Bersih video: It will come... sabar la!
A statement by Home Ministry's sec-gen Datuk Abdul Rahim Mohd Radzi yesterday failed to quash furious remarks by a Opposition as well as few NGOs that a check was simply to provide time for Bukit Aman to revise any tools that show 'police brutality'.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein had upon May 31 pronounced that video footage of a convene would be finished accessible to a open inside of two days. On Monday, he pronounced a recordings would be uploaded to a ministry's website by yesterday.
To those who have been creation such remarks, hear this - a video is essentially ready to be uploaded to a ministry's website.
However, as Rahim mentioned, it would be wiser for a Independent Advisory Panel to see it initial prior to it was released.
The method got zero to hide, as well as so is Bukit Aman. No tampering, no superimposition as well as no modifying was done. It's a strange footage from a Apr twenty-eight rally. And it has zero to do with a govt legal suit against Bersih organiser Ambiga.
But because aren't Bersih organising members like Ambiga, Anwar as well as others remained still about a video. The vigour was only entrance from some NGOs as well as pro-govt organisations, as well as NOT from a Opposition?
Even Anwar as well as Ambiga did not utter a singular word about a betrothed video. Hmmmm...

Najib: Be a Prime Minister for all people
by Editors, FreeMalaysiaToday (06-05-12)
In a democracy a will of a people a infancy as well as a minority is what counts a most
Avoid recognition if we would have peace. Abrahim Lincoln
The capitulation rating of a Prime Minister has left up as well as down. It went up with a reduce income organisation as well as down with a center category segment. Why is a premier renouned with a bad as well as downtrodden?
It is simply since a Premier gives them something good to eat to lessen a pangs of poverty. These have been typical folk who wish food, shelter, decent salary to lead a simple life. Give them carrots as well as all is well with their health as well as their votes.
People who have to struggle every day to have ends meet have been simply influenced by a sweet talk of smooth politicians. In their eyes, domestic leaders become god-like total if they come visiting, loaded with cash as well as alternative promises. The adoring crowd can see no fault in ministers with unfounded pockets. A prime apportion who waves a sorcery wand which creates money crop up in their pockets can do no wrong.
Politicians have been crafty aged devils when they wish to capture power, as well as sinister characters when they wish to keep power. When they campaign for public office, they put upon their appeal to woo, to plead, to cajole all classes of society. Once upon a commanding heights, they lay out skeleton to attack opponents as well as disillusioned adults alike. As a years hurl by, energy corrupts them positively as well as they turn ominous in order to stay politically alive. At this phase of their waning domestic career, they seek out a vu! lnerable organisation to forge a partnership.
The Prime Minister of Malaysia is pursuing a identical march of action: he is building bridges with a reduce income organisation who forms a sizeable apportionment of a electorate. Wherever he goes he throws out something good to eat to a settlers, a hard-pressed rural folk, a urban poor, a toiling workers. These have been a people who small care or least assimilate a big issues rattling a country. Shady business deals, unsuccessful corporate ventures, environmental hazards, deep-seated corruption, abuse of power, dirty politics all these unhealthy developments have small or no impact upon a every day miserable reason up of a bankrupt masses.
Limping upon crutches
The Prime Minister only has to dole out a small relief to this plentiful bad to win hero status as well as mountainous popularity. His last carrot is a inhabitant budget, a greatest basket from where he can liberally discharge some-more largesse to his hero-worshipping fans. He will propose some-more benefits but a placement will hinge upon what comes out from a ballot boxes. More gifts for a less rich category means some-more votes for a elite class. It may be good plan for a prime apportion to feat as well as manipulate a sentiments of a ignorant many but a bad tactical move to omit a groundswell of gainsay from a few.
It is a minority which can confirm a future of a country since they can seek out out a law from a lies emanating from a mouth of a government. It was a vocal couple of which dug out a mud as well as brought to light government-linked business ventures which went off tangent, counterclaim contracts which stink, stock listing which only enriches a few, tainted electoral rolls which will put some-more votes in to a pouches of a statute party. The Prime Minister did not like a insistent chant for reforms here as well as abroad since it was not music to his ears when a whole world right away knows which democracy in Malaysia is limpi! ng upon crutches.
If not for a bold mount of a minority be they typical adults or domestic opponents a country would never have well known a dark side of their leaders.
The minority, mostly from a center class, is never renouned with a establishment for standing up to what is right as well as just. It has always been personal as enemies of a state focussed upon destroying a institutions of a state. But this strident criticism does not reason water since it is these very cherished institutions which a minority is fortifying against a might of a majority. It is a infancy which mostly imposes its brutal will upon a obtuse numbers.
