Sir,

I have always thought that politics is about winning the hearts and minds of the people. I didn’t know it is about winning the hearts and minds of the party members, at the expense of the people. Even Abe Lincoln that great father of democracy described his government as the government of the people, for the people and by the people.

Excerpt from "This Is Probably My Last Message to Malaysians."

From Raja Petra Kamaruddin
18th February 2009
