Chua appeals to Johoreans to stop
BN-Umno’s greed

THE
Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN)’s insatiable greed for wealth is the reason why
Malaysia is today economically and financially inferior to Singapore.
After
55 years of uninterrupted rule, all we have are the rich and super rich BN-Umno
elites to show while the majority of rural and urban Malaysians remain poor or
trapped in the middle-income group.
Former
premier Mahathir Mohamad’s reported US$44 billion (more than RM132 billion) estimated
wealth and Sarawak chief minister Taib Mahmud and his family’s RM65 billion are
clear examples of how BN-Umno had hijacked the New Economic Policy (NEP) for
political elites and their cronies, not the majority of Malays.
The
non-Malays have also been discriminated by BN-Umno in every aspect of
socio-economic progress, as opposed to the Federal Constitution that all
Malaysians are equal.
BN-Umno
has mismanaged the country’s wealth and misled all Malaysians. That was the
reason for the 2008 political tsunami.
Unfortunately,
Johoreans continued to support Umno and MCA in the 12th General
Election to keep BN in power for another five years.
Johoreans,
especially the Chinese, must therefore rise in the coming general election to
reject BN and Chua Soi Lek’s MCA to save Malaysians and Malaysia from the
depths of socio-economic hell.
The
winds of change are blowing strongly in Sabah and Sarawak, and Johoreans must
follow suit to ensure there is political change and a brighter future for all.
Many
have asked how Pakatan Rakyat (PR) will be able to fulfill its promises like
free education for all from primary to tertiary levels and other people-centric
fiscal measures aimed at poverty eradication.
The
answer is the tens of billions of ringgit saved from leakages and corruption in
the federal administration and the prudent use of oil revenue.
