Dear all,

Another comment I posted at Tun Mahathir blog.

Dear Tun Dr Mahathir,

The game of politics according to the philosopher Bertrand Russell is the process by which people choose the man who will get the blame.

Power is sweet; it is a drug, the desire for which increases with a habit - Bertrand Russell

In Malaysia content, generation of Malay Politicians have masterfully playing the blame game on DAP, the non-bumiputra and using their race and religion trump card  to sweet talk their own Malay brothers and sisters into believing they are the Malay and Muslim Champions and are there to protect the Malay and Muslim rights/interest.

But once these Malay politicians were elected to be YB MP or YB ADUN and in Corridors of Power they fail miserably to live up to the legitimate expectations of the people to be a true patriotism, selfless devotion to duty, and complete willingness to dedicate their lives to the causes of nation-building and raising the peoples’ standard of living as they fell into the same trap as many third world leaders succumbed to corrupting tendencies of power. Many of these Malay Politicians are now billionaire whereas majority of the B40 are Malay.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. - Abraham Lincoln

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, shame on both of us. ― Stephen King

Malay easily forget and had been fooled by their own Malay or those hijacked Malay identity (Indonesian, Filipino, Borneo political frog and etc) Politicians repeatedly and persistently for decades. Unfortunately till today some of the Malays still say “But DSN is Malay blame only JL”.  The facts are DSAZH, TSMA, DBMR, DSAAAR, TSMIAS, DSTA, DSAM, TSSAS and DSRM are Malay too, then who to blame? Is it JL faults also?

The Knives are out for Tun Mahathir as UMNO’s Cyber-troopers, BERSATU’s Turncoats and Peoples’ Mandate Betrayers are out in full force to discredit Tun Mahathir.

As for me as Chinese Malaysian, I am tired to be the pouching bag/scapegoat for all the Malaysia’s ills and been treated as second class citizen not matter how many generations we were born in Malaysia whereas someone born in Indonesia or Philippine who can easily hijacked the Malay-Muslim identity are welcome to be our YB MP, YB ADUN and one day become our PM. So please have the cake and eat it too.

So long my beloved Tun Mahathir please takes care.

Farewell my proud child “Malaysian Dream” you have brought me hope and joy that I will treasure forever.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Speech; “I have a dream” delivered 28 August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington DC.

I do have dreams of my own:
I have a dream; I dream of a day where I shall call myself Malaysian and if you insist that I put in more detail in front of Malaysian, I will say I am a Proud Kedahan Malaysian.

I have a dream; I dream of the day where my grandchildren will live in a nation where they will be judged by the content of their character and not by the colour of their skin or religion.

I have a dream; I dream of a day Malaysians can truly embrace and celebrate our diversity where different ethnicity, religions and cultures live in peace and harmony with mutual understanding, respect and acceptance.

I have a dream; I dream of a day where G25’s (A Malaysian group made up of prominent Malays) mission will be accomplished.
https://www.g25malaysia.org/about-us
Mission: G25 is committed to pursue a just, democratic, peaceful, tolerant, harmonious, moderate and progressive multi-racial, multi cultural, multi religious Malaysia through Islamic principles of Wassatiyah (moderation) and Maqasid Syariah (well-being of the people) that affirm justice, compassion, mercy, equity. Malaysia is to be led by rule of law, good governance, respect for human rights and upholding the institution of the country.

I have a dream; I dream of a day where we can harvest the best of every race/ethnicity to build a truly progressive and just society where the prosperity of the nation can be enjoyed together in a fair and equitable manner.

I have a dream; I dream of a day that our children and grandchildren when looking back on 9th May 2018 can say proudly, our parents and grandparents had showed exceptional courage and braveness to turn the tide of oppression and regression to liberty and progression by voting out BN at its critical/pivotal moment when the nation need them the most.

I have a dream; I dream of a day this nation of ours will rise up and live up the true meaning as proclaim by our Nation Founder Father Tunku Abdul Rahman at Independent day and Malaysia day: “forever a sovereign democratic and independent State founded upon the principles of liberty and justice and ever seeking the welfare and happiness of its people / ever seeking to defend and uphold peace and harmony among its people.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayan_Declaration_of_Independence#The_document
Malayan Declaration of Independence was officially proclaimed on 31 August 1957.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proclamation_of_Malaysia
Proclamation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963.

I have a dream; I dream of a day that my dream is Malaysia’s Dream/Malaysian Dream and Malaysians will and shall reclaim and rebuild our beloved Malaysia to its glorious day.

This is Malaysian dream, this is Malaysian hope, this is Malaysian faith and with this hope and faith, I call upon every Malaysians irrespective of Race, Religion and Region shall now make real our dream and the promises of democracy, liberty and justice. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of racial divide, oppression and injustice to the sunlit path of racial unity, liberty and justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand of divide and rule to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make democracy, justice and liberty a reality for all of Malaysian’s children. Now is the time to show our exceptional courage and braveness to vote out the corrupted MO1 & BN’s decadent, kleptocratic Government and embrace our new hope and faith in PH. Now is the time we vote for PH in GE14. PH is our best hope to reform and rebuild our country, and set it on a course towards unity, justice and prosperity.

Pakatan manifesto offers hope for real reform.

Will I wake up on the early morning of 10th May 2018 with a broken heart that’s barely beating? Or will we wake up with joy, knowing that we have taken the crucial and important step to make Malaysian dream come true?
The choice is in MALAYSIANS hand. Please make our MALAYSIAN DREAM come true. It’s either now or never. I thank all from the bottom of my heart.”

I cry for my beloved Malaysia.

Thank you

Yours truly

SS LEE
