As reported, Tourism Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen said, "The worry in credible foreigners which Malaysia is the pacific as good as fast nation is the pass barrier to them joining the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme. Street demonstrations have disastrous impact upon promotional efforts undertaken by the ministry." She should blame Malaysia Politics for the country's set-back as good as those who have gone to the streets as rabble-rousers, yet not those pacific travel protestors who have demonstrated for the great cause.
Blaming the couple of pacific travel demonstrations in the nation is not the reason as to because foreigners have been giving the cold shoulder to this country. Most foreigners together with investors do not understand Malaysia as the pacific nation though. They have been essentially disturbed by the way Malaysia Politics-led supervision handle most of these pacific demonstrations as good as tighten their eyes to those travel demonstrations which have been tempered with secular as good as eremite overtones.
The nonessential done during home intervention, blockades, the make make use of of of H2O cannons as good as rip gas by the military to sunder the throng had done most pacific demonstrations turn perplexed as good as chaotic as good as this has given bad publicity to the nation by the unfamiliar media. But when this happens, Malaysia Politics is always quick to blame the Opposition as good as the NGOs.
If travel demonstrations with eminent intentions were authorised to go upon serenely, no unfavourable incidents would have occurre! d in the country. But misguided Malaysia Politics prefers the arrogant way to stop these pacific demonstrations. Malaysia Politics uses this means as the promotion tool to demonise those people who have legitimate causes to air. The mainstream media have been exploited to the hilt to malign the travel protesters by describing them as 'traitors', 'racists' as good as even 'terrorists'. Even profane difference as good as secular slurs were reportedly used to describe the leaders of these protests. There were even reports of threats of assault upon the protestors. All this backfired when the unfamiliar media flashed the most pacific travel protests in the nation which became badly to execute the Malaysia Politics-led supervision adversely.
Street demonstrations have been singular in Malaysia, yet the open has turn some-more outspoken when the supervision does not allow the renascent Opposition as good as the little NGOs the eventuality to air their grievances democratically. No full of health open discuss between politicians is welcomed in the country. The government-controlled media have been during best used to criticise the Opposition as good as those opposite the supervision with warped views to influence the farming electorate which make up of the infancy of voters. Abuse of power, corruption as good as scandals in the supervision do not get reported in the mainstream media, as this is to create the "feel good" ambiance for the people. Even with the rise of alternative media the Opposition have been still during the disadvantage as they cannot reach the farming electorate effectively to broach their views. When the supervision ignore their plights as good as grouses they go to the streets. And the supervision has used complicated military presence to retard these rallies as good as detain criticism leaders to deter 'illegal' open protests.
The descent cow-head incident
The minister contingency have ignored the actuality thatstre! et demon strations have additionally turn the make make use of of among those who support the Malaysia Politics-led government. On 28 August 2009, the group of 50 or soMalaysianMuslims marched from theSultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosqueto the Selangor state supervision headquarters during theSultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Buildingwith the conduct of acowwhich they after desecrated an animal deemed sacred inHinduism as good as 'stomped upon the conduct as good as squabble upon it prior to withdrawal the site'. The criticism leaders were additionally reported of observant "there would be blood if the church was constructed inShah Alam".This travel proof opposite the construction of the Hindu church regulating the severed cow's conduct was highlighted negatively by general headlines reports invariably for most months.
Unfortunately, as reported the supervision minister defended which situation by saying, "The people should be authorised space to voice their opinions." Many unfamiliar media additionally criticised the reply of the military who were seen to only been standing by the side as good as allowing the protesters to stomp as good as spit upon the conduct of the cow. The minority Hindus did not reply to this situation yet the total situation depicts to the universe of the very low eremite toleration in the country.
The Hindraf 2007 pacific travel rally
In the2007 pacific Hindraf (Hindu Rights Action Force) travel proof it finished up becoming the 'brutal' affair. Riot military finished with to the stage used rip gas as good as H2O cannon to sunder the crowds. This revolting headlines was splashed via the world. Al-Jazeera's coverage of the2007 Hindraf rallyshowed military officers regulating rip gas to sunder the protesters in spite of the polite as good as courteous nature of the convene with participants carrying portraits ofQueen Elizabeth IIandMahatma Gandhi, to indicate the non-violent nature of their protes! t. 240 p eople were arrested during the furore.
