  • Pipeline Fires - Investigate, Identify Those Responsible and make sure THEY(not Government) pay for the damages, compensation for Victims?
  • DAP Elections - 'strong' leaders needed, who will not easily 'bow down' to the Prime Minister/Government - compromising values/principles it was once known for?
  • PN Sanusi's case - Opportunity now for Sanusi to commence legal action against Public Prosecutor for abuse of power of the Public Prosecutor? Is he BRAVE enough to do this for Public Interest?
  • Anthony Loke, Transport Minister, explain 30 Boeing Purchase, inconsistent with PH position before, and against the Palestinian cause???
  • Again, Dr Mahathirs 'outshines' Anwar Ibrahim > PM Anwar must speak out publicly against ALL unjust proposals, actions even by Trump and strong nation states? If not, RESIGN
  • Anwar Ibrahim(Finance Minister/PM), can't you see that even workers earning RM2000 monthly working for 35 years, even if no option of early withdrawals, will not be able to save RM240,000 by retirement age, or RM390,000(by2028) in their EPF accounts? Don't Avoid the Problem - Concrete solution needed.
  • Judges should REJECT 6 months extension after retirement age of 66 (save for very exceptional circumstances) - Protect SECURITY OF TENURE - an important safeguard to ensure Judicial Independence?
  • Temple-Madani Mosque issue - Should never be projected as 'victory' of one religion over another? How does the government RESPECT minority religions and DEAL WITH 'illegal' places of worship, housing, farms, etc?
  • Abolish PENSION for MP/Minister - EPF only. Abolish double income for Ministers - 1 pay, the highest pay only? Parliament has full control of funds spend on MPs - including funds for MP's work, staff, office, etc...
