Portal berita Malaysiakini dan pengendalinya wajar disiasat bawah Akta Hasutan. Ini kerana mereka terang terang menghasut rakyat dengan artikel mengenai Polis dan pengunaan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA).

Negara polis dan kebangkitan rakyat

“Dalam masa sehari semalam, Malaysia telah bertukar kepada sebuah negara polis”, itulah kata-kata yang diungkapkan Tunku Abdul Rahman berikutan Operasi Lalang pada 1987 yang menyaksikan penangkapan pemimpin-pemimpin barisan pembangkang dan aktivis-aktivis yang lantang bersuara mengkritik dasar pemerintahan BN.

Operasi Lalang itu didalangi Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, perdana menteri ketika itu dengan menggunakan kuasa polis di bawah undang-undang tahan tanpa bicara, Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA).

Peristiwa itu menyaksikan kematian sebuah demokrasi, pencabulan hak asasi dan prinsip kebebasan dan penghinaan terhadap Perlembagaan Persekutuan, yang merupakan undang-undang tertinggi di Malaysia.

Negara polis adalah didefinisikan sebagai “sebuah negara yang dikawal oleh sebuah kerajaan yang bersifat menekan dan menindas secara politik, ekonomi dan sosial masyarakat melalui kuasa polis yang digunakan sewenang-wenangnya tanpa mengikut nas undang-undang”.

Negara polis jelas menekan dan menindas kebebasan dan hak asasi rakyat walaupun ia telah dijamin dan termaktub dalam perlembagaan demi mengekalkan kuasa pemerintahan yang bersifat kuku besi.

Kebangkitan rakyat yang ditekan di bawah sebuah negara polis dalam mengekalkan pemerintahan bersifat kuku besi ini dapat dilihat melalui kebangkitan kuasa rakyat di Timur Tengah yang dimulai di Tunisia, diikuti Mesir dan Syria.

Kuku besi

Angin kebangkitan rakyat menentang pemerintahan kuku besi ini masih bertiup kencang merentas benua, menyampaikan pesan keramat kuasa rakyat untuk terus bangkit menuntut hak dan kebebasan dari cengkaman dan penindasan pemerintahan yang tidak adil dan zalim.

Mesir, sebuah negara yang diperintah diktator Hosni Mubarak telah menyalahgunakan institusi polis sewenang-wenangnya di mana pada bila-bila masa sahaja polis-polis akan menangkap, menculik, menyeksa dan membunuh rakyat yang lantang bersuara menentang ketidakadilan pemerintahan Mubarak.

Rakyat Mesir, di bawah pemerintahan Mubarak sentiasa diselubungi ketakutan di mana polis pada bila-bila masa sahaja bebas untuk melakukan tangkapan yang tidak sah dan ugutan tanpa dikenakan sebarang tindakan meskipun tindakan polis itu sendiri jelas melanggar peruntukan undang-undang yang sedia ada.

Sebelum tercetusnya revolusi di Mesir pada tanggal 25 Januari lalu, satu kejadian yang segar di ingatan setiap rakyat Mesir tentang keganasan polis terhadap seorang pemuda bernama Khaled Said telah menjadi satu titik penting kebangkitan rakyat yang tidak lagi sanggup ditekan di bawah budaya keganasan polis.

Rambut ditarik, kepala dihentak

Khaled, 28 tahun, telah ditangkap oleh beberapa orang polis di sebuah kafe internet di Alexandria di mana beberapa orang saksi telah menyaksikan beliau dipukul, badannya ditendang, kepalanya dihentak ke dinding, rambutnya ditarik dan kepalanya dihentak bertubi-tubi di tangga.

Saksi-saksi selanjutnya menyatakan bahawa walaupun Khaled berhenti bergerak tetapi polis-polis tersebut masih lagi mencekik lehernya dan terus menendangnya tanpa belas kasihan sehingga lelaki itu menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya.

Kes keganasan polis seperti yang terjadi kepada Khaled di Mesir, dan di negara-negara polis di bawah pemerintahan kuku besi tidak asing jika hendak dibandingkan dengan kes keganasan polis di tanah air kita sendiri, Malaysia.

