Anwar and Muhyiddin size up Najib's tumble

Two men who stand to gain with Prime Minister Najib Razak's imminent tumble from power had really opposite reactions to a consult confirming a Malaysian leader's loss of favour with a people.

One was Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, who expressed concern a diseased formula competence prompt Najib in to scuttling electoral reforms so as to lengthen a BN's stay in power. The alternative was Deputy prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who showed a glance of his ambition by firstly notice which a consult formula could not be taken seriously, as well as yet in a subsequent breath, voiced which he was right away privately overseeing a rise in prices as well as would do all he could to stop a inflation.

Rising costs of vital due to a recent slew of susbidy cuts upon consumer essentials plus Najib's harsh as well as aroused crackdown upon a Bersih 2.0 campaign for giveaway as well as satisfactory elections were cited by consult respondents as being a chief factors for marking him down.

According to Anwar Ibrahim, a steep tumble in Najib's recognition was additionally an unmistakable sign which a BN care could no longer sojourn in rejection as well as go on to adopt a strategies of a "1950s" in a current age, where new governing body had already swept many of a modern universe including die-hard tyrannical regimes in a Middle East.

"Its critical which you send a pure message which you cant go on to foreordain a affairs of this state as if you have been in a 1950s. Things have changed. Libya has changed, even Syria. Why must Malaysia be considered an exception? Anwar told reporters at a Hari Raya celebration held by Selangor Mentri Besar Khalid ! Ibrahim.

Regardless of a support, it is incumbent, it is needed of! any res ponsible leader in a country, to safeguard elections have been satisfactory as well as free. It is needed of care is to safeguard you honour your joining for satisfactory elections, giveaway of graft as well as corruption, pure economic policies, stop denigrating people as well as their eremite ideology as well as culture as well as competition or language. These have been issues enshrined in a constitution.

Bersih as well as Najib's alleged insincere leadership

The Aug consult by a Merdeka Centre showed Najib's recognition at usually 59 per cent compared to 65 per cent three months ago as well as 72 per cent in May final year. The 6 commission point tumble is an alarm bell which UMNO - a BN's trainer - cannot as well as is not expected to ignore.

It is even lower than a 61 per cent scored by Najib's predecessor, Abdullah Badawi, just prior to he led a BN to a worst-ever electoral performance in a 2008 ubiquitous election, scraping usually a simple infancy as well as losing control of 5 states out of 13 to Pakatan.

In a days which followed Najib's high-profile crackdown upon a recent Jul 9 Bersih rally, a PM one after another to calumniate a transformation as well as attempted to whitewash a military brutality dealt out during a march, where some-more than 50,000 Malaysians had taken part.

But his claims usually drew ridicule for himself as well as his administration. In a past dual weeks, Najib has attempted to make justification by proposing a Parliamentary Select Committee to look in to a electoral reforms demanded by Bersih as well as Anwar's Pakatan Rakyat coalition. But his warding off to guarantee a voter system would be spotless up prior to a subsequent ubiquitous choosing has sparked uninformed accusations which this was his ultimate 'trick'.

Sources told Malaysia Chronicle which Najib could not hold his ratings could thrust so steeply as well as ! had comm issioned identical surveys though they showed a same disappearing results. It was not startling which in a days heading to a release of a Merdeka survey, 'unoffcial spokesmen' of his UMNO celebration began to verbalise out against him. Mos! t notabl e was Perak Mufti Harissani Zakaria who accused a Najib administration department of being weak, corrupt as well as 'lacking in trust'.

Muhyiddin stakes his claim

Speculation is right away abundant which Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin is gearing up to take over a UMNO presidency from Najib soon. The celebration is due to hold a annual assembly in Dec as well as internal elections subsequent year.

However, a 64-year aged Muhyiddin was clever not to overly uncover his hand, although he additionally did his satisfactory share of sabre-rattling.

We cant take a formula too seriously as well as it depends upon who a people interviewed were. It may not be a view of many Malaysians, he told reporters during a Prime Ministers Hari Raya open house.

What is critical is not a consult though what you do from right away on. We need to focus upon a issues at hand. We know what a problems have been as well as you have been addressing them. One emanate is which of a rising costs of living, as well as we am chairing a NKRA (National Key Results Area) to deal with a rising costs of products as well as services. We have been seeking in to ways to solve this issue."

But pundits were not impressed by a DPM's reply as well as see in him an halt leader to fill up a scandal-tainted Najib's shoes, rsther than than as a idealist bold enough to implement a reforms critically needed by a nation.

