That this government of ours will allow these kind of "news" to be published in any media is the height of stupidity and utter irresponsibility. We are not kindy or primary school children to be threatened by these so called Silat Ulat! Four million indeed! Najib you are a greater moron then I thought.  What do you expect will happen will all this over kill of Bersih? You have PDRM lined up against Bersih. That bloated frog from Perkasa in full battle dress regalia salivating for his 15 minutes of infamy. Do not forget the Mamaks and that Father of Mamak himself! And now this 4 million Silat Ulats? 

Cukup lah Najib. Take five and rethink your strategy before you plunge the whole nation into a blood bath with the Malays against the Malays and the non-Malays pitching only because they have had enough of your corrupt government and your constant threats to teach us all a lesson simply because we want a better future for ourselves and our children.

THE POWER TO HURT !

Like a bully that has nothing else but the power to hurt this BN government predictably choose to bully Bersih and the people of this country into submission. But as Lyndon Johnson said of bullies : “If you let a bully come in your front yard, he'll be on your porch the next day and the day after that he'll rape your wife in your own bed.” Do we want UMNO to rape your wife? Do we want to allow BN to come into our house? So what do we do with this BN bully?


All you people out there in KL, JB, Penang...anywhere in Malaysia....realize this. There are many many thousands of our friends, comrades in arms, like minded political and social activists, some known and some unknown to us, but all of them our friends, all over our country who are ready to show this BN bully that we shall not be moved. Realize that in essence we are all fighting for the same reasons, against the same enemies. We are all inspired by the same passion to save our country from being pulled apart by the deliberate design of this corrupt BN government. The dreams and vision of the future generation will succeed or fail by our efforts today.Our dreams, our struggles, our hopes can happen if we believe that together we can build a network of people bonded  by the struggles we face together against the tyranny of this BN government. 

The young amongst us all must lead.

They they have the passion and the physical strength to front our struggle.  

Though this UMNO/BN regime is using fear to intimidate, threaten and prevent us from expressing our wish for a free, fair and open election WE WILL NOT ACT IN FEAR! For we were all born without fear. What we know of fear is from what we see and experience around us as we grow up, matured and learned. Now our own government is striking fear into our hearts and minds by telling us that they will stop us from expressing our aspirations for a free and fair election. How will they stop us? Through fear and intimidation.


They arrest Bersih Activists. This Din guy has declared Bersih illegal because it is causing "an atmosphere of unrest"....and we must agree when he is right! Bersih is causing an atmosphere of unrest within UMNO/BN ranks - if truth be told Din and his cousin Najib together with all the other elitists BN goons in the BN government are running around like headless chooks and wetting their pants just thinking about the thousands of people they fear will turn up at the rally - truly a manifestation of Armageddon for UMNO/BN and then  defeat at the 13th general election will be a certainty!      


Imagine what our people will do if they have no fear of the riot squad splitting their skulls open? If they have no fear of PDRM thuggery being unleashed upon them? If the ISA can no longer be used to throw them into jailed without recourse to a trial or fair hearing? What will they do? For start there will not be a venue anywhere in Kuala Lumpur that can accommodate the hundreds and thousands of our people that will come out to attend the Bersih rally! For they will come out without fear of being harass and harmed by the very government they have elected to governed them. 


But for now this same government is acting out of fear to get what they want. Decisions made in fear are irrational decision! These are not decision made for the best interest of the people or for our country. Just ask yourself this. Why are so many of our skilled professionals leaving Malaysia? Because they fear for their ability to have fair go in Malaysia, to earn a decent living, to build a good future for their children and they fear for their lives in situations as is now happening with this Bersih rally - a showdown between the people and their own government. Are their fears unfounded? Does it matter? Fear sometimes drives us to make irrational decisions. This BN/UMNO government is acting out of fear for their very own survival! We need to fear what they will now do to their own people to ensure their survival!                 


