The battle for Malaysia’s soul is more than just a numbers game in Parliament. It is about our collective future.
The Old Order (Umno), which sneaked back into power through the Sheraton coup, will not give up without a fight. This means that every one of us opposed to the Old Order (Umno) must join together to ignite a movement that will bring hope and dignity back to the nation.