"Until Muhyiddin faces a reality of how critical a problems have been in Malaysia as far a economy, a lack of competition as well as a protectionism which is right away murdering us, have been - then he is just another 'for show' leader," PKR vice boss Tian Chua told Malaysia Chronicle.

Is the government really going to reprimand both the RTM1 and TV3 stations?

First you saw a report from RTM1 observant which a little Pakatan Rakyat leaders were during a back of a little efforts to get most Muslim to spin "murtad" opposite their religion. Then, there is TV3 who faked an additional report observant which there is a little attempt to have a little people "murtad" as well as even tell a design of an purported location which didn't even exist in a initial place.

What have been a intentions of these RTM1 as well as TV3? From a observation given 2008, you notice which headlines readers from these dual stations seems like hating a antithesis Pakatan Rakyat so much when they have been celebration of a mass their headlines reports in front of a screen.

When reporting about a condemnation or criticisms upon a antithesis party leaders, these headlines reader like to lift their tones as well as sometimes added funny as well as spiteful difference to uncover their be vexed upon them. Their faces as well as body denunciation in truth demonstrated them clearly. It seems like a complete village in a RTM as well as TV3 hated those who oppose Barisan Nasional (BN) as well as Umno.

Their motives have been clear, to teach hatred as well as difficulty upon a people as well as a complete nation.

Despite so most complaints as well as reports lodged opposite these dual TV stations for their feign as well as built reports, you have nonetheless to see any movement taken opposite any of their editors, writers or headlines readers or whoever have been responsible for such an irresponsible publicized report.

We remember, when there is a headlines published in a Chinese press which is deemed critical to a BN estalishment, a home method was! discern ing to summon a editor-in-chief to a method for reason as well as to get a rebuke from a ministry's enforcement officials.

Then upon a next day, a dir! ectors o f which journal decided to postpone a editor-in-chief for dual weeks awaiting made during home inquiry onto a little reports which he purported to had approved for publication.

In an additional case, an editor of a Chinese denunciation air wave station was summon to a home method for deliberately asking questions which have been deemed critical to a BN government. Later on, he was asked to resign from his company.

But whatever RTM, TV3 or Utusan Malaysia were doing, even if they had went opposite a law or simply their own formula of ethics in journalism, you don't see any movement taken opposite them during all until today, notwithstanding demand from a general public to do so.

There is no need to ask why, why, or because is it so astray or whatsoever it is. We all knew it in a initial place, these traditional mainstream medias has been a categorical as well as direct broadcasting collection of Umno as well as BN all this while.

Whenever Umno or BN ticks, they have been to pierce as they command. Even if they have been wrong as well as opposite a journalistic veteran formula as well as conduct. Even if it is going opposite a principle of being a good journalist, it has to be carried out. An Umno or BN sequence is an sequence they have to conform it no make a difference what it takes.

And so, all these reporters operative for RTM as well as TV3 or even Utusan will have to take as well as swallow it bitterly, unless they have been a little who adore to do it because of their faithfulness to a statute elites in Putrajaya.

So a subject of either a government, particularly a home method is going to call them up or rebuke them or differently does not occur during all, as authorit! ies will not do it anyway.

The government is still BN as well as a BN is still under Umno. Umno reigns autarchic over a others. You like it or not, that's an order, this is what a report apportion had stressed previously.

So, "kalau nak cari makan, kena ikut arahan buta-b! uta laa" , according to a single RTM contributor when asked about this.

What you have been suggesting is, "Change a Government first!" Only afterwards a complete machine will be overhauled as well as clean up. In this case, go get as well as convince a voters initial before it's too late.

Weak, corrupt and untrustworthy - three words that mar 54th Merdeka

Although you do not agree with much of the Perak Muftis past statements, you am prone to await the little of his ultimate comments which the Malay split is caused by the diseased government, corruption as well as miss of trust.

Racism is display the ugly face everywhere. Not usually have been the Malays racist, though the Chinese as well as well as so have been the Indians. Whether the supervision realizes it or not, it has depicted Malays by virtue of their bumiputra standing as having some-more privileges than the others. Obviously, the non-Malays have been not happy as well as wont consider twice to voice their disapproval any more. They have the notice which Malays have been lazy, preferring an easy carefree hold up without violation the sweat. Depending upon supervision crutches instead of working tough for the living. Overly eremite as well as without the sense of humour. What could be so wrong?

