When the time came for this general election, I had to make a choice: was I going to be one of those people who complain about the government all the time and still not do anything, or was I going to be someone who would stand up and DO something?
I decided to do something. That is why I wanted to stand for this seat. I am grateful to the PKR leadership for having faith in me & allowing me to have this opportunity to represent the people even though I am a "fresh face" in politics.
People often say that politics is dirty. But I believe that if my heart is clean and my intentions are noble, then staying away just because politics is "dirty" would make me an irresponsible citizen. Why? Because I know that someone without the knowledge and experience of "dirty politics" but has integrity would make a far better leader than someone with decades of "dirty politics" experience, and NO integrity.
The issues that concern me most is that of poverty, and rising prices of goods. Not everyone is born wealthy; I myself am a working man with a family to support. That is why I can relate to the problems and difficulties faced by the people in KK now, especially Luyang. With rising oil & gas prices, all the other prices also rise. And yet our income has not risen to "match" this problem. I am worried that if this present government is allowed to continue, then what will happen to me, my family, my neighbours, friends and fellow residents in Luyang AFTER the election is over? Will we have to wait another 5 years for the change?
I urge you, Luyang voters, to stand up and be courageous this General Election. You have very few chances in life to make a difference on this scale. I may not have years of experience in politics; but I am one of you. And at least, I am not corrupt. Don't wait until it is too late. Don't split your opposition votes because that would result in a victory for BN anyway.
Keadilan is the only opposition party with the best potential of making a difference in Sabah. If you love your state, your country & your children, please support me with your votes so that I can help you make a difference.
You must also unite your votes & fully support CHRISTINA LIEW as MP for Kota Kinabalu under PKR & as ADUN for Api-Api. Vote for someone who genuinely cares for the people and who has been sacrificing all these years serving them. She can help you.
God-willing, we can make a difference this March 8th!
Salam REFORMASI. It is TIME for CHANGE.
