I am angry. More than with anything or anybody else, you am indignant with my self. you have for so long been notice everybody which unchecked Federalism as good as unchallenged UMNO/BN prevalence will fundamentally lead to a Police State. Few took it seriously. you did not press a panic symbol tough sufficient or become belligerent about it. And that's is my failure.
Now which a Police State has happened upon us, you similar to Pilate, wring a hands as good as moan as good as groan.
Who won upon 9th Jul 2011 is not usually relevant, it is of paramount importance. For when story is written as good as re-written in a years to come, Malaysians as good as a total World shall know which most others as good as you currently stood in a participation of GREATNESS which might not utterly humour or pale in comparison if placed alongside which of Mandela, King as good as Ghandhi.
Super-heroine
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Super Ambiga!
Daughter, woman, lady, wife, mother, lawyer, human, humane exemplary LEADER as good as God's child - Ambiga Sreenivasan.
She has burst upon us similar to a fiery comet from a Kuiper Belt, presumably heralding a birth of a splendid brand new era in Malaysian politics.
She has arrived in a year when they usually expelled a movie of a single of my prime childhood comic book heroes, The Green Lantern. You roughly design her similar to Hal Jordan/Green Lantern to whip out her Yellow Bersih 2.0 T-shirt as good as chant:
In brightest day, in blackest night, No immorality shall shun my sight.
Let those who ceremony evils migh! t, Bewar e my power Yellow T-shirts light!
It does receptive to advice a bit corny, you admit. But Ambiga has an Indian stock too, as good as perhaps:
"L! ong close ts ago, a assignation was done with destiny, as good as right away a time comes when you shall redeem a pledge, not wholly or in full measure, though substantially."
Today you marched with thousand who came not usually from all over Kuala Lumpur, Selangor as good as a suburbs as good as boondocks though also from Trengganu, Kelantan, Penang, Perak, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan as good as Johor. There were boys as good as girls, mothers as good as fathers as good as even grandfathers as good as grandmothers. Some even bravely brought their tot children along to bear witness to a ancestral occasion. There were especially Malays as good as most Indians , Chinese as good as most Others.
Shock waves
The ambience was electric.
Not usually a educated, a lawyers as good as activists as good as a comfortable or rich as good as well-connected were there. The baker, a grocer as good as a candlestick maker had trudged there too. There was even a man with leg in plaster expel hobbling about upon crutches as good as Irene Fernandez in a wheelchair! One other vital Ambiga supporter was there as well, gripping a low profile. We shall accede to her her a anonymity she desired. All were seething with incandescent rage, all united by three categorical issues:
1. THE PRIME MINISTER LIED TO BERSIH AND THE NATION AND HE'S STILL IN OFFICE.
2. The military can dictate to a adults what colour T-shirt they can wear? By what provision in OUR Constitution as good as Law do they creed to do that? How do they arrogate to themselves such powers as good as who authorized it? What next? A fiat upon bras, panties as good as underwear?
3. Our election system as good as manners need a vital overhaul.
Simmering not far off was a actuality which a King of Malaysia had been angry by Ibrahim Ali questionin! g his ac tions in assembly Ambiga as good as hammering out a compromise as good as which PM Najib had not been sincere in offering a Stadium venue for Bersih 2.0's impetus while his cousin, Home Minister Hishamuddin Hussein threw in a technical 'pasang kaki' (leg trip) objection as good as refused to repel Bersih's gazetted wanted person status.
F! aced wit h such obvious duplicity from a PM, Home Minister as good as The IGP as good as sledgehammer to fly tactics, a people motionless sufficient was sufficient as good as motionless to march, come ruin or tall water!
This was a watershed peoples' march. On a day, there were no issues of race, sacrament or class. Although Prime Minister Najib Razak as good as frog Perkasa manipulator Ibrahim Ali had both demonised Ambiga as good as overplayed a competition as good as eremite (anti-Islam) label in a weeks preceding a ancestral Bersih 2.0 March of 9th Jul 2011, a people understood a genuine issues during hand.
No some-more trust
Have no doubt. At a begin of today, a distance between a Malaysia Government as good as a people was during a farthest it has ever been. Not even in 1969 was a nation some-more divided. At a finish of a day, which distance had widened even more!