Ong Tee Keats matter upon Wikileaks which the MCA cannot contend which Chinese have been marginalized in this nation is an additional example of the arrange of promotion the supervision has insisted upon spreading. To the BN, the people have been stupid as well as cannot consider for themselves. Hence, the Chinese were never marginalized, as well as neither were the Indians. In fact, there was no marginalization of the minorities during all. The bulk of the resources simply went to the select few in UMNO during the responsibility of everybody else. And this included the Malays of the nation. Everyone was marginalized! So this is because Tee Keat was wrong. Practically everyone, not usually the Chinese, have been marginalized in M! alaysia.

The charade continues

So upon the diversion by the ruling elite goes. The Chinese consider bumiputras have it easy as first-class citiz! ens, whi le Malays perceive non-Malays as receiving away their special rights. Malays also have to be wary of non-Muslims as the supervision by the network of Muftis or clerics have been training them which to associate with non-Muslims will affect their aqidah (faith).

This total divide-and-rule charade went upon unnoticed until Malaysians realised which it wasnt usually UMNO which had taken them for the ride. MCA as well as MIC as well were the main culprits for the grand Malaysian divide. Yes, BN was united, they were all brothers-in-arms, comrades to the Tee, as well as zero could order their special bond cemented by the lust for energy as well as the material life. Indeed, for them to survive, the people must sojourn divided.

This notice went upon until the Malays got tired of watchful as well as shifted their await to PAS as well as PKR. The Chinese as well gave up upon the MCA as well as incited to the DAP, whilst the Indians proposed to embrace Hindraf.

So today, BN really has got the complaint upon their hands. Their efforts to separate Malaysians have been failing as well as they will not get to order for really long if Malaysians become some-more united. Thats because it was so important to stress upon Malay togetherness instead.

That is also because Bersih should not be authorised to evolve further. It might usually be about the giveaway as well as fair election, though the 50,000 Bersih marchers consisted of all races. Religion does not come into play. The camaraderie during the impetus is zero short of miraculous, when skin colour, eremite ideology as well as informative divides have been abandoned as they assimilated hands to indicate out their demands, whilst dodging the complicated teargas smokescreens as well as chemical-laced H2O canons.

Exciting unity

< p>If Malaysians ever find out which it is exciting to unite, as well as what the disturb it is to share, there will be no turning back. There will be no some-more enmity, spite, possessiveness or sin in being able to embrace any other as subsequent to citizens of this country.

Pakatan Rakyat seems to share these same ideals, as well as the good many have been beginning to realise ! the fals e notice concocted by the BN to dope the nation. BN as well is not dense. They do not feel confident enough this time, as well as they have been receiving steps to address the situation.

But instead of perplexing to win behind the citizens await by domestic tact, they have motionless to attack the credibility of domestic leaders such as Anwar Ibrahim (PKR) Lim Guan Eng(DAP) as well as Mat Sabu(PAS). Seriously, could you design the BN to come up with something some-more innovative?

Anwar, Lim as well as Sabu have been 3 of the most respected leaders in the Opposition as well as the biggest stumbling blocks to the ambitions of the BN. Destroying their characters might pierce Malaysians to reconsider BN, or so their advisers as well as strategists believe.

Weak, hurtful as well as untrustworthy

So it is which upon the 54th birthday of Independence from the British order which the Malays have been still disunited as well as largely because of 3 factors which Harussani mentioned - for whatever reasons which he suddenly motionless to do so.

Firstly, the supervision is weak. It is still incompetent to benefit the full certitude of the Malays after all these years, as well as thus needs to go upon to curry foster from them.

Secondly, the supervision is corrupt. Cases which engage small amounts such as the Teoh Beng Hock case, the MB Khalid Ibrahim box upon cows as well as car upkeep repairs, as well as the ultimate Mat Sabu box upon sanatorium bills, all have front page news. Yet, the billions of ringgit which have left missing have been marked No Furthe! r Action as well as most complaints never ever have it to court.

Thirdly, the miss of certitude for the BN, as well as this will again be put to test when the subsequent General Election comes along.

Politically Malaysians have been some-more or reduction similarly divided. As of 2008, 48 per cent of the citizens thinks which the Barisan Nasional supervision sucks! But still 52% believes in the ruling coalition, so all is not all which bad for BN - yet.

Whoever wins the subsequent choosing depends entirely upon the sentiments of the elect! orate, the nd if Malaysians consider which BN is the improved coalition, who have been you to criticize? But come the 55th year of Independence, you can usually hope which Malaysians have been the happier lot than they now are. Without the assimilated vision, what arrange of nationhood is there to seek, much reduction cheer about.

