PSM berprotes bantah tol di Semenyih

PSM berprotes bantah tol di Semenyih

SEMENYIH, SELANGOR – 20 FEBRUARI 2019: Pemuda Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) telah mengadakan satu aksi protes pada hari ini untuk menuntut supaya salah satu tol lebuhraya di kawasan Semenyih dimansuhkan bagi meringankan beban rakyat Semenyih. Para peserta protes berhimpun di hadapan plaza tol Semenyih yang terletak di Lebuhraya Kajang-Seremban (LEKAS). Mereka memegang plakad yang tertulis tuntutan untuk memansuhkan tol dan meningkatkan perkhidmatan pengangkutan awam.

Turut hadir dalam aksi protes ini ialah Nik Aziz Afiq (calon PSM untuk PRK Semenyih) dan S. Arutchelvan (Ahli Jawatankuasa Pusat PSM).

Menurut S. Arutchelvan, Pakatan Harapan pernah menjanjikan untuk memansuhkan tol, tetapi gagal menunaikan janjinya. “Kami di sini mengingatkan pada mereka (Pakatan Harapan) supaya menunaikan janji mereka kerana nampaknya mereka telah mudah melupakannya.”

Dalam Manifesto PSM untuk PRK Semenyih, salah satu isu utama yang diperjuangkan ialah menolak tol yang membebankan rakyat di samping menuntut penambahan perkhidmatan pengangkutan awam di kawasan Semenyih.

Kebanyakan penduduk di Semenyih bekerja di luar kawasan Semenyih. terutamanya di Kuala Lumpur dan Putrajaya. Namun, sebaik keluar dari Semenyih sahaja, pengguna jalanraya terpaksa membayar tol demi tol. Ini memang sesuatu yang membebankan untuk golongan pekerja yang berulang-alik dari rumah ke tempat kerja setiap hari. Oleh yang demikian, PSM bertekad untuk mendesak supaya tol dimansuhkan di sama ada di Silk highway, LEKAS Kajang Batu 3 atau Plus Putra Mahkota.

PSM juga menyeru supaya memulihkan perkhidmatan bas dari Semenyih ke Seremban, Beranang ke Putrajaya, dan Bukit Mahkota/Sri Putra ke Kajang, di samping mendesak penyediaan bas perantara MRT supaya dapat dinikmati oleh penduduk Semenyih dan Beranang.

Semenyih sedang mengalami pembangunan yang pesat dan pertambahan penduduk yang semakin ramai, namun, kekurangan sistem pengangkutan awam telah memaksa penduduk-penduduk di Semenyih terpaksa bergantung pada kenderaan persendirian. PSM telah mencadangkan supaya pengangkutan awam seperti Komuter dan MRT dibina di kawasan Semenyih supaya menyenangkan penduduk di sini untuk beredar dari satu tempat ke tempat yang lain. Kerajaan juga perlu memastikan supaya perkhidmatan bas yang berkesan dan memuaskan dapat disediakan di kawasan Semenyih ini.

SEMENYIH: Being branded one of the “underdogs” in the four-cornered Semenyih by-election does not faze Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) candidate Nik Aziz Afiq Abdul (pic).

With an easy smile and calm demeanour, the first-time candidate said it may be to his advantage to be the fresh face in a battle among political giants such as Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional.

The 25-year-old, who owns and runs a reflexology centre, believes his youthfulness would appeal to Semenyih voters.

“PSM felt that it needed to put forward a young candidate because it sees that the youth have not been given enough of a role in politics,” he said.

Acknowledging that Pakatan and Barisan are popular, Nik Aziz said the two coalitions are “burdened with a lot of baggage”.

“When the rakyat see Barisan, they are reminded of the tales of corruption and 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB)

“With Pakatan, there is dissatisfaction. People voted out Barisan, but one by one, former Umno MPs are entering Bersatu,” he said.

Nik Aziz added that PSM has a track record of over 20 years, and has held fast to its principles.

The party is able to provide an alternative voice to voters in Semenyih, he said, and they are targeting voters who are non-partisan and want to remain on the fence.

As for independent candidate Kuan Chee Heng or Uncle Kentang, Nik Aziz noted that most of the social activist’s projects are based in Puchong and not in Semenyih.

