Lim Kit Siang turns 75

 Tribute to a man who stood by his principles

Y.B.Lim Kit Siang turns 75 years old today. All peace-loving Malaysians pay tribute to this man who fought relentlessly over 5 decades against injustice and discrimination. He was portrayed as dictator and racist by his opponents but he stood firm and unwavering in his struggles and ideals for a better and progressive multiracial Malaysia, a nation where all citizens can find a just and fair living under the Malaysian sun.

Despite all the difficulties he was forced to endure including detention under ISA, defeats in elections and threats of being sent to jail, he did not give up but continued to rise up after each fall to fight even harder and with greater determination.

His courage to stand up against his powerful opponents is an inspiration for many, politicians and all citizens. Today at 75,when many would want to take rest, he wows to continue with his struggles to realise his dreams for a better Malaysia for all.

Kit Siang not only sacrificed much of his life for the people but to ensure continuation of his struggles brought in his own son into politics to lead the opposition in the fight for change in government. He knew very well the dangers his son will have to undergo in Malaysian politics. This is something not many fathers would want to undertake.
  

On this 75th birthday we wish him all the best, good health, peace and most of all success of his opposition coalition in the next GE.A victory in the 14GE will be our fitting tribute to the man who fought tirelessly for us his whole life but yet to realise his goals.

Happy birthday Mr.LKS

 

Tunku's 113th birthday

 February 8, 2016 is the 113^th birthday of the late Tunku Abdul Rahman, the man who gained us independence from the British and subsequently became our first Prime Minister. He was known for his ideals fir the creation of a fair, just and progressive Malaysian where people of diverse race and religion could live peacefully in unity and harmony. He may have started the process to create such a nation but failed as today we very far from a united society being highly polarized racially and religiously.

Our politicians of late have failed us miserably and today we seem to be losing all hopes of realizing the noble visions of our Bapa Merdeka. As ordinary peace-loving citizens we stand helpless as race and religion are politicized and abused openly to the maximum.  

  

As we mark the 113th birthday of this great man who led our nation to independence, let us do the little we can to regain the lost unity and goodwill which were our pride before. We can do our best to emulate his principles and ideals for the creation of a multiracial and multi-religious Malaysia -
a Malaysia where all communities can live hand in hand without hate or suspicion of each other, a Malaysia where we place the nation above communal sentiments and a Malaysia that is respected and admired the world over for our success, peace and unity.

All Malaysians, of have a sacred duty to fight racism and all its evils, by getting rid of the racist traits from our hearts and instilling the spirit of goodwill and peaceful coexistence in our children.The fight against racial cannot be won by any one community but by the concerted efforts of all.