A good Prime Minister is one who serves all people. He cannot be roving high with only a infancy while a minority is being pummeled in to submission. In a democracy a will of a people a infancy as well as a minority is what counts a most. Trying to separate multitude in to two repugnant camps will not guarantee permanent peace.
Playing a bigger side against a smaller one is a sure recipe to almighty enmity. It serves small purpose to be a renouned prime apportion with a infancy when a minority unceasingly uncovers some-more sins of a government. Eventually, a infancy will find common cause with a minority to send a Prime Minister in to domestic oblivion.

DAP in pre-emptive strike over Bersih 3.0 video
Just hours before a Home Ministry is scheduled to recover a version of Bersih 3.0 convene footage, a DAP haslaunched a videoon a April 28 travel protest in Kuala Lumpur.
Focusing upon military brutality, a 15-minute edited video, entitled'Bersih 3.0 Semangat Bersih, Harapan Negara'(Bersih 3.0 Clean Spirit, Hope of a Nation), has Malay subtitles as well as a narrative.

"There was no reason because a military should have acted in such an assertive conform opposite unarmed Malaysians," he said.
The video, Pua said, additionally exposes a budding minister's "clear-cut discrepancy as well as hypocrisy" upon a convene for purify as well as satisfactory elections.
To back this, a footage has a shave of Najib Abdul Razak pledging publicly in Kuching, Sarawak, upon April 27, which a supervision would strengthen a safety of a demonstrators even to a border of upon condition which them with mineral water as well as food if they are thirsty as well as hungry.
During a rally, however, chemical-laced water as well as tear gas were fired during protestors upon a fringes of Dataran Merdeka, while many were allegedly beaten up by military personnel.
The DAP attempted to clear a reaction of a pro! testers in overturning a military automobile by display which a automobile had crashed in to a crowd, as well as by arguing which a protesters had suspicion which people were caught underneath a vehicle.
The footage creates a explain which several protesters had stable a patrolman in a automobile from being pounded by fellow-protesters.
Asked because a video fails to uncover a crack of a barricades during Dataran Merdeka, Pua pronounced this is an emanate subject to debate.
He al so pronounced a explain which PKR de facto personality Anwar Ibrahim as well as emissary boss Azmin Ali had since palm signals to supporters to lift a barricades, has nonetheless to be proven.
"Even if a protesters breached a barricade, which does not clear a assault opposite those who did not (do so). Why should a military go all a approach to (the) Sogo (department store) to kick up protesters?" he asked.

Reason: He was 100% for inhabitant integration of Malayans.
Reason: Notwithstanding he was overtly for Malayans as well as subsequently Malaysians living harmoniously underneath a same roof, he bears full responsibilty for ousting Onn Jaafar from his strange inhabitant noble objective.
Reason: He was substantially not comfortable with Tunku land upon to a PM's layer for as well long. Unfortunately,he was also influenced adversely by a likes as well as advice of Harun Idris as well as Mahathir as well as was convinced a Tunku was as well soothing upon a non-Malays. He motionless to overthrow a Tunku using assault upon his countrymen. He set up a NationalOperations Council (NOC) as well as initiated a NEP directed during mending a economic standing of a Malays as well as alternative impoverised Malaysianswhich should last until 1990. However, his design were later messed-up, hijacked, abused as well as lengthened by UMNOputras for anotehr twenty years ironically led by a Mamak.
Reason:He was a genuine lady who was not overtly ambitious though was firm in ensuring that there contingency be no some-more upheavals during his PMship. He arrested a arrogant miscreant Harun Idris, placed him in jail as well as set a course for a some-more stable Malaysia. Being not so creative as well as un-ambitious, he soon surrendered his PMship to Mahathir Mohammed.
Reason: He was a disastrous PM insofar as race-relations was concerned. He deliberately enforced as well as stretched upon his divide-and-rule policies upon Malaysians, tranquil a press as well as a whole supervision machinery as well as brought in illegal immigrants to shift a population demographics of Malaysians. Through all these, he banked upon a uninformed proletariat mainly a Malay kampong people'sgullibity to means his rule. Even a grand projects as well as highways that were built underneath his order were mostly crony-based or Petronas-supported as well as a people will still have to humour a effects of profitable him his share or his familily through his cronies forthe subsequent couple of decades! His legacy was a single of rash corruption, cronyism as well as failed race-relations amongst Malaysians.