Nik Aziz, who has been with PSM for four years, has been assisting the party’s previous Semenyih conten­der S. Arutchelvan on the ground.

He said one of the cases PSM resolved was over the Dunedin Estate in Semenyih where they worked with the state government to provide evicted plantation workers with free landed property.

PSM had been lobbying for the workers’ rights for over 20 years, and the move finally benefitted 22 families.

He added that the case proved that he would have no issues working with a state government that he is not politically aligned to.

Top of Nik Aziz’s priorities is to reduce the gap between elected representatives and the people, and to instil the mindset that democratic processes do not just take place during elections.

“The rakyat is not involved in making decisions. The elected representative should unite the people and respect them. He is not their master and should work for the people,” he said.

SEMENYIH: Although it is known as “the party that always loses”, PSM is hoping for a change in fortunes when voters in Semenyih head to the polling stations in the by-election for the state constituency on March 2.

PSM committee member S Arulchelvan said the party’s challenges, despite its work with the hardcore poor and those from the bottom 40 income group, were due to “election propaganda”, not public rejection of its socialist, left-wing agenda.

“The public is told that PSM won’t win, and that we are here to split the popular vote – even though we’ve been here for many years already – and that we are the party that always loses,” he told FMT on the sidelines of PSM’s campaign trail for the by-election here.

But Arulchelvan, better known as Arul, said PSM had only lost its deposit for Semenyih in last year’s general election, not in the two previous elections when he contested as its candidate.

“We lost our deposit last year because of the huge wave for Pakatan Harapan.

“This was good because it was a chance to change the government,” he said, adding however that the tide had now changed.

He said there was strong discontent among Chinese voters, especially those who were upset with some of PPBM’s recent decisions including the move to accept ex-Umno leaders into the party.

He claimed there were similar sentiments among PAS supporters in Semenyih following Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s recent statement on the party’s collaboration with Umno in the by-election.

Ever since Mahathir said that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang had told him the Islamist party would not back Umno in Semenyih, he said, PAS supporters had “gone missing”.

“I have not noticed any PAS machinery physically present on the ground. I don’t see them anywhere,” he said.

For PSM, he said, the by-election was an opportunity to step up and prove that it is not about “shameless politics”.

He added that PSM had never closed a service centre in any constituency where it had lost.

“I think what we are looking at now is a lot of young people who are beginning to reject this and understand what socialism, capitalism and things like that are. They also appreciate our volunteerism,” he said.

PSM’s candidate for Semenyih, Nik Aziz Afiq Abdul, got involved with the party around four years ago. His father was formerly the Selangor PAS election director and state party secretary.

Arul, who has been campaigning with the party and Nik Aziz, said they had received a warm welcome in Semenyih so far.

Come polling day, he hopes the sentiments translate into votes for PSM as well.

He said there was a need for more checks and balances by opposition assemblymen in Selangor.

He added that it was his duty to raise the alarm about government decisions.

“We will raise issues of local, state and national interests. It’s not just making empty promises and disregarding issues of national impact.

“We’ll be raising these issues throughout our campaign,” he said.

And if PSM loses?

“Not an issue at all,” he told FMT. “After that, don’t forget we’ll still be on the ground.”

 

PSM: Skim mySalam hanya untungkan syarikat insurans, bukan rakyat

PSM: Skim mySalam hanya untungkan syarikat insurans, bukan rakyat

PRK SEMENYIH | Pelaksanaan skim insurans kesihatan mySalam oleh kerajaan Pakatan Harapan (PH) hanya memberi manfaat kepada sebuah syarikat insurans swasta, bukannya rakyat, kata anggota jawatankuasa pusat Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj.

MySalam, atau Skim Perlindungan Nasional B40 (berpendapatan rendah), diumumkan Menteri Kewangan Lim Guan Eng ketika pembentangan Belanjawan 2019 pada November lalu.

Ia didanai oleh syarikat insurans dan takaful Great Eastern dengan sumbangan RM2 bilion.

Terdahulu, Great Eastern yang merupakan syarikat berpangkalan di Singapura dilaporkan telah dikecualikan daripada syarat Bank Negara agar syarikat insurans luar di Malaysia perlu dimiliki sebanyak 30 peratus oleh pelabur tempatan, sebagai pertukaran untuk sumbangan itu.