The honeymoon period is the best time

The Malaysian electorate have been a really generous lot during a honeymoon duration (like 1955, 1964, 1974, 1978 as good as 1982) though will retaliate a statute celebration when there is inner struggle (like 1969, 1990 as good as 1999). So, when Malaya saw independence, when Malaysia was formed, when Malaysia had a brand brand new Prime Minister as good as a Prime Minister was still in his honeymoon period, etc., a statute celebration would do well. When a statute celebration is confronting inner struggle or a honeymoon was over, it suffers.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

In 1955, during a initial municipal elections to be reason in Malaya, a Alliance Party won all though a single of a 54 seats contested. This was due to a Merdekaeuphoria.

In 1957, Malaya gained autonomy or Merdeka.

In 1959, dual years AFTER Merdeka, during a initial parliamentary elections to be reason in Malaya, a Alliance Party won usually 74 of a 104 seats as good as 52% of a renouned votes. The statute celebration mislaid thirty seats since dual years BEFOREMerdeka it mislaid usually one.

In 1963, Malaysia was formed, as good as in 1964 a Alliance Party recovered. The statute celebration won 89 of a 104 seats contested as good as roughly 59% of a renouned votes.

In 1969, a Alliance managed usually 95 of a 144 seats. The renouned votes additionally forsaken to below 50%. The Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, was forced to renounce shortly after that.

In 1974, shortly after Barisan Nasional was formed, a statute celebration won 135 of a 154 seats. The renouned votes additionally increased to roughly 61%. But this time it was underneath a brand brand new Prime Minister, Tun Abdul Razak -- a second Prime Minister of Malaysia.

In 1978, a statute celebration won! usually 130 of a 154 seats contested. The renouned votes forsaken to roughly 57%. This was underneath a third Prime Minister, Tun Hussein Onn, who had taken over mor! e than a year progressing (he waited too long to reason a election).

In 1982, a statute celebration won 132 of a 154 seats as good as roughly 61% of a renouned votes. This was additionally underneath a brand brand new Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad -- a Fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia, who took over usually a couple of months prior to a elections.

In 1986, a statute partys opening declined slightly. It won usually 148 of a 177 contested as good as less than 56% of a votes.

In 1990, a choosing reason after a Umno predicament -- which resulted in a separate into Umno Baru as good as Semangat 46 -- a statute partys opening declined serve to 127 of a 180 seats as good as about 53% of a renouned votes.

In 1995, a statute celebration recovered as good as won 162 of a 192 seats as good as roughly 65% of a renouned votes, partly because a antithesis was in chaos. Semangat 46 sealed down shortly after which as good as many of a leaders/members rejoined Umno.

In 1999 (due to another separate in Umno as good as a arrangement of Parti Keadilan Nasional) a statute partys opening declined to 148 of a 193 seats as good as usually 56% of a renouned votes.

In 2004, a statute celebration recovered as good as won 198 of a 219 seats as good as some-more than 64% of a renouned votes. This was underneath a brand brand new Prime Minister, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who took over usually a couple of months prior to a election.

In 2008, a statute celebration won usually 140 of a 222 seats as good as usually 52% of a renouned votes. Tun Abdullah was forced to renounce shortly after that.

The Malaysian electorate have been really a generous lot during a honeymoon duration (like 1955, 1964, 1974, 1978 as good as 1982) though will retaliate a statute celebration when there is inner struggle (like 1969, 1990 as good ! as 1999) . So, when Malaya saw independence, when Malaysia was formed, when Malaysia had a brand brand new Prime Minister as good as a Prime Minister was still in his honeymoon period, etc., a statute celebration would do well. When a statute celebration is confronting inner struggle or a honeymoon was over, it suffers.

Najib Tun Razak took over in 2009, some-more than dual years ago. He shou! ld have called for a ubiquitous choosing whilst he was still enjoying his honeymoon similar to what Tun Razak Hussein, Tun Hussein Onn, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as good as Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi did.

Now, a honeymoon is over. People do not love Najib as most as they did when he initial took over as Prime Minister behind in 2009. And, as a statistics above have shown, once a honeymoon is over, you no longer get a peoples support.

Najib would have done improved if he had called for a 13th General Election behind in 2010. If he waits till 2012 or 2013, he is going to humour (by then he would have been PM for 3 or four years respectively). And a longer he waits a worse it will be for him.

