This message below is directed to All Malaysians.
If you are not a Malaysian, then take it for information sake.
Politics itself is not dirty, but it's people who
make it dirty....so it depends on which side of the fence you are in..
PLEASE READ IF YOU CARE ENOUGH FOR YOUR KIDS' FUTURE
All Malaysians are duty bound to help each other to
achieve a better life in our country. With the performance of the
UMNO/BN for the last 52 years, especially the last 28 years, the
country has been raped by politicians and their cronies. You know how
arrogant they are, let us have a good look at:
1. They are extending the APs to 2015 ! They are
giving themselves free money. This is daylight robbery. We are talking
big bucks,billions/year from the rakyat (including common Malays)
2. The taxes and duties on cars continue to be
high to protect Proton but we the public pay through our nose. If the
PR government comes into power we can expect prices to drop by at
least 50% for imported cars. Why are we paying these cronies our hard
earned money so that they can drive around in their new and latest
Ferraris, BMWs etc.
3. Have you noticed that they appoint themselves to
high paying jobs and positions where they can also earn additional
side income. Again these side income run into billions.
4. The Accountant General reported that RM 28B was
wasted by you know who and for who. These figures probably do not
involve the highly secretive arms contracts which run into another
many billions.
5. Look at the way they snatche d the Perak State government.
6. Look at the way they treated Teoh Beng Hock.
7. Look at the way t hey are trying to get Anwar.
8. Look at the Lingam case. No action taken even
after 's Royal Commission had confirmed his wrong doing.
9. Look at the PKFZ delaying tactics, get one report
after another, and then another and if necessary another and then only
the small fish get caught and hauled to Court.
What a way to fool us? Either they are stupid or we
are stupid. The abuse and cheating has been going on for far too long.
Only you and I and together with all Malaysians who care can stop
them. Between now and the next General Elections we have to campaign
now as if the GE is just 6 months from now. Not only do we campaign,
we must get our friends to get others and others to do the same. Let
us not be fooled again and again.
Please start now, if 10 of us can each get 10 we
will have 100 and if each of the hundred gets 10 we will have 1000. If
we keep going, we will reach more than 10M active Malaysians to force
a change. This is a legacy we must give our children/grandchild ren,
they deserve better. The alternative is too
horrendous to look at.
Look at Indonesia , Japan , S. Korea and Taiwan ,
all their old and corrupt parties have been replaced, Malaysia
should be the next.
What Independence ? On this August 31st, we shall
celebrate the 52nd anniversary of the British leaving our country. I
did not say we are celebrating the 52nd anniversary of our
independence. This is because our people have not enjoyed real
liberty, democracy or justice. Without liberty,democracy or justice
there is no independence. . In these 52 years the oppressive rule of a
foreign colonial master has been replaced
by the oppressive rule of a local master... The rule
with an iron fist.
They use the same instruments of oppression as the
British did. They use the ISA, the Sedition Act, the Printing Press &
Publications Act and detention without trial. The freedom of assembly,
the freedom of expression and the freedom to live a life of dignity
free from fear and oppression are illusions. In these 52 years the
yoke of a foreign colonial master has been replaced by the yoke of a
local master. They use the same policy of "divide and rule". They
survive by feeding off racialism. They survive by fostering
divisiveness. They survive by preaching religious intolerance.
What Teoh Beng Hock died for?
Malaysians will not know real independence, will not
be free and will not enjoy democracy unless this
oppressive regime is thrown out. They must be thrown out and pay for
what they have done to Teoh Beng Hock. We must not forget what he
stood for. More importantly, we must not forget what he died for. He
lived to help Malaysians in the struggle against corruption and
oppression. He died so that our struggle can live. He died fighting
for justice.
What Justice? Without justice we cannot say we have liberty or
democracy or equal rights. We cannot say we have
liberty or freedom when Tamil schools have no tables and chairs.
When in Sabah and Sarawak , schools have no
electricity. A child that is illiterate is not free. We cannot say we
have democracy or equal rights for women, when a Chinese girl with
9A1s cannot enter a university.. A girl without a job has no rights.
We cannot say we have freedom of choice when a man cannot feed his
family.
A starving man has no choice. Liberty , democracy
and freedom are meaningless words when there is no justice. Justice is
political liberty. Justice is economic independence. Justice is
equality. There is no political liberty when you vote out of fear.
There is no economic independence when you give your support out of
fear your son's scholarship will be withdrawn or your license will be
withdrawn.
There is no freedom of choice when you elect a party
out of fear for your contract or your business. This is what has been
happening in these 52 years and this will continue if we do not act.
There will be many more Teoh Beng Hocks and many more Port Klang Free
Zones if we do not stop them.
What One Malaysia ? Najib says he wants One Malaysia.
Teoh Beng Hock's death has shocked us back to reality.
We cannot just listen to rhetoric. We must look at the deeds.
When we look, we see what has been done, is a far
cry from what has been said. The Perak government has been stolen from
its people. Najib has now declared his intention to grab the Selangor
government.
