Bersih video: It will come... sabar la!

Some buliding are already perfectionist a Home Ministry to recover a military video-account upon Bersih 3.0. Some even indicted a method as well as a supervision of perplexing to 'tamper' with it initial prior to creation it public.

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.

Members of a row will have it initial during its assembly subsequent Monday prior to a open can see a free upsurge calm of it.

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...

F**k the (moral) police

Welcome to Malaysia!!! The usually republic bold enough to reason people of a singular largest conviction in a republic as those of diseased faith. So most so, which it is a Government's duty to have certain which they keep in line. Because these people have been assumingly easily depraved as well as have been prone to subversive elements. So to strengthen this satisfactory republic as well as its people of march (though usually a largest conviction needs safeguarding since we guess a others have been grown up enough to strengthen themselves) we have this flattering despotic complement of dignified policing. Though this usually relates to members of a singular largest conviction in a country.

Disclaimer: we am not a member of a singular largest conviction in a republic so if we do get something wrong, greatfully let me know as well as we will correct right away. Well after a little verification during least.

If we haven't Googled it yet, a singular largest conviction in Malaysia is Islam. Though we am akafir,I still feel for a village since we have a lot of close friends who have been Muslims. So here it goes. I've got zero opposite Islam. It's a flattering cool religion. Really quite compassionate. Why else would ! a earl y kingdoms of a Malay Peninsula embrace Islam? (Oklah, maybe there were a little economic benefits too though let's not excavate in to that. )

Remember when we pulled a block upon Erykah Badu's unison (after she landed in a country) since she had a temporary tattoo of a symbol for Allah upon her in a single of her manuscript covers? Remember how she got upon a flight as well as achieved during a Java Jazz Festival in a republic with a largest Muslim race upon Earth? Even nonetheless Malaysia is a physical state, it has upon a little occasions taken a harder line upon Islamic issues than many alternative Islamic states.

Recently, we might have seen a name Irshad Manji popping up. The Ugandan-born Canadian author has been in a spotlight in a neck of a woods after she got in to a sticky situation down in Indonesia. See, for once a accessible neighbours beat us to it.In Irshad Manji's case her Malaysian publisher, ZI Publications, had it's offices ! raided a nd her books were seized. Heck, her publishing house was even charged in court.

This brings with itself a issue of leisure of countenance as well as censorship. We see it time as well as time again in this country. Walk in to a film rated "18SX" as well as we still won't see any sex scenes.

The Government has been throwing around a word 'transformation' a lot these days too. ETP, GTP we've all seen it. It's as nonetheless they hired a single of those government consultants who chuck around all those buzz words as well as stuff. Here's my question: if we (Mr. Najib as well as your cabinet) want a republic to transform, because do still treat us similar to kindergarteners? Cutting out damn words from movies, banning books which we consider we shouldn't read, cinema which we shouldn't watch, music which we shouldn't listen to. What gives? An advisory rating is a rating. Don't go as well as contend it's for grown up audiences though go upon to censor it.

I got to see a trailer from a really bad sounding film Piranha 3DD. The tagline: Double a action, stand in a terrors, stand in a Ds. Instead a trailer usually had stand in a action as well as stand in a terrors. They utterly cut out a slow-motion montage ofvoluptuousbreasts. (I know this interjection to YouTube) They usually took out a biggest partial of a movie.

I know we have digressed from my main topic of dignified as well as eremite policing. The thing is, things simi! lar to c ensorship effect all strata of multitude not usually a particular group of people. we do not routinely get angry, though a thought which a someone has been put in a position to cut out information which is deemed non-professional for me (even as we proceed a age of majority) usually sets me off. If someone came up to me as well as said let me offshoot we up with a girl, nonetheless we could use a help, I'd have to decline. What puts an additional person in a position to have a decision for me?

But it is during times similar to these when we discuss it myself which during slightest we have it improved off. Because it is during this time which we remember my Malaysian Muslim friends. They have been born in to a sacrament which they cannot leave. They have been told what they cannot splash as well as when they cannot eat. Who they can marry as well as who they can't? And all this is enforced by a authorised formula which usually relates to them.

REUTERS/Bazuki Muhammad | Protesters reason placards which review "Don't Challenge Islam" in a protest opposite a "Conversion to Islam" forum held by Malaysian Bar Council in KL August 9, 2008.

I wouldn't mind if eremite policing practical to all religions. we meant certain I'd feel oppressed if my pastor sent uniformed men in to my house upon a Sunday morning to draw towards me to church though during slightest we'd all be equally oppressed. Unless we were an atheist, then we guess you'd be spared. Or maybe we could lift it off by going agnostic.

From my perspective, this paints a picture where a Muslim race of a republic has to be protected from their own thinking. Forgive me, if it sounds harsh. It places a eremite "authorities" as guardians as well as protectors of a faith, oh wait, th! at's a A gong's pursuit isn't it? we mean, come on, if someone picked up a Bahasa Malaysia or Bahasa Indonesia chronicle of a Bible as well as saw a word "Allah" in it, there's no approach they would be confused or be lead to consider which they're celebration of a mass a Quran.

