Wan Azizah's statement on her resignation as Permatang Pauh MP - Sun

Aug 1, 2008

AFTER deliberating with my family, the Keadilan party leadership and our partners in the Pakatan Rakyat, I have officially submitted my resignation as Member of Parliament of Permatang Pauh to the Speaker of Parliament YB Tan Sri Datuk Pandikar Amin Bin Hj. Mulia today to make way for my husband, Anwar Ibrahim, to contest as a candidate for Pakatan Rakyat in a by-election as soon as possible.

This is consistent with our goals towards securing a Parliamentary majority and forming a new government within this year. This decision is the right decision for Malaysia.

The nation now faces some of the greatest challenges it has encountered since gaining independence.

The Umno-led Barisan Nasional government has mismanaged the economy and steered the nation towards a catastrophe. It has allowed the integrity of the justice system to fall into deeper infamy.

It has stroked the flames of racism and driven a wedge of mistrust between Malays, Chinese and Indians, while thoroughly neglecting the needs of the indigenous peoples of Sabah and Sarawak.

Anwar Ibrahim has articulated a vision for Malaysia that has brought hope to the people. He has the experience and intelligence to reinvigorate our economy, and the charisma and integrity to unite the Malaysian people and restore credibility to our institutions of governance.

I will continue to serve as president of Parti Keadilan Rakyat and as chairperson of the Yayasan Aman (Peace Foundation).

I whole-heartedly thank my supporters in Permatang Pauh who have stood by me in the most difficult of times since September 1998 and have shared in the joy of victory we all experienced on March 8th.

The future of our nation lies in the dedication and commitment to justice and freedom that I have experienced as your representative in Parliament and I look forward to many more years of serving you with sincerity and with humility.

DATUK SERI WAN AZIZAH WAN ISMAIL
President
Parti Keadilan Rakyat

Assalamualaikum Readers,

A standing ovation for Dato Seri wan Azizah for her sincere loving for all Malaysians. Her hard decision is very respected by all Malays and Malaysians. Allah blessed her well and let Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim to lead the country again if he wins.

Malaysians read Tun Dr M article in his comments in Che Det blog that he feel sad that after a very well attended Press Conference chaired by me as Chairman of the Kuala Lumpur Perdana Global Peace Organisation to condemn the visit of the war criminal Tony Blair.

It is a shame for Dr M to comment about other world leaders like Bush, Blair and their allies because Malaysia economy and financial still depend on the super power countries like US, UK, Europe, Australia and Western countries. The issue of world problems were due to uncomplete conflicts in Middle East for past centuries since Nabi Muhammad s.w.t and Jesus Christ A.D. So it is pointless for Dr M to open his big mouth again critizising the Western powerful countries. His actions and words are detrimental and bad faith to our current economy and financial stabilities in Malaysia.

We hope Dr M should ceased to comments and talks bad about Blair, Bush and their allies in view that the Western countries are too smart, powerful and strong for Malaysia to defend if they decided to withdraw their investments and impose economy embrago in Malaysia. Dr M is super rich to talk big but many businessmen and workers will suffer and bankrupt as a results of the Western powerful reaction. For instance, Malaysians have suffered enough during the financial crisis in 1997/98 as a result of the Western power punished Dr M past cronies, nepotism, abuse power, mismanaged and corrupt government. Soros took advantages of Dr M poor leadership to attack on RM and weakening the economy in Malaysia. The failure of Commonwealth Games 1998 was a good lesson showed how powerful UK allies influenced their western tourists to stay away from the Games. Malaysia sufferred millions of losses in holding the Games 98. Do BN government announce the actual financial affairs on the Games 98 to the Rakyat ?

Malaysians are neutral country and have good friendship with all countries regardless of their religions, creeds and cultures. Malaysians do businesses with the democratic, socialis, communist, republican, muslim and other political systems. Therefore, China and India are two major countries help out and save the Malaysia economy from the financial crisis in 1997/98 that Dr M is still silent and admit it. It is wrong for Dr M to question Blair and Bush on their decision to finish Saddam regime who invaded Kuwait and caused many muslims suffered in their own Iraq motherland. Dr M should realised that Saddam actions were against human rights and worst criminal on Iraqis. The world leaders and westerners will think Dr M continued to talk bad about Blair and Bush meant Dr M is alligned to Saddam regime crony and failed to study deeply about the true in Iraq war. Malaysians have enough Dr M bad mouth on both Blair and Bush that will create bad karmas to our nation and destroy the economy stability in Malaysia.

Malaysians pleaded Dr M to cease his big mouth and bad words on Blair and Bush. Dr M should concentrate to talk big and bad mouth on his owned UMNO Baru after UMNO Lama was destroyed by Dr M regime. It is time Dr M to lecture and teach the new breeds of UMNO baru leaders to behave gentlemen and dont be too sombong, greedy, corrupt and arrogant. 100% Malays are fed up and cried out loud against UMNO baru actions on raising prices, inflation, unemployment, crime hike and political wars among Malay leaders.

Enough is Enough ! Dr M please stop hurting Blair and Bush and their allies. It is not good and not profitable for Malaysia economy and financial affair in long term. Dr M days are numbered in term of his old age but many young Malaysians and future Malay generations will still need to work, stay and living peacefully in Malaysia. Malays and other Malaysians still need the super power nations like US and UK to invest their billions here and also China and India to buy our huge raw commodities.

Last but not least, Dr M - PLEASE SHUT UP!

All Malays and Malaysians will give 100% support to DSAI for his do or die mother of all by-elections in Permatang Pauh. Bravo Pakatan Rakyat will WIN BIG. Wassalam.

RIBUAN TERIMA KASIH
