Scream, shout and speak up for change, says Syed Saddiq

PETALING JAYA: Malaysians must “scream, shout” and generally speak up to push for policy changes, Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said today.

“Many public policy changes or u-turns by different governments happen when there is a huge backlash, which shows that the people’s power starts with the ordinary Malaysian,” he said at a panel discussion on social justice.

“Shutting our eyes and ears today merely postpones the problem but it does not absolve us of the guilt and responsibility to change Malaysia together as a collective community,” he said.

Syed Saddiq said the 2018 general election (GE14) was a tipping point for the nation as politicians learned that they could be easily voted out if they did not listen to the people.
