Reject toxic politics, embrace constructive new politics for public interest, urges DAP leader

DAP Deputy Chairman Nga Kor Ming has called for an end to "toxic politics" that relies on sentiment and perception, advocating instead for a new, constructive political approach prioritizing the interests of the people and the nation. He argued that sentiment-based politics is an outdated method unsuitable for building a multi-ethnic Malaysia.

“

Politics should be a platform for nation-building and ensuring Malaysia is respected and admired on the world stage. This country can no longer live with outdated toxic politics. We want new politics, politics that builds, not destructive outdated politics.

"Politics should be a platform for nation-building and ensuring Malaysia is respected and admired on the world stage," Nga stated. "This country can no longer live with outdated toxic politics. We want new politics, politics that builds, not destructive outdated politics."

“

New politics should be for all races, Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban, Kadazan and Dusun, because we are one family and brothers.

He stressed that new politics should encompass all ethnic groups, including Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans, Kadazans, and Dusuns, as they are all one family. Nga criticized the daily focus on perception and sentiment without actual work or service to the people, calling it destructive and something to be discarded.

“

Every day playing perception, every day playing sentiment. No need for service, no need for work, as long as playing sentiment. That is outdated politics that is destructive and we should cast it aside.

Nga also pointed to the achievements of the Perak state government under Pakatan Harapan, urging that its success be judged by facts and figures, not perception. He cited Perak's record tourism performance last year, attracting 10 million visitors, which he said demonstrates that a government focused on work and service can bring positive change.

“

Perak was previously always said to be marginalized and left behind, but last year it became the most popular state in Malaysia in terms of tourist numbers.