Bekas Pesuruhjaya Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia, Malaysia (Suhakam) Datuk N Siva Subramaniam pernah menyatakan bahawa 70 peratus kes yang dirujuk kepada kepada Suhakam adalah berkaitan dengan kegansan polis yang secara terang melanggar peruntukan undang-undang, norma-norma kebebasan dan hak asasi yang jelas dijamin di bawah Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

Kes Khalid di Mesir telah menjadi salah satu pencetus kebangkitan rakyat Mesir di mana satu gerakan yang menggesa keadilan ditegakkan di internet dan telah mencabar rakyat Mesir yang cintakan keadilan dan ingin menamatkan budaya keganasan polis untuk keluar berhimpun dan mendesak agar pemerintahan kuku besi Mubarak dijatuhkan.

Mangsa keganasan polis

Washington News dan ABC News telah melaporkan bahawa Khaled adalah “Wajah Pencetus Revolusi” yang mencetuskan perhimpunan kebangkitan rakyat Mesir mendesak agar pemerintahan kuku besi Mubarak yang memperalatkan institusi polis dijatuhkan.

Malaysia, sebuah negara polis yang diterajui kerajaan BN yang berterusan memperalatkan institutsi polis hari demi hari, menyaksikan seorang demi seorang rakyat Malaysia menjadi mangsa keganasan polis.

Kematian dalam tahanan, tembakan tidak mengikut peruntukan undang-undang, penyeksaan dan layanan tidak berperikemanusiaan sudah menjadi budaya yang berakar umbi di mana polis-polis yang terlibat terlepas dari dihukum kerana undang-undang yang sedia ada hanyalah sekadar hiasan di atas kertas.

Keadilan untuk mangsa-mangsa keganasan polis terus-terus dinafikan, suara keramat rakyat yang dahagakan perubahan terus-terusan ditekan, hak dan kebebasan rakyat terus-terusan dicabul sewenang-wenangnya.

Sudah tiba masanya, kita rakyat Malasyia yang bebas merdeka bangkit untuk mengakhiri budaya keganasan polis yang hanya memanfaatkan kuasa pemerintahan kuku besi kerajaan yang sekian lama menghinjak dan menekan kita, rakyat Malaysia yang cintakan kebebasan dan keadilan.

***************

Adalah berniat jahat apabila Malaysiakini membenarkan artikel ini disiarkan yang bertujuan untuk mengumpamakan Malaysia adalah sebuah ‘Negara Polis’ dan Kerajaan Memerintah menggunakan Polis dan peruntukan undang undang undang untuk menindas rakyat, terutama Pembangkang bagi berterusan mengekalkan kuasa.

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk rakyat membenci Pasukan Polis. Ini merupakan strategi Pembangkang terutama PKR dan parti Chauvinis Cina DAP untuk memburukan agensi penguat kuasa undang undang seperti Polis, SPRM, Peguam Negara dan Kehakiman. Ini kerana Pembangkang hanya mampu untuk meraih sokongan dengan cara menghasut dan kempen ‘politik kebencian’. Apabila tindakan diambil keatas mereka yang berlandaskan peruntukan undang undang dan kuasa sebagaimana yang telah dipiagamkan, maka mereka akan menggunakannya sebagai membuktikan bahawa Kerajaan memperalatkan agensi penguatkuasa undang undang untuk memerintah secara ‘kuku besi’.

Ini adalah niat yang tidak lain tetapi jahat semata mata. Mereka wajar disiasat dan jika ada bukti, ditahan bawah peruntukan undang undang yang sesuai termasuk menghasut. Mereka wajar disiasat bawah Akta Hasutan Sek 3(1)(a) dan (c).

Lim Guan Eng: MCA tak guna sebab ikut telunjuk UMNO

Parti Chauvinis Cina DAP meneruskan dakyah bagi memperkudakan jika tidak membakar emosi masyarakat Cina dan memainkan sepenuhnya sentimen perkembangan terkini mengenai dua kenyataan terbaru Perdana Menteri Dato’ Sri Mohd. Najib Tun Abdul Razak.

Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng menganggap MCA tidak lagi menghormati demokrasi sebaliknya membantu UMNO untuk mengugut dan menghukum pengundi kaum Cina yang tidak menyokong BN. Di samping itu, MCA juga di tuduh tidak berani menghukum UMNO apabila parti itu mengajak PAS untuk menyertai BN untuk menyatukan orang islam. Dakwa Lim Guan Eng lagi ini merupakan satu tindakan double standard kerana pengundi di hokum akibat melaksanakan demokrasi dan membuat pilihan secara bebas dan sebaliknya tidak menghukum UMNO yang membuat keputusan sendiri tanpa mendapat persetujuan daripada parti-parti Komponen BN seperti MCA.

