After 67 years of independence and living through the massive progress we made from an underdeveloped nation to a nearly developed nation, I just have one wish for Malaysia.

I wish our MPs would start conducting themselves according to the federal constitution!

Since the infamous 2020 Sheraton Moves, we have had three administrations whose legitimacy, and hence, constitutionality were questioned because they were formed without proof of majority. All the political instability that the people have been subjected to since then is because our MPs, either out of ignorance or political expediency, failed to act according to the constitution.

The people would have been spared the stress of being subjected to a government whose legitimacy remains in question if MPs had acted according to the constitution and the principles of democracy. If they don’t know what is expected of them under the constitution, then they should study the constitution and demonstrate to the people that they are able to make decisions within the ambit of the constitution.

The first duty of MPs is to form a legitimate, constitutional government because that is the basis of political stability.

If our MPs can only indulge in politicking and can not find the will nor courage to form a constitutionally correct, elected government of the people, then they are not fit to be MPs, and definitely should not be in government.

Our MPs should know what to do. If, after 67 years of development, they don’t, it is best they step down from government and facilitate the formation of a legitimate and constitutional government.

That’s my Merdeka wish.