I do not want to act out of fear. Neither do I want PDRM, this Din guy from the Rumah Ministry or this BN government to scare me out of doing something I want to do. None of you should act in fear! Do not be afraid of what lies ahead in this next week or so as this BN government act out their fear through arrests of Bersih activists by PDRM, by threats from the elitists goons headed by Najib who would have liked to say this ala Pulp Fiction"


" And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

But alas Najib can say that but I will still give him the two fingers ...or maybe just one middle finger for he only deserve that! But I digress....


To all of you who call Malaysia their home I say that you should not act in fear. There are enough of us out there who believe in ourselves, in our family, our brothers and sisters of all faiths and religion, of all races - believe that there are enough of us with the power to create our own destiny. We cannot be afraid if we wish to overthrow a government that is corrupt and arrogant, a government that will act out of fear to physically harm its own people....and even kill them.

You are one. With me we are two...who else will join us?

Mahathir: His contributions to the decline in political morality in Malaysia.

What distinguish the UMNO of today and that of the time before Mahathir can be said in a few words : compassion for and the respect of the rights of the people : or to be more exact the lack of it after Mahathir became Prime Minister. With Mahathir came the decline of political morality and a corresponding decline in the moral fibre in the civil service. Since 1981 the indiscretions of elected officials and those in the civil service have become the hall mark of all things Malaysian to the extent that Malaysians are now accepting that the realities of corruption, greed and vested interests colors all government transactions. An acceptance that we are now a country in decline without much hope for recovery in the foreseeable future.


As if to emphasize this decline we are continually bombarded with scandals after scandals of the worse kind - financial, sexual and the abuse of power by high ranking public officials. What the murder of Altantuya, PKFZ, death in PDRM and MACC custody and the massive financial abuses of the nation's wealth confirms is that Malaysia is indeed a nation in moral decline bereft of any decent political leadership : in short a nation that has lost it's way.   


And as if this was not enough our increasing economic woes are now compounded by a social and racial divide that has been deliberately and irresponsibly concocted by the BN government to divide and rule the people of our country - and by so doing have manged to hold on to power for the last 53 years! 


Not only have this been done by creating a social and racial divide amongst the Malays and non-Malays but the BN government of the day has found it expedient to accelerate this racial divide by the giving of citizenship's to legal and illegal Malay immigrants further exacerbating an already precarious and delicate racial and social problems that is now plaguing the country. Imagine what social harm the massive influx of unskilled and uneducated immigrants would do to any country that is not even able to provide basic welfare care and education to its existing people. Surely this is the act of an irresponsible and self serving government without regard for anything else but their own political survival! 


At all levels of our society we now see our people in distress. Financial distress. Social distress. Moral distress. And surely a society in which its political leaders are without the controlling influence of decent morality is a society in real distress? That is the situation we now find ourselves!


The BN government has succumb to the lowest level of politics : GUTTER POLITICS : gutter politics is where the worse of human nature and behaviour in politics have not only been unleashed but rewarded! There is simply no precedent in the once grand tradition of UMNO/BN politics or of our country for the shameful manner in which UMNO/BN has now descended. In the Malaysia of today we see our Prime Minister using his office as a sanctuary from prosecution in the Altantuya murder. We see lewd behaviour by BN politicians rewarded with an ambassadorial posting to Washington! The President of MCA is more well known for his sexual hi jinks in a pornographic video then for his political prowess. Our Chief Justice though guilty of thinking with his penis rather then with his distinguish grey matter was rewarded with his judicial post giving credence to this adage : 


Chief Justice : Honorary tittle given to leader's best friend!       


And none distinguishes the depths that UMNO/BN has sunk to then the relentless attacks against DSAI - the latest of which required the use of one Child Rapist Tan Sri and two slimy Datuks. 


Following the examples set by this BN government our society has followed suit. We have a corrupt and brutal Police Force which is just short of becoming a willing appendage of UMNO. The corporate world is a willing, eager and generous participant where prudent business practices are cast aside for the more lucrative political patronage on offer from corrupt politicians where the spoils on offer is breath takingly profitable at the expense of the public.  


