinks is absolutely relevant.
No, I don’t need to trust him. He can take his own sweet time to acquire that from me. And that is not important. What is important is that he is the type of leader that Malaysia needs right now. It is the kind of charisma that can keep us all gelled up and frustrate any attempts by UMNO to undo Pakatan Rakyat or the loss of the government by UMNO.
He has the attributes and the properties now required to keep the bangsa Malaysia united at this vital time and his hands will be full doing just that.
No I don’t need to trust him in order for him to take over now. He has made the kind of mistakes that only a fool and a moron will care to repeat. I do not think Anwar is stupid or a moron.
Fact is, the next five years under UMNO will have nothing to do with forging the country forward and united. They will just bicker and bicker and blunder. Let them. Just leave the country alone.
For this reason alone what ever has to happen for PR to govern, I will support it. The next 5 years under UMNO is somehow gloomy to look at. Not that the next 5 years under PR will be sunshine. But at least there is hope.
April 7, 2008 at 5:47 pm
I find it amusing to think that Pak La till today didnt know why he won with such a big mandate in 2004. Psychologist will term this as still in DENIAL STAGE!!
Did he think he was a great PM that he broke all previous Prime Ministers election victory records?
The rakyat are really fed up and full of the nonsense created by Dr.M. By giving a large mandate to Badawi (Mr. CLEAN )in 2004 was a message to clean up the mess and not sweep under the carpet. Or did he oversell himself..
Why he lost in 2008 is because he didnt even sweep things under the carpet, he had a 4 year snooze while his cronies decided to take what they could form the cookie jar.
Why shoot back at past UMNO leaders, you are all in same boat. Rakyat realised this and wanted you to clean up the past shit but there must be an unknown compromise not to expose past misdeeds of past UMNO leaders.
If there is no shit in UMNO why are documents missing or shredded when opposition takes over government?
Pak La, wake up, your UMNO frens are correct, UMNO is heading downhill. Rakyat sees it all now and will decide again in 2012. Mahathir may escape if he doesnt live long enough or falls sick he cant attend court hearings like Suharto our neighbour.
Looks like Badawi will be remembered in Malaysian history as the PM with largest and worst mandate. Please dont rewrite the history books for UMNO’S sake!
The natural laws of retribution will fall in place soon, Just Trust in God!!
April 7, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Choosing between Najib and Ku Li is like choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea. Both have UMNO and its race-based approach branded into their DNAs.
April 7, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Bad Bad bad
Bad Boys
Bad Bad Bad
Bad……..awi
Hope there are song writers out there to finish this…
April 7, 2008 at 5:57 pm
An article well written and direct to the point.
Now, that’s what I called having the testicular fortitude to put thoughts to words and then into cyberprint.
IF only the editors of the MSM and some of the new online newspapers have the ‘balls’ to echo the people’s feelings in their pages, the rakyat would be a better bunch of informed people.
But no, they have to be evasive,manipulative, censuring,patronising,beating around the bush,and with some, populate their editorials with ‘complex sentences’ that at the end of the read, one can barely understand what are being put across.
And not to mention, servitude. The masters, we know-lah.
Haris, two thumbs up for the article.
April 7, 2008 at 6:02 pm
well like Harris says about DSAI,” I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m still waiting for a reason to trust Anwar”
well for me personally I view pkr with suspicion as majority were ex-umno and tarnished by the same brush, MB Khalids statements are very reminiscent of an umno mans double speak, I still remember Anwar’s statements calling all the non-bumis as PENDATANG..YES FOLKS he coined that phrase, at Tpca stadium, and very soon after that an army personell went on a shooting spree in chow kit and was finally aprehended at sultan sulaiman club in KG. BARU, part and parcel of mahathirs and UMNO;s politics, throughout all this ANWAR was one of the leading figures of the ketuanan and culminating in the ops lalang fiasco, why was all this necessary, don’t forget this was when BANK BUMI fiasco with the carrian group, HK and the murder of the special branch officer / auditor??? and ops lalang was on the criticism on the north south highway, throughout ANWAR WAS VERY VOCAL
April 7, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Well said it Harris….these is exactly what is in everybody’s mind, In a nutshell this guys PM, DPM, TDM, KU LI, KERISMUDIN, KJ and etc. Sometimes I really wonder how the hell they run this country. Keep it BRO…Matahari
April 7, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Perhaps some other kind of alternatives are needed in Malaysia -beyond the options we see now. Notice that the present options are there because they are the ones who are permitted to exist under present repressive conditions. When the oppressor is destroyed there will be a thousand and 1 other new options arising eg see what happened in Indonesia after Suharto fell. Imagination, courage and determination to see a better Malaysian society is in short supply?????
