Dr M is a more credible adviser because he had access to that data. So listen listen listen.

Also saves us the time reading your meaningless advise as we are all Malaysians - the ones you label as moderates.

He has proven to us in the past to be silent and flipping n flopping here n there to fit the occasion. How did I conclude this? In the letter by his lawyers to Tony - it states "our client (Najib) being the chairman of the board of advisors of 1MDB only renders advice to the board which is tasked with the management and operation of 1MDB". He's just an advisor - not a decision maker - powerless chairmen - a joke.

Sadly, not everyone is logical in Malaysia. What is used instead to remain in power is by manipulation of emotions. It's easy to use emotions to sway others (extremism). On the other hand, it is much harder to use logic and facts to convince others but we should not give up. T.K.Chua is an example of one Malaysian who did not.

Opposition politicians are elected representative of their respective constituencies. Are you trying to call a majority of those people traitors? I can't help but question his claims with pure logic - I bet the other delegates were cheering him on when those words were uttered - typical herd mentality.

If one do not commit to understand a religion, that person is not qualified to question it. UMNO is just a political party, free to be scrutinised, questioned and disliked by anyone with voting rights.

Also, stop using the "we need to protect peace n harmony because our society is multicultural, multireligion, unique etc". Just go abroad and see for yourself the changes happening in many nations around the globe. So many is made up of many races, culture, believes and background. They all share similar struggles as Malaysia and yet they don't need no sedition act. In Malaysia, the perception is sedition is used to silence activist and opposition politician. If you want to work hard, you can try changing my perception.

If anyone can be tasked to improve the tarnished image of UM by the 1 Vice Chancellor and its puppeteers - it is the other 39,999 odd students and staff (OKAY, I'm being overly optimistic stating that there's only 1 bad egg in the basket).