But a situation around a bookAllah, Kebebasan dan Cintais pushing things too far. At slightest with a "Allah in a Bible" situation we could claim proselytising though now a "authorities" have deemed which Irshad Manji's views upon Islam have been not suitable for a republic similar to Malaysia as well as should not be authorised to penetrate a minds of Malaysians(Hitler's views have been perfectly excellent nonetheless as well as I'm quite happy about that). They've effectively allocated themselves in to a position to decide what chronicle of their own sacrament should be authorised in a country.What I'm trying to contend is, if we longed for to have a magnanimous outlook upon my sacrament be it Islam or whatever, we should a right to. we should not be utterly cut off to materials which could serve rise my thinking. You have your ideology as well as we have my beliefs.

I've had friends who have left through a lot of pique as well as tough times usually since they have been forced to follow a belief complement which they do not understand. I've had friends who've left through heartbreak since their sacrament says they can't marry someone from outside their religion. Not usually do they feel implicitly firm though they're also legally bound. Now discuss it me if that's fair. Of march it's not fair. But it's a truth. And face it you've listened worse. A little heartbreak is nothing.

*I swallow ones pride for any errors which we might done. we am not an expert in a subject though it was something which I'd been wanting to write for sometime. If there have been aspects of Islam as well as local! Syariah Laws which we might have misinterpreted, greatfully alert me as well as we will redress it. - Loya! rburok

Profits, not quality, matter to Umno

All things considered, Najib Tun Razak understands which the GTP as well as ETP have been not creation any genuine converts of people.

COMMENT

Are the days of people disappearing off the streets or being picked up in the early hours of the sunrise from their homes as well as hold though assign or hearing right away over in Malaysia?

Is the Internal Securities Act (ISA) really history? Will there be any some-more incidents of PDRM beating the people meaningless as well as revolting them with tear gas as they assign in to crowds of overpowered Malaysian exercising their civil rights to uncover their await for or opposite causes they hold in?

Or will there be the lull as the budding apportion ponders the odds of an choosing defeat?

Will Najib Tun Razak understand which beating his own people meaningless is not the approach to accentuate his party's chances of winning the 13th ubiquitous election?

Your guess is as great as mine!

But all things considered, Najib understands which the Government Transformation Program (GTP) as well as Economic Transformation Program (ETP) have been not creation any genuine converts of people who have been right away street intelligent to the ways of the supervision fervent to announce domestic as well as mercantile initiatives though stops reduced of creation genuine swell in the implementation.

The rakyat no longer hold Najib's 'statement of intent'.

Ultimately Najib contingency action as well as this he has unsuccessful to do, thus nullifying the primary feeling of well-being which greeted the announcement of these GTP as well as ETP initiatives.

Najib knows he needs to do more. What which 'more' is he knows though the execution is purely cosmetic as well as as well constructed to do him or Barisan Nasional any good.

BN, identical to the Titanic, is the disaster watchful to happen. And identical to the Titanic which suffered from the misplaced idea in the own indestructibility, Umno steams ahead preoccupied to it's imminent demise.

Simply because Umno believes it is as well large to fail. But PKFZ, Bank Bumiputra as well as multinationals identical to Exxon as well as Enron, were all as well large to failbut unsuccessful they did.

BN as well as Umno proposed to destroy in the time of former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. It proposed to destroy because the checks as well as balances opposite allowing the budding apportion to have unbridled domestic energy was distant with the greatest of palliate by Mahathir with BN's dual thirds infancy in Parliament.

All alternative domestic parties, including Umno as well as the coalition partners in BN became irrelevant as domestic energy were hijacked by Mahathir for himself.

Thievery safeguarded by OSA

Imagine if you will the budding apportion running amok because he can. No check as well as balances as education, population, as well as economic, racial as well as eremite idea posts were moved to fit Mahathir's grand though flawed vision of Malaysia with himself as the only exponent.

And what grand as well as flawed visions they were. Grandiose monument which serves to accelerate Mahathir's vision of 'Malaysia Boleh' with not much suspicion given to the monetary burdens such monuments would perpetually impose upon his own people.

The country embarked upon mega projects which Mahathir insisted were tailormade for his vision of Malaysia Inc. But in being these projects were also the equates to for the domestic elites as well as their cronies to enrich themselves as ! Mahathir looked upon benignly.

The BN supervision decided which the plundering as well as pillaging of the inhabitant wealth by Malaysia Inc. was something which indispensable to be kept from open knowledge by insisting which there were all the matter of 'national security'.

Thus these obvious acts of crime of the nation' wealth were kept from the open by the Official Secret Acts (OSA) as well as alternative identical mechanism which merely served to continue as well as inspire the bacchanal of monetary waste.

Mahathir criminally abused this heady reduction of domestic energy as well as access to vast monetary resources as well as 'fail safe' business opportunities for the role of enriching those he suspicion deserving of his largesse.

The successes of these Malaysia Inc. projects were superficial though the monetary burden imposed upon the republic was real.

One alternative great Mahathir's disaster watchful to happen is Proton.The whole automobile attention was incited upon the conduct to column up Proton.

