MP SPEAKS | 'If I had a chance to speak to each and everyone of you, I would ask that you do not lose hope.'
As a teenager, I worked with civil society organisations to help organise workers, empower the poor and expand the democratic space in the country.
But we, a democratically-elected government, have been overthrown by unprincipled politicians with no morals.We were stabbed in the back by leaders who valued power more than the welfare of this country or its people. Even before becoming a lawmaker I had worked on anti-privatisation issues and took a class action suit, compelling the then Umno-led government to make public the concession agreement and audit report of water utility Syabas. The fight lasted seven years.
It's no secret to say that, during Umno's rule, the focus was on Malay hegemony. It was about consolidating Malay power and squashing legitimate dissent, which was largely seen as anti-Malay establishment. DAP was however constantly used as the bogeyman, caricatured as a threat to Malay rule and effective persuasion demonised it further.Special Select Committees were formed to allow lawmakers to play bigger and more effective roles.
