LETTER | Reforms must include fundamental freedom under the constitution so that all races will feel a sense of pride and belonging.
| We, the members of G25, join other organisations in civil society to express our deep disappointment and frustration at the way the recent political process has been working in Malaysia, to bring about a change of government.
This, unfortunately, did not happen here in Malaysia. Instead, the 7th prime minister who was elected by the people suddenly resigned on his own initiative, taking down with him, the whole Cabinet and causing so much uncertainty and anxiety in the country. This is because he did not name his successor.We hope that the usual parliamentary practice will be allowed to operate in order to determine the legitimacy of the new Prime Minister’s appointment by the Yang di Pertuan Agong.
The people feel betrayed by our politicians. It is the people who voted the Pakatan Harapan government into power during the previous general election on the strength of the reform manifesto. We condemn these power-hungry politicians as they have clearly shown they only care about their own self-interests, without any sense of duty to fulfil the promises of reforms that they made when they were campaigning for votes from the people.
We in G25 also hope that the print and electronic media will continue to be open and easily accessible. We need them to be persons of integrity so that they can protect the interests of the nation and the people. We should have a civil service and governmental institutions that are honest, courageous and independent of political influence so that they can become pillars of strength and hope in good and bad times.