April 7, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Haris,whatever people want to comment,you already summerised it for us.What left for me to comment other than,
1.Abdullah should take the open challenge thrown by mahathir he is not corrupt.
Its wilL happen in my dreams if this bn will dig into x files of samy,rafidah or whoever the citizen of malaysia accuse them corrupt.
How much is the salary of yb or mp? soory to say my income more than theirs but stil cant afford to stay in bukit damansara with big guard house.Only i can afford to stay somewhere in bukit…..ampang.
BIG MORONS BN.
April 7, 2008 at 6:23 pm
By the way Haris, tomorrow happens to be the ra’ayat’s 1 month anniversary celebrating the power of civil society
April 7, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Hi Guys,
all our spirited blogs, replies, forums etc on the NET has already acheived its Goal ie to put a permanent dent on the UMNO Led Barisan rule. Now the different Hyenas , and other predatory animals within the system is moving in to finish of the remaining hell. all we need to really do now is watch. there will be a new order within most of the grouping of UMNO, MCA, MIC etc
Preserve the energy – in 4 years time we have to muster this again to wage any new enemies that may emerge
mind you like all predatory and mutuating virus called Politicians we really need all our energy to restore world order –
the current thing is like the killing of the Emprer by Darth Vader himself (decide which is Pak lah and which is mahathir -this means the gang) – so all “rebel alliance ie blogger ” just dive for cover to see the Death Star explode (sorry gang i die hard star wars fan)
April 7, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Much of what needs to be said has already been well said by Haris and others. I’d just like to add a few points.
Whether or not Anwar wrests the federal government from UMNO/BN, the country still needs a viable UMNO/BN for the time being. Why? Because an overwhelmingly powerful Pakatan Rakyat will end up giving us more of the same shit.
The only way the rakyat can wield their voting power is if there is an alternative to vote for. That is why we need an opposition that is almost as strong as the government, whether it is BN or PR. Or some other future party or coalition with some other primary agenda.
For this reason, whoever takes over UMNO has to have some degree of credibility. If his credibility is comparable to Anwar’s, that’s good enough for me. I believe Ku Li may well be the right person. Muhyddin is a relative unknown, but I’m not writing him off just yet. He may have what it takes.
It will take a lot of work before the racial-divide virus can be completely removed from our systems. Many ardent supporters of PR (or components of it) are also still strongly infected. But we are not writing them off.
Similarly, we should not write off UMNO and its hangers-on. What we have to do is to neutralise their propaganda machine so that they are less able to inject their poison into the system.
Going by what the MSM are still doing, the success of the Benar campaign is essential if their triggering of race/religion disputes is to be curbed.
Singam,
Am in complete agreement, especially the last sentence.
April 7, 2008 at 7:54 pm
We have just started the first step towards change. It is a long road through evolution and can only be shortened through the changed mindset of Malays, Bumiputras and Muslims if they can cleanse their minds from the 50 years of brainwashing of ketuanan melayu, NEP, Islam done by UMNO.
The non malays must also open their minds and be ready for a new era of malaysian politics and not be sidelined through fear and political apathy.
Race based politics are surely out. If only the younger generations starting from Keris Hishamuddin can learn from his grandfather that race based politics is not for Malaysians.
