UMNO is not the enemy. Abuse of power and corruption is. PAS is not the enemy. Imposing your religious beliefs on others and denying them their right to their own religion is. And so on and so forth. So don’t oppose them for their ideology. Oppose them when they violate your fundamental human rights and civil liberties. Oppose them when they ruin this country. Oppose them when they persecute and discriminate. And so on and so forth.
No, our mission should not be to see the destruction of Barisan Nasional. Our mission should be to see the strengthening of Pakatan Rakyat and the emergence of a two-party system in Malaysia. Let these two parties be matching in strength. We do not want to remove one dictator just to replace it with another. We want to see two equally capable parties so that we can rotate the government between one and the other every two terms or so.

"The results of the recent general elections have shown that the Malaysian public has reached a level of political awareness and maturity that is unprecedented in our history"
". It also points to an increasingly urbanised, well-connected, better-informed and more politically-conscious electorate that will not be satisfied with empty slogans of a more ‘moderate’ Islam and theme parks with crystal mosques. Why, even in the ranks of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) there are more and more progressive voices who are calling for real economic and structural reform, and contemplating the possibility of creating a new social contract based on a welfare state model for all Malaysians"

While everyone knows Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj as the guy who finally toppled Samy Vellu in his Sg Siput bastion, few are aware that his victory owes a lot to his wife and campaign manager, Rani Rasiah, a PSM central committee member, who played an instrumental role in the campaign. Of course, they couldn’t have done it without the help of a multi-ethnic team of dedicated volunteers from all around the country. A tale of sheer grit and perseverance