The MACC is a tool. It is used to de-stabilize the
Pakatan Rakyat government. Teoh Beng Hock was interrogated throughout
the night.
He was grilled for buying RM2,400 worth of Malaysian
flags. No one has been grilled when PKFZ loss RM12.6 billion.
The MACC officers are raiding the Pakatan Exco
members'office so often they are becoming fixtures. Cars and cows and
Malaysian flags have become a fixation of the MACC.
MACC has not shown the same enthusiasm when it comes
to BN assemblymen who used up their annual allocation of RM500,000 in
2 months before the general elections. The MACC has also not shown any
interest in the trips by the former chief minister and his family to
study the river system in Disney Land .
There is no investigation into how the former chief
minister can afford to purchase a multi-million ringgit mansion that
is beyond the means of a chief minister's salary. Barisan Nasional
machinery is now on the move.
Books attacking Anwar Ibrahim and Khalid Ibrahim are
being distributed.
The authors of these books are sowing the seeds of
hatred and contempt. They desecrate the Hindu's sacred cow in a
protest filled with bigotry. They protest against a Hindu temple built
150 years ago when the area was a plantation that today, just like its
devotees, the estate workers, had been left behind by development.
They have forgotten Muslims were invited to practice
their religion
amongst the people of Yathrib. They are beating the
drums of race and religion and the tone is becoming harsher with each
beat.
The people must now decide. There cannot be any fence sitters.
There is no middle ground.
When Teoh Beng Hock was thrown out of the window on
14th Floor, the people of Malaysia was thrown together with him into
the sea of political troubles.
Whether Malaysia will sink or swim is now up to the
people. The people must decide once and for all what is right and what
is wrong.There cannot be a neutral ground.
Dante said: "The hottest place in Hell is reserved
for those who
remain neutral in times of moral crisis."
Today in Malaysia there is no place for neutrality.
Malaysians must make their choice now. If we want to know what is evil
and what is right, we must use our moral compass. It is only when we
know the direction where justice lies can we know where we must stand.
Do we want to choose liberty and justice which are always right or do
we want to choose corruption, hatred, arrogance and oppression which
are always wrong?
The choice is clear.
Every Malaysian must make his stand.
When you stand for liberty we stand with you.
I want to tell you that when you stand for liberty,
we will stand with you. When you defend democracy, we will be your
shield.
When you fight for justice, we will be your sword.
We will always be with you.
They assaulted *Anwar Ibrahim.
*They threw him in jail for 6 long years..
They call him a traitor and worse. But Anwar will
always be here to fight for you.
They hounded and harassed *Lim Kit Siang. *They
detained him in Kamunting.. But Lim Kit Siang will always be here to
stand by you.
They attacked *Tok Guru Nik Aziz *and tried to
humiliate him. But Tok Guru Nik Aziz will always be here to protect
you.
We have been tested. They have thrown everything
they have at us but we are still standing and we are still here.
We were here in November 2007 when a sea of yellow
marched for a free and fair election. This was *BERSIH*. We were here
in December when thousands in orange marched for equality. This was
*Makal Sakthi*.This was the ripple that started the tsunami.
Barisan Nasional was swept out of 5 states. Since then Barisan
Nasional has become more extreme in their policies.
They have become more brutal with the people. When we Hope So on 1st
August, the lovers of justice and liberty marched again.. Again
Barisan Nasional responded with violence and brutality. 638 people
including women and children were arrested. Despite the police
shutting down the city, despite the many road blocks and barricades,
despite the arrest of those wearing black, the number who succeeded in
gathering far exceeded my expectations.
But the size of the gathering cannot be bigger than
my hope for Malaysia .
My hope is for every one that braved the tear gas
and water cannons there will be many thousands more.
We want hundreds of thousands to march with us.
We will march from under the shadow of fear into the
light of justice. My hope is that the flame burning in each who
gathered that day will kindle the hearts and minds of many thousands
more.
Malaysians will find the courage to standup for
principles and convictions.
We must stand up for what is right.
This is my hope and this is the hope of all Malaysians.
Truth, love and justice will prevail over the forces
of hate and
oppression. This will only happen when the silent
majority refuses to remain silent anymore. This will only happen when
the voice of the majority is finally heard.
We must be confident that oppression and corruption
cannot endure. We must take comfort that truth and justice will always
prevail. But this can only be achieved if we fight for it.
We must fight today for a better tomorrow.
Looking Back in the Future Do not let our children
look back and say that these are dark days. Let them say that these
are great days. These are the most glorious days that our country ever
had. These days will be remembered as the days when we were called, we
answered. We stood up. We stood together shoulder to shoulder
irrespective of race or religion. We fought and we prevailed. Each of
us played our part according to our strengths.
Our children and their children will look back on
these days and
celebrate it as the days we became *ONE NATION*..
These days will be etched in our Nation's history as
the days we won over injustice and oppression. These will be the days
we celebrate *THE TRUE MERDEKA.*
Thank you, Xie xie , vanakam...
Have a blessed day.
