As I mentioned in an earlier post, SABM will be hosting a dialogue on 31st October, 2009 with political parties on both sides of the divide to appraise them of the SABM Charter and to elicit if they will endorse the same and work with us on taking our “One People, One Nation” message to the rakyat.
Ee Chia and Colin’s efforts unearthed 33 political parties supposedly in existence Malaysia.
We could only get the contact details of 21, though.

It will be interesting to see how Human Rights Party is going to react to SABM.
At the moment HRP’s site http://www.humanrightspartymalaysia.com/ puts its motto as “Focusing to put working class Indians into the national mainstream development of Malaysia”. Wonder how HRP is going to uphold “One People, One Nation” while focusing on Indians only.

Dear Haris,
I sincerely hope the invited parties do attend this open dialogue as only then can we know their stand.

Surprise, surprise..(at least for me)..whoever thought that there was a Parti Punjabi!!!
It seems as if the Indian Malaysian community is always wanting to be divided.
Is it any wonder that the rule over them is so decisive and strong?
Does the Punjabi community think that it is not part of the Malaysian Indian community?
I’d like to know….
By the way,Haris, Ketuanan Ra’ayat sounds good….makes one feel motivated to put things right for the common good of all Malaysians.
Good luck, SABM, for the 31st of October….what a great initiave!

“Journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.”… Mao Zedong.
I thank God for SABM in making this very important step to realise the vision of ‘One People, One Nation’.
Keep up the great work SABM !

Good effort-Harris! The way to go by the real citizens of Malaysia who are not fettered by the power ambitions of any side to keep their mouth shut!
It is time to make the parties account to the people rather than wait humbly for the parties to throw what they please to the people!

Learning from the PAS ‘unity’ group and Kulim Wonder, endorsement should be at party level as well as individual level. Politicians who do not endorse will be highlighted. Their party must agree to deal with those who reneged on commitment.

vis a vis the present feeling of lost in the wilderness prevailing in the country like a permanent fog, your this initiative seems rather out of time & place , equally lost in the fog !
Whatever happened ? could well be the awful fog fever

Haris there is a request in a malaysiakini commentary for you to help organise a support group to clean-up cooruption flowing from the Gen Auditor’s report. A BERSIH 2 campaign. looks like a good suggestion

Dear Haris,
I honestly hope this works out. I do not have much confidence on PAS though . They have been a major dissapointment to me