Proton proposed with the crash as well as right away whimpers the approach by losses year in as well as year out though much goal for recovery though identical to Umno, it was pronounced which Proton was as well large to fail! Really?

Blind, tongue-tied as well as deaf

Where has all the frenzy to buy Proton cars left to? Every prolongation needs of Proton became the approach of creation money for those with the strings to pull in Umno as well as Putrajaya.

The rich, the powerful as well as the politicians sat down together as well as widely separated the Proton rob amongst themselves with or though Proton at the discussion table.

One of them manufactures the motor fuel tank, the alternative reserve the automobile mats, another the exhaustand the list goes on. And once these products were fabricated together it became the Proton set up of to! ols wher e profits, not peculiarity mattered an fast Umno trait.

And after the primary couple of years of road use, the Proton invariably proposed to tumble apart because Proton was treated as the money cow rsther than afterwards the automobile production regard where peculiarity control as well as R&D growth should have been the main regard of the government rsther than afterwards the competition to make money out of the inhabitant automobile project.

All these tales of monetary mismanagement as well as domestic abuse have been right away familiar tales which abounds within Umno as well as BN.

You would have to be blind, tongue-tied as well as deaf to not know where responsibility for this litany of rapist rubbish of the inhabitant resources lies.

Umno may select to be blind, deaf as well as tongue-tied when confronted by Proton failures though the people have been not. We see, you hear as well as you will not be silent.

Nor will you be silenced any more about this massive monetary burden which has been imposed upon us by Mahathir.

Pundits still not betting on MCA

Despite a money, machine as well as media, a celebration is still seen as having a poor possibility of making a comeback in a 13th GE.

The ubiquitous idea in between observers of Malaysian politics is which a MCA will go in to a next polls with a most 0 possibility of scoring a respectable win in a parliamentary contests within a Klang Valley.

Even seasoned pundits have been observant which a die is cast as well as Barisan Nasional's second largest celebration will humour an additional electoral blow. One observer expressed his view in a difference of an aged Chinese saying: "Mu yi cheng zhou." (The timber is already made in to a boat; what is finished cannot be undone.)

Party boss Dr Chua Soi Lek is not a kind of male who would goal for a divine breeze to turn MCA's lessen in to a rising tide. He would rsther than put his conviction in a energy of a 3 Ms: money, machine as well as media. His celebration certainly has plenty of those.

But what good have been a 3 Ms to MCA if it does not have electoral support? That is similar to being wealthy though dead.

Chua has been listened to boast which he could have a unfit possiblein a tacit reference, perhaps, to his victory in a final MCA presidential choosing notwithstanding a taint of a sex scandal.

Can Chua win all a time? His clandestine campaign activities opposite Ong Ka Ting as well as Ong Tee Keat for a presidential choosing carried a thesis "Save MCA". It is ironical which a same clarion call has come back to haunt him as a ubiquitous choosing approaches.

Is it kismet in a making? Can he save MCA during a entrance polls?

Fo! r a star t, can he harmonise an effective team to assistance BN recapture Selangor or during slightest score a respected series of parliamentary seats in a Klang Valley?

In 2008, a celebration won only a Pandan parliamentary chair out of a 7 it contested in Selangor. It mislaid all five parliamentary seats in a Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory. The swing opposite MCA was 26% in Selangor as well as 17.3 % in Kuala Lumpur. Many of a own members voted opposite it.

This may insist a brand new shameless pierce to buy votes a la Najib Tun Razak. MCA members elderly 60 as well as upon top of have been since a token total of RM100 as well as other members have been entitled to giveaway accident word for a single year.

With 45.3% of celebration members elderly 46 years as well as upon top of as well as an additional 28.3% in between a ages of 36 as well as 45, a bulk of a membership is middle-aged. Those below 21 years aged barely have up 1%. With such demographics, a single could say which a celebration is out of sync with a flourishing immature urban population.

Despite Chua's own confidence which MCA can perform better this time than in 2008, a view upon a belligerent is bleak.

Beating a dead horse

The 2008 tsunami was a true shocker if a single were to consider how well a celebration performed in 2004. It completed completed an 82.3% winning rate by capturing a total of 31 parliamentary as well as 76 state seats out of 40 as well as 90 respectively.

Many have been observant a electoral landscape has irrevocably tilted opposite MCA since 2008 as well as Chua is perplexing to revive a equine which he thinks is sick though is essentially dead. The Chinese proverb "si matriarch dang huo matriarch yi" aptly illustrates this futile act.

But Chua's prime Chinese observant seems to be "you qian neng shi gui tui mo"with money, anybody can have a devil pull a grindstone. Hence a billions of! ringgit in handouts. This is substantially what is meant by bread-and-butter issues.

Another cause which MCA is betting a choosing by casting votes fitness upon is a "candidate selection factor".

In Kuala Lumpur, Chua may pull off a surprise by fielding a immature candidate, Tan Kok Eng, a son of Tan Chai Ho, who has served as deputy minister in countless portfolios as well as is now a party's treasurer-general.

The preference of chair for a immature Tan is similarly surprising. It is Kepong, a parliamentary chair now allocated to Gerakan, though which which celebration mislaid to DAP's Tan Seng Giaw in 2008 after winning it in 7 uninterrupted elections.

