Before we celebrate a 'success' as good as declare which we have 'won' as good as which we paint a infancy view, take a step behind as good as demeanour during a bigger picture. Do we unequivocally paint a infancy view? What regulation have we practical to come to which conclusion? Because 100 or 200 people who criticism inMalaysia Todaysay so? Because 150,000 people who ! marched upon a streets upon 28th Apr 2012 contend so?
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER Raja Petra Kamarudin
Say we go to a mosque each day. You go during 5.00am, from 7.00-9.00pm, as good as infrequently even during lunchtime as good as teatime, as good as for sure we will go for your Friday prayers. You will positively mix as good as interact with a congregation, might be even revisit any alternative upon Hari Raya, as good as infrequently socialize as well, plus might be do an Umrah trip together with a complete family.
Amongst all that, we would talk, discuss, debate, might be even argue, about matters of mutual seductiveness as good as concern. Sometimes we might share a same perspective as good as infrequently we might disagree. Sometimes a single side gets swayed by a alternative side as good as opinions shift or get watered down.
After, say, 5 years, we would have shaped a arrange of affability as good as would most likely determine upon most matters. Five years of communication as good as communication does which to people. If we had found a people in which mosque scornful as good as their opinions revolting, we would have long ago deserted which mosque as good as would have changed on. The fact we stayed meant which there were a little things in usual which we share.
Say we go to a drink gymnasium each day after work. You practically live in a drink gymnasium as good as the! re was m ost a time when a drink gymnasium owners had to ask which we all leave as good as go home given he or she needs to close up as good as concede a staff to go home.
The drink gymnasium is roughly similar to your second home, only similar to a mosque goers upon top of which we talked about. The alternative drink gymnasium assemblage have been roughly similar to family. You share stories. You plead issues. You discuss as good as even argue. There were even times when a little of these sessions finished up in sparring when a debates became as good hot as good as as good most glasses of drink had upheld over a counter.
Some of a pubkakiwho did not similar to a discussions as good as who did not determine with a opinions being voiced have all given left. After a couple of arguments, as good as a single which even finished in blows, they left as good as never came back. They have been right away 'members' of an additional drink gymnasium down a road or in an additional part of a neighbourhood. Those who still patronise this drink gymnasium over a last 10 years or so have been fundamentally all birds of a feather. If not their feathers would have been plucked out by now.
Now, try to visualise a sentiments of a mosque assemblage which we talked about. Then try to visualise a sentiments of a pubkakiabove. Say, if we were to arrange all a mosque chaps as good as a drink gymnasium crowd in a single hall. Then we introduce a theme for debate. Say a theme we introduce is about implementing Islamic laws in Malaysia. What do we consider we have been starting to see?
we do not discuss it we which organisation is from a mosque as good as which organisation is from a drink gymnasium (for a consequence of this 'experiment' let us only contend they have been all Malays). However, from a approach a discuss is starting as good as from what is being said, we can discuss it which organisation is a mosque goers as good as which organisation is a pubkaki.!
WhenMalaysia Todaywas first launched eight years ago, it was quite a mixed bag of readers. However, over time, a certain organisation of people have dominatedMalaysia Today. And it is these people who additionally dominated a comments section inMalaysia Today.
Those who do not determine with what a readers ofMalaysia Todayhave to contend or do not determine with a views of a writers whose articles get posted inMalaysia Todayhave all given left. They no longer visitMalaysia Todayor review what is posted inMalaysia Today. It is similar to a unfolding of a mosque as good as drink gymnasium which we mentioned above. Those who do not li! ke what they listen to have all changed on. Those who sojourn have been mostly birds of a feather.
The people in which suppositious mosque upon top of suppose which they paint a infancy view. And which is given they all speak a same language. The people in which suppositious drink gymnasium upon top of additionally suppose which they paint a infancy view. And which is given they, too, all speak a same language. And a same goes for a readers ofMalaysia Today, or during slightest those readers who criticism inMalaysia Today. They, too, suppose which they paint a infancy view. And which is given they all speak a same language as well.
But have been we unequivocally a infancy view? Or have been we victims of a own propaganda?
we do not know how most people turned out for a Bersih 3.0 convene upon 28th Apr 2012. The estimates change from as low as 25,000 to as high as 300,000. Let us, for argument's sake, only put a figure during 150,000, plus-minus 50,000. And we contend which this means a infancy of Malaysians await electoral reforms.
Now, there have been 16-17 million authorised electorate in Malaysia. How do we clear 150,000 as representative of a infancy perspective of 16-17 million voters? Are we teasing oursel! ves?

Okay, we might disagree which a infancy of those who criticism inMalaysia Todayreflect this infancy view. How most comments have been we talking about? 100? 200? We have been talking about 100-200 comments amongst a readership of 500,000-750,000. At its lowest,Malaysia Todayreceives 500,000 unique visitors a month. The highest is 750,000. During elections or by-elections, it spirals to a single million, during slightest for those couple of weeks (so doesMalayskiniand all those others).
In which same context, can 150,000 marchers unequivocally be pronounced to simulate a sentiments of 16-17 million authorised Malaysian voters? Note which about 4 million of those 16-17 million did not even register to vote. Hence we can pretence which they do not caring a damn about what happens to Malaysia. And a higher commission of those who did not register is non-Malays, according to a census data recently released.