“Bagi Great Eastern, mereka kini tidak perlu menjual 30 peratus pegangang kepada lembaga-lembaga di Malaysia.

“Pada masa sama, mereka juga mendapat perniagaan bernilai RM2 bilion dalam masa lima tahun,” dakwanya yang juga bekas anggot parliman Sungai Siput, dalam sidang media di Kampung Sungai Sireh, Semenyih, hari ini.

Katanya lagi, sebagai syarikat insurans untuk skim itu, Great Eastern kini mendapat akses terhadap pangkalan data golongan B40, yang menurutnya terdiri daripada tiga juga keluarga.

“Siapa beri (maklumat) ini kepada mereka? Adakah ini sumbangan untuk mereka, atau satu skandal?” soalnya.

Beliau mempersoalkan keputusan kerajaan memperkenalkan skim itu yang didakwanya tanpa melalui rundingan dengan pihak yang berkepentingan.

“Jika anda fikir tak perlu berbincang dengan PSM kerana kami parti politik, tak mengapa. Tetapi bagaimana dengan Persatuan Perubatan Malaysia (MMA)?”

Jeyakumar berkata kerajaan bersikap “angkuh” dan enggan membincangkan perkara itu.

“Mereka melindungi syarikat swasta besar, bukannya menjaga kepentingan rakyat,” katanya lagi.

‘Klinik kesihatan jadi hospital’

Justeru, beliau menggesa pengundi di Semenyih agar memilih calon PSM Nik Aziz Afiq Abdul pada PRK 2 Mac ini sebagai bantahan kepada dasar PH.

“Maka kami menggesa pengundi Semenyih untuk menghantar mesej kepada PH, dengan mengurangkan undi mereka. Tolong undi Nik (Aziz) untuk tunjukkan (bantahan) kepada kerajaan,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Nik Aziz yang turut menyertai sidang media itu membangkitkan keperluan untuk menambah baik kemudahan perubatan di Semenyih dengan segera.

Katanya, klinik kesihatan Semenyih hanya memiliki lapan doktor untuk berkhidmat kepada semua penduduk di situ.

Dalam manifesto PRK, beliau mencadangkan agar klinik kesihatan dinaik taraf menjadi hospital.

HULU LANGAT 18 Feb. – Mendesak supaya projek rumah kos rendah di kembalikan semula di Semenyih merupakan perkara yang ditawarkan Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) menerusi manifesto mereka untuk Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Semenyih.

Calon PSM, Nik Aziz Afiq Abdul berkata, Semenyih telah pesat membangun dan semakin banyak perumahan baharu dibuka  namun malangnga ia ditawarkan dengan harga yang tidak masuk akal.

“Lambakan perumahan mewah dengan harga tidak masuk akal, masih tak terjual bertahun-tahun. Generasi muda di Semenyih tidak mampu untuk membeli rumah dengan harga RM300,000 ke RM600,000 ini.

“Oleh itu, sekiranya dipilih sebagai wakil rakyat dan sekali gus sebagai penggubal polisi, kami akan menggesa pihak berwajib mengawal harga rumah dengan memperketatkan syarat buat pemaju sebelum projek dimulakan,” katanya.

Nik Aziz Afiq berkata demikian dalam sidang akhbar selepas melancarkan manifesto PSM untuk PRK Semenyih di pejabat parti itu di sini hari ini.

Yang hadir sama, Ahli Jawatankuasa Pusat PSM, S. Arutchelvan.

Tambah Nik Aziz Afiq, tawaran pembangunan terancang yang berpihak kepada rakyat tempatan merupakan satu daripada tujuh perkara yang  diberikan perhatian PSM menerusi manifesto tersebut.

“Selain itu, manifesto kami turut menyentuh bagi meningkatkan kemudahan kesihatan seiring pertambahan penduduk di Semenyih serta bagi menambahkan pengangkutan awam terutamanya kemudahan bas.