Setiausaha Agung parti Chauvinis Cina Lim Guan Eng juga menyatakan UMNO adalah BN dan BN adalah UMNO dan ini turut membuktikan perwakilan MCA ada atau tidak berada dalam Kerajaan adalah tidak penting manakala perwakilan MCA tidak berkhidmat demi masyarakat Cina atau rakyat Malaysia sebaliknya berkhidmat untuk UMNO sahaja. Beliau membuat kenyataan media tersebut sebagai menyahut cabaran Presiden MCA Dato’ Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek yang menyatakan MCA tidak akan menerima jawatan dalam Kerajaan sekiranya parti itu mendapat keputusan buruk dalam pilihanraya akan datang.

Persoalan mengundang PAS menyertai BN sebenarnya tidak sepatutnya menjadi isu bagi MCA kerana satu masa dahulu (1973-77), PAS memang sebahagian dari BN apabila ianya dibentuk untuk menggantikan Parti Perikatan.

Jelas DAP sedang membakar emosi masyarakat Cina untuk menolak BN dan sebaliknya mengundi DAP dalam PRU 13, yang dijangkakan akan diadakan dalam tempoh setahun. Walaupun DAP dijangkakan tidak akan mampu menguasai lebih dari 20 kerusi majoriti Cina di Semenanjung, namun mereka amat konsisten dengan kempen berbaur perkauman mereka.

Dalam pada itu, rakan kongsi ‘tidur sebantal, tetapi mimpi lain lain’ DAP dalam Pakatan Rakyat iaitu PKR berada dalam keadaan yang amat rumit dan terdesak. Mereka kini menyalahkan Cawangan Khas Polis DiRaja Malaysia atas permasalahan yang timbul apabila Ketua Umum dan Penasihat PKR Anwar “Mat King Leather” Ibrahim dirakam mengadakan hubungan seks dengan seorang wanita Cina.

Petikan dari Malaysiakini:

PKR hari ini mengemukakan beberapa keping gambar bagi membuktikan dakwaan mereka bahawa Bukit Aman terbabit dalam beberapa siri ceramah untuk menyebarkan ‘pembohongan’ dan ‘fitnah’ terhadap Ketua Pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim di Kelantan.

Pada sidang media di ibu pejabat PKR di Petaling Jaya, Timbalan Presiden PKR Mohd Azmin Ali mendakwa pegawai polis di peringkat nasional bertindak sebagai “agen politik” untuk Umno.

Menurut Azmin (kanan), program itu – berjudul ‘Seminar Isu-Isu Keselamatan Negara Masa Kini’ – dilangsungkan di beberapa tempat di di Kelantan yang mensasarkan penyertaan guru dan pengetua sekolah.

Seramai 2,000 pegetua dan guru dikatakan terlibat.

Azmin menambah, seorang daripada penceramah merupakan pegawai polis kanan berpangkat SAC, Abdul Rahman Ismail yang merupakan ketua penolong pengarah dalam unit sekretariat dan penyelidikan Bukit Aman.

Dengan pendekatan sebegitu, Azmin mendakwa Abdul Rahman menjadi seorang daripada “agen fitnah untuk bercakap tentang isu liwat dan seks”.

“Dia dakwa Anwar bersalah dalam kes liwat dan video seks,” dakwa Azmin sambil menyifatkan penglibatan polis sebagai penyalahgunaan kuasa oleh Umno.

PKR spinning to protect Mat King Leather

PKR High Council met this morning at the soon to be repossesed Head Quarters in Merchant Square, Tropicana, Petaling Jaya. The purpose is to discuss post mortem of the recently concluded 10th Sarawak State Election and the explosive sex-video scandal.

The meeting which started at 1130am was attended by Opposition Leader Anwar “Mat King Leather” Ibrahim, PKR President Wan Azizah Ismail, Klang MP Manickavasagam, Subang MP Sivarasiah, Gombak MP Azmin Ali, Chew Chow Lian, Selayang MP William Leong, Kesavan Subramaniam, Chua Jui Meng, Abdullah Sani, N. Surendran, Nik Nazmi and Raja Ahmad Shahril Iskandar Raja Salim.

