MP SPEAKS | 'We must continue to preserve our credibility through our work, programmes, initiatives and policies.'
| Much political turmoil shook us all this past week. It is now quickly descending into an unscrupulous blame game. This has to stop. Granted, the shock and outrage have not fully subsided. But it is exactly in this hour of need that we must reflect on what’s most important.
We were making headway with our methadone in mosques - psycho-socio-spiritual Jakim-approved programmes for heroin addicts. We were about to embark on our multidimensional poverty index ground survey with Malaysia’s foremost poverty expert and economist Professor Fatimah Kari. My fear is that in the ongoing political turmoil, these on the ground, these socially impactful projects, might be derailed.Regardless of who is in office, we as collective Malaysian stakeholders must join in a call to action that ensures governments, including the likes of powerful secretaries-general that wield much authority across ministries, maintain the policies and programs which have the most benefit and impact for communities on the ground.
If there is a key lesson to be learned in all of this, it is not to forget those who are so easily forgotten. Don’t sow hatred and enmity, let us instead expand and grow our tolerance of one another especially in times of division. If the government of the day is reflective of its people, then let us ensure that it is our values they truly reflect.