Kepong is a single of a largest Chinese-majority areas in a country ethnic voters. According to a top celebration insider, MCA hopes which winning it would be a mental progress which competence assistance detain a unpopularity slide.

A tighten aide of Chua's, Theng Book, will be fielded for a Bandar Tun Razak parliamentary seat, now hold by Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim.

Chua may retain some aged parliamentary possibilities in Selangor. According to insiders, Loh Seng Kok is sloping to competition in Kelana Jaya as well as Yap Pian Hon in Serdang.

"The claimant list is in a state of flux," Chua has said.

Will Ong Tee Keat be selected to competition again in Pandan, a only parliamentary chair in Selangor which MCA won in 2008? Will Donald Lim Siang Chai, MCA Selangor arch as well as Deputy Finance Minister, be retained to competition in a parliamentary seat? Sources say it is either him or Jessie Ooi for Selayang.

Teh Kim Poh was originally in a rough list for Klang. But similar to a MCA boss himself has said, he could have been "allegedly dropped".

The list of possibilities is pronounced to embody several brand new faces from Wanita MCA: Chew Hong Leng for PJ Utara, Teh Hwi Leng for Klang, Wong Fong Leng for PJ Sela! tan and, as referred to above, Jessie Ooi for Selayang. It is rumoured which Nicole Wong will be fielded in Seputeh, now hold by DAP's Teresa Kok.

Are these winnable possibilities for MCA? Surely, their names contingency have been "tested" for feedback in a quiet consult by MCA as well as by intelligence reports ordered by aloft ups in a BN heirarchy.

"Rensuan bur u tiansuan," as a observant goes. Man proposes as well as Heaven disposes. Not quite, perhaps.

The signs of a times have been which a electorate will be making a decision. They competence select to take severely Chua's pledge to take MCA out of a supervision if it performs badly.

Stanley Koh is a former conduct of MCA's think-tank. He is now a FMT columnist.

Maltese company implicated in French anti-corruption sting

Opposition MP Evarist Bartolo highlights sum of ongoing general rapist review in to a formidable web of murder, amour as great as liaison in which a Maltese association is accepted to be involved.

According to a review cited by Bartolo in council yesterday, a French-owned, Malta-based monetary consultancy services called 'Gifen' is concerned in a money-laundering operation which is in spin continuous to: a 1 billion contract for a squeeze of troops submarines from France by a Malaysian supervision in 2002; allegations of a 114 million 'commission' which altered hands during negotiations in in in in between French as great as Malaysian officials; as great as - many sinister of all - a abduction as great as aroused attempted attempted murder of a Mongolian modelling tyro in Malaysia in 2006.

Raphael Vassallo, Maltatoday

Yesterday's Parliamentary contention took an astonishing turn, when Opposition MP Evarist Bartolo used his adjournment speech to highlight sum of an ongoing general rapist review in to a formidable web of murder, amour as great as liaison in which a Maltese association is accepted to be involved.

According to a review cited by Bartolo in council yesterday, a French-owned, Malta-based monetary consultancy services called 'Gifen' is concerned in a money-laundering operation which is in spin continuous to: a 1 billion contract for a squeeze of troops submarines from France by a Malaysian supervision in 2002; allegations of a 114 million 'commission' which altered hands during negotiations in in in in between French as great as Malaysian officials; as great as - many sinister of all - a abduction as great as aroused attempted attempted murder of a Mongolian modelling tyro in Malaysia in 2006.

In council yesterday, Bartolo sugge! sted how this formidable bribery/murder scenario, which has caused liaison in both Malaysia as great as France over a past decade, has right away additionally managed to finds a way here to Malta: with a Maltese association currently being investigated by French officials over allegations of laundering partial of a income concerned in this transaction..

The former Education Minister suggested how French inquiring magistrates have right away ordered a troops to beginner an general review in to a series of companies formed in France, Luxembourg as great as Hong Kong - including one in Malta - as partial of a global anti-corruption sting.

The story opens in June 2002, when, after three years of negotiations, a Malaysian supervision resolved a 1 billion understanding with French association Armaris (now DCNS) as great as Spanish naval shipbuilder Izar (now Navantia) for a squeeze of 2 SSK Scorpene submarines, as great as compared await as great as training.

The contract was sealed by Malyasia's apportion of invulnerability (now budding minister) Najib Razak, as great as allegations quickly followed which DCSN had formerly been sold confidential information relating to their bid by Malaysian companies accepted to be close to Razak.

One association named in a initial rumours was Perimekar, owned by Razak's close associate, a distinguished Malaysian businessman Abdul Razak Baginda.

But it was with a 2006 attempted attempted murder of 28-year-old Mongolian modelling tyro Altantuya Shaaribuu which suspicions of high-level corruption started to gain ground in earnest.

In Mar 2009, French Journalist Arnaud Dubus published a report in France's Liberation, citing hundreds of confidential documents, which suggested a tie in in in in between a mysterious attempted attempted murder of a student-model, as great as a 'commission' of around 114 million paid to Perimekar in tie with a Scorpene submarine deal.

