"We will hold ceramah and continuous street protests nationwide as well as intensify our explanation on the government's failure via social media so that Malaysians are aware of the importance of not choosing the (same) stupid leaders again. "We also call on Malaysians, especially young people, to be aware that every choice we make affects our future and future generations," its spokesperson Syahmi Shamsudin told the media in Kuala Lumpur today. ADS He said the secretariat will announce details of its programme including its itinerary via social media soon. The group cited the Sheraton Move, the littoral combat ship scandal, and the formation of the Independent Police Conduct Commission as some of the failures of the Ismail Sabri administration. Tolak Kerajaan Gagal spokesperson Syahmi Shamsudin "This is only part of the failure of his government which has a direct impact on millions of Malaysians. "The people have been shown a series of weaknesses and carelessness by those up there. We will embark on aggressive tours to explain to Malaysians that the one who governs now is a leader who fits the criteria of a ‘Jadong’ leader - who is evil, stupid and arrogant - as described by (scholar) Syed Hussein Al-Attas," Syahmi added. ADS The Tolak Kerajaan Gagal movement was formed by the same people behind the Turun movement, consisting of student groups and opposition youth wings.