Okay, so during slightest 12-13 million or so 'concerned' Malaysians have purebred to opinion even if an additional 4 million did not bother to do so. But will all this 12-13 million essentially vote? we think which an additional 4 million of those purebred electorate will not be choosing by casting votes in a entrance general election. Only 8-9 million will be voting. Hence a sum of about 8 million authorised electorate do not caring a damn what happens to Malaysia. That is roughly 50% of a authorised voters.
Before we celebrate a 'success' as good as declare which we have 'won' as good as which we paint a infancy view, take a step behind as good as demeanour during a bigger picture. Do we unequivocally paint a infancy view? What regulation have we practical to come to which conclusion? Because 100 or 200 people who criticism inMalaysia Todaysay so? Because 150,000 people who marched upon a streets upon 28th Apr 2012 contend so?
we detect which a level of over-confidence plus a level of audacity demonstr! ated by those 100 or 200 who criticism inMalaysia Todayhas increased a lot. And this is given they have been of a perspective which they have already won? Won what? What is it which we have won?
Those people in which mosque feel which all Malaysians have been ready for Malaysia to be turned in to an Islamic State given everyone in their assemblage expresses a same views. Then, when we put them in a same gymnasium as a organisation from a pub, they unexpected realise which their perspective is not unequivocally a infancy perspective after all.
Even those 150,000 Malaysians who marched upon a streets upon 28th Apr 2012 do not share a same view. Some were there for glamour purposes -- it is 'cool' to march in a Bersih rally. Some only joined a squad -- given their squad longed for to go so they went as well. Some were genuine about wanting to see electoral reforms. Some were not even purebred to opinion or as good young to vote. Some went given they have been members of a domestic celebration as good as their celebration educated them to go so they went -- if their celebration was not concerned as good as it was a quite Bersih event they would not have bothered. Some went only to have a little fun as good as to take a little pictures. And a little went given this was a great event to run demonstration -- similar to after a football compare in a UK where they demonstration for a fun of it even if their team won a match.
Hence, at your convenience we talk or when we post comments, take note which not all share a sentiments. And if we demonstrate audacity given we suppose which everyone is with us it might create more mistreat than good.
Take a Tunku Aziz matter as a single example. Do we consider everyone is of your perspective which he must be punished for not toeing a celebration line? 100 or 200 of we commented so. But what about a more than 500,000 otherMalaysia Todayreaders who did not criticism during all? They only review as good as kept! quiet. They pronounced nothing.
What do we consider they have been thinking? You do not know given they have been not telling you. And how most of a 500,000-750,000Malaysia Todayreaders who used to await DAP will right away no longer do so given they do not similar to what we have been saying or doing with regards to a Tunku Aziz issue?
You want leisure of debate we go it. But as we always said, leisure of debate is similar to a knife. In a wrong hands it can kill. And infrequently what we contend reflects a double standards which we apply. Look during a following comment:
This will means large trade jams as good as snarl a city. Total inconvenience for a people though does "Pakatan Rakyat" care? Businesses all over Puchong will be really bad affected. Is it a coincidence which most of these traders have been Chinese? --comment by Bourne(in a article:Motorists urged to equivocate roads around Bukit Jalil Stadium Friday to Sunday)
Remember when a little people opposed a Bersih 3.0 convene upon a streets as good as referred to which it be hold in a stadium instead? They additionally used a same argument as 'Bourne' did. And a Indian traders additionally lifted a emanate of intrusion to businesses.
Your reply was which it was a stupid excuse. You additionally whacked a complete Mamak village given a couple of Indian traders pointed out which rallies as good as road closures start their business. Your reply is to curse, mock, insult as good as have secular slurs about Indian Muslims nonetheless not all Indian traders in a city centre have been Muslims.
Then there is this comment:
Fart Fart Wah, don't design so most from him. Remember a poser of his starting upon study leave whilst still holding a post of IGP? --commment by bapalah( in a article:Hanif: Let them contend what they want)
Can we see how, as a Mal! ays woul d say,sedap cakap saja? You only shoot off your mouth though even meaningful a genuine story. In short, we have been lying as good as misleading. You have been only perplexing to beget hate.
Tun Hanif was then a IGP as good as his Deputy was Tan Sri Amin. But Tan Sri Amin was comparison which Tun Hanif. Hence he would never have IGP. He would retire as Deputy IGP. So Tun Hanif took a one-year sabbatical to do law in a UK so which Tan Sri Amin could take over as Acting IGP. This was given a Deputy Prime Minister, Musa Hitam, would not concede Tun Hanif to resign to have approach for his Deputy to take over.
It was essentially a noble gesture. Tun Hanif longed for to retire to have approach for Tan Sri Amin though a Deputy PM would not concede him to do so. So Tun Hanif took one-year leave though pay to enable his Deputy to during slightest turn a Acting IGP for a year. That means Tan Sri Aman can retire with an IGP's pension.
How most people would do this? Hence credit should be given where credit is due. And even if we do not similar to which person we should not distortion about him or her. And a 100 or 200 of we who criticism inMalaysia Today, which is review by more than 500,000 alternative people who do not contend anything, might essentially be spiteful your cause. You might essentially be a means of DAP or a opposition losing quite a number of votes. And, unless this is unequivocally what we have been perplexing to do, be warned or else a day after Polling Day we have been starting to have to review an additional "I told we so" article from me.