The ground for Altantuya's! death w as reportedly which she had claimed a 500,000 share of a "commission" paid to Baginda (who appears to have additionally been her lover) for a squeeze of a submarines... as great as afterwards threatened to reveal all which she knew about this box if her demand was not met.

According to documents made open by French newspaper 'Liberation', Altantuya had been murdered upon a orders of Abdul Razak Baginda, who was after clear upon all charges by a Malaysian court.

However, Prime Minister Razak himself has right away been implicated in a compared bribery deal, as great as Dubus' report includes sum of content messages he had reportedly sent Baginda, which in spin strongly indicate a cover-up as great as interference with troops investigations.

The abduction itself was carried out in broad illumination in front of Baginda's house in a participation of eye-witnesses. And in a item which could easily have emerged from a James Bond movie, a perpetrators were after identified usually since a taxi-driver who had been hired by Altantuya for a day, reported a kidnapper's car licence image to a police... strictly as partial of a censure which he had not been paid for his services.

Police investigations traced a vehicle to Malaysian Special Branch police, causing embarrassment to a government, as great as awakening oddity in between a local press.

But whilst a Malaysia investigations have apparently stalled, French investigators shortly took an interest in a box which appears (if allegations have been true) to additionally indicate fingers during one of France's top names in a shipbuilding industry.

French investigating magistrates have been right away seeking in to a Hong Kong-based association called Terasasi (Hong Kong) Ltd. Abdul Razak Baginda is listed as one of a two directors of a company. The other executive is his father, Abdul Malim Baginda.

Where does Malta come in?

In council yes! terday, Evarist Bartolo suggested which in between a multiform companies worldwide currently investigated by French authorities in tie with this box is Gifen: a Malta-based association founded in 2001 by Frenchman Jean-Marie Bouvin, who has prolonged been compared with a sale of troops as great as defence apparatus to countries such as Malaysia, Pakistan as great as Taiwan.

On paper, Gifen offers consultancy services, as great as Bartolo said in council yesterday which a sole executive is listed as David Grech, with Noelle Grima as association secretary until Mar 2011, when Edward Attard Montalto additionally assimilated a firm.

Its auditors have been Attard Giglio as great as Co.

Bartolo noted additionally which Gifen's many active years were in in in in between 2001 as great as 2004, with an income of almost 1.5 million, whilst a registered losses took a form of 'consultancy services' as great as 'travelling expenses'.

Bartolo combined which French investigators have been currently seeking in to either Gifen was used "to promote a transformation of income concerned in this contract", as great as to compensate for travelling losses incurred by Baginda as great as Altantuya. Other companies allegedly used for similar purposes have been Eurolux (based in Luxembourg) as great as Technomar, formed in Belgium.

Bartolo further purported which Bouvin, who had founded Gifen in 2001, was really well-connected with a French secret services, as great as close ties both with (then) President Nicolas Sarkozy as great as Prime Minister de Villepin.

According to a Opposition MP, Bouvin would compensate commissions, through a association called Heine, in order to secure successful bids for open contracts.

After France sealed a UN Convention Against Corruption, Bouvin allegedly began to work though different channels - setting up companies in Ireland, Switzerland, Mauritius, a Isle of Man... as great as Malta.

Bartolo! combine d which shortcoming to umpire such operations in Malta fell to a Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit as great as a Malta Financial Services Authority, as great as which a reputation of Malta as a centre for monetary services was during stake. He reminded a Houseof a report by a Council of Europe's Committee upon Money Laundering, which had celebrated which Malya's legislation is good, but coercion is lacking.

"I do not know. If any action needs to be taken, including disciplinary actionwhy wait for until today? Even a investigating officer has upheld away" .

Why no action then, Anwar?

And to those who feel which ABU equates to get "Anwar Ibrahim" as well as BN out during all cost, irre! gardless of what you put in their place, I'll remonstrate with you, though respect your sentiments.

I ask which you also respect which I am not prepared to go to a kampungs to urge a folk there during ABU ceramah, to get rid of a hurtful "An! war Ibra him" / BN system of administration come a 13th GE, as well as yet spin a blind eye to justification which competence suggest which those to whom you propose to palm over a mantle of leadership of this nation have been no improved than a scoundrels you right away find to depose.

If you have to put a single over whom hangs a suspicion of past hurtful practices into such an bureau which lays prior to him infinite opportunities for financial impropriety, you have been certainly entitled to a single of two things from such a person.

Lay those suspicions unambiguously to rest.

Or concede us a joy which there is real as well as total regret as well as distress for those past misdeeds.

To-date, you have perceived neither.

I cannot speak for a rest of you, though I do not consider which you have been a nation devoid of men as well as woman of complete integrity suc! h which e ven as you work to rid ourselves of this most tainted as well as hurtful system of administration which right away sits in Putrajaya, you must review to replacements who cannot assure us which they have been better.

Pakatan 'violence': Najib laying the ground for a BN coup d'etat in event of GE loss?

The Prime Minister, Najib Abdul Razak, in a recent speech as reported programmed to 'quash any hazard focussed upon disrupting open order'. If Najib has a domestic will to do so afterwards this contingency be good headlines for Malaysians. As they say charity starts during home, so Najib contingency have a domestic drive to start a round rolling now.

