Beware of Arab Spring here, says Musa

The fomer IGP says 'Arab Spring' can happen here if losing parties are dissatisfied with election result.

ALOR SETAR: Former inspector general of police Musa Hassan said ‘Arab Spring’ can happen here if losing parties in the general election are dissatisfied with the result.

“I am confident that the losing parties will use their supporters to create chaos to topple the government just like what happened in the Middle East.

“Political parties must restrain themselves and behave appropriately starting  now,” he told a special briefing to Komuniti 1Malaysia members at Kompleks Penyiaran Kedah, here today.

Musa said the police should start gathering information to prevent ‘Arab Spring’ from coming to Malaysian shores.

“The Internal Security Act (ISA) that was preventive in nature had been abolished while the effectiveness of the new Act is questionable.

“Some people were charged for promoting terrorism in a foreign country while those who rioted in our country are not arrested and charged.”

To a question, Musa said that he would not join any political party but fight alone in the best interest of the religion, race and nation.

He lamented that several politicians are willing to gamble the nation’s dignity and religion in order to achieve their political ambitions.

“Previously, the US intelligence agency the  CIA infiltrated governments to cause chaos but now the Jews and Westerners use NGOs to adopt liberalism.

“They use NGOs demanding that the government become more transparent, encourage lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT).

“All these are done to weaken Islam. If liberalism is not adopted, the government is deemed as cruel.”

Musa said that opposition lies that federal government is corrupt and weak are aimed at influencing the people.

“This tactic has managed to influence the people although the opposition which rule four states can’t do a good job.

“National security will be threatened if the government fails to deal with greedy leaders, organised crime, loansharks, religious fanatics, incitement and underground movements.

“Action must be taken against those involved and it must not be made selectively,” said Musa.
