Manifesto priorities on my mind


If GE15 sees the entry of a Third Force, what should it promise to do? Malaysians must make themselves heard on the changes they want.

THERE is a clarion call for a Third Force to contest in the 15th General Election and I find myself musing over what should be in its manifesto.

I wrote this article NOT as a manifesto but as a nudge towards one that would paint our hopes and dreams of a truly New Malaysia. Our old-new Malaysia is being hijacked by the same forces we were fighting against, and helping them are traitors whom we voted into office.
