New political culture needed to replace Umno’s ‘politics of fear’ – Nurul Izzah

Nurul Izzah Anwar, the PKR (Parti Keadilan Rakyat) Member of Parliament of Lembah Pantai said that there is now a need for a new political culture to take the place of Umno’s tactic in ‘politics of fear’ in trying to maintain its power in the country and that ‘political contract’ which the Federal Constitution stipulates which considers the rights of all races in the country is urgently needed if the country is to move forward.

She said “At this present time the politics of fear, which includes threats of a civil war and chaos by Perkasa and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed, is being used to defend Umno’s political interests and not the political rights of the Malays. The biggest lie in the fight for Malay rights is the assertion Umno is inseparable from the Malays and Malays are inseparable from Umno. What this country needs instead is the politics of hope and liberation to ensure fairness for all. The true future for not only Malays but also the whole of Malaysia lies in a cohesive political contract. This contract is an agreement which involves all citizens to achieve a common goal based on rules of the Federal Constitution. Political power without a political contract is akin to a game of football without rules or police enforcement without referring to proper laws,”

This country can go no way without the full participation of all races. What make anyone think that the Malays alone can run this nation and compete with the rest of the world ? Thats the reality the Malays must acknowledge . Thats the truth the leaders must accept. Theres nothing shameful nor making the Malays any less respected. Given a few more years and if nothing is done about it, Malaysia will be a failed state,no doubth about it !!!