When nearly 100,000 Indians as good as non-Indians converged peacefully in Kuala Lumpur for the Hindraf pacific rally, not the single racist comment was done opposite any race. They did not lift any weapon. The marginalised Indians usually longed for the better treatment from the Malaysia Politics-led government. What the bad Indians were asking was for the supervision to defend their rights to worship freely as good as for equal employment, tutorial as good as commercial operation opportunities as enshrined in the Federal Constitution.
The pacific Bersih 2.0 rally
Thefirst pacific Bersih (The Coalition for Free as good as Fair Elections) rallyon 10 Nov 2007 drew over 60,000 people. It was dispersed by military regulating rip gasand chemical-lacedwater cannons. Thepeaceful Bersih 2.0 convene theWalk for Democracy was reason inKuala Lumpur upon 9 July 2011 as good as this eventuality drew over 100,000 people notwithstanding all the disastrous promotion by the mainstream media opposite the rally. The 2011 rally's reasonable final were for the supervision to come up with the purify electoral roll, reformpostal voting, the make make use of of ofindelible ink, the minimumcampaignperiod of twenty-one days, free as good as satisfactory entrance tomainstream media, strengthen open institutions, stop corruption as good as stop dirty politics.
After consultations with the King, Bersih motionless to reason the convene in the track instead.However, their ask to useMerdeka Stadiumwas rejected by the police.Bersih accused the supervision of reneging upon the prior offer to let them convene in the track instead of the streets.
The clamp down upon this pacific convene regulating the police, rip gas as good as H2O cannons was unanimously criticised internationally. Negative headlines opposite the Malaysia Politics-led supervision was splashed over vital general media such as the Wall Stree! t Journa l, ABC Radio, theJakarta Post, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg as good as the Economist, among others They all described the convene as "part of the rising call for done during home shift in Asia" which fool around the wilful purpose in unfamiliar investment to Asian countries. The consensus seems to be which Malaysia has suffered the knock-back to the general repute as the moderate, approved country.
The peacefulAnti-Lynas rally
It was reported which the group of about 50 uncontrolled pro-UMNO thugs the little carrying Malaysia Politics flags tried to disrupt the anti-Lynas oneness gathering during Speakers' Square in Penang upon February 26. The irritation by the thugs done headlines in most vital newspapers overseas. Fights pennyless out. Media people were knocked about up by the uncontrolled thugs. Some even went to the throng to threaten them. The thugs were shouting impertinence as good as imprudent remarks about 1Malaysia as good as they additionally hurled abuse during the crowd. It was reported which dual reporters were struck with crash helmets.
On February twenty-six Reuters as good as alternative general media additionally reported the Lynas criticism in Kuantan. Thousands rallied in the Malaysian state of Pahang upon Sunday, job upon the supervision to overturn the approval for Australian miner Lynas Corp to operate the singular earths processing plant located in Prime Minister Najib Razak's base.
The convene led by environmental activists as good as opposition politicians captivated some-more than 60,000 people to Pahang's state collateral of Kuantan wearing immature T-shirts as good as chanting slogans alleging the Lynas plant could leach hot rubbish in to the environment. This proof went upon peacefully though, notwithstanding all the disastrous headlines aired the anti-Lynas leaders by the pro-government media. When the unfamiliar media praised the pacific eventuality the internal mainstream media took! an oppo site position by adverse it.
The nonessential irritation by Perkasa as good as Pekida
Apparently, both Perkasa (Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia the non-governmentalMalay Supremacy) as good as Pekida (Pertubuhan Dakwah Kebajikan Islam Malaysia) reason the couple of travel demonstrations in the past championing Malay rights as good as Islam. They were never dispersed horridly in the demeanour alternative Opposition groups or NGOs were treated with colour notwithstanding the little of the demonstrators entrance up with provocative as good as agitator racist threats. Ill-advisedly, the Najib administration has been so silent upon the most racist threats done by these 'extremist' Malay groups. The notice of foreigners is which these groups enjoy 'immunity' for their 'seditious' utterances. The society of racist comments upon Pekida's website has never been probed by the government.
The superfluous pig-head emanate as good as eremite intolerance
On Jan 26, 2010 Reuters reported which Malaysian military pronounced dual pigs' heads were found during the Malaysian mosque tighten to the community formerly hit by an secular strife following the series of arson as good as firebomb attacks upon churches.