We no longer certitude Prime Minister Najib, his Cabinet, his Government or his administration.
Make no mistake. What a authorities rigourously as good as unfairly meted out to a fellow adults currently was all during a behest of Prime Minister Najib, Deputy PM Muhydin as good as Home Minister Hishamuddin Hussein (long dubbed Kerismudin). It is a grade of reprehensible tall handedness which represents a brand new low in Malaysian order by law as good as order by fear regime.
They turned upon H2O cannons as good as fired rip gas where none was called for during all. The throng was vehement as good as boisterous, though not vicious. Yet they were victimised as good as assaulted. But everybody refused to be cowed by villainous danger! tactics .
No Malaysian citizen buys this common Cabinet patrolman out which a Inspector General of Police is to be blamed for it all.
How has a Government remade itself from a people's supervision to a Stalinist one?
Malevolence
Such malignant changes never occur overnight. We have to go behind to a 1980's to snippet a roots.
Every ten years or so a universe moves brazen by ditching an anachronism. Malaysia has t! ended to respond to these global changes in perverse contrarian fashion. It has bucked a direction as though confounding behaviour is regularly a certain virtue.
The Berlin Wall fell in November 1989 indication a 1991 fall of a Soviet Union as good as a nearby obliteration of Communism.
In 1987, Dr. Mahathir anticipated a fall of a aged universe order as good as a Iron Curtain with scary as good as uncanny prevision by embarking upon Ops Lallang. 106 politicians, most of them from a Opposition, were arrested as good as jailed without hearing underneath a Internal Security Act (ISA). To facade what was clearly an attempt to suppress antithesis to Dr.M's policies, he also had arrested some UMNO MP's - together with a afterwards unknown unknown Ibrahim Ali - all of whom were expelled before long thereafter. Lim Kit Siang as good as Karpal Singh of DAP were served with 2 year apprehension orders!
Dr.M capped this authority performance by sacking Chief Justice Salleh Abbas in 1988 as good as afterwards said a King had initiated it!
Earlier this year, a afterwards IGP, Hanif Omar, categorically "confirmed" which it was he who authorised a 1987 ISA arrests as good as not Dr.M!
Not startling afterwards which in a run up to Bersih2.0, PM Najib, DPM Muhyddin as good as Hishamuddin Hussein re-affirmed a universal law between Parliamentary democracies which inaugurated leaders, MP's as good as Cabinet members of Government were all subordinates of their particular Inspector Generals of Police!
Has there ever been a so! me-more gutless patrolman out or frowzy BS in a story of a world?
Gutlessness
Early this year a universe bore witness to a a 'Arab Spring Uprising.' PM Najib was between a initial to suggest President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt:
In a approved system, you contingency prioritise a people as good as which is because any solution in Egypt contingency be based upon demands as good as wants of a people to determine a destiny of their government.
Whoa, was he, as is regularly claimed by Malaysian politicians, misquoted by Zionists, a USA, IMF, World Ban! k as good as Si ngapore intent upon interfering in a inner affairs of Malaysia? Naah, it's usually 100% true. So, salsa for a goose...sauce for a gander? Naah, not a chance, not in 1Malaysia, 2 Systems.
In his May 2011 speech during Oxford University, PM Najib went a single improved with:
Our preference is clear. Come together in action for a destiny of justice, freedom, hope, compassion as good as goodwill for a children or it will be transposed by a destiny of injustice, tyranny, hopelessness, cruelty as good as hate."
The spindoctoring equipment never stops. They never say what they meant or meant what they say.
The IGP currently claimed usually 6,000 protesters took part. But a math doesn't discriminate - a military arrested nearly a whopping 1,500 or 25% of them? The throng was essentially somewhere in a segment of 50,000-100,000 during a peak.
So, to borrow (with due apologies) from Churchill :
Ambiga as good as her Bersih 2.0 cohorts of 9th Jul 2011 led us in a excellent hour. Never in a story of Malaysian conflict have so most due so much to so few.
So, Prime Minister Najib, do a decent thing. Do what's right as good as noble. Redeem yourself. Go see a King tomorrow. Submit your abdication letter to him as good as call for fresh elections immediately.
You are not fit to lead as good as govern Malaysia 1 day longer than that!