For a opposition, it is improved which a ubiquitous choosing is called later rsther than than sooner. In fact, if a choosing is reason now, it will be a 50:50 situation. Both a antithesis as good as a statute celebration will face an ascending task.

Back in 2010, a antithesis would not have performed so well. The statute celebration would have been able to recover some ground it mislaid in 2008. In 2012 or 2013, a antithesis will be able to perform better.

So, time is on a side of a antithesis as good as a longer a time, a better. Time is not in Najibs favour as good as a longer a time, a worse it is for him.

That is what a statistics show as good as statistics do not lie.

Malaysians mark independence in shadow of ethnic distrust

By Julia Yeow, M&C

As Malaysians mark a 54th anniversary of their independence, a usual resplendence as well as pageantry comes during a time of increasingly moving secular as well as eremite relations.

Malaysia prides itself upon a thriving multicultural society as well as a leisure of sacrament opposite a backdrop of a majority-Muslim population, though secular tensions have always simmered under a peaceful surface of this relatively prosperous South-East Asian nation.

Ethnic Malays, who have been almost all Muslims, make up about two-thirds of a population, whilst secular Chinese as well as Indians who have been largely Christians, Buddhists as well as Hindus, constitute a vast minority.

A consult conducted by eccentric polling group Merdeka Center this year suggested which a series of Malaysians who felt which secular family were great had dropped to 66 per cent, from 78 per cent five years ago.

The check additionally showed a quite high level of dread among Malaysians of different secular backgrounds.

'In a view, a consult commentary simulate a significant change in Malaysian open thinking - a confidence of a mid-2000s appears to have since approach to increased insecurities as well as distrust, which is in partial due to a stream rival domestic environment,' a centre pronounced this month after a consult results were announced.

Race as well as sacrament have always been supportive issues here, though interracial clashes in recent years have exacerbated a growing secular order as well as non-Muslims increasingly complain of having their rights trampled upon by a majority-Muslim government.

Last year, a Home Ministry appealed opposite a High Court preference to allow non-Muslims to use a word Allah to mean God, a statute which had riled most Muslims.

The box led to during least eight churches being attacked, together with on! e in a c apital Kuala Lumpur city which was firebombed.

No casualties were rep! orted in any of a attacks, though most observers remarkable which a incident brought to light a fragile as well as moving relations inside of multi-religious Malaysia.

Despite Prime Minister Najib Razak's settled commitment to shutting a secular order since he took bureau in 2009, Malaysia's political, preparation as well as economic structures go upon to be deeply confirmed along secular as well as eremite lines.

Since a independence from Britain in 1957, Malaysia has been ruled by a National Front, a bloc of 14 race-based parties, all claiming to represent as well as fight for a cause of specific secular groups.

Adding to a consistent sign of secular division is a decades-old affirmative movement plan, a New Economic Policy, which favours Malays.

The worrying level of secular tensions of late has been blamed largely upon irresponsible politicians playing a competition card.

Government policies upon almost each area - from preparation to economic as well as electoral remodel - go upon to be 'articulated from an secular framework, rather than seeking to find commonalities,' pronounced Denison Jayasooria, a lead researcher in secular studies in a National University of Malaysia.

'This articulation as well as a attempt to champion secular policies has had an impact upon contemporary Malaysian society,' Denison said.

A check conducted by a Merdeka Center in August additionally suggested which Najib's recognition has suffered, with his approval rating dropping 6 commission points over a period of three months from May.

While a rising price of living as well as continued concerns of a high crime rate were some of a major reasons for a drop, observers remarkable which Najib's doing of secular as well as eremite issues in recent times may have additionally contributed to his lagging support.

His '1Malaysia' campaign, which aims to mangle down secular groups as well as emanate a si! ngle, un ifying Malaysian identity, has been criticised as false vote-grabbing after his statute bloc suffered really bad in a 2008 ubiquitous elections.

'I don! 't belie ve in Najib's 1Malaysia. It's only lip service,' pronounced Maria Hasan, an secular Malay Muslim journalist.

'The reality upon a ground is which there is an increasingly far-reaching secular divide,' she said.

Denison pronounced which whilst Najib had put in place certain remodel policies, he continued to 'remain silent' in addressing racially kaleidoscopic statements coming from members of his statute United Malays National Organisation.

But notwithstanding a grave outlook for secular as well as eremite harmony, Denison pronounced he stays hopeful which a growing series of moderate Malaysians would respond rationally to supportive situations.

'In a prolonged run, Malaysians will reject extremism of all kinds,' he said.

'The Malaysian suggestion ... will draw us towards balance.'