Disruption in politics can most appropriate be defined as a situation characterised by 'provocation' mental or earthy which can equates to disturbance or open disorder. Provocation comes in many forms. And a obliged supervision contingency have a clever domestic spirit to halt all forms of threats which can interrupt open order. The regulation is rsther than simple: stop a irritation as good as there will be no disturbance or open commotion in a country.

It hurts a people more

First as good as foremost, there contingency be a domestic integrity to get Perkasa a rabble-rouser NGO as good as those of a same domestic faith with this organisation to behave. Holding furious demonstrations for domestic reasons have disturbed a brotherly people living in states won by a Opposition.

Conducting a ridicule funeral for a Penang Chief Minister in front of his home is another obvious provocation. Alas, in a little cases military inaction has caused counts to exacerbate.

Najib should go after a sponsors who have been paying a Mat Rempit to equates to trouble in states hold by a Oppositions as good as during gatherin! gs hold by a Opposition as good as NGOs.

Allowing an UMNO-sponsored ceramah to be hold nearby an Opposition ceramah is deliberate provocation. This is a desperate move by those with vested interests to see disturbance as good as open disorder. In a little past incidences flinging eggs, stones as good as H2O bottles during a crowds with a little yobs pelting stones as good as splashing paint upon vehicles of owners who attended Opposition ceramah have been all elements which can interrupt open order.

Burger stalls were set up in front of Ambiga's private home to offer her beef burgers when she is a Brahmin as good as a devote Hindu-vegetarian. Then a ex-army veterans conducted their inhuman boundary exercises in front of her home. All these have been bold irritation which has dissapoint a Indian community.

One reason for such threats to open sequence go unabated is since a authorities in charge of maintaining open sequence have been perceived as to have finished nothing element to stop a mobsters from behaving their stunts. When there is no polite will to stop threats of this nature it will hurt a minds of a people more.

Lack of domestic resolve

When there is a miss of domestic finalise to stop a little bigots from regulating competition as good as sacrament to boar loathing between a people it paves a trail to interrupt open order. Najib upon his part has not shown any overt commitment to rein in those racists who complete 'racial overtones' to describe a Chinese as good as Indians in a country.

The media has not stopped from distorting headlines as good as facts to demonise a Opposition. The showing of sexually pithy things by a media to ridicule a Opposition has not gone down good between a masses. Using helpless religious figures to foster an inanimate dom! estic pr eference finished by UMNO leaders has irritated a people more.

The UMNO-led supervision has not stopped all these pernicious as good as treacherous campaigns to depreciate a people who find social justice.

The supervision itself contingency be purify as good as not corrupt. A supervision which promotes a satisfactory policy which favours a people will entice less provocation. If a supervision is seen to be hurtful as good as practises astray policies it will undoubtedly peeve a people as good as thus entice protests.

When there is a genuine criticism for a legitimate cause, Najib has no right to stifle such a open dissent. In many countries, a treacherous supervision has invited a lot of disruption to open sequence in all when a supervision is corrupt, inept as good as a people have been being oppressed.

For instance, stop giving 'bribes' sheltered as aids to a people to win votes in elections. As this involves taxpayers' income as good as it will naturally incur a rage of a people.

Government has something to hide

In a little countries, pacific rallies have been organised to tick off a supervision of their bad policies. Failing to circle clamp such protests a authorities have known to be high-handed. They provoke pacific protesters to equates to disharmony as good as deceptively make use of this opportunity to tell a people which a protesters have been antagonistic as good as violent.

Peaceful gatherings have been authorised in any democracy. Stop inspiring these pacific protesters as they might have a little current reasons because they go to a streets. When a people find a purify electoral hurl as good as satisfactory elections it is a role of a supervision not to turn them away. Refusing them their eminent requests would usually uncover which a supervision has something to censor from a people.

There has to be a satisfactory as good as free choosing prior to charge is since to any domestic party to rule a country. It should be democratically-elected leaders by a purify electoral routine where any treacherous equates to to gain energy such regulating tainted electoral rolls should not be entertained.

When pacific rallies have been upon purpose provoked there is bound to be a little reactions from a people. If this is what is desired by a authorities afterwards censure not a people who have been provoked.

Act firmly though compromise

A supervision of a people contingency safeguard which a rights of all Malaysians as stipulated in a constitution have been since recognition. The rights of all Indigenous as good as non-indigenous contingency be sincerely attended to. The infancy competition as good as a minority races have their own rights as Malaysians.

Deserting a interests of a minorities during a responsibility of a infancy is akin to inspiring a feelings of a former.

Thus Najib should act firmly though compromise to stifle any hazard focussed upon disrupting open sequence such provocations, crime as good as a treacherous approach to politics.

Not usually contingency a rights of a infancy though additionally a minority be attended to equates to peace in society for all Malaysians to live peacefully as good as preserve democracy.

The welfare as good as resources of a people contingency be a highest idea of a supervision of a people as good as for a people, as good as not politicians. Politicians cannot be seen enriching themselves as good as their cronies when since power. They contingency be seen to put a people's interests prior to others.

