I, Syed Saddiq, humbly and sincerely seek for your assistance.
Back then I genuinely believed in the leadership of Datuk Seri Najib and that he would bring our country to a new golden era. I was so honoured when I was awarded the National Premier Youth Award (Anugerah Perdana Belia Negara) by Datuk Seri Najib himself.
I was like all of you, a government civil servant, a private sector employee, and also ran my own side business in the hopes that our country would open up more opportunities for everyone.
However, I was disappointed, upset and dispirited when the top leadership of our beloved nation engaged in what’s possibly the largest daylight robbery and rolled back on all the promised reforms. I was determined to ask the very question that millions of Malaysians had at the tip of their tongues. But when I voiced it out, I was threatened and harassed by the very same people whom had once said to me, _“Saddiq, you are Malaysia’s future.”_
I resigned from my job under Najib Tun Razak’s government and was fired from my other jobs merely for raising my voice. I deferred my decision to continue my studies in Oxford and had to let go a full scholarship, in the very course that is dear to me - Public Policy.
My family has been threatened;
My students and my friends have been threatened.
Now, I am determined to fight for a new Malaysia.
I want to wrestle back the power and restore it to the people.
I want to ensure that each and every single cent that was rightfully earned from the blood, sweat and tears of the people will go back to their own pockets, and not to those of the corrupted leaders.
I want to ensure that the Voice of the youth are empowered, and not silenced.
There shall be no more overpowering puissant leaders
There shall be no more superior Political Parties that sit complacent on their thrones of power.
And there will be no more people robbed of their rights and tormented from a better a life.
It doesn’t matter if one is from UMNO, BERSATU, PAS or DAP, a wrong is still a wrong. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and as such justice should not and can not discriminate. If there is even a single member of UMNO who has been unfairly and wrongfully persecuted, I will personally come down and stand by him or her, and I will defend him or her.
Why? This is OUR Malaysia, and an abuse of his or her rights is an abuse of my rights.
Hence, I cannot fight alone.
This fight requires sacrifice.
Victory requires sacrifice.
The result of all of our sacrifices is because of all Malaysians.
Join me and let’s discover and shape our new Malaysia.
Let’s stand together for a better Malaysia.
Therefore, I humbly seek for your assistance.
