The Season of Blundering Buffoons

By Masterwordsmith

While some competence consider a dirt is settling after a release of a EO6, a charge could be brewing instead. Following a gross mishandling of a Bersih 2.0 convene as well as post-Bersih events, BN has been scurrying to govern damage control but to no avail. Why?

Legal or Illegal?

To declare Bersih 2.0 as an bootleg classification is a large inapplicable designation since it is not an classification but a bloc of 62 organizations that have been LEGALLY registered.

There is no necessity for a bloc to be registered. All they did was to come together to pursue certain electoral reforms for a stronger as well as more approved system. For that matter, Pakatan Rakyat is additionally not purebred but is it deliberate bootleg since it is a bloc of 3 legally purebred parties?

If there have been defects in any complement such as a judiciary, a troops or a bureaucracy, responsible adults have to push for changes. Is anything wrong with that?

Bear in thoughts that the King met with Bersih 2.0 Chairperson S.Ambiga and not Ibrahim Ali.

What does that tell us?

Besides, a IGP additionally said that Bersih 2.0 could have a convene during a Shah Alam Stadium. Even then, a Bernama statement has contradictions. Details HERE.

So why as well as when did it become illegal? Simple - when they perceived that a organizers had defied them. When threatened, proof as well as reason fizzle in to thin air as well as afterwards a seeds o! f fear w ould be sown.

Blundering Buffoons

To that end, thirty PSM leaders as well as members were arrested for allegedly being in embrace of 600 photocopies of Bersih pamphlets as well as rebellious documents. Six were hold for twenty-eight days without trial under a draconian Emergency Ordinance 1969 as well as were released last Friday. However, a thirty face charges under a Societies Act pertaining to a Bersih 2.0 pamphlets as well as a Internal Security Act for a rebellious documents.

Ironically, Malaysia sits upon a UN Human Rights Council as well as still practises a ISA as well as a Emergency Ordinance. What a farce!

As a result of a most blunders made in a pre as well as post Bersih period, a general media went to town as they highlighted a demeanour in that a authorities handled a rally.



The deteriorate of blunders one after another when the PM announced that a Government is committed to electoral reforms as well as ensuring that parliamentary democracy is perpetually maintained.

Reality check. Isn't that part of Bersih's quest for electoral reforms? Why brand a bloc as bootleg as well as afterwards go upon to do what that bloc has been perplexing to do?

During a 5th Annual Malaysian Student Leaders Summit in Kuala Lumpur last Sunday, MyOverseasVote (MOV) said that Najib was asked as to how Malaysians study as well as operative abroad could cast their votes.

He reportedly answered th! at he wo uld demeanour in to a practicalities of permitting abroad voting as well as a necessity of amending a Federal Constitution to allow for thi! s. He al so positive a limit that his administration is committed to as well as will commence electoral reform.

In a statement today, MOV voiced disappointment that Najib appeared to be in a dim about abroad voting as well as referred to Article 119 of a constitution.

According to Free Malaysia Today:


The essay provides that each Malaysian citizen has a right to opinion so prolonged as he is during slightest twenty-one years aged as well as purebred either as a voter resident in a subdivision or as an Absent Voter.


MOV additionally pointed out that pursuant to a Elections (Postal Voting) Regulations 2003, all absent electorate have been entitled to embrace postal ballots when an choosing is called.


Unfortunately a regulations governing a registration of absent electorate now discriminate in between adults upon a drift of their function as well as employment, MOV said.


The Elections (Registration of Voters) Regulations 2002 allowed usually 3 categories of Malaysian adults to register as absent voters.


The 3 are:


  • serving members of a Malaysian, Commonwealth or unfamiliar troops as well as their spouses,
  • civil servants portion outside Peninsular or East Malaysia as well as their spouses, and
  • full-time students study outside Peninsular or East Malaysia as well as their spouses.


It thereby excludes nearly a million Malaysians stationed abroad who work in a in isolation zone or who have been reti! red, MOV stated.


The budding apportion should explain why a Malaysian portion with a unfamiliar troops is entitled to opinion as an absent voter but not a Malaysian who works abroad for a! Malaysi an or multinational company.

I am certain with his most well-trained as well as rarely competent advisers, a PM, conduct of a country should be able to strew light upon these issues. After all, aren't a elections only round a corner?

Apart from all this, FMT additionally reported that speculation has been rife that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razaks in front of in Umno is under threat. A charge is really brewing at a back of a scenes. The inform cited that "while in public, await is voiced for a president, at a back of sealed doors his emissary Muhyiddin Yassin with a blessings of former budding apportion Dr Mahathir Mohamad is creation his move."

Many believe that a budding ministers hold upon power slipped further following a Bersih 2.0 convene upon Jul 9 whilst a controversies surrounding his wife Rosmah Mansor have been additionally taking a toll.

What will happen during this deteriorate of blundering buffoons? Expect fireworks!

For sure, WE cannot blunder when you go to a ballot box.

We all need a joined mount from all Malaysians against a host of injustices in this country as well as a starting point would be electoral reforms that would open a way to a cleaner, fairer approved system.
