In response to the recent remarks made by Dato’ Sri Tiong King Sing, the Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, regarding the leadership of Malaysia, Dato’ G Kumaar Aamaan, a prominent activist and journalist, has voiced his concerns about the current government’s performance and the struggles faced by the Malaysian people. He argued that while the government may claim stability, the reality for ordinary Malaysians is far from it.
“Malaysians are really struggling. The government’s claims of stability are not reflected in the daily lives of the people. While it’s easy for YB to speak from a position of power, the pressure on the common people is overwhelming. How much longer can they tolerate this?” Dato’ G Kumaar said, pointing out that the economic hardship and political uncertainty have taken a toll on the citizens.
He also raised the example of the Canadian Prime Minister’s resignation, calling it a moment of pride and responsibility in leadership. “If a leader in a developed country like Canada can step down when things go wrong, why can’t Malaysia’s Prime Minister do the same? The people are asking for change,” he added.
Furthermore, Dato’ G Kumaar expressed strong disagreement with the government’s stance on leadership change without following the democratic process. He acknowledged the importance of stability but stressed that stability should not come at the cost of ignoring the people’s hardships.
“While I understand the need for political stability, it cannot be at the expense of the people’s suffering. The leadership must be accountable. If the government is failing to meet the needs of the people, then change is necessary,” he said.
He continued by emphasizing that the leadership must focus on the real needs of the nation, which include addressing economic challenges, reducing unemployment, and tackling the rising cost of living. “The people are not asking for political instability; they are asking for a government that delivers on its promises.”
Dato’ G Kumaar also highlighted the importance of allowing the citizens to have their say in the democratic process. He reminded the public that leadership change should happen through elections, not through attempts to destabilize the country. “When the time comes for general elections, let the people decide whether the leadership should change or not. That’s the essence of democracy,” he concluded.
He urged all political parties to come together and focus on solutions rather than political maneuvers. “Let’s put the nation’s interest first, and work towards real solutions for the rakyat,” Dato’ G Kumaar Aamaan added.