The substructure of democracy from a Islamic indicate of views is not formed upon a supremacy of a infancy as good as a putting aside of a minority. Neither should there be ! supremac y of competition in Islam.

Against racial discrimination

Islam views upon injustice whether upon open or dark as an evil aspect of hold up which has to be eradicated. Differences in colour, tribes, races, or traditions have been not to be excuses for astray poise or treatment of a people. Islam is against racial discrimination:

"O Mankind, we created we from a singular pair of a male as good as a female, as good as finished we in to tribes as good as nations so which we might know any alternative (not which we depreciate any other). Verily, a many honoured of we in a steer of Allah is he who is many righteous of you." (49:13)

There cannot be a concept of competition supremacy or wickedness in any democracy. All Malaysians contingency be treated with colour sincerely as they have their rights as adults of a country. They have all contributed to a success of a country.

No imaginary groups in this nation have been formulation to fall short any alternative groups or race. No lucid Malaysian would want to urge a law of a jungle in this country. They merely want a people's voice to be listened in a approved process, as when politicians have been astray as good as a media do unilateral reporting a hostile groups have no alternative preference than to detest.

A courteous manner

The detesters might talk shrill though have been not machiavellian as good as definitely not violent. They find a infallible supervision as good as they strive for truth as good as not deceitfulness in politics which usually foster a few self-seeking individuals rsther than than a masses.

The people contingency not reject a march of action of those who find electoral probity as good as satisfactory elections. These groups should not be rejected by a people. Th! e people instead should reject politicians who costume themselves as saviours of a rank as well as file though have been hurtful as good as keep upon amassing resources for themselves as good as their cronies.

Malaysians, for which matter, have been in all brotherly people as good as a detesters have been there to urge a institutions as good as systems which have been only as good as rebuff what is unjust. This is to benefit inhabitant hold up more. There will be no doubts as good as distrust of a people when they see probity in all spheres of their life.

The people's target is for long-term interests. They have been here not to fall short what has been achieved though further improve what has been defective. They find changes though not in a warped or a selfish way.

Healthy debates

A full of health inhabitant dialogue should always be speedy as good as a people have been right away eager to listen to a discuss between Najib as good as a Opposition leader. Debates work in horse opera democracy as this a courteous demeanour for a people to confirm a most appropriate party personality which should lead them.

This is where differences of opinion could be channelled prolifically to a people as good as a country. And towards a finish let a people confirm who they would similar to to lead a country.

To deprive a people of full of health debates between leaders is an utmost disgrace in a democracy.

It is usually when a media headlines is lopsided as good as politicians have been self-seeking would a people go to a streets to criticism to find justice. This as well can be a pacific 'language' of engagement when a little politicians have been only austere as good as have been not peaceful to change.

Nothing is disjointed or irrational when protests have been finished peacefully. Seeking probity in a pacific demean! our cann ot be branded as dirty. To find a improved choice for a nation does mean which a people have been adapting to unwashed ways to grasp their domestic objectives.

Deserve to be criticised

To those who peacefully rebuff injustice, a equates to clear a ends. The people have been some-more wakeful which a supervision authorities have been not being upon purpose ridiculed by a people for no reasons. They deserve to be praised when vindicated. But they additionally deserve to be criticised when wrong. This is a essence of democracy.

Leaders contingency acknowledge which whatever successes in a nation have been attributed to people of all races in a nation a infancy as good as a minority groups. As such, all people contingency be respected for their contributions as good as enterprise to select a supervision of their choice.

The electoral routine should pave a approach for a two-party complement to exist in a nation for a improved democracy. The nation would be a improved place with a two-party complement where no energy monopoly is authorised to dictate a people quirkily. Only afterwards would a nation not be bogged down by unconstrained problems as good as conflicts inflicted by a singular dominant domestic entity.

The brotherly people who criticism for a eminent equates to will never be deterred as good as would instead stay motivated, resolute as good as some-more energetic to tread a trail of rectitude in seeking a two-party complement for a county.

Whichever party rules, it contingency be seen which a outgrowth of a make a difference is which a supervision will be satisfactory to all as good as continue to urge democracy, certitude as good as promises made.

Perceived as duplicitous

Unfortunately, Najib's supervision is being perceived as duplicitous. It is being perceived as regulating a institutions of energy to interrupt pacific rallies as good as will stand flippantly when hoodlums interrupt a pacific rally, Opposition ceramah or organize furious demonstrations against Opposition leaders.

It usually shows a recklessness of a situation confronting Najib as good as UMNO-BN. Threatening to stifle gainsay while ignoring a concurrent assault perpetrated by a little hired brutes is not going to foster a supervision of a day.

Najib has a onus to stifle all corruption, cronyism, racism, electoral fraud, flouting of laws as good as a constitution, military ruthlessness as good as assault during Opposition ceramah for a people to delight democracy in a country. But he does not seem to have a domestic stamina to do so.

Najib: Be a Prime Minister for all people

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.

BAD INTENTIONS? Why is Hisham starting a Bersih 3.0 "videos war"

The Home Minister, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein has announced which a gathering of videos upon a Bersih 3.0 convene would be uploaded upon a Home Ministry website currently for open viewing to capacitate people to see a events which occurred during a rally.