Reason: He was a a single PM known best for his sleeping abilities nonetheless he was a a single who was consciously or unconsciously some-more liberal in allowingMalaysians to demonstrate themselves upon counts of inhabitant concern substantially through a influence of his son-in-law. He was a fluked-shotPM who became a single when Mahathir motionless he should have a mild deputy after carrying dual strong deputies as well as a single foremostchallenger in Tunku Razaliegh earlier. He was forced to resign by his UMNO warlords after a 308 GE debacle though along a approach he had alreadyqui etly thick with good happening during a responsibility of a diseased accountable open complement as well as a brand new mother to his heart's content.
Resaon:He is perplexing hard as PM though he is not strong enough or has a domestic will-power to strike as well as rope in thosewayward politicians andwarlords from his own party to stand out as a successful Malaysian PM. He only do not have a guts to hold himself up to perform a HusseinOnn's act. With a baggages he is privately carrying in a submarine as well as altantuya affairs, he appears during most time to be a lame-duck PMbeing overshadowed by a domineering former PM Mahathir who is now still pulling a strings from behind a scenes as well as portion as UMNO'ssupreme devout domestic head!

WAHAI RAFIZI LEMBU! SEKEJAP LU MAU PTPTN SEKEJAP LU TAK MAU, SEKARANG LU MARAH APASAL?
Melacurkini telah menyiarkan kemarahan Rafizi terhadap Menteri Pengajian Tinggi bilamana UNISEL milik kerajaan negeri sebab pelajar universiti berkenaan tak dapat pinjaman PTPTN! Eh, Rafizi jamban, itu kan ke universiti kerajaan negeri Selangor? Bukan ke kau bukan categorical bayak lagi cakap hari tu nak bagi pendidikan percuma?
Why not start dengan universiti milik korang sendiri? Apasal kau nak marahkan Khaled Nordin pulak? Kau suruhlah Khalid Gagap kasi yuran percuma untuk universiti korang sendiri tu! Tunjukkanlah contoh pada rakyat Malaysia bahawa korang boleh bagi pendidikan percuma macam yang kau cakapkan tu Rafizi!
Dari kau melalak dan marahkan Menteri Pengajian Tinggi tu, ada baiknya korang bagi yuran percuma untuk Unisel tu. Padan muka korang, hari tu bukan categorical lagi nak bagi pendidikan percuma kan? Sekarang bagi la, bukankah kau dan si Penzin cum Peliwat tu jugak menghasut bebudak lepasan U supaya jangan bayar balik pinjaman PTPTN?
So bila korang hasut jangan bayar, bebudak bahalol tu yang dah berhutang joke tak mau bayar, nak pakai duit apa lagi nak bagi pinjaman? Kalau adapun kena diberi keutamaan pada Universiti milik kerajaan Persekutuan la, kalau bagi kat universiti milik korang nanti dah tentu korang suruh jangan bayar balik kan?
Inilah masalahnya kalau separuh jantan dan separuh perempuan macam si Rafizi Lembu ni nak tunjuk hero, dia sendiri joke tak tau siapa dia sebenarnya, macamana dia nak tau pelajar nak PTPTN ke tidak? ! Sokong l a lagi si lembu bodoh yang dah kena BAFIA ni, dia dah la mereng korang layan dia lagi korang jadi SEWEL!
Oleh itu, wahai pemimjam PTPTN sekalian, kalau dah ambik bayar la balik, kesian kat adik-adik kita yang tak berkemampuan untuk belajar ke Universiti tu, jangan kerana kita suka dan seronok sebab tak perlu bayar hutang maka orang lain menderita, ingat esok benda ni boleh jadi kat anak-anak kita pulak.
Dalam Islam pun, kalau dah berhutang kena bayar balik! Fikir-fikirkanlah!
Internet Freedom: There is no turning back for 1Malaysia

Internet Freedom: There is no branch back for 1Malaysia
by Neil Khor@www.malaysiakini.com
COMMENT: Once a honour of a nation as great as a signal-call which Malaysia was truly-headed for grown nation status, a Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) as great as a in attendance guarantee of Internet leisure is right away underneath review formed upon a shift of mind by a own architect.
(Tun) Dr Mahathir Mohamad, a writer of 'Blogging to unblock', said not long ago which there should be no absolute leisure as a Internet had a "power to create problems as great as perturb people".
We already know which there is no absolute leisure as great as a singular can be sued for defamation or, as a new box reported in this headlines portal, charged as great as convicted for sedition! So, a thought which a singular can get away with publishing, disseminating or any alternative illegal activities since a singular is 'online' is a fallacy.
How come, readers contingency ask, a prophetic as great as forward-looking former PM had not anticipated a "power of a Internet"? Here was a hold up of giveaway debate during a Abdullah Ahmad Badawi supervision who resorted to a Internet to highlight a shortcomings of his inheritor since there were assumingly no alternative platforms for him to air his views.