And where does all this lead to? The simple answer is to look at where we are to day : 2nd July 2011. We have a government that has virtually declared war on its people for wanting a fair, free and open election. We have a government that is prepared to risk the lives of its people in Gebeng Kuantan for Lynas - big business against the little people.


We have the Prime Minister talking up a RM 4 billion redevelopment of the city riverfront - this at a time when minimum wages are still just "to be discussed" next year, when subsidies are being "restructured" and when our hard core poor can still be seen wandering the streets of our capital and major cities, and the old are still without adequate care.  What madness is this to prioritize these mega projects when matters of affordable housing and putting food on the table for the nations poor should really be the priority?


These are some of the reasons why today in Malaysia compassion for others who are less fortunate are no longer a consideration for this BN government. Why we no longer trust this BN government to do what is right for us and for our country. And of course where moral decency has gone the same way as this BN government has gone -  into the abyss where the dregs of society resides!


Are we at the point of no return?


To answer this we need to look at what has happened after Mahathir became Prime Minister. The manner in which Mahathir consciously used race to divide and rule the country would put Malaysia on the same level as South Africa that had used Apartheid to "manage" racial inequality. Initially as the restructuring of the Malaysian society got underway there were visible images of the Malays getting their share of the nations wealth. The non-Malays accepted the necessity of this social re engineering with grace and possibly an acceptance that this must be the way to go forward if we were to be 1Malaysia. 


But soon, much too soon the cosmetics redistribution of wealth amongst the Malays became in reality a grab by UMNO politicians of the nations wealth for their own keeping. The executive power vested in UMNO politicians made this too easy a task for UMNO to do and do it they did with gusto and a greed that brought with it the culture of money politics into the consciousness of the Malays in general and into UMNO in particular. 


I would think that the irreversible slide towards this moral decay started when UMNO within itself accepted the use of money politics and factionalism within itself as a means of buying and staying in power. Thus began the transformation of UMNO into an organization where the needs justifies the means - and the end is always to hold on to power at any costs. Because power open doors to great wealth. No longer was UMNO there to fight the battles for the Malays. No longer were the Malays the reason for UMNO's being. Money was the be all and end all of all things UMNO. This new reality brought along with it the troubles and abuses that we now have today. 


Malaysia is now a country governed by corrupt politicians.The races no longer lived in harmony because it serves the interest of these politicians for the various races to be at each other's throats. Gone are the interest of the people, their dreams and aspirations  - in its place there was one and only one overriding need of the BN government - to stay in power!


All this started when Mahathir became our Prime Minister in 1987. We now have a new generation, maybe even two generations of our young and not too young, brought up to turn away from the ways of "pre Mahathir" to grow up to become parents in this new "1Malaysia" where ketuanan Melayu and the rights of government to pillage and plunder our nation's resources was, for a time, tolerated.


But not anymore! With the advent of the electronic media and the world wide web and the Internet our people are now able to access information of the abuse and wrong doings of this BN government. No longer can the BN government keep from us the massive losses incurred in wasteful public spending, excessive infrastructure costs and all in all incompetence of the BN government in the Mahathir years which still continues till today.


The Malaysian people have now realized just how far this BN government should be held responsible for the ills we all now face.


All the dominance Malaysia once had within the Asean, if not global economy has now disappeared because of the lack of prudence by this BN government in our times of plenty - so much so that we now question our ability to regain economic stability.


What else does this BN government need to see before they realize that their past and current policies whether in education, business or racial balance have failed miserably? That changes must be made now if we are to ever regain our place again amongst our peers in the East? These economic reforms and national transformation programs must be done to address the necessary changes most needed not for political grand scoring or vested interests of the BN cronies but to guarantee that our economic future will be assured.

I cannot see any other way forward for Malaysia then to do away with this corrupt and self serving UMNO/BN government. What is to come after BN is still to be seen. Much too often human beings have the ability to change for better or for worse when called upon to do so circumstances of their own making or by factors outside their control. If BN is voted out of office at the 13th general election then let those that will take its place understand that the momentum to ensure change rests with the people. Ignore the people at your peril!
