The gangster-like assault against students who had pitched tents at Dataran Merdeka causing several of them to suffer injuries must be sternly condemned.
In general, Malaysians are peace loving people. Both the government and the rakyat will not tolerate anyone trying to resolve a problem by resorting to violence. We will not allow it to happen again.
The political landscape of Malaysia has changed greatly since the 308 General Election. We have witnessed violent incidents stemming from political difference occur frequently. There have been cases of threats issued against politicians in addition to public demonstrations and violence unfurling rampantly throughout the country.
All problems and petitions can be resolved through negotiations. As Malaysia is a country which upholds rule of law and her citizens law abiding, we cannot allow any culture of violence and brutality to breed and grow here. The culprits must be brought to book and punished.
Full probe by police?
The position of the Royal Malaysian Police has been questioned over the said incident. I wish to suggest that in order to clarify the whole situation, a thorough investigation should be conducted by the police force so as to reveal the real mastermind behind the physical harassment.
We do not want to hear any unfair allegations hurled against the police. Neither do we want rumours being spread which will cause the rakyat to lose their trust and confidence on the government. Based on the People First concept, all related quarters should give their full cooperation with the authority so that whoever caused the trouble would be caught and action taken.
In any mature democracy, people should all try to help resolve problems faced rationally and never emotionally. In an effort to strive towards progress and year 2020, antagonists should not be allowed to get away scot free for whatever violence that they have committed.

Hi young rookie police sympathetic ass. minister, we true and rational Malaysians see through your belated thoughtful pronouncements but never experience any good or clean actions from all your UMNO putras and BNputras. You are just fishing for votes!
ReplyDeleteA true and people’s democracy cannot be built in a month, a year or 4 years. It is a lifelong process in the development of a Nation. What we have in Malaysia is guided democracy with the likes of Marcos and Suharto who use nationalism, race, and religion to divide the people; and then enslave the people mentally, socially and physically. In the process they enrich themselves, their friends and cronies, and empty the national coffers.

ReplyDeletecontd. After Haji Datuk Najib became PM and spend all 4 years of sloganeering his 1Malaysia programmes, but did nothing to put right the rot in the economy, education and human resource development, law and order, independent judiciary, educated and skilled emigration, and the immigration or import of over 4 millions “foreign talents” from our neighbouring countries.
ReplyDeleteMiraculously UMNO baru woke up from its slumber and came up with a lot of clean pronouncements recently when the coming GE is approaching. Soil Lek’s son also joined in the bandwagon. Wow! Bersih 3.0 is very effective cleaning! Too late my lord UMNO Putra! The police don’t have to wait for their political masters to give the green light to investigate the violent incident! The police were there but didn’t arrest and prosecute anybody!
