Dr Mahathir and UMNO fear the Great Unknown- PR's Reform Agenda

Whatever reforms or vision we have, we don’t have to explain to Dr Mahathir. We don’t have to jump when Dr Mahathir challenges us. It’s killing him and UMNO- that we don’t see the necessity to explain our policies and vision. We present it direct to the rakyat and the people in Kelantan, Kedah, Penang and Selangor know what we can do. In Perak, for 11 months, the people knew what were achievable under better Pakatan rule. So we don’t have to explain to UMNO, BN or Dr Mahathir. 

We on the other hand, already knew what he did during 22 years- plus the years before him- the Malays as he said it himself are beggars in their own country. They are like that because after 55 years, what Mahathir and UMNO wanted wasn’t liberation of Malays but bondage. After 55 years of rule, 95% of Malays are bonded to UMNO while 95% of the non-Malays enjoyed freedom from UMNO rule.

The result: we have one section of Malaysians pulling away enjoying better economic standing while another section, remains lagging behind. The cause? UMNO’s paternalistic and pseudo feudal rule.  

The basic reform that we want is to oust UMNO and BN by way of democratic means. 

During his time, he would bulldoze everything without bothering to explain to the `digits’.  The MCA or MIC bosses were silenced because Mahathir had their Income Tax Returns with him. So the MIC and MCA bosses better shut up because when we are in power, we will have access to your income tax files. Jail would be a walk in the park compared to having your accounts, your children’s accounts, your wife’s accounts, accounts belonging to your mistresses all frozen up. You will weep like children when you see PR has a different work ethics. Under UMNO and BN you can weasel your way out, make all sorts of deals. When those lkind of working ethics are eliminated under PR rule, that is what is bothering Dr Mahathir and the rest of the usual suspects. 

It is sufficient for everyone to know that Dr Mahathir fears the changes PR will make. First and foremost the destruction of the myth that the future and destiny of Malays depend on UMNO. Second, Dr Mahathir’s legacy laying waste to our full potential will be made bare for everyone to know and consequently judge. 3^rd, he fears that people will soon realize that there is not only life post UMNO, but there is a BETTER life after UMNO. 

There are so many things we want to do. To make PETRONAS answerable to parliament for example. To review all the lopsided agreements that PETRONAS may have made, all the crazy take it or pay agreements between TNB and IPPs and between PETRONAS and its contractors. To review all the contracts with toll collectors. Reform of the legal structure of this country. Assessment of the way tenders are given out. To examine the financial conduct of UMNO and BN government. So many of them. 

When PR wins, the rule of law will be upheld. Security will be strengthened. PR has suffered losses before and accepted defeat gracefully. No, on the contrary, the police and the army must be on standby when UMNO/BN loses. It is they who don’t know how to handle defeat.
