Indonesian President Joko Widodo is handing over the reins, even as his popularity remains high. During his term, Jokowi has started many economic and infrastructure projects, and raised Indonesia's international profile. At the same time, issues of inequality, corruption and tensions over Chinese investments remain. Unusually, the outgoing president appears to be quite involved in the upcoming race, with some observers seeing favour towards one candidate. Will President Jokowi play kingmaker in the choice of his successor? And will the next president pick up where Jokowi has left off, or take Indonesia in a different direction?

When will the authorities arrest Akmal Saleh, the loose cannon rabble-rouser? When will he resign as leader of Umno-Baru Youth, for failing to show leadership? He wants vengeance over 5 (five) pairs of socks worth about RM55. He said nothing about Umno-Baru leaders stealing billions of RMs.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 29, 2024: Given the present deteriorating state of national unity and harmony caused by racial and religious bigots, Malaysians and Malaysia need a savior to emerge.

Despite the fast emerging “banana” Ringgit that is further stressing Malaysia’s more than RM3 trillion (national debt + household debt) debt-ridden economy, the so-called Anwar Ibrahim-led Madani Unity Government (G) has done nothing to stop the bigotry after governing Malaysia for more than a year.

The lack of stern and concrete action has emboldened the bigots to continue stoking racial and religious sensitivities for political mileage, irrespective of the threat to national unity and harmony.

Just look at how Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh and Umno can get away with veiled threats aimed at Malaysians:

Lawyer and social activist Siti Kasim said: "I recently saw a TikTok video where he (Akmal) was seen calling the Malays to be ready. He was seen sharpening a parang ... this is something the police must act on.

"It is like he is instigating the Malays to create problems. Islam never teaches us all this," said Siti.

Racial and religious bigotry is scaring and shaking the confidence of investors, both domestic and foreign, who are thinking twice of the risks to doing business in Malaysia.

They are slowly but surely turning Malaysia into a Taliban-like state.

Why should they take the risk to invest in Malaysia when there are alternatives like Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and even Cambodia.

As socio-economic progress in Malaysia go down south, so will the Ringgit, and the rakyat dan negara (people and country)’s misery deepens.

Lee Kuan Yew and Joko Widodo a.k.a Widowi are two outstanding pragmatic leaders who have turned their countries into super socio-economic successes.

Unfortunately for Malaysians and Malaysia, after Merdeka (Independence) 1957, no political leader has emerged with the truly political will and commitment to do the right thing to turn matters around for the rakyat dan negara.

View the above video clips to find out why Malaysia needs a savior to emerge to save the rakyat dan negara.

PETALING JAYA: Perak’s Sultan Nazrin Shah has warned that racial tensions will escalate unless immediate action is taken against those responsible for throwing a Molotov cocktail at a KK Mart store in Bidor, Perak.

KK Mart has been mired in controversy since March 13 after mistakenly selling socks bearing the word “Allah”, earning the ire of Muslims and sparking calls for a boycott by Umno Youth.

On Tuesday evening, Perak police said CCTV footage from a KK Mart store in Bidor recorded a man alighting from a vehicle and throwing what appeared to be a glass bottle containing kerosene into the shop, with the police still working to track the suspect down. The Molotov cocktail failed to explode.

“His Highness has described this incident as a worrying sign. This incident requires serious attention, and firm action should be taken immediately to contain the spread of racial tensions,” said Perak palace spokesman Zahidi Zainuddin in a statement.

“His Highness believes that the majority of Malaysians are rational, moderate and prioritise harmonious relationships and peace.

“Malaysians of all races and religions will be protected equally so that they can continue to live in peace and harmony, together building and developing a safe and prosperous Malaysia.”

Perak police chief Yusri Hassan Basri previously said police were tracking down the suspect in the Bidor case, which is being investigated under Section 427 of the Penal Code for committing mischief by causing damage.

The section provides for a jail term of not less than a year and not more than five years, a fine, or both, upon conviction.

On Wednesday, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim also urged all parties to stop taking advantage of the socks controversy and called on Malaysians to work towards bolstering national unity.

Stating that the matter should be left to the authorities, he said “persistent anger brings no benefit”.

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain has also issued a stern warning against any further exacerbation of the issue.

Razarudin said investigations into the matter have concluded, with the perpetrators brought to court.

“I advise against playing up such issues. It will only bring anxiety and unrest, which is not desirable.”

On another matter, Zahidi said the Perak palace had been notified about a racially tinged statement that was issued based on a speech that Sultan Nazrin made in 2005 when he was the Perak crown prince.

Stating that the speech had been taken out of context, Zahidi said a police report had been lodged on the matter.

“It is believed that there are parties now who are encouraging racial and religious tensions … by linking (their statements) to a speech Sultan Nazrin made in 2005,” said Zahidi.

“Sultan Nazrin is concerned about such unethical acts as they can affect public peace in Malaysia.”
