Love your honesty, Pn Badariah ! Wish there were more civil servants who can think like u and are as brave to voice their fears.

[@jchawkchong8610]

[@Dan30s]

She makes more sense than all our ministers put together!

[@rpremkumar1958]

This lady is absolutely spot on. Amazing genius.

[@oallan39]

Very brave discourse... Of inconvenient truths

[@creditbrunch]

beautiful speech... makes me teary-eyed actually. if only PKR and BN could listen to this, and agree... and do something about it before Malaysia looses its heart and soul even more...

[@theindianmoor1]

Beautifully put. Funny and very moving. We have lost our soul indeed and our love and respect for each other in this wonderful country. But as long as we can talk and discuss and think like this, we have hope!

[@geckoyap]

Have we opted out of Malaysia? I hope not. I am here to fight for my Malaysia back. Thank you Jo. This was an inspiring speech!

[@korkwan]

Since 2012 when the speech was given, we have also lost 3 planes of which 2 was found and also lost billions of dollar through 1MDB....

[@azimie100]

Is bring tears to my eyes that we are doom because of our ignorance toward what we believed that we not sure is really true or not yet...we gone backward..a shame...

[@MrDenniswoo]

Very well said. That is the problem we facing now. Our politician is suck compare to her. If she join politic I vote for her. I think before independent we got better flavour of culture then today.

[@hazelchong5111]

This is so good... Especially in a time like this 2021

[@drlogen]

[@Kampan613]

[@websterku]

[@mitran.writes]

Throw it out. Make our own culture, one that is inclusive. Hope's on the new generation. I just wanna be friends it's that simple. :)

[@fenathan36]

[@lola1987fudgeyouu]

8 years later, and she was completely right

[@kothija]

Puan Badariah for PM!!!!

[@aimanhilmi]

[@regiejohn15126]

wow!.. best one i couldnt agree with her more..

[@ramaldo61]

Said so eloquently. How do we get this message out to all Malaysians?

[@joeawk]

Despair not. We shall not wait for that day. We must vote for change at GE 13. Perish Ketuanan UMNO, not perish Malaysia.

[@crazeemunky]

your little world must be all shook up

[@MrRedhondabadge]

I am watching this in 2022. Afraid Malay politicians have gone down the path of racial politics, until Allah is not God

[@apahan89]

the culture is dying and we are losing ourselves.

[@dunkenus]

surprisingly she turned this provocative talk into a subtle taunts against the irony of some group lmao.

[@simonsaimeesamat4965]

I guess this person is a man. He is acting out an old 'makcik' character. What a creative way to penetrate people's subconscious with his idea of unifying all the beliefs system existing in Malaysia.

[@janejulisan4558]

+Simon Saimee Samat the person is a she :)

[@ryekenlin3681]

Clap clap clap JO

[@kris993tt]

I wonder why you think that? I thought it was brilliant and poignant. She makes good points against the brushing aside of other cultures and even the superficial take on a singular culture. The lack of depth and meaning in Malaysian society today and the callous disregard we have for the diversity we are blessed with. Any right thinking individual would see the truth and poignancy behind her speech...

[@chairme2]

The Question to ask would be: Who am I?

[@intanariffin6306]

Muslims country give priority to gospel. Comunistt country give priority to adzan and quran. A children whom their parents have different religion asking themselve ...i love mom or dad A chlidren whom their parents in same religion love their religion equally as their parents.hope badariah read this

[@Nakadnas21]

I laugh a lot...thank you cik Jo!!

[@dicksonngzihao88]

[@rlbmum]

Send my regards to cik Jo. ;)

[@bladeweilder]

[@eddiejazzman100]

I saw two dislikes. Probably by kids on the net with no parental guidance.

[@rpremkumar1958]

[@khrizd5273]

[@peteremmanuel2762]
