1-Dictator less for a World due to Change,Democracy as well as People Power

by Ismail Dahlan, Malaysia Chronicle | twenty-one October 2011

Another Middle Eastern autocrat has bitten a dust. Another section in a world's story has finished as well as it would be correct for Malaysia's own tyrants to take full as well as due note of a inevitable which is unconditional a globe change, democracy as well as people power.

Muammar Gaddafi, for all his brave difference as well as stated goal to "go down fighting", appears to have left down pleading; if reports of his last difference have been to be believed. He had apparently announced "don't shoot! don't shoot!" as he was dragged out of his hideout in Sirte today, by a Libyan NTC fighter. We will have to wait for for a last confirmation of course; a haze of quarrel still surrounds this headlines as well as a NTC has been wrong before.

Gaddafi had plenty of chances to come to an accommodation over a past few months though chose to go upon a run; standing opposite a combined forces of Libyan rebels as well as NATO. The writing upon a wall, it would seem, becomes hard to see when you've been vital in a tent for as well long. One is tempted to examine a psychological form of Arab dictators who endure in fighting doomed wars.

Saddam as well was lustful of oratory ungrounded in reality. During a initial gulf quarrel he betrothed a forces ranged opposite him "the mother of all battles" which incited out to be a headlong retreat to Baghdad.

Gaddafi would have been surrounded by advisers who told him what he wants to hear, changing their recommendation formed upon how he reacted to it with glance or grimace. One can safely! pretenc e which those who would have given unprejudiced recommendation would prolonged ago have been culled. Such is a inlet of energy hold as well prolonged by a single party, as well as even worse when accompanied by a cult of a individual. And Gaddafi had been in energy for 42 years. Losing energy would have been unthinkable to him as well as to his hangers-on.

In Syria events crop up to be maturation in uncanny likeness to Libya. The people protested peacefully, a supervision burst down unnecessarily cruelly together with a make use of of live bullets resulting in many deaths. Instead of interlude a protests, this caused them to spread all over Syria.

The supervision then used tanks as well as heavy weapons opposite its own people to try as well as vanquish a protests. Now, reports prove which Syrians have been commencement to arm themselves to quarrel a state. It is Libya all over again. Yet a Syrian supervision shows no indication of carrying learnt from Gaddafi's errors; as well as seems intent upon repeating history.

Compared to Libya as well as Syria, Tunisia as well as Egypt's leaders showed less desire to make use of mass lethal force opposite their own citizens, yet violence there positively was.

GE-13 to mark a new commencement

Malaysia (picture Bersih 2.0 rally), half a universe away, despite carrying close ties to a Arab nations by religious, informative as well as educational ties, has always decided upon its supervision by a ballot box.

The problem in a pa! st has b een which a elections themselves have not been fair with a BN supervision using assorted methods to assure themselves of a win not contemplative of a people's wishes. This has resulted in unbroken governments which have been essentially dictatorships.

And if Malaysia has had a dictator, it was Mahathir Mohammed, who ruled for twenty-two years; gloomy dissent as well as undermining a nation's institutions. His megalomaniacal projects included, between others, a tallest office building in a world, as well as a code new executive capital, Putrajaya, in a center of nowhere.

It has become some-more difficult for BN to manipulate a elections in West Malaysia, yet a recent elections in Sarawak was a highly questionable one. Election observers were banned from entering a state, an nonessential scheme if it was a fair election, as claimed by a Sarawak's state government.

The supervision additionally controls a press as well as promote media though have been blindsided by a Internet's reach. Official media channels, simply by being as well biased to a BN, have rendered themselves invalid as they have been no longer during all trusted. This trend is transparent in their circulation numbers, with a NST as well as Utusan Malaysia going to a extent of giving their copies divided for free.

The General Elections in Malaysia, expected soon, may put an end to yet an additional dictatorship; a single which has lasted even longer than Gaddafi's brutal, lunatic rule, for a Barisan Nasional has been in energy for some-more than 50 years.
