All Malaysians are equal. I will fight for laws that protect Malaysians from discrimination based on race, religion and belief, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, pregnancy and maternity, and gender reassignment.

Malaysians should not be treated worse than someone else or harassed because they have either of those characteristics. We need to abolish rules and policies that lead to discrimination.

Our country must be free of discrimination, especially in employment, education and housing.

I will fight for government policies and institutions to remain secular.

All Malaysians should have the freedom to choose whatever faith they want to believe in and to practise it as they see fit.

However, any moral or personal sins should not be criminalised. Malaysia must eradicate moral policing to protect people’s right to live their private life without interference from the State.

The right to free speech must be protected to create a marketplace of ideas in Malaysia. It’s hard for Malaysia to move forward if alternative views are stifled. At the same time, there must also be legislation to protect minority groups from hate speech and hate crimes, but such acts should have very specific definitions in the law.

I believe that laws which curb freedom of speech and press freedom should be abolished, while public access to information should be improved. We need to Repeal the Sedition Act 1948, the Printing Presses and Publications Act (PPPA) 1984 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. 

I will fight for a more liveable city. Kuala Lumpur needs to have more parks and playgrounds, especially in low-cost residential areas. Parks and playgrounds should be within walking distance from one’s home. They need to be properly maintained.

City planners should choose the best locations to build parks, while developers must always leave land for playgrounds. We need more pocket parks throughout the city. Parks will enable people in a neighbourhood to mix together; people will be healthier and less stressed out.

I will promote a cycling culture in Kuala Lumpur so that people can cycle to nearby places to run their errands or for leisure time, to school or to work. Bicycles should supplement the MRT and LRT. Bicycle parking should be provided at all MRT and LRT stations.

We need to increase bicycle lanes throughout the city and prioritise cycling, public transport and pedestrians above driving cars. This will cut traffic congestion and pollution and make Kuala Lumpur a green city. People will also be healthier.

I will fight to restore local council elections in Kuala Lumpur so that we can elect our mayor. The person who runs our city should be elected by the people to hold him or her accountable. It is unfair that the people of Kuala Lumpur only have one vote to cast in elections.

Besides electing federal lawmakers whose task is to enact laws, we should be able to elect our mayor and local councillors to ensure that they do efficient urban planning and realise the people’s vision of a modern metropolis. 

I will oppose the proposed development project that encroaches on Taman Rimba Kiara. I’m one of the plaintiffs to a lawsuit against the project. Taman Tun Dr Ismail does not need an additional 10,000 new residents as the suburb is congested enough already with 40,000 residents, way above the original target of 25,000 residents based on its original infrastructure.

The project appears to come with extensive road construction works too. Taman Rimba Kiara is a public open space designated under the KL City Draft Plan 2020. The entire Plan must be gazetted immediately by the end of the year.

I will fight against climate change to protect our planet for future generations. I believe that we must consume less, recycle more and improve the public transport system to reduce our cars’ carbon footprint.

We need to have a Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Re-purpose and Recycle mindset. We should refuse products that we don't need, reduce the things we use, reuse things like grocery bags, re-purpose things in creative ways and recycle as much as we can.

There must be more education and awareness campaigns on recycling and on the importance of separating our trash. Separate trash cans should be provided in public areas. Plastic bags and polystyrene packs must be reduced.

I will fight to ensure that there are no water cuts in Taman Tun Dr Ismail.

In this day and age, it is ridiculous that we have such frequent water cuts that last for days.

I will fight to improve security in Taman Tun Dr Ismail so that people will feel safe in their homes and on the streets. There should be more police patrolling.

The neighbourhood should also have efficient lighting. We should have wide sidewalks and quality public spaces so that there are more people on the street, which will create an atmosphere of safety.

The education system in Malaysia is messy and fragmented. Standards in government schools have dropped so much that many parents are sending their children to private school. Many Malaysian students have low English proficiency and score poorly in science and mathematics.

I believe that English proficiency must improve and political interference be minimised in the education system.

We need to have a mandatory pass in English in SPM. This will force schools to focus on English-language education and ensure that school-leavers are proficient in English before entering university. There must be sufficient English-language teachers at all schools to ensure that rural students do not get left behind.

Women should have equal opportunities and be able to live without the fear of violence. 

I will fight for laws against sexual harassment and pregnancy discrimination. It’s not enough to be able to sue for sexual harassment; it should also be criminalised via a specific law. Pregnant workers and prospective employees should be protected from discrimination at work.

Women should not be asked questions about pregnancy plans or their marital status at job interviews. Neither should they be denied promotions, get sacked, or have their job offers revoked just because of their pregnancy.

Malaysia’s economy is dominated by government-linked companies (GLCs) and government-linked investment companies (GLICs). The government should reduce its involvement in the private sector and allow for a free market without excessive state intervention.

We need to cut government ownership in companies and retain state control only in sensitive sectors like utilities. Politicians should not be on the boards of state-owned companies.

The private sector should be driving economic growth, not the government.

Political parties and politicians should be prohibited from receiving money from foreign donors. Ideally, the identities of donors to political parties and politicians should be made public to enable the electorate to make more informed decisions.

However, requiring such transparency in political funding must come hand in hand with a fair government who won’t penalise contributors to opposition parties.

I believe Malaysia should make asset declarations mandatory. Cabinet ministers, state executive councillors, Members of Parliament, assemblymen and high-ranking civil servants should declare their assets before they assume office and periodically after.
