Perdana Menteri Malaysia dalam keadaan yang tidak selesa
rencana oleh Mohd Rashidi Hassan
Rakyat menyambut kepulangan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak dari lawatan ke tiga buah negara Eropah 22hb. Julai 2011, dengan tekad untuk meneruskan reformasi yang digerakkan melalui Perhimpunan Bersih 2.0, 9hb. Julai lepas.
Walaupun keberangkatan Najib ke luar negara mendapat liputan hebat daripada media arus perdana, hakikatnya Najib sendiri berada dalam keadaan yang amat tidak selesa.
Najib menyambut ulangtahun kelahirannya yang ke-58 pada 23hb. Julai lepas dalam keadaan yang tidak selesa kerana populariti yang cuba dibinanya, selepas mengambil alih jawatan PM daripada Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi pada 4hb. April 2009, semakin jatuh merudum.
Najib ternyata gagal mendapatkan sokongan rakyat, apabila banyak aphorism dan dasar yang dijajanya tidak mendapat sambutan.
Malah, Najib semakin kehilangan sokongan dari dalam UMNO, kerana banyak tindak tanduknya dilihat tidak membantu memulihkan UMNO yang terjejas teruk sejak Pilihan Raya Umum Mac 2008.
Yang pale teruk ialah apabila media dalam dan luar negara membuat kritikan yang amat keras terhadap Najib kerana cara kerajaan UMNO-BN pimpinannya mengendalikan pra dan pasca Perhimpunan Bersih 2.0 dianggap yang pale buruk dalam sejarah demokrasi Malaysia moden.
Sehingga sebelum Najib berangkat menemui Ratu Elizabeth dan PM British, David Cameron, akhbar-akhbar di negara berkenaan melabelkan beliau sama seperti diktator Mesir, bekas Presiden Hosni Mubarak.
Malah akhbar Guardian yang berpengaruh di United Kingdom memaparkan rencana bertajuk Mubarak Model, apabila merujuk kepada cara polis Malaysia yang bertindak ganas ke atas ! ! peserta demonstrasi Bersih 2.0.
Dalam satu tulisan, mereka menggesa PM Malaysia dengan mengatakan Malaysias Najib Must
Abandon The Mubarak Model. Akhbar tersebut juga memberi amaran kepada Najib, bahawa beliau akan menghadapi tekanan dan kritikan global, kerana cara beliau mengendalikan Bersih 2.0 bertentangan dengan norma kebebasan hak asasi yang diterima pakai oleh Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu.
Seorang kolumnis akhbar harian di UK, Simon Tisdall membelasan Najib dan memberi amaran kepada beliau bahawa di bawah kepimpinannya Malaysia sudah mengambil pendekatan diktator seperti Hosni Mubarak.
Malah akhbar-akhbar di UK juga menggesa PM mereka supaya mengambil kira rekod buruk Najib yang tidak langsung menghormati hak asasi kemanusiaan, sebelum berunding mengenai hubungan dua hala serta perdagangan.
Najib dikritik keras oleh Amnesty International, yang menjadi saksi ramai peserta demonstrasi yang cedera, mengalami pendarahan akibat dipukul oleh polis.
Bantahan dan tekanan terhadap kerakusan pihak polis tidak akan terhenti selagi pihak yang bertanggungjawab tidak diheret ke muka pengadilan. Najib berada dalam keadaan serba tak kena kerana beliau akan terus menerima tekanan dari dalam dan luar negara, akibat kesilapan kerajaan menangani tuntutan rakyat.
Najib barangkali lupa bahawa beliau berhadapan dengan kuasa rakyat. Iaitu kuasa rakyat yang tidak mempercayai sistem pilihan raya di Malaysia bebas dan demokratik, rakyat yang sangsi dengan complement kehakiman dan rakyat yang tidak boleh menerima tindakan ganas Polis terhadap mereka.
Najib jumpa, bahawa ini adalah perhimpunan rakyat yang tulen, bukannya perhimpunan yang diangkut dengan bas-bas, dijamu dengan nasi bungkus dan sebagainya, seperti yang dilakukan dalam perhimpunan tajaan UMNO-BN.
Rakyat akan terus! membu! during tuntu tan, rakyat akan terus tegakkan keadilan. Tiada istilah berundur pada hati dan jiwa rakyat.
Rakyat tidak akan berhenti dan tidak akan berpuashati selagi Najib tidak diundurkan, selagi UMNO-BN tidak diturunkan dari tampuk pemerintahan. harakahdaily.net
Malaysias Najib contingency desert a Mubarak Model

As Najib comes touting for UK trade, Cameron has a possibility to uncover him strong-arm strategy opposite protesters have been unacceptable.
