London chants to Our March for Democracy
Freemalaysiatoday commentary(05-29-12)
A Prime Minister in Malaysia is a master in his home though when he goes abroad he has no home to protect him from a rough weather outside.
On his own shores he wields substantial energy as well as can command a state to do his bidding whenever he wants to advance his domestic bulletin as well as interest.
He can order a Police to kick up adults to a pulp. He can approach a army to stop his opponents from gaining power. He can do a thousand as well as a single foul things to stay in bureau opposite a wishes of a people. Nobody can touch a strand of his hair. He is a lord of all he surveys.
But when he flies to a faraway land, he loses his aura of invincibility. He is unprotected to criticisms as well as can turn a target of protests. And so it was with a Prime Minister of Malaysia when he stepped upon British dirt lately. At home he dealt harshly with a renouned transformation for reforms as well as used a newly enacted law to moment down upon his domestic opponents. His supervision even sued a organisers of a Apr 28 convene for their troubles. He must have patted himself upon a behind for playing a purpose of a saviour.
Abroad, his drastic acts did not cut ice with Malaysians who know a crackdown upon a protesters in Kuala Lumpur upon Apr 28 was not a right thing to do. They heckled him, chanting a domicile mantra which he eventually could not ignore. There was no a single to shield him from this sudden breeze of breeze which blew by a hall. He listened during close buliding a cry which shook his nation not as well long ago. He! could n ot close his ears or close his eyes.
This is London where there have been no walls to imprison a minds or dull a human spirit. This is not Kuala Lumpur where minds have been shackled as well as bodies trampled upon. This is Britain where domestic energy changes palm as often as a deteriorate when voters had had sufficient of a incumbents. This is not Malaysia where Prime Ministers as well as their cronies seem to own a nation as well as will do everything in their energy to adhere to their wealth, perks as well as positions. The finish justifies a equates to here.
The London protest signals an important change in a attitude of Malaysians abroad. They have been peaceful to plainly confront their Prime Minister to show their exasperation over diseased domestic developments behind home. By which confidant act, they have destroyed a myth which a Prime Minister is untouchable by virtue of his high hire in life.
More importantly, a message conveyed is which there have been Malaysians who have been peaceful to lift a torch of gainsay upon a world theatre as well as loudly proclaim their oneness with their associate adults fighting for a clean means upon a domestic front. For sure, Malaysians who dauntless rip gas, H2O cannons, military beatings will not be alone in their campaign for a improved Malaysia.
All over a world people have been taking flight up opposite unfair governments after decades of odious rule. Dissent is a universal thread which runs by all societies as well as has turn a common culture. If Malaysians as well have been taking to a streets, it is simply because they have been fed up with carrying to put up with all a shenanigans, nonsense as well as lies of a supervision all these years.
The Asian culture of display apply oneself as well as obedience for those in management as well as not questioning them in open patently did not work. Instead, it has worked to a graphic value of curved politicians, who would rsther than have a resilient open blind to a m! isdeeds of a supervision than a vocal a single keeping vigilant watch upon a conduct of a government.
Malaysians abroad have taken up a call for reforms, which is a good sign which a fire of democracy will not be extinguished. The state might grind to dust a transformation for change though it cannot crush a suggestion which moves a people to challenge injustice as well as seize a day for democracy.
The Prime Minister cannot expect to get polite treatment from indignant adults overseas or zealous overpower from barbarous adults during home any more: a intone for clean governance will go on to fill a air as well as resonate all around him during home as well as abroad.