He said: "With a video recording, a people can make their own judgement formed upon contribution as well as not other consideration."

This is a most deplorable development post-Bersih 3.0, as it is continuation of a misrepresentation as well as demonization debate launched by a Barisan Nasional supervision opposite Bersih 3.0 as well as Pakatan Rakyat after Apr 28, like a 30-minute documentary "Bersih 3.0 itu Kotor" telecast upon TV1 upon Sunday, 13thMay which usually antagonised as well as incited off a hundreds of thousands of Malaysians who had collected peacefully in Kuala Lumpur in await of a Bersih 3.0 call for a clean election.

The priority avocation of Hishammuddin as Home Minister is not to be accused, judge, jury as well as executioner all in one but to give full await for an independent, just as well as convincing review in to what essentially happened during a Bersih 3.0 convene as well as settle what went wrong which injured a great ancestral event of peaceful people empowerment ordering Malaysians transcending race, religion, region, class, age or gender for a common national means with incidents of assault as well as brutality, regardless of either a victims were military personnel, media member or peaceful protestors.

Dissolve Hanif panel

What Hisham! muddin s hould do is to give full await to a Suhakam exploration in to Bersih 3.0 as well as dissolve a Hanif Omar "independent advisory panel" right away which two of a 6 members, former Chief Judge of Sabah as well as Sarawak Tan Sri Steve Shim as well as Petronas corporate affairs comparison general manager Datuk Medan Abdullah have cold from a panel rather than to launch off a video war to await a supervision version as well as a conspiracy theory of what happened upon Apr 28.

Hishammuddin's insistence to upload a video gathering of what happened upon Apr twenty-eight usually reliable suspicions which a Hanif panel's real design is to furnish a anticipating to match a supervision script, quite when Hanif is upon open record as ancillary a furious as well as baseless claim of a Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak which Bersih 3.0 convene was an attempted manoeuvre d'etat by a antithesis to disintegrate a government.

we entirely determine with Suhakam Commissioner Muhammad Sha'ani Abdullah who pronounced which Hishammuddin's uploading of a Bersih 3.0 video gathering is opposite a supervision design of environment up a Hanif panel, as it could usually be interpreted as a form of vigour to influence both a review as well as result of a inquiry.

73 hours of clips

Two days ago, Hanif pronounced his panel had been shown over 43 minutes of footage of videos upon a Apr twenty-eight convene out of a sum of 73 hours of clips available.

If Hishammuddin is rebuilt to let a open draw their own conclusions upon what happened during a Bersih 3.0 rally, is he rebuilt to upload all a 73 hours of a video clips upon Bersih 3.0?

How can Hishammuddin expect a open to have conviction as well as certainty which he would discharge his duties as Home Minister sincerely as well as equally when he is not rebuilt to give full await for a credible, independent as well as just exploration such as a Suhakam exploration instea! d of a H anif inquiry?

For a start, is Hishammuddin rebuilt to repel utterly from personification any partial or role in a misrepresentation or demonization debate of Bersih 3.0 convene so as to concede a credible, independent as well as just Bersih 3.0 exploration by Suhakam to lift out a task?

A response to Jeswan Kaur's "Will Karpal's dream come true?"

Truthbespoken

There were six photos in Jeswan Kaur's posting of prior as well as stream PMs tittled "Will Karpal's dream come true?" However, not all a personalities were given a discuss in a posting. So as a Malaysian adult we would take a autocracy to rate their performance as personality of a nation/PMs as follows. But prior to doing that, we would like to embody Onn Jaafar into a list. Here goes ... what say we about a ratings?

Rating as Malayan/Malaysian leader/PM:

1. Onn Jaafar (90%)
Reason: He was 100% for inhabitant integration of Malayans.

2. Tunku Abdul Rahman(80%)
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.

3. Abdul Razak (50%)
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.

4. Hussein Onn (60%)
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.

5. Mahathir Mohammed (30%)
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.

6. Abdullah Ahmad (40%)
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.

7. Najib Razak (50%)
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!

All said, even insimplelayman'sterms here, there are so most some-more to be demanded from all prior PMs to make Malaysia a indeed outstanding, on-going as well as agreeable nation. So dear Jeswan Kaur, we may have a point in bringing brazen Karpal Singh's goal of carrying someone else in future, regardless of race or religion, to take up a layer of Malaysia's PM so prolonged as a personality endangered is seen as well as accepted as a able nation-harmoniser-and-builder! What else can Malaysians dreamily goal for underneath prevailing prospects as well as circumstances?

WAHAI RAFIZI LEMBU! SEKEJAP LU MAU PTPTN SEKEJAP LU TAK MAU, SEKARANG LU MARAH APASAL?

Kalau aku panggil hanjeng kang marah pulak si Rafizi Lembu ni, kalau tak panggil pulak tak patut sebab dia memang hanjeng! Kadang-kadang aku nak tergelak joke ada tengok perangai si Gay Lembu ni, sekejap kata tak payah PTPTN sekejap kata nak PTPTN! Hmm, something is wrong with this guy.

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.