They did an analysis on the most racially charged Sarawak Election, especially on the extremely adverse  ’6% returns on investment’, which PKR only managed to win 3 out of 49 seats contested. The also discussed on the strategy and preparation for the 13th General Election expected within a year.

During the 200pm media conference by PKR Secretary General and Machang MP Saifuddin Nasution Ismail centred on the consistent denial of Anwar’s involvement as the ‘actor’ in the much talked about sex-video scandal. It obvious that PKR big wigs are still trying to lie-away a scandal which is visibly clear that the PKR Adviser is featured in such an immoral act.

This spin would eventually blow in PKR’s face as even the Police already ascertained who is the person featured in the sex-video, now being circulated widely but through ‘underground’ means. The ‘Dato T’ trio Dato’ Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, Tan Sri Rahim Tamby Chik and Dato’ Shuaib Lazim who took the vows of swearing on the truth in the name of Allah s.w.t. and Al Quran on Friday basically casted in stone of their determination to unravel Anwar’s continuous lies in this sex-video scandal.

The former PAS strategist also announced the 6 month suspension of PKR Puchong Division Chief S. Murali on the pending investigation that latter joined one-time-blue-eyed-boy-turned-dissenter Dato’ Zaid Ibrahim party, KITA.

The Rakyats’ confidence level for PKR is dwindling very fast. The exodus of six MPs already caused a major blow to the party which was created to champion Anwar “Compulsive Liar” Ibrahim’s personal desires for power. Coupled with the last November concluded party election which was marred with practices of fraud and favourtism.

Now the sex-video scandal and if Anwar is convicted again for sodomy, it would strike a major blow for the party which was created and lives around the charisma and lies-on-top-of-more-lies of the most notable liar in Malaysian history. No amount of spin can salvage that any longer.

PKR thugs on the loose

PKR is really desperate. They are now resorting to gangsterism politics.

15 PKR men beat up several Gelang Patah UMNO Youth division committee members with wooden sticks  in Taman Seri Pulai Perdana, near Johor Bahru this evening. They summarily lodged a report at Kangkar Pulai Police Station at 851pm and one UMNO Youth man was injured and a motorbike was damaged in the unprovoked attack.

Earlier in the evening, Former abuse-of-power-convict Anwar “Mat King Leather” Ibrahim continued his persistent lie at the dedication of PKR Office in Bandar Baru Uda. In his speech, he lambasted the Police in the recent case which involved him being the ‘star’ of a very controversial video where he was taped of having sex with a Chinese woman. He charged the Police of bowing into political pressure instead of being professional in their work.

He also continued his usual lie by accusing the Federal Government Leaders of embezzling RM 50 billion of the rakyats’ money.

On the last Friday’s ‘Dato T’ Muhaballah Swear by Dato’ Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, Tan Sri Rahim Tamby Chik and Dato’ Shuaib Lazim, the Opposition Leader said that anyone could swear as often as they want and this is no real issue. Especially when the Muhaballah Swear is about out to demonise him in the eyes of the rakyat.

However the crux of the matter is that in the past 30 months, two Muhaballah Swear have been made against Anwar. The first one was on 16 August 2008 by onetime his own aide Mohd. Saiful Bukhari Azlan of being sodomised by the Adviser to PKR and de facto leader of the Opposition.

The protest at the entrance of Pulai Springs Resort where Johor PKR Convention was held

Much earlier at 200pm, PKR Johor organised a convention at Pulai Spring Resorts. In his speech, the onetime convicted-for-sodomy-but-acquitted-for-technicalities Anwar accused Rahim of being the culprit of the video distribution and this UMNO agenda is being carried out by someone with morality issues. TV3 also was accused to be an UMNO apparatus to demonise him.

Delusional Anwar asked Johor PKR Chief Chua Jui Meng (who he described as future MB Johor) to get the Johor PKR election machinery prepared.

In the usual zest, he also accused Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd. Najib Tun Abdul Razak refusal to have an open debate with him on the murder of Altantuyaa Shaariibuu was about of fear of the truth being out in the open. For him to dare raise this in this tone and context, despite Raja Petra “Cyber-Anarchist” Kamaruddin’s admission that his statutory declaration on 18 June 2008 mentioning Datin Sri Rosmah Mansor and two others present at the murder was a blatant lie, in the proof of how psychologically sick his mind is.

