OCT 18 Burke said it best: evil happens when good group do nothing. We have been in difficult times, let there be no disbelief about it. Despite intense title figures, a Malaysian economy, similar to each alternative manage to buy upon a planet, is confronting a period of slow growth, flat expansion or negative growth.
But upon top of this mercantile nightmare, you have been additionally confronting an explosive situation with irresponsible parties pitting Muslims against Christians as well as a incumbent Barisan Nasional (BN) as well as its lapdog media doing all it can to strengthen a hurtful as well as implicitly broke regime.
In east Malaysia, many Sarawakians live in misery whilst a large boss seems chaste despite justification of crime as well as abuse of power. In Sabah, a indigenous competition have had their idealisation rights of citizenry put to a sword by BN's despicable tactic of giving blue ICs to Filipinos as well as Indonesians.
Looking around Malaysia, it is too easy to despair, give up as well as allow a bullies to have a schoolyard or, in this instance, a country. But we petition all fair-minded Malaysians to fight behind as well as not produce an inch to these people who have been trying to dismay us.
I find it mildly amusing which Umno a celebration bereft of religious ideals or a dignified compass as well as its acolytes have been beating a drum upon this supposed apostasy hazard from Christians as well as have been threatening to impetus upon Saturday. How can a celebration which subscribes to crime as well as has overseen a complement with a widening gap in between a haves as well as have-nots even pretend to be guardians of religion?
But then this is not about religion. This is about politics, specifically a Malay vote. Umno is vigilant upon showing which it is a only defender of Malay rights.
And it is willing to do this even if it means destroying a fine balance of sacrament as well as competition in this country. we find it! comfort ing which PAS leaders, especially in Selangor, have not taken a attract as well as have instead slammed a organisers of a rally.
And yet, weren't you Malaysians brought up to hold which PAS was a hazard to tellurian rights as well as freedoms guaranteed by a Federal Constitution.
