On May 5th,
millions of Malaysians called out in a single voice that you wanted change.
Change from a corrupt regime of UMNO-BN that has held on to power for more than
five decades. It was a voice that was strong and clear.
You said to the
UMNO-BN leaders: Enough! Enough of corruption and abuse of power! Enough of
racism, bad governance and mismanagement of the nation’s wealth! Let Pakatan
Rakyat take over now! But they
refused. To stay in power they cheated. They want to continue to
rob from the nation. Working hand in glove with the Election Commission they
resorted to all kinds of fraud and declared themselves the winner.
By this act
of cheating they turned the brightest hour in our nation's history into its
darkest.
But last night YOU responded. Hundreds of thousands Malaysians
from all races and walks of life, young and old – came to Stadium Kelana Jaya to
show your outrage against the injustice and fraud. You showed courage and
determination. You braved the traffic jams, walked kilometres and stood in the
pouring rain because you believe your cause is a noble one.
You were
peaceful. You showed your allegiance to the Yang diPertuan Agong and sang the
national anthem with pride. You demonstrated clearly that we are a nation united
as Bangsa Malaysia. Some say that
you gathered because you cannot accept defeat. This is a gross insult and lie.
The truth is that your victory has been stolen from you. It is they who cannot
accept defeat and who have resorted to cheating to stay in power. You are on the
side of truth and truth will triumph over falsehood.
You have
every right to be outraged that your vote for change has been hijacked. You have
every right to feel hurt and insulted by the accusations of being ungrateful and
greedy just because you voted for Pakatan. Our mission is clear. We are
no longer just campaigning. We are building a movement. We will protest against
the fraud and this disgraceful act of denying the people their victory. We will
bring together all Malaysians to fight to end corruption, racism and the abuse
of power.
Help us to build momentum for this movement. Make
a contribution of RM50 today.
They are now
playing with the fire of racism and hate-mongering and trying every means
possible to intimidate you. As long as we stay united there is nothing to fear.
Together we will show the illegitimate UMNO-BN government that our voice is not
easy to silence. We will show them our resolve and the courage of our
convictions. We will not stop until justice and victory is returned to
us. If you
believe in this mission I give you my word that the Pakatan Rakyat is with you.
We will stand firmly with you all the way. We will never surrender.
Thank
you,