Why cant we have the best person for a Prime Minister or members of the cabinet? Now we have the blind leading the blind, sorry no offence meant to my less sighted friends.
April 7, 2008 at 8:02 pm
LOL! Bad hair day, huh bro.
Nothing for me to add to your extensive list except…
Maybe it’s time for the best candidate from ANY political party to step up to the plate and vie for the post of PM. Yes, this means it may not be a malay.
As much as we, civil society, are striving to establish a non race-based political and education system reflecting our culturally rich nation, IMO it’s the political will to change/adapt and move forward that’s missing from the equation.
Practically every race based party we have now uphold the right to look after their own and we’ve been stuck in this rut for 50 years.
However, GE12 showed that a certain portion of the 48% of Barisan Rakyat voters crossed racial and/or political barriers to choose a candidate from Pakatan Rakyat. It may have been in protest to BN or perhaps, not. It may have been a sign of utter frustration and not political maturity. Nonetheless, some voters took a chance and chose to ‘change’ their mindset.
Why aren’t we seeing the same effort being offered by BN or PR?
Flogging the UMNO carcass is easy, bro. Once it’s buried, can we not plant a seed of hope over it and nuture this to fruition. Barisan Rakyat is here to stay, if you get my drift.
Loud & clear, bro
April 7, 2008 at 10:24 pm
After taking over the reigns of power from Mahathir, PM Badawi is now saying that the rot in the Judiciary began during the stewardship of Mahathir. My question to PM Badawi is, what have you done to stop the rot since you came to power? Are you saying that the Judiciary that we have today is rotten?
Why keep silent all these while Badawi, when you knew there was a serious problem in the Judiciary? Do you know dear Badawi, by saying that the Judiciary is in such a sad state of affairs, puts you in a very precarious position. You must now proof to the Rakyat that your allegations against the Judiciary is with basis and truth. If not, be prepared to face the music from the Judiciary. Remember, dear Badawi, you are not above the law. Whatever you say and do, can be used against you in a Court of Law. I hope you have not made this allegation out of desperation to stay in power and to counter attack Mahathir’s salvos against your regime.
April 7, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Yeah, bury the dead!
There is no reason to trust Anwar! However for the moment I will go along because of Azizah.
There is no certainty that Anwar will contest an MP post, and even if he did, that he will win. I’d rather he stay out and continue as advisor. Azizah, who is acceptable to DAP, Pas and the rakyat at large, would make a good PM don’t you think? And after the EGM, Ku Li as an opposition leader?
April 7, 2008 at 10:46 pm
blunder after blunder;even if no one is perfect who is Pak Lah to name Najib as heir to the throne…it’s about the members deciding and from the options given that was named maybe a lady can pull a fast one!!! Not Rafidah nor Azlina……….someone else!!! With more than half of UMNO’s being of the fairer sex maybe we can be fair…hu!huuuuh
April 7, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Mahathir was an immense distortion field and even now, after multiple heart attacks and an enforced retirement, he still wants to influence the course of history. Anyone coming into close contact with the Mahathir Vortex is inevitably sucked into a megalomanic hologram. I know lots of otherwise intelligent people who openly admired Mahathir and praised him for “putting Malaysia on the world map.” The only time I ever saw eye to eye with the man was when he spoke out against the Neocon Dreams of a New American Century. I also happen to endorse Mahathir’s call for a final end to war on earth. Ironic, isn’t it, that as a world statesman, Mahathir comes across as a real hero with the temerity to show Uncle Sam the finger – but at home he was undoubtedly a cruel despot who singlehandedly destroyed the horizon of decency (not to mention huge chunks of the natural environment) with his ego-driven high-rise Vision 2020. My point is, during his 16 years understudying the Great Leader, Anwar Ibrahim had no choice but fall in line as a card-carrying Mahathirite.