Sheer desperation has set in. By pathological-liar Anwar and his rejected band-of-bluffed-bandits.

Malaysian Chinese: Be prepared to be discluded

Yesterday was a very interesting day for politics. At a Malay heartleand state of Kedah, Fourth Prime Minister and Statesman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad reminded everyone that the struggle to fight for the Malays’ interests is not at the expense of the Non Malays. He also asked the Chinese to not forget what the Malays compromised for the Chinese, to a point of willing to ‘power-share’.

On the same note in Terengganu, Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd. Najib warned the Chinese that they would not be represented in the policy making process if they continue to vote Oppositions and challenged PAS to ditch Chinese Chauvinists DAP and work with UMNO instead.

‘Ditch the DAP’

“We met when we were campaigning in the Sarawak state election and he hugged me. I had no problem with the friendly gesture and hugged him back, but I would like him to end fruitless cooperation with DAP.”

KUALA TERENGGANU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak yesterday called on Pas to cooperate with Barisan Nasional and sever its ties with DAP.
He made the this call when acknowledging calls of “Join Barisan” from the crowd while addressing them at a meet-thepeople session at Kampung Pulau Bahagia, Manir, here, during his one-day visit to the state.
The call came about when Najib said he had hugged Pas president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang when they met in Sarawak recently.

“We met when we were campaigning in the Sarawak state election and he hugged me. I had no problem with the friendly gesture and hugged him back, but I would like him to end fruitless cooperation with DAP,” Najib said.
He described DAP’s “Malaysian Malaysia ” slogan as clearly different from Pas’ Islamic state objective.
“Umno has done more for Islam.

We have raised the allowance for imam and religious teachers. Why does Pas need to cooperate with DAP? Does DAP support the Islamic cause?” he asked.
When the crowd shouted “join Barisan”, Najib pointed out that BN’s doors were always open for negotiation with Hadi.
“We can negotiate… but please don’t take Terengganu,” he joked.

The positive response from the 15,000-strong crowd in the Manir constituency was significant as the state seat had been in Pas’ hands for the past 20 years.
Earlier, Najib urged the people to place their trust behind credible political parties and leaders.
He lauded the excellent service that Umno’s coordinator for the constituency, Yusuf Awang Hitam, had continued to give to the residents.
“He initiated a free clinic for the public.
“This is another proof that BN leaders always put the people’s interests fir st,” he said, adding that the opposition only knew how to make empty promises.
“Can we trust people who do not even know where his watch is?” he asked, in a thinly-veiled swipe at defacto Parti Keadilan Rakyat leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“Even the folks in the Sarawak longhouses wanted to know where the Omega watch is,” he said to loud cheers from the audience.
He said PKR was born from street demonstrations, thus the party would always resort to rash actions.
“Why is there a need to stop people from taking oath in a mosque? It is their right to go to the mosque to take whatever oath they wish.” Later, at a press conference in Pulau Duyung, Najib clarified that in his address to the people at Kampung Pulau Bahagia earlier, he did not invite Pas to join BN.
He was only reiterating his call for Pas to abandon the opposition coalition and stop cooperating with DAP.
“It is a major contradiction for Pas to say it is championing Islam, knowing that DAP will always oppose anything even remotely Islamic.
“Their ideologies simply clash.” Najib said the issue of Pas joining BN was a totally different matter.
“It is a complicated thing and I wo n ’t go into that.” In Pulau Duyung, Najib met the people in the Bukit Tunggal state constituency and told them that Pas should realise that nothing good would come out of its cooperation with DAP.
“Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said said Pas can twist a good deed to make it appear to be bad if it does not benefit them, but they failed to realise that they gain nothing from being in the opposition coalition.
“Pas had worked hard in the Sarawak state election but the DAP reaped all the benefits by winning their seats, while Pas was wiped out.” On Chinese voters, Najib said the choice was clear for them — suppor t MCA and other BN component parties or lose representation in the government. He said MCA had sent a clear message to Chinese voters that they cannot expect to have strong representation in the government if they support the opposition.
Najib was commenting on MCA’s announcement that it will not seek any position in the government if it performs badly in the next general election.
“Currently, the Chinese are well represented in the government, thus the message is clear; the Chinese cannot expect to get strong representation if they vote opposition.” Najib also said he was satisfied with his one-day working visit to Terengganu.
“The response from the people was very warm and spontaneous.
“If we can build on this, I am sure we can wrest constituencies that the opposition won with a slim majority in the last election.”

