Don’t get me wrong. It’s never in the Pakatan Harapan government’s wishlist to reduce the number of civil servants. At the very least, we are not dismissing any civil servant for the sake of reducing their numbers. However, 4 months into administration, I have no reservation in opining that the way forward in reforming how our government works is to make governance work. It’s true that Pakatan Harapan has been voted in as the federal government, as well as the state governmen

509选举，我们见证了马来西亚第一次的中央政权轮替。在509选举之前的十年，很多人对于“换政府”一词可能不感到陌生，但却有不少人始终对两线制抱持着半信半疑的心态。509后，当希望联盟当上了中央及多个州政府，开创了马来西亚史上第一次两线制，我们发现全国突然来了个 “入党潮”。 普遍意义上来说，如果一个政党有更多主动加入的党员，象征着该党在社会认可及影响力上获得更大的肯定。一个政党如果连号召社会人士或民众加入的能力都没有，其理念的全面性和关联性是值得加倍努力耕耘的。 但是就马来西亚的情况来说，目睹这样的一个“入党潮”，有几个点是值得我们深入思考的： 马来西亚人民经历了61年不敢加入反对党的恐惧 在国阵执政的年代，我们走到很多地方，尤其是半城乡区，我们不难看到一些住户在家里或店铺挂上国阵的旗帜或有国阵标志的产品。反之，会挂上反对党如行动党标志产品的，则是少之又少。原因很简单，对很多生意人来说，他们认为只要至少在形式上显示他们是亲政府的，他们自然也不会受到政府刁难；而亲反对党的，恐怕就会被对付。甚至，有些小本生意人还拒绝接反对党的生意，哪怕和反对党扯上了

2018年5月9日，数百万的马来西亚人民掉下了欣慰的眼泪。相信很多人和我一样，目睹马来西亚史上第一次的中央政权政党轮替时，一来总是觉得不可置信的。 不知什么时候开始，有许多人可能多少有着放弃马来西亚的念头。低就业机会、低薪金、高犯罪率、贪污腐败横行、人民福利被政治利益典当等问题，导致许多马来西亚人民不再对马来西亚有期待，也失去了想象马来西亚可以更美好的勇气。 我属于505年代的产物。505教会了我们，只要坚持到底，永不言败，任何目标都可以达到。身为希望联盟在第14届大选委派上阵的最年轻的候选人之一，我在我很多演讲中都会提及“想象的勇气”。我相信，要达到任何目标，做出任何可以带来改变的行动，我们先要有敢于想象的勇气。每一位带领着我们前进的领袖，一直都坚持着自己的理念，一直都持有着改变的勇气，千千万万的马来西亚人民才会投身于改变国家的行列，坚持想象更美好的马来西亚。 几乎所有问题都会有解决方法。就马来西亚政治而言，许多问题的解决方法的最主要元素是政治意愿。 政府先要有承认问题存在的意愿，然后有探讨问题的意愿，接下来要有解决问题的意愿，我们面对的问题才

Millions of Malaysians burst into tears in the late night of 9 May 2018. Many, including myself, couldn’t believe our eyes when we learned of the news: We are changing the federal government of Malaysia for the first time in history. There have been too many occasions in the past where I heard people were on the brink of giving up on Malaysia. When jobs were scarce, wages were suppressed, crime rates were high, corruption was condoned, and hatred was fanned, the government wa

Q: Tell us about yourself. A: I'm the Pakatan Harapan candidate for DUN Ayer Keroh (N.16). I'm 25, born and raised here in Melaka. I also work as the Political Secretary to YB Lim Kit Siang. Before I joined DAP full-time, I worked in investment banking after graduating from the University of Melbourne.

Hi, I’m Kerk Chee Yee, and I’m contesting for DUN Ayer Keroh, Melaka in this election. Many looked at me with disbelief when they learnt that someone my age (born in the 90s) is contesting. In the past, we did not have a lot of young people who were interested in politics, let alone getting involved directly by joining political parties and standing for elections. But contributing to our home is everyone’s responsibility. I consider Melaka my home as I was born and raised her

Speech by Kerk Chee Yee (Political Secretary to DAP Parliamentary Leader Lim Kit Siang) on 1 March 2018 at DAP CNY Open House at Kampung Abdullah, Segamat, Johor Three conditions that make two-coalition system probable for the first time in the history of Malaysia We will face the general election in a matter of weeks and no doubt we are facing the most important election of all time.

民主行动党国会领袖林吉祥政治秘书郭子毅于2018年3月1日在柔佛Segamat, Kampung Abdullah 新春团拜之演讲内容 马来西亚历史上第一次实现两线制的三大要素 下一届全国大选在数周内就会举行，而这一次大选是有史以来最关键的选举之一。马来西亚人民将做的决定，是足以影响马来西亚未来几十年，甚至几个世纪的一个决定，因为这一次选举是可以促成马来西亚史上第一次政党轮替，第一次实践两线制。 在很多人民用选票来决定谁当政府的民主国家里，政党轮替是常事。但是在过去的61年里，民主的马来西亚却不曾见证政党轮替。 2013年全国第13届大选，约52%的选民把票投给了当时的反对党阵营，却因不公平的选举制度和选区划分，国阵仍夺下近60%的国会议席(133 / 222) ，以47%支持率继续当政府。 人民要换政府不只是因为国阵无法当个负责任的政府和妥善管理国家，而是因为人民渴望为马来西亚民主实践两线制。人民对国家种种问题怨声四起已有一段时间，但国阵多位领袖，包括首相本人却不曾正视人民的心声。就连迫在眉睫的经济问题也一样，国阵政府为了脱罪，不断用精心筛选的

I was given the chance to speak at a DAP dinner in Triang, Pahang and that was when I first spoke about the audacity to imagine. All conscious actions start with a seed of idea and the seed of idea must be accompanied by imagination. It is then dependent on the judgement, will, and determination of the person to translate the ideas and imagination into action. Just like how it takes courage to act, it takes courage to imagine too. Occasionally I tell people jokingly that
