The commies haven’t even had power yet

In sheer anticipation of the majority knowing the truth by creating more controversies at Datin Paduka Shuhaimi Baba’s highly acclaimed latest project about two Malaysian Statesmen Tun Abdul Razak Hussein and Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman between 8 May 1969 till 16 January 1976, DAP Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng banned the film from being screened in Pulau Pinang.

Many lessons glaring portrayed from this.

One, Chinese Chauvinist Mini Emperorissimo of Middle Malaysia Lim Guan Eng has yet to watch the film, to determine whether the contents are really part of sowing hatred against the Chinese as he claims. And yet he pre-empted very unfairly and prejudice to a work which many felt majority of Malaysians should understand what were circumstances, challenges and decisions made by Tun Razak and Tun Dr Ismail under duress when the nation was in distress.

Two, the film censorship board under Home Ministry already approved the film for public screening when PG13 certificate was issued June last year. After the usual scrutiny, security and moral experts already vetted the film fit for public screening without having detrimental outcomes.

Third, the film is under the Ministry of Communication and Multimedia policy scheme of ‘Wajib Tayang’ where locally produced films must be slotted for public screening through the cinema circuits. Undermining this policy is like attacking public and industry interest.

Fourth, DAP Secretary General Lim even in his capacity of Chief Minister of Pulau Pinang neither has the ultra-vires power to stop any public presentation by commercial entities which are licensed and have the necessary permits and approvals.

Mini Emperorissimo of Middle Malaysia Lim just demonstrated a behaviour of who they and his band of bandits really are, a dictator. It is undoubtedly that they are Neo Min Yuens and they are very much keeping alive their modus operandi as ”Radicals and subversive elements”, exactly like in May 1969 when the racial clashes erupted.

As Neo Min Yuens, they have been consistently and systematically out to create disability via their ‘Politics of Hatred’ strategy and continue to sow and fan racism, chauvinist and anti-Constitution traits and provocations. They are also out to confuse especially younger Malaysians with their manipulation of half truths and twisting actual events and intepretation of the skewed history.

‘Tanda Putera’ was an opportunity for many Malaysians to be reminded what had happened and transpired before and after the 13 May 1969 racial clashes in the past. For many more younger Malaysians, the film is about telling them there are “extremists, radicals and subversive elements” in the society and they should be rejected.

This is act of dictatorship is complete against the principle of entrepreneurism, rights  of licensed commercial entities to present their product and earn for their keep. This is also complete violating the principle of democracy and freedom of expression.

Imagine of they have the power as the Federal Government.

In short, ‘Tanda Putera’ is a performing arts project where many could learn the truth on the sinister agenda of the Chinese Chauvinists DAP leaders and members then and still are, today.

Pesona Pictures and FINAS should sue Lim and the Pulau Pinang State Government if this ban of ‘Tanda Putera’ is followed through. - bigdogdotcom