“Turut terkandung dalam manifesto ini adalah mengenai pendidikan buat generasi masa hadapan, pilihan raya majlis, kampung dan taman selain memberi penekanan bagi melindungi kawasan alam sekitar dan rekreasi seperti Bukit Broga,” katanya. – UTUSAN ONLINE

Manifesto PSM untuk PRK Semenyih (Video Manifesto Disertakan)

Manifesto PSM untuk PRK Semenyih (Video Manifesto Disertakan)

SEMENYIH, SELANGOR – 18 FEBRUARI 2019: Nik Aziz Afiq, calon Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) untuk Pilihanraya Kecil (PRK) kawasan DUN Semenyih, telah membentangkan Manifesto PSM untuk PRK Semenyih dalam satu sidang akhbar khas yang diadakan pada hari ini.

Walaupun Mahathir pernah mengatakan manifesto itu bukan kitab suci, tetapi PSM amat memandang serius tentang manifesto, kerana ia merupakan janji atau komitmen yang diberikan oleh parti politik yang bertanding dalam pilihanraya untuk dinilai oleh pengundi-pengundi supaya dapat memilih tawaran politik yang dipersetujui mereka. Manifesto merupakan dokumen yang penting untuk calon atau parti politik yang ingin merayu undi supaya dipilih ke dalam dewan perundangan. Jadi, golongan politikus yang tidak memandang serius terhadap manifesto hanyalah sekadar memancing undi sokongan untuk dirinya sendiri ataupun sekutunya berkuasa.

PSM telah menggariskan 7 perkara penting yang akan diperjuangkan untuk pengundi Semenyih.

Perumahan Mampu Milik – Bukan Mampus Milik!

Generasi muda dan rakyat biasa Semenyih tidak mampu untuk membeli rumah-rumah mewah dengan harga mencecah tahap yang tidak masuk akal, iaitu RM 300,000 ke RM 600,000.

Oleh itu, PSM menggesa pihak berwajib untuk mengawal harga rumah dengan mengetatkan syarat kepada pemaju sebelum sesuatu projek dimulakan.

PSM juga menyarakan supaya diperkenalkan had kuota rumah mewah untuk satu kawasan.

PSM bertekad untuk menganjurkan satu kempen mendesak projek rumah kos rendah dikembalikan semula, setiap perumahan mesti memiliki satu fasa untuk rumah kos rendah dan sederhana.

Naiktaraf Klinik Kesihatan Semenyih ke status hospital 

Sehingga kini rakyat Semenyih tidak mempunyai hospital sendiri dan masih bergantung kepada Hospital Kajang, Hospital Serdang dan Hospital Seremban bagi mendapatkan rawatan. Namun, berlakunya kesesakan serius di Hospital Kajang, Serdang dan Seremban hingga mengambil masa begitu lama bagi mendapatkan rawatan.

Lokasi hospital sedia ada yang agak jauh menyukarkan bantuan kecemasan untuk diberikan segera. Oleh itu, PSM menuntut supaya mewujudkan pangkalan ambulans di kawasan Semenyih bagi mempercepatkan perjalanan kes kecemasan dan pengangkutan kereta percuma bagi warga emas untuk mendapatkan rawatan berkala.

Tambah pengangkutan awam – Tolak tol yang membebankan

Rata-rata penduduk Semenyih bekerja di luar kawasan Semenyih terutamanya di Kuala Lumpur dan Putrajaya. Malangnya sebaik keluar dari Semenyih, mahu tak mahu terpaksa membayar tol demi tol. Oleh yang demikian, PSM mendesak untuk pemansuhan satu tol (Silk highway / Lekas Kajang Batu 3 / Plus Putra Mahkota).

PSM menyeru supaya memulihkan perkhidmatan bas dari Semenyih ke Seremban, Beranang ke Putrajaya, dan Bukit Mahkota/Sri Putra ke Kajang, di samping mendesak penyediaan bas perantara MRT supaya dapat dinikmati oleh penduduk Semenyih dan Beranang.

SEMENYIH: The Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) candidate for the Semenyih state assembly by-election has declared his assets and hoped his three opponents will do the same.

Nik Aziz Afiq Abdul said he was single and stayed with his parents and declared that his nett asset worth was RM15,750.

Nik Aziz Afiq, who runs a masseuse business, disclosed that his assets comprised savings of RM1,000 in a local bank and a Perodua Axia car purchased in 2017.

