Time for the King to act against Dr M, 'Malaysia’s No.1 public enemy'
KUALA LUMPUR, July 3, 2023: The Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, prior to forming the current Unity Government (UG) in November (2022), had an idea for a song of unity.
His Majesty asked veteran singer-songwriter DJ Dave to compose a patriotic song like the 36-year-old classic “Setia” (loyal or loyalty) that had soared like a second national anthem.
Dave said he was told to compose a song that encouraged people to abandon inequality and embrace each other as one.
The King was that worried and concerned in August for the future of Malaysians (his subjects) and Malaysia prior to the 15th General Election (GE15).
As the King, he has no political ambitions but for the welfare of his subjects and country - knowing very well that political stability, national unity and harmony are prerequisites of a healthy and prosperous country.
His worry and concerned were with basis and wisdom when GE15 concluded with a hung 222-seat Parliament with the Taliban-like PAS winning 49 seats, DAP 40, PKR 31, Umno 26, Bersatu 25 and PBB 14.

Malaysia was saved from a possible Taliban-like rule when the King managed to get Anwar Ibrahim’s PKR, DAP, Umno and, the Sarawak and Sabah political blocks to form a UG.
Today, Dr M - whole governed Malaysia for a total of 26 years as prime minister - is an ungrateful Malaysian, taking the lead to spew racial and religious venom to help PAS and PN win in the six state elections and in the next GE.
A concerned Malaysian Adnan D has penned a letter, published by online news portal Free Malaysia Today, for the UG to put an end to Dr M’s venom and lies.
No News Is Bad News appeals to the King to take the lead to end the racial and religious venom spewed by politicians on both sides of the political divide by making an example of the “ungrateful to the nation” Dr M.
Start with stripping Dr M of all his federal awards/titles:
Put an end to Dr M’s venom and lies
Action should be taken against the former prime minister over his incendiary statements which stab decency in the back.
Letter to the Editor - 03 Jul 2023, 10:20pm
From Adnan D
I read Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s latest tweets and watched the former prime minister’s recent press conferences. Why on earth does he talk with so much hatred and lies? It is unbelievable.
Who told him people want the name of Malaysia changed? Or that the “other races“ wanted to take over? Please give us evidence.
A bigger question is why do the Malaysian media give a platform for a “has been” politician to spew venom when he should have retired. Why encourage such hatred and bigotry when it’s obvious he is dying for attention?
Action should be taken against Mahathir. He should be banned from making public statements. His passport should be taken away. Enough is enough, lest he destroys Malaysia.
I suppose the current government is concerned about taking to court a man who is nearly 100 years old. He could end up in jail and be turned into a martyr.
But we should not let age be a deciding factor. If someone spews venom, it has to be dealt with.
You cannot let Mahathir and Abdul Hadi Awang for that matter – who has been blaming non-Muslims for various things – to keep stabbing decency and civility in the back.
The government must not tolerate such behaviour on account of their age.
Why put at risk the happiness of over 30 million peace-loving Malaysians just to “save face” of two politicians?
If this is not insanity, I don’t know what is.

The King, DJ Dave, and a song of unity
The Yang di-Pertuan Agong desired a song for people to embrace each other as one, and the veteran singer delivered a memorable melody.

KUALA LUMPUR: Months before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah formed the unity government, and installed the prime minister, he had an idea for a song of unity.
Last August, the King asked veteran singer-songwriter DJ Dave to compose a patriotic song like the 36-year-old classic “Setia” (loyal or loyalty) that had soared like a second national anthem.
Dave said he was told to compose a song that encouraged people to abandon inequality and embrace each other as one.
He said: “The Agong stressed that loyalty made unity possible, and that it will only happen if we are aware that one people and one nation means we rise together as a people.
“Tuanku wanted the song to be first sung in Bahasa Melayu, followed by the singers, representing every major ethnic group, singing in their own dialect,” he said.
Dave said the King’s call for a song about harmony and stability came long before the unity government was formed, and marked the start of the making of “Setia Perpaduan” (loyal unity).
The upbeat “Setia Perpaduan” eventually became the theme song of the national unity week celebration, launched by Sultan Abdullah in Kuching last month.
It was composed by Dave, with lyrics by national laureate Professor Lim Swee Tin and musical arrangement by S Atan.