It is not in a same league as Arab open uprisings in Egypt as well as elsewhere. But Malaysias fancifully declared hibiscus series has potential, during least, to inflict a winter of displeasure upon a gormless government of Prime Minister Najib Razak. Thats something David Cameron should bear in thoughts when Najib comes touting for business in Downing Street upon Thursday. Bilateral traffic as well as investment is important. Respect for basic tellurian rights some-more so.
Najib reacted with characteristic heavy-handedness when tens of thousands of demonstrators took to a streets of Kuala Lumpurat a weekend perfectionist reformasi approved reform as well as an end to a defective electoral complement which guarantees Najibs party representing a Malay majority, UMNO, stays in power indefinitely. About 1,700 people were arrested as well as most harmed as military used rod charges, watercannon as well as teargas to break up pacific protests.
In an relate of Britains Ian Tomlinson affair, a single protester, identified as Baharuddin Ahmad, 59, collapsed as well as later died nearby a Petronas Towers in execut! ive Kual a Lumpur while fleeing teargas. Amnesty International pronounced a Police had knocked about most demonstrator! s. It de manded an investigation in to claims they failed to yield prompt benefit to Baharuddin as well as which there was a 90-minute check before an ambulance arrived.
Prime Minister Najibs government rode roughshod over thousands of Malaysians exercising 
their right to pacific protest, Amnesty said. This aroused repression flies in a face of international tellurian rights standards as well as cannot be allowed to continue. David Cameron should discuss it Prime Minister Najib which these tellurian rights violations have been unacceptable.
The protests, a product of taking flight tensions linked to mooted early elections, spending cuts as well as domestic upheavals in neighbouring Thailand as well as Singapore, relate events opposite a Muslim world. Many of a participants were reportedly younger-generation Malaysians kicking back opposite investiture cronyism, curbs upon open public as well as debate, as well as state-imposed censorship deliberate draconian even by informal standards.
Within hours of a violence, a Facebook apply to perfectionist Najib resign was attracting 300 likes per minute, a (Singapore-based) Straits Times reported. As of this morning, some-more than 172,000 people had voiced support. I dont understand because a harshness, a beatings, posted Sofie Muhammad. The throng didnt even chuck stones during a shops. Why is a government afraid? All you want is free elections. Videos were also available by protesters.
Marimuthu Manogaran of a Democratic Action Party, representing a racial Chinese minority, pronounced most of a protesters were first timers. Young people [are] entrance out there to demand their rights as w! ell as I consider which is a good pointer for Malaysia, he told Luke Hunt of a Diplomat.
Another report, denied by a Police, pronounced a sanatorium where protesters had taken refuge was pounded by certainty forces an incident same to events in Bahrain earlier this year. Appalled by a behaviour of military as well as sovereign reserve unit special forces, Bersih 2.0, a antithesis bloc for clean as well as satisfactory elections, called for a stately commission of exploration as well as vowed to go upon a reformasi campaign, come what may.
Anwar Ibrahim, a veteran antithesis personality forever persecuted by successive governments upon trumped-up sodomy charges (he is due in justice again subsequent month), was between those injured. He pronounced later a government had lost a peoples certainty as well as some-more street protests were inevitable. We will have to aspire to free elections inside as well as outward of parliament, he warned.
Far from revelation fault, Najib has in jeopardy some-more strong-arm strategy if a demos continue. Dont doubt a strength. If you want to emanate chaos, you can. UMNO has 3 million members. If you gather 1 million members, it is some-more than enough. We can conquer Kuala Lumpur, he said.
Such threats appear ill-advised. When elected in 2009, Najib betrothed to overpass Malaysias political, racial as well as religious divisions. Now hes in risk of exacerbating them, as his aged boss, Malaysias founding father Mahathir Mohammad referred to in a recent interview.
Malaysia is not upon a verge of revolution, hibiscus-coloured or otherwise. Relatively speaking, it is some-more stable, homogenou! s as wel l as moneyed than alternative Muslim or Arab countries currently experiencing popular turmoil. But it is not politically defence to a international zeitgeist, any some-more than a manage to buy is defence to tellurian trends. This latter care explains because Najib is in London. And it gives Cameron as well as alternative Europe! an leade rs leverage should they select to make use of it.
Malaysians need usually look north to see how Thai electorate defied a political-military investiture as well as voted in a personality of their choice. When Burmas Aung San Suu Kyispeaks of a identical tiwn imperatives of freedom as well as democracy, she speaks for an entire region. And if Malaysians look south to Singapore or easterly to Hong Kong, they see confirmed ruling elites under determined plea by activists emboldened by a spirit of change.
Malaysias leaders should arise up as well as smell a coffee. Led intelligently as well as openly, Malaysia could be a indication for South-East Asia. Led repressively, it could tumble apart. Najib contingency get upon a right side of history. The Mubarak indication doesnt work.
