Another "Kerbau Dicucuk Hidung"

Hantu Laut

If I were the police give him the permit and see how many Sabahans would turn up for his Bersih rally.

Sabahans are peace loving and don't resort to such ugly behaviour, we still believe in democracy and the ballot box.We have changed government we don't like, at least three times, through the ballot box.

Bersih, is nothing but a fraud to cover a dirty political agenda.

Obviously, this hip-hop DJ wannabe politician is trying to use Bersih to promote his dwindling popularity.

Malaysia’s Discontent

By Luke Hunt

In Kuala Lumpur, the authorities are apparently doing some shaping up. Street protests are planned for July 9 by 60 non-government organizations (NGOs) called Bersih, meaning ‘clean’ in Malaysia, amid alleged irregularities involving the nation’s electoral system.

Dubbed ‘Walk for Democracy,’ Bersih is calling for free and fair elections while promoting its constitutional right to freedom of assembly. This has already resulted in 70 arrests and accusations Bersih is plotting to overthrow the government and is spreading communist ideology.

The biggest risk, however, is that the rally is being hijacked by government-friendly and opposition forces, all threatening to join in the protest or march in support of their benefactors. This has prompted further warnings that the country’s stability is at stake.

Insiders say extremist elements within Malaysia’s Muslim community, in particular the Malay supremacy group Perkasa, are hoping to use the rally to inspire an Arab spring at home, mimicking uprisings in the Middle East. The opposition wants to prove it’s still a force to be reckoned with, while less ambitious Malays would simply like to register their discontent with the current government.

One Sarawakian politician went so far as to say: ‘It will bring about a situation where everyone will suffer. We only have to look at Middle East countries starting from Tunisia, Egypt and Syria.’

Speculation that an early election will be held has been ripe ever since Prime Minister Najib Razak ousted his predecessor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi a year after his weak showing in the 2008 poll.

In declining to quash rumours of a pending poll, Najib has fed a constantly turning mill that insists he needs his own poll to establish a political mandate, win back the two-thirds parliamentary majority lost by Badawi and take advantage of a relatively solid performing economy, which some fear is in decline.Read more.

PR ‘rallying’ for lost support

ANALYSIS
By BARADAN KUPPUSAMY

The July 9 rally is an attempt by PKR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to shore up its public support ahead of the next general election and in the wake of recent by-election losses and negative publicity.

The July 9 Bersih 2.0 rally is really a Pakatan Rakyat effort to win back the political momentum it once enjoyed after the March 2008 tsunami but has since lost to Barisan Nasional in a series of by-elections – except Sibu.

Even the Sibu by-election was won by the DAP with a slim 300-vote majority.

Although the party went on to win 15 urban seats in the Sarawak state election, the state Barisan Nasional managed to win a two-thirds majority, clinching most of the rural seats and losing only the urban seats to the DAP.

To recapture the political momentum is the unstated goal of the Bersih 2.0 rally going into the 13th general election, which is near, going by the latest hint dropped by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at a closed door meeting of the Sabah Barisan Nasional on Wednesday.

PKR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the man behind it, senses that a major public rally, which would galvanise the public mood, shake the Barisan Nasional and prepare Pakatan Rakyat for seizing Putrajaya, is the best chance of getting the political momentum back.

In tandem with that goal, Bersih 2.0 has lost its public face as an independent NGO and increasingly showing its Pakatan Rakyat face, even as police step up their action to stop the rally, which they have termed illegal and a nuisance.

The political momentum enjoyed by Pakatan Rakyat moved back to Barisan Nasional with victories in the Kerdau, Batu Sapi, Tenang and Merlimau by-elections, which were won by Barisan with large majorities, indicating that Malay and Indian voters have returned to the coalition.

Syed Ibrahim Syed Ahmad won the Kerdau seat in Pahang with a majority of 2,724 votes while Roslan Ahmad won the Merlimau seat with a majority of 3,643.

In the Tenang by-election on Jan 30, Barisan Nasional also won by a 3,700 vote majority whereas in Batu Sapi, the majority was massive with over 6,000 votes.

Pakatan Rakyat initially had a dream run that left it victorious in eight of the first 11 by-elections held, results which were seen as a sign that it had cemented its support among voters.

However, Barisan Nasional then won two by-elections last Novem­ber, one in January this year and two more later, in a major boost for its morale ahead of an early general election.Read more.

Simple Questions For Ambiga And Pakatan Leaders

Hantu Laut

I would like to ask Ambiga, Pakatan's leaders and the ilk very simple questions:

1.How in hell PAS can ruled Kelantan continuously for over 20 years?



2.How PBS who was in the opposition then won the Sabah state elections 1985 and 1990 ?



3.How Pakatan Rakyat won in 5 states and took over 80 parliamentary seats in March 2008?

4.How Pakatan won in 8 out of 16 by-elections?

How do you expect Malaysians to believe you that there is no free and fair elections in Malaysia.

Grateful if you could answer the above questions.
