Will Anwar Be One Of Longest Serving Prime Ministers

---

The results of the Makhota by-election in Kluang on Saturday, following the victory of the unity government in Nenggiri by-election in Kelantan, signifies three things:
First, Malaysians want stability as nobody benefits from a chaotic and unstable Malaysia - with no investor, particularly a foreign investor, wanting to invest in such a country.
Secondly, there is only one result for a chaotic and unstable Malaysia - a failed state. It is not the road for Malaysia to rise again to become a world-class nation.
Thirdly, the end of the “Green Wave”, where extremism, hatred, lies, misinformation and disinformation ruled the day.
In the past six years, Malaysia has had five prime ministers. As of today, the 10th prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, has outlasted three of them - Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Muhyiddin Yassin and Dr Mahathir Mohamad in his second tenure as prime minister.
The next two or three years will be crucial for Malaysia. It will decide whether Anwar will be one of the three longest-serving prime ministers in Malaysian history.
The acid test in the next two or three years will be whether Anwar will live up to his recent quote: “Wo Men Dou Shi Yi Jia Ren” - “Malay, Chinese, Indian, Dayak, or Kadazan, we are all one family.”
Civilisational dialogue and harmony
If Malaysia is to rise again to become a great world-class nation, we must go back to the Federal Constitution and Rukun Negara, which emphasise that Malaysia is a plural society and the importance of “unity in diversity”.
Malaysia has nearly become world-known as a kleptocratic state. We want to be world-famous for our unity and harmony of various races and cultures and the success we can achieve.
We want Malaysia to be able to contribute to the world, and one area in which we are eminently qualified to contribute is to promote global civilisational dialogue and harmony.
Malaysia is home to Islam, Confucianism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Taoism, Sikhism and other civilisations.
We can and must contribute to a new phase of humanity, where all men and women develop national and global mindsets. - Mkini