********************

The Star’s Sunday political analysis this morning was about the Malays are coming back to vote UMNO/BN and many PAS and PKR leaders risk losing their seats even though the Chinese still refuse to toe the right-wing line. Despite the results in the recent Sarawak State Elections proven that the decision of the majority prevails, the Chinese have been proven to be defiant.

Adversarially, the DAP Chinese Chauvinists are up to no good again this morning. They held a forum “Myth of Sarawak Elections 2011: Only the Chinese voters swing to PR?” in Kuching. Amongst those who were present is DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng, Chong Chien Jeng, Violet Yong, Tony Pua, Christina Chiew, Wong King Wei, Voon Lee Shan and political analyst Dr Ong Kian Ming.

Chong Chien Jeng said that BN blamed the Chinese voters for their bad performance in Chinese majority constituencies recently and played racial card. He who managed to win the Kota Sentosa DUN seat, outlaid the strategy for DAP to win the hearts of the Non Chinese voters, particularly the Bumiputras.

Lim Guan Eng denied BN’s statement that the majority of Chinese voted DAP but was adamant that the win was the result of new Bumputra votes. He also said that the increase in the majority in Padungan and Pending was the result of DAP leaders ‘turun padang’ approach.

On top of the racially  charged campaign DAP mounted in this 10th Sarawak State Elections, he Chinese Chauvinist party actively maneuvered the voters for the advantage. It is believed since 2006, they have moved Chinese voters in droves  into constituencies like Pending, which benefitted with 4,000 new voters. So was Padungan, Kota Sentosa and Batu Lintang.

This marriage-of-(un)holy-inconvenience-between-backstabbing-strange-bedfellows already hurting PAS. Their hardline members already openly questioning the leadership of the ‘revised policy’, which include downplaying the ‘struggle based on Al Quran and sunnah’ for the allegiance with anti-Islam DAP. On top of that, the on going crisis that looms Anwar “Mat King Leather” Ibrahim and PKR is spiralling into something chronic.

It is obvious the votes that PAS lend DAP candidates would dwindle in the upcoming general election. The Malay support that PKR enjoyed is definite to run away.

For Malaysian Chinese to carry on be lulled by DAP Chinese Chauvinist overtone deeply and consistently against the Malaysia Leadership ‘power-sharing’ coalition government is a big shame. The ‘power-share’ which the Malays’ generousity for the Chinese enabled a stable community and government which is conducive for their businesses to grow and prosper.

No doubt that Malaysian Chinese are the strategic voters. In many of the 60:40 constituencies, they play the role as a ‘King Maker’. On the other hand, for them to be adamant about their demands and even blackmail the Leadership for more, the they should really take a long look at that. The patience and tolerance of the Malay leadership has its limits.

MCA only won 15 seats in the Dewan Rakyat. Gerakan won 2. That is 17 out of 139 BN MPs. Between them, they have 16% of the Cabinet posts. That is more than what they bargained for. Especially, in these 17 they managed to still be voted into power because of the UMNO generated Malay votes.

The Malaysian Chinese now have their voice and representation in the Cabinet, the nation’s highest policy and decision making forum. They are still there out of respect and the Malay Leadership is keeping their of the bargain in the ‘power-share’ concept.

However, if the Chinese still adamant about their demands and attempting to ‘politically black mail’ the Malay Leadership, then they must be ready to be the consequences of no longer being ‘heard’. In the final analysis, Malaysian Chinese in Semenanjung only have less than 30 seats which they are majority and for the whole country, they have lesser than 40 seats. They cannot actually go far in a 222 seat Dewan Rakyat.

The Chinese are known for being business savvy. Obviously, they understand the  importance of having representation as a member of the board of directors (BOD) in all the decision making process at the strategic level. If they are not represented in the BOD, the likeliness of them having executive role in the operations and tactical level greatly diminish.

Remember, the Malays uphold the saying “Buat baik berpada pada, buat jahat jangan sekali“. They also adhere to the saying “Sarang tebuan jangan dijolok“. If the Malaysian Chinese are prepared to be discluded, then also be prepared to live with just their rights as citizens of this sovereign Malay nation. Nothing more.