Of course, Mahathir a blogger used a Internet unequivocally great to "create problems as great as perturb people" against former premier Abdullah. He is not shy to go u! pon aggr essive his inheritor and, in Johor recently, he still attributed BN's weakness to a Abdullah legacy.
Mahathir additionally added, for great measure, which a Internet needs to be curbed to "prevent all this pollution (pornography) from entrance in to a country". All this sounds unequivocally hollow especially when everyone knows which they can get access to all sorts of pollution in a pasar-malam as great as even a little vital selling complexes. It has been this way for a past decade as great as Malaysians have not gone sex-crazy for it.
Perhaps what is similarly dangerous for a rakyat is all a Wikileaks-type of revelations about corruption which is destroying domestic careers as you speak. Surely this is a great thing?
More to do with BN's loss of support
Obviously, this remarkable shift of heart about a Internet has some-more to do with a BN's continual loss of await rsther than than a dignified standards of Malaysians. The wearing away has been so bad which by 2008, a ruling coalition actually lost a two-thirds majority in parliament. All polls, supervision related or otherwise, prove which a BN has lost a middle-ground permanently.
The Internet, as Mahathir knows, is partial of a advances in digital technology. It is irreversible as great as a changes compared with this new middle of information exchnage have been permanent. Governments around a world, China included, have had to conform as great as shift their style of governance.
Even a many conservative governments similar to Burma have taken steps to open up as great as enter upon upon domestic change. The nation used to check each singular email which was being sent out as great as a little emails never reach their destinations since supervision censors were so overwhelmed which they simply deleted messages.
But a volume is so vast as great as a record so pervasive which even Burma motionless which it was improved to stick upon a r! est of a universe rsther than than risk a violent overthrow similar to in a Middle-East.
Perhaps in this arena, comparison politicians similar to Mahathir as great as Rais Yatim need to give a wider berth to Najib Abdul Razak. The PM has a unequivocally strong personal rating since he engages with his public.
Obviously, as Mahathir himself said, Najib has to understanding with a lot of legacy issues including those from Mahathir's 22-year rule.
It is improved for a supervision to understanding with a wearing away of await by way of supervision mutation rsther than than receiving draconian as great as roughly Luddite-type attitudes similar to internet censorship.
Of course, a Malaysian Communications as great as Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is already observant which you need to distinguish in between "censoring" as great as "enforcing a laws of a land". The reality is which a BN-led supervision continues to humour from a predicament of credibility as great as a actions these past few months have not combined many public certainty in a capability as great as a capability of a agents to be impartial.
Content some-more critical than a medium
But many importantly, Mahathir as great as those who consider similar to him contingency be reminded which a Internet is merely a middle of information exchnage as great as a calm as great as a chairman upon condition which a calm is far some-more critical than a middle itself.
Create all a firewalls though it will not ebb a wearing away of await a BN is pang from since there is right away a unequivocally serious predicament of certainty in a capability of a supervision to lead a country, conduct a economy as great as quarrel corruption.
The supervision is additionally perceived to be interested only in taglines as great as smashing pronouncements. The mutation which it is suspect to move is not felt upon a ground. Yes, a economy seems to be growing during a full of health gait according to Bank Negara, as great as all a statistics prove which you have been you do okay though similar to in many high-middle income economies, a real improvements in vital standards is felt often by a high-income groups.
At a time of a creation of a Communications as great as Multimedia Act of 1998, there was each reason to believe which a Internet need not be censored as great as Mahathir probably believes which those who make use of a Internet would be middle-class, prepared as great as had a best interests of Malaysia during heart. This was a duration in time when it seemed impossible for a BN to lose a middle-ground, who cherished stability over all else.
But fourteen years later, a different era of Malaysians has come of age as great as a Internet became their elite middle of information exchnage as Mahathir envisioned. Malaysia is a richer as great as some-more materially-advanced country, with a bulk of a race vital in urban areas.
But an variable consequence has occurred this new era of Malaysians began to have aspirations over a car, condominium as great as cash. They want all of those things as great as more.
Beyond small middle-class aspirations is great governance, a accomplishment of a guarantee of a satisfactory as great as equitable society which Mahathir betrothed in Vision 2020. This is a type of end which has brought Mahathir's own daughter to a streets during a new BERSIH rallies.
It is unequivocally not sufficient to attempt to put a Internet genie back in to a s! elf-evid ent bottle. The supervision has to hold fast to a commitments to Malaysians as great as truly transform, getting their act right before a subsequent ubiquitous elections as great as run a risk of losing even some-more seats in Parliament.
