“A country free from UMNO is possible. It is not beyond our reach. It needs men and women of goodwill among the faithful of all creeds; it requires a vanguard of the moderates, it demands us to stop being a silent majority and to start reflecting the courage of our conviction. We must address the underlying causes of UMNO corruption. Merely going after specific individuals, dismantling their organizations, disrupting their finances and discrediting their ideologies is far from enough. We must be able to differentiate between the symptoms and the root causes. Only then, can we achieve a lasting solution.”
“It would be too easy to say that the solution to UMNO extremism is simply for more Malaysians to speak up and to speak out. Yes, it is our responsibility, but it is not ours alone. Just as Muslims need to make their voices heard, so do the Christians, the Jews, the Buddhists, the Hindus and the Atheists who are sickened by intolerance, terror and corruption and need to make their voices heard. We need to hear the concerted voices from all Malaysians and from all walks of life. And when we do, the prize of saving this country is there for all to see.”
