LETTER | Now the right time for all politicians to cease fire

LETTER | It is time to move on and focus on what is best for the nation. We have experienced enough political drama, and after the recent state elections, it is now the right time for a ceasefire among politicians.

Every post-game analysis requires a review to gain insight to help coaches make the most of the strengths and address the weaknesses of the participants.

Likewise, an analysis of the election results showed that it did not reflect our strength as a nation. This probably comes from having a multiracial society.

Leave politics behind and spend some time to self-reflect on every person of different beliefs and backgrounds you have encountered in your life.

Did you have certain prejudices beforehand or even developed your own from a single isolated incident? Would you be compassionate enough to give a person another chance?

The art of communication is the language of leadership that must be mastered soon if we are to mend wounds.

We must take heed of Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah's decree on the new Selangor state government to immediately address all the concerns of the people, especially those related to infrastructure and development.

Malaysians need a strong baseline to stay resilient against any odds of a pandemic and socio-economic ramifications. In order to achieve this, we need leaders and people from every walk of society to have empathy.

We can only succeed as a unit when we have truly addressed our weakest link. Welfare aid may only help ease a person's burden but does not promise comfort.

Reforming our mindset is key to progress and improving the quality of life.

You can always serve your community as a citizen when you are surrounded by a team of like-minded people wanting a better Malaysia.