Otherwise he would have been out in a shot. Yes, Anwar was contaminated – just like all the other Umno strongmen. So in terms of Anwar’s trustworthiness as a politician in 2008, I would say this: those who do not trust reveal a lack of trust in themselves. Why should I not trust a man who has been arrested under the ISA to abolish that hideous law (among others) at the earliest opportunity? Once the Pakatan Rakyat takes over the Federal government and Anwar (or Kak Wan, why not?) becomes the PM, I fully expect that all oppressive laws will be repealed, the press unmuzzled, the judiciary overhauled from top to bottom, and the police force cleansed of its politically compromised criminal element. Only if the Pakatan Rakyat seems tardy in carrying out these basic reforms will I begin to rail against them.
April 8, 2008 at 12:06 am
so much as been said and done after the election. honestly, even as a mere citizen who is not familiar with politics,one can tell the whole barisan national team are not only hypocrites but also liars in their own sense. i honestly feel that its about time that we come of age and forget about one race trying to rule this wonderful country. i believe a lot of malays out there dont even bother who rules. lets b mature about it, why cant we have a non muslim PM, deputy or for that matter defence or finance. i dont see why there is MIC, MCA, GERAKAN and PPP.when they really dont make a significant of thier exsistance felt who they represent. for example PPP, Kavayeas, who is he really representing. i guess just himself. pathetic! i for one would like to see that all races live as one, respect, honour and tolerate one another.
April 8, 2008 at 1:34 am
Well done Harris. You share my thoughts except I think you tend to overtrust Ku Li, the sunset politician. I read comments from others too, and common guys, can we leave God out of the arguments? I dont think He knows Malaysia as such and all the political clowns that we are all talking about. Probably not in the same angle as we all see it.
Btw I know He does not approve of Pas’s Islamic state, thats for sure, much to my joy!!
April 8, 2008 at 7:48 am
CONGRATULATIONS from
blogrank.info for the hot post
April 8, 2008 at 8:53 am
Thank you for the insightful and sensible comments and answers to all involved.
April 8, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Haris, very critical piece of work. These UMNO fellows must admit their mistakes and apologise to the Rakyat. They have really messed up with all our systems like the judiciary, education etc, and wasted almost all our resources through the decoy of NEP due to their own lust and greediness,and leave almost nothing except the bad examples for our future generations. As for Anwar, I do agree that he must listen and show us his sincerity to change, if he wants to be the future prime minister.
April 8, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Well written, Haris.
Typical scenario when thieves fall apart – the spilling and blame game starts.
Like you, it’s hard for many of us to fully trust Anwar but if not for him, who else?
So, maybe as what Antares and Paul Warren says – give him this chance, if he trips – we will be after him with a vengeance !!
April 8, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Dear Harris
Timely observation on your part!
April 10, 2008 at 10:03 am
Haris, I have read this topic a few times and I am really amazed at such a wonderful piece of article. I am in full agreement and am truly also believe your take on this
[i]Anwar, say sorry to this nation for your part in 16 years of mismanagement and many, if not all of us, may find it in us to say ‘let’s move on with Anwar in the lead’.[/i]
Had wanted to comment on this for two days and really have found nothing more to say except, Well written.
April 10, 2008 at 2:24 pm
The natural laws of retribution will fall in place and happened right now!!
BN and its component parties is in deep shit and they still cannot accept the fact that Rakyat (Malaysians) had lost faith and confidence in them as what GE 12th clearly shown and going downhill day by day. Their times are numbered and why we all rush to discuss about them. They are irrelevance and not applicable to current society, no matter how they reform or merge, without letting go all their ego and racial prides that have rooted for 50 years. I doubt they are the listening one or just in denial (as they still doing the same old tricks now).
We as Rakyat must look ahead at the future and participate in the restoration of our nation into a better and deserved one.
April 10, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I’d a dream…
A dream about a birth of nation
Its Rakyat holding hands in hands
Regardless of skin colours
Working restlessly on building up the nation
Wheel of change is spinning
A New dawn of nation names as Malaysia in making
A place for true Malaysians…
