National institutions are no longer free to fulfil their roles as checks and
balances.
Appointment to key positions are done in suspicious ways. From the media
to the judiciary to the legal system and higher education institutions, all do
not have the needed autonomy to function effectively.
The wisdom of our esteemed Rulers are ignored. As a result, the Prime
Minister behaves like a king with unchecked and heavily centralised powers.
Normal Malaysians no longer enjoy social and economic justice. Our
freedom to speak has been curbed with various regulations. Our
entrepreneurial potentials are slowed down by unnecessary bureaucracy,
monopoly and cronyism.
Some citizens do not even have access to basic services like good (REMOVE
THE WORD: good) quality education and healthcare.
Our country is burdened with an unimaginable level of debt as a result of
the gross incompetence of the Najib’s government. And the people are being
forced to pay for it through taxes and cuts in allocations.
The wealth generated by the country is monopolised by those in power while
more and more Malaysians are forced to take up two jobs just to survive.
UMNO and Barisan Nasional today has brought this country very far from
the vision of our founding fathers and independence or freedom fighters.
The honour of this nation must be reclaimed. Pakatan Harapan will bring
back the glory that we once had so that we can stand proud as a globally
respected nation.