The 25-year-old also declared that he has a RM19,250 outstanding debt with the National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN).

Meanwhile, Nik Aziz Afiq said he was willing to declare his assets every year if he won the Semenyih by-election on March 2.

“It is part of PSM’s commitment to zero tolerance for corruption and misuse of position for personal gain,” he told reporters after reading the declaration, before starting his campaign at the Semenyih morning market here, today.

Meanwhile, the community activist said he agreed to participate in a debate between the candidates to be organised by Bersih 2.0.

“On the day I was announced as PSM’s candidate, I was contacted by representatives from Bersih 2.0 asking whether I was willing to participate in a debate organised by them and on the nomination day yesterday, I received a written invitation from them (Bersih 2.0), and my answer is that I am ready to take part in the debate,” he said.

According to Nik Aziz Afiq, the debate will be held on Feb 25 at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Semenyih Campus, located about 4km from Semenyih town and it is hoped that all the candidates who are contesting will participate in the debate.

Semenyih state seat by-election will see a four-cornered fight between Nik Aziz Afiq, Pakatan Harapan’s Muhammad Aiman Zainali, Barisan Nasional’s Zakaria Hanafi and Independent candidate Kuan Chee Heng.

The by-election is being held following the death of its incumbent, Bakhtiar Mohd Nor from Bersatu representing Pakatan Harapan, on Jan 11 after a heart attack. — Bernama

Why Parti Sosialis Malaysia should lift Semenyih: A reply to Rais Hussin — Arveent Kathirtchelvan

Why Parti Sosialis Malaysia should lift Semenyih: A reply to Rais Hussin — Arveent Kathirtchelvan

Source: Malay Mail Online

JANUARY 16 — I read with some interest the recent article written by Dr Rais Hussin on the upcoming Semenyih by-election. His cleverly titled article shifts the focus on the election to be somewhat of a straight fight between Pakatan Harapan (PH) and the PAS-Barisan Nasional (BN) contingent, calling it a D-Day. He goes on to defend Pakatan Harapan as a much better political coalition than PAS-BN, pointing out the latter’s association with kleptocracy, Israel and Goldman Sachs. It intrigued me to read about how Dr Rais views the central ideology of his opponents, Islam, as something more universal and finds it to don a key role in the statecraft of Malaysia.

His analysis is sound, but his conclusion is flawed due to his affiliation with PH, since he calls on Semenyih voters to cast their ballots for PH in spite of their imperfections to reject the baiting of Malays by PAS-BN through racial and religious verbiage. I echo his call for Semenyih to be a decisive election, not only to reject racial and religious extremism, but also to reject the false dichotomy that is inherent in Malaysian politics. Semenyih should fall not to PH or PAS-BN but PSM.

How is PSM Different?

Why do I say this? Well, from the outset I must admit my affiliation with PSM being a factor, whether I consciously admit to it or not. But even before I was a supporter of the PSM, I had promoted the diversification of Malaysian politics from a two-horse race to a multi-party system. A third-force is absolutely necessary. We can see this in the lack of differences between PH and BN-PAS.

BN, when it was holding the federal government, acted in an extremely neoliberal manner. The GDP growth was over-emphasised and the real impact on common people was not taken into consideration. Do we see a difference in this mentality in PH? Well, when the human resources minister and prime minister oppose any rise in the minimum wage, listening seemingly only to the Malaysian Employers’ Federation, we do not see a change in attitude to be more pro-worker. When the health and finance ministers announced the MySalam health insurance scheme with minimal to no stakeholder engagement, we don’t see a difference in the championing of private healthcare at the expense of public healthcare. When the state government in Penang held by PH is building houses named affordable but are, in reality, out of the price range of most people in Malaysia.

All of this shows PH is cut from the same cloth as BN. Are we really voting for an alternative if we vote the former to reject the latter? Yet it is PSM which is bringing forward new ideas that balance the need to secure statecraft and take care of the welfare of the rakyat. One can read these in our policy ideas for an alternative approach to healthcare, where we slow down the growth of private healthcare to build public healthcare that treats 70 per cent of the rakyat. Or one may read our view on how to make sure Multi-National Companies that do business in the Asean region do not exploit our cheap labour, by standing together and demanding for a better share of wealth for our people collectively. Or one can refer to our multi-pronged approach to dealing with affordable housing by taking people’s first homes out of the market and emphasizing on council houses a-la the United Kingdom and many other countries around the world.

