Pek Moh Bukit Lanjan thanks 7,515 voters

Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff a.k.a Pek Moh Bukit Lanjan Pek Moh  Bukit Lanjan thanks 7,515 voters The euphoria of the 14th General Election (GE14) is over. With the swearing-in of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as Malaysia’s 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia on Thursday (May 10), I wish him and  Pakatan Harapan  (PH) all the best in fulfilling their electoral promises and reforming federal and state government administrations nationwide. I also congratulate Elizabeth Wong for successfully defending Bukit Lanjan for a third-term. I hope she will serve her constituents well - rid the townships of dengue, rodents and solve the garbage disposal problems  and all other matters that a conscientious assemblyman needs to do to make Bukit Lanjan a better place for for all before GE15. I, particularly, wish to thank all the 7,515 Bukit Lanjan constituents who gave me their ballots on polling day. I cannot possibly know who you are but I sincerely thank you for giving me you...

Elections will change nothing if we do NOT look at the candidates we elect

Elections will change nothing if we do NOT look at the candidates we elect Blog content found in Pek Moh’s e-mail box I have a very important question to ask everyone. It’s not a trick question, and I’m asking it as a Malaysian to another fellow Malaysian. WHO IS THE BOSS – YOU, THE VOTER OR THE YB? As you all know, some of you do comment on this blog’s posts. Recently, I read a comment that made me think deeply. The comment was this: It’s the same everywhere, some things never change. The comment was made in reference to a local rubbish problem. What struck me the most is the utter disappointment and that we should just accept the rubbish, just because it’s the same everywhere. I don’t think we would do nothing if there is rubbish around our area. We might complain, we might end up clearing the rubbish elsewhere, but I certainly think we shouldn’t give up just like that. No matter how hard an obstacle, we must always try our best to overcome it. Not everything...

On the way to cast your ballots, remember the ancient Greeks who introduced democracy to civil society

Vote wisely with a level head, not with emotions! On the way to cast your ballots, remember the ancient Greeks who introduced democracy to civil society https://youtu.be/mFpiyVcnR2c  (Remember the Greeks who introduced democracy to civil society ... they classified three types of people in societies ... idiots, tribe people and citizens) As Malaysians go to the pools to cast their ballots tomorrow (May 9), they will possibly be deciding for the future of Malaysia. Make or break, they must seriously think extremely hard to identify and decide who they think are the honest and sincere candidates (not political party or coalition) who are committed to serving the  rakyat  (people). They must elect a clear majority of lawmakers who know no fear or favour and they can be found on both sides of the political divide. View the above video clip about the ancient Greeks, who introduced democracy to civil society, classifying societies into three types of people - ...

Don’t vote based on emotions and vote away your future

Your vote is secret, don't vote emotionally, elect a trustworthy assemblyman Don’t vote based on emotions and vote away your future After six decades of Merdeka (Independence), Malaysians are at a political crossroad to determine theirs and Malaysia’s future. In this 14th General Election (GE14), the future of our children and generations to come are also at stake. “There is no doubt that the political power is in the hands of the  rakyat  (people) who exercise their electoral rights, at least once every five years,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. “That power is in the one or two ballots that Malaysians get to cast to elect the assemblymen and MPs of their choice,” he added. Syed Razak urged Malaysians to exercise their electoral right with utmost responsibility for the nation. “They must decide not based on emotions or hatred. They must weigh the pros and cons of every GE14 aspiring candidate offered for state assemblies and Parl...

GEs are about political consistency, commitment, sincerity, competency …

Use your wisdom to elect your representative GEs are about political consistency, commitment, sincerity, competency … As Malaysians go to cast their ballots on May 9, they must decide who they want to elect as their assemblyman and MP. In the run-up to polling day, political emotions will run high but this must not be allowed to dominate our ability to think carefully and decide for the future and our generations. There are two factors that we must be clear about: > That there are good and bad apples on both sides of the political divide; and > Understanding the distinct roles of an assemblyman and an MP (Member of Parliament). With the above cleared, Malaysians should decide wisely by identifying the good and bad apples from both sides of the political divide. This means you should elect only the good apples so that decisions and policies made by lawmakers in a state assembly and Parliament are naturally also good. What is the point of electing bad appl...

I am a rational Malaysian First! Are you?

I am a rational Malaysian First! Are you? Hello fellow Malaysians in N.37 Bukit Lanjan, Selangor. Something is happening in Malaysia and also particularly in Bukit Lanjan right now. There is a wind of change but is it for better or for worse? Please don’t be emotional and quick in making decisions. Decisions need to be made rationally. In this 14th General Election (GE14), Malaysians seem to have made their “flavour of the day or month” known by turning out in droves to attend GE14 public rallies staged by Pakatan Harapan (PH) featuring their top guns - especially former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed. I acknowledge and agree that every Malaysian, aged 21 and above and have registered as a voter, has the right to choose their leaders. But that right is flawed if decisions are made irrationally. Let me keep what I want to say as simple as possible: 1. We elect leaders to represent us as assemblymen and Members of Parliament (MPs). Have you given much thou...

If the complaint is not attended to within two weeks, I will get contractors to do the job and bill the local council,” Syed Razak said. Speaking to  Pulse Of Bukit Lanjan  after a walkabout in Desa Jaya, Taman Daya and a function at a Kemas Tadika today (May 3), Syed Razak a.k.a Pek Moh (White Haired) Bukit Lanjan said: “It is no rhetori...

Go for Pek Moh - the No.2 in the N.37 Bukit Lanjan ballot paper Pek Moh ’s top priority is to ‘whip’ local government authorities’ services into shape Barisan Nasional-Gerakan (BN-Gerakan)’s 14th General Election (GE14) candidate for N.37 Bukit Lanjan Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff says his top priority is to ensure that municipal services are delivered efficiently and to the  rakyat ’s satisfaction.

Use your head, not emotion, to elect your assemblyman and MP Barisan Nasional-Gerakan’s N.37 Bukit Lanjan candidate Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff is appealing to voters to use their “rational thinking”, not “emotion”, to decide who deserves to represent them in the next Selangor State Assembly. “There is a distinct difference between the responsibilities of assemblymen and MPs. Assemblymen are lawmakers for a state and MPs are lawmakers for the federal level of governance. “And there is this factor that needs to be considered … check and balance,” he added. Speaking to  Pulse Of Bukit Lanjan  after his walkabout in Aman Puri on Sunday night (April 30), Syed Razak a.k.a  Pek Moh  (White Haired) said voters should try to identify, without emotions, and judge the candidates contesting in any particular constituency, be it state or par...
