Citizen

 

Inspired by a friend’s post on Facebook, this is my story of defiance against authority overreach—call it Citizen Defiance Syndrome (CDS). When more of us embrace CDS, we’ll see civil servants do what they’re meant to: serve.

I hope my stand against the Vistana Heights authorities becomes a case study in resolve. 

Sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand. I refuse to accept the unacceptable. I entered this fight unapologetically. The authorities thought they could ignore me, dismissing my emails until the matter reached the Integrity Department. Only then did the Director General of DBKK call for a meeting, this was followed by an invitation to discuss with the Permanent Secretary of Local Government and Housing, alongside the Attorney General, State Secretary, and mayor. That meeting? Conveniently postponed at the last moment.

I don’t bend. I go where others hesitate. History might urge you to play nice, negotiate quietly, avoid ruffling feathers. But I’m not here to follow someone else’s script—I’m rewriting the story. Standing up to the Vistana Heights authorities isn’t just defiance; it’s exposing their overreach and forcing a conversation they’ve dodged for years.

Call me reckless, a troublemaker, or a fool. I’ll take it. I’ve faced their suits, their whiteboards, their smug assurances of control. But I don’t bluff, and I don’t fold. Dialogue isn’t surrender—it’s strategy. Every letter, email, and tweet over the last three years are a calculated move to reclaim what’s ours: the right to live free from their suffocating grip.

I fight for principle—fairness, freedom, justice. Every step is deliberate, protecting what matters: my home, my rights, my community. Vistana Heights isn’t just a place; it’s a battleground for what’s right. I’m prudent when needed, weighing risks carefully, but fearless when it counts—a bulldog they didn’t see coming. They may call me stubborn; I call it resolve. Strength isn’t a dirty word—it’s the foundation of standing up to those who think they can dictate your life.

The Vistana Heights authorities underestimate me. But behind every bold move is a man who sees the bigger picture, challenging their loopholes, rewriting their narrative, and renaming their game. I’m not here to play by their rules—I’m here to change them.

I step into the lion’s den, not as a victim but as a force. I’ll be remembered as a man who stood tall, who showed what it means to fight for what’s yours. 

History repeats—my battles against a public-listed company for defamation, the deregistered Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host, my challenge to Pekway Sdn. Bhd. and now Vistana Heights prove it.

I am the Citizen.