Even more important is the way candidates are chosen to run in a certain constituency. PSM makes it mandatory that any aspiring candidate is firstly chosen by the local branch, has served the people in that constituency for at least two years and promises to not use a racial narrative in campaigning. Can we say the same about both PH and BN? Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim certainly didn’t seem to have anything to do with Port Dickson and Wan Saiful Wan Jan seemed out of place in the hinterlands of Pendang, Kedah.

PSM’s strength lies in the strengthening of the rakyat. The emphasis is on removing the vulnerability of the people and uplifting Malaysians such that the lower class are not exploited by the upper class. PSM does this by organising marginalised workers, residents living in squalor due to mismanagement of their living space and the general masses to provide a strong narrative of the rakyat to the powers that be. PSM is on the ground not for race and religion, but for the people of Malaysia to articulate their grouses and take what is rightfully theirs. PSM, unlike BN or PH, rejects neoliberalism and is committed to the welfare of the rakyat as the central philosophy driving its decision-making.

On top of that, PSM is committed to the development of local candidates articulating the needs of locals in a constituency. In the Cameron Highlands by-election, one may be impressed by PAS-BN’s choice of candidate being an Orang Asli, but it is PSM who put forth an Orang Asli candidate in the Jelai State Constituency under Cameron Highlands in the last election. PSM Semenyih’s activists and leaders are people that have been working in Semenyih for decades, taking up cases forgotten by the mainstream political forces and navigating through an unequal Malaysia to uplift the marginalised classes without once capitalising on divisive racial narratives.

PSM’s Work In Semenyih

Focusing on Semenyih now, can any candidate, hand-on-heart, say they have done a similar amount of work PSM has? One only has to go to the branch itself, an unassuming first floor of a shop lot, to see the over 2,000 casef iles PSM Semenyih has solved. They are neatly arranged in hard-cased folders on a burgeoning bookshelf. In it are a variety of cases, ranging from land disputes to unlawful expulsion from work and even personal cases involving familial disputes. Even now, one can find new cases stacked-up on the table of the branch coordinator, Arutchelvam (commonly known as Arul) and notice the steady stream of people at their wits end looking up PSM Semenyih’s address as they know that if they come to this branch, they have a good chance in winning their case.

And how many cases have they won? Workers in multiple plantations have been helped to attain low-cost houses that they were promised by the plantation owners before slyly being cheated out of them. Just ask their families in Ladang Sg Rinching, Ladang Denudin and Ladang Semenyih. In Kampung Broga, 159 residents were helped to get land grants stretching for 99 years by PSM Semenyih. Workers in dispute with their employers were assisted to organise and fight for their rights in the Industrial Relations Department or the Labour Court by PSM Semenyih.

So, varied is PSM Semenyih’s repertoire that they even managed to win some land that was being used as a cemetery which was threatened to be eradicated by profit-minded developers. Are we to deny these?

What would a PSM victory in Semenyih mean for politics in Malaysia? One, it would break the hegemony of the two-party system in Malaysia which has produced governments and oppositions that are no different from each other fundamentally.

Two, it will solidify the need for a new narrative in Malaysian politics other than neoliberal policies and shift the focus to more sustainable, people-driven politics. Three, it will signal the end of parachute candidates and raise the bar across the board for all future candidates to have actually worked for a significant amount of time in a constituency. Four, it will toss the spectre of race and religion from politics completely rather than simply give it a new face with PH more and more concerned with how voters perceive them through these categories. Fifth, it will ensure the inclusion of a member of the Legislative Assembly in Selangor who not only has the people’s welfare at heart but also access to a huge wealth of experience in handling the issues of the people. The latter also ensures this member would have access to the resources necessary in building robust systems that would ensure these very problems are eradicated at the source and not just superficially.

This is why the people of Semenyih should reject PH and BN in favour of the only party putting their welfare in the forefront of its struggle. It is Parti Sosialis Malaysia who should lift Semenyih into a new narrative for national politics. Long live the people of Malaysia, long live the struggle.
