Drove into Sydney from Melbourne yesterday with John and Mishelle and got in late evening.
28th, spoke at the Australian National University.
Belinda Cranston has written up a report of that talk.
Had an excellent discussion with some young Malaysians after the talk.
There is hope, yet, for our nation.
It rests with the youth.
30th, spoke in Melbourne at a talk organised by SABM – Melbourne.
31st, interviewed by Jim Middleton of the ABC.
You can catch that interview HERE.
Then later that day, had an excellent brainstorm with like-minded Malaysians on how to work together to see a better Malaysia for the 40% marginalised and impoverished back home.
Today, 2pm local time, I speak in Sydney.
The earlier two talks have been video-recorded. Today’s will be, too.
Once edited by the ABU media team, they will be published.
Home tomorrow.
Yes, for better or for worse, Malaysia is home.

No place like home. It is our responsibility to make home livable. Much effort needed.

Haris,
Good to know you are safely back in Sydney after that long drive back from Melbourne.
I’ll bet that Malaysians in Sydney will be waiting eagerly to hear you speak. 🙂

Gee Haris as usual you are rightfully stressing the involvement of our youth who have the freshness and the courage that we older generation lack or are not brave enough to display.
Do hope the youth are following your posts and are being encouraged..
This is a good time, during the Festival of Lights to ask God to purify our actions and thoughts and give us the right direction and insight. to help well meaning leaders, like you, guide us along the path to freedom.and justice.
Welcome back May God give you the strength and wisdom to turn ABU into a huge peaceful movement of the Rakyat, without the mention of race and religion..
It is only when we succeed in making Malaysia a better place a better space…..may we truly call our country home.

Another trip completed on the long haul journey to make Malaysia into a decent place to live in again so thank you for your efforts to that end and have a safe flight and journey back home to Malaysia.
Happy Festival of Light or Deepavali or Diwali to all in Malaysia and to those in the wider interconnected world of mutual human understanding and interdependence.

wandererAUS……..Haris’s work, the new ABU phase, we can dare assume, is just BEGINNING.
It needs vitality, vigour and support from all of us who have the interests of ALL the Rakyat at heart.
Don’t forget Malaysians/Australians in the whole of Australia are getting to know who Haris Ibrahim is. It turns out to be a blessing that his visa was delayed…..hurray!
You are right there, Special Lights guided him to Australia and back to us all, in Malaysia.
