Tun M turns 93

Birthday greetings to an extra-ordinary leader

At a time when the opposition was in disarray and unable to mount any meaningful challenge against the mighty and ruthless Barisan National(BN) in the GE14 and we were losing all hopes of getting rid of a kleptocrat bleeding our nation, you were sent as though God was answering our prayers for His divine intervention. You were called a dictator and recalcitrant but today you are called the saviour of the country and the people.

At your advanced age of 93 years, it was not an easy decision to take up the task of uniting a badly divided opposition coalition and mounting a challenge to topple the BN. The fact that you accepted the challenge, humbled yourself to apologise for your mistakes and reconciled with your once fierce enemies of the past showed your patriotism and love for the country. Not many at your age would be willing to make that sacrifice and that alone makes you an extra-ordinary leader. 

The people saw the sincerity in your actions and decided to give full support to you and the new opposition coalition, Pakatan Harapan(PH). At your age, you are the most experienced and wisest to lead the nation out of the mess we are in today. There is nobody else who could match you stamina, intellect and courage to deliver the fatal blow to the BN. You not only succeed to overthrow the BN but courageously stood up to force a peaceful transfer of power that most of us thought was impossible. 

Now we know why God gave you a long life. The nation and the people still need you to lead in reforming a country that is torn apart by racial and religious intolerance, massive corruption and its economy in chaos. We need your steadfast leadership and experience a little longer to reorganise your inexperienced team to manage the nation in a democratic, professional and lawful means.

May God bless continue to bless you with good health and vitality to save us and our country and lift us up to our past glory as a dignified, united multiracial, multi-religious and progressive nation. The people of all race and creed have placed their full trust in you and they know you will not let them down.

Tun Mahathir you are our hope, our legend.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tun