It was additionally reported which "eleven churches, the Catholic school, the Sikh temple, dual mosques as good as dual Muslim prayer bedrooms so far have been hit by arson as good as vandalism attacks in recent weeks over the make make use of of of the word 'Allah' by Christians. The quarrel stemmed from the court ruling upon Dec 31 2009 allowing the Catholic journal to make m! ake use of of 'Allah' in the Malay-language editions of the Bible.
Racial as good as economic woes
The unfamiliar media have been crowded with reports upon secular as good as economic woes in Malaysia even when Malaysia's national tourism agency is compelling the nation as "a bubbling, bustling melting pot of races as good as religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese as good as most alternative secular groups live together in assent as good as harmony." Despite the government's much-hyped 1Malaysia slogan, secular as good as eremite tensions in the nation have been deteriorating. This is due to the unfortunate actuality which the country's leadership is tolerating, as good as in the little cases subtly inciting secular factionalism to connect their energy within the done during home party.
This unceasing wearing divided of toleration is some-more than the done during home plea for the country. The economy is influenced as well. Malaysia's economy has terribly floundered for the past decade. Malaysia needs to grow by 8 per cent per year during this decade to achieve developed standing by 2020. This turn of expansion will require vital in isolation investment from both done during home as good as unfamiliar sources. But the getting worse secular as good as eremite tensions have deterred investors from investing in Malaysia additionally causing the big collateral outflow.
Crime rates have been escalating
In the last couple of years, the unfamiliar media, especially the press, have additionally been full with reports of crime as good as assault in Malaysia. This involves normal crimes, syndicated crimes as good as borderless (global) crimes like money laundering, drug as good as human trafficking.
There have been most reports of waylay thefts, rapes as good as alternative passionate crimes, assaults as good as murders, child abuse as good as ill-treatment of unfamiliar maids, hold-ups as! good as thefts, kidnappings, not to mention countless deadly highway accidents. With this fusillade of unfamiliar media reporting, there is an air of anxiety as good as fright as to what the destiny will reason for the Malaysian society as good as subsequent peculiarity of life. It has additionally been described which Malaysia has turn the heaven for bootleg immigrants from beside as good as most far divided countries. It has been remarkable to have turn the transit point for drug as good as human trafficking. Politics as good as corruption have done the liquid of illegals in to the nation only enthusiastic notwithstanding visit reports upon this by the unfamiliar media as good as alternative social agencies.
In one internal investigate upon crime, it was reported which usually 11 per cent or the ratio of one in 10 of the respondents were not disturbed about crimes. The "victims of crime survey" as good as the "worries about occurrence of crime survey" showed which of the respondents surveyed almost 20 per cent reported they had been victims of crime. The consult additionally found which almost 90 per cent of the respondents were "worried" to "extremely worried" about the occurrence of crime in their neighbourhood. The Increase in crime rates stands during about 3 per cent the year. And the projected skill as good as violent crimes for 2010-2015 is over 200,000 to 250,000 cases. This trend is deterring the foreigners as most as the locals from creation the nation the safe breakwater for them.
Altantuya who was murdered
Altantuya was murdered in Oct 2006. It was during length reported by the general media which the murder has been tied closely to the US$ 1 billion acquisition of French submarines by the Malaysian method of defence. Altantuya presumably acted as the translator upon the transaction, which netted the association of Najib's tighten help the 114 million "commission" upon the purchase. Purportedly, she had been offered U! S$ 500, 000 for her part in the translating as good as transaction. After she was jilted, she futilely demanded payment. She was after hideously murdered as good as the body destroyed with explosives in the secluded place in Malaysia. This became hot as good as juicy headlines for the media as good as was widely reported by the vital newspapers via the world, sullying Malaysia further.
And it is Malaysia Politics-led Barisan Nasional which has to be blamed for all the predicaments the nation is facing, not those innocent citizens who go to the travel to criticism in the pacific demeanour for the justifiable cause. But this supervision lacks the done during home will to quell the most issues confronting the nation for fright which they may remove power. Instead of barking during the wrong trees, the Tourism Minister should come up with plans to purify up the mess combined by the Malaysia Politics-led supervision prior to it could convince the foreigners to love Malaysia as the stable, peaceful, crime- as good as corrupt-free country.
