1MBT = 1 Malaysia Boo Them

Folks, do read my comments at the end.


In his latest blog post Tun Dr Mahathir lists the legal options open to the nation to get rid of the prime minister.

Here is a short portion of Che Det's Blog :   http://chedet.cc/?p=1831

1. What is happening in Malaysia today is unprecedented. The rule of law has been turned upside down and the people seem powerless to do anything to put it upright again.

2. This is because the very leader entrusted with upholding the law has become the subject of the due process of the law. It is alleged that he has broken the law. As no one is above the law, it follows that he must be investigated to determine if indeed he had broken the law.

3. Although this is unprecedented in Malaysia, this had happened in many other countries, including in the developed West.

4. Recall the case of President Nixon of the United States of America. He had used Government officials to spy on his political rival. This was considered as abuse of power in the U.S.

5. Eventually he was impeached and was forced to resign as President of the U.S. The Vice President took over and in due course elections were held. The Vice-President won. End of problem.

6. In other countries more violent methods are used to remove an unpopular president, whether elected or imposed by the military or other politically powerful groups.

7. Now Malaysia would not want to see violence used. So the instruments or the institutions of Governments were expected to investigate and determine whether the allegations against the P.M. are true or not.

8. The institution that is normally expected to do this is mainly the police. Other institutions with the capacity to investigate are also expected to do this. In cases involving money, the Central Bank are expected to investigate and report.
9. Then there are special bodies created to oversee how Government money is managed. These are the Auditor-General and the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament. Additionally there is the Anti-Corruption Commission.

10. They are however limited to investigations and preparation of reports. They themselves have no power to prosecute. For this, the Attorney-General must decide and initiate legal proceedings. If the A.G. decides there is no case to answer, even the most blatant crime will not be tried in the court.

11. The only other process for the removal of a PM is a vote of no-confidence in Parliament. It needs a simple majority. With the fall of the PM, the whole Government would fall. But by majority decision in Parliament, a new Government may be set up. It may be the same party or a different party. Alternatively an election can be held.

12. These are the avenues of legal redress provided in the Malaysian Constitution and laws.

My comments : Well the legal options are very, very limited.

We do not have any illegal options. Lets be clear on that. No matter what, we have to obey the law and uphold the law.  

Whatever we do must be within the law. 

Peaceful assembly as provided under the law and with Police permission etc  is legal. This provision must not be abused. 

Mahatma Gandhi used non-violent, peaceful protest to great effect to get rid of the British colonials from India.  Rule No. 1 is do not break the law.  Always maintain the peace and never turn violent.

Here is another method of non violent protest that was put to great effect in Johor recently. Over 2000 UMNO members booed Ahmad Maslan IQ 3.85. Here is the video:


As you can see, this is a very simple, non violent, peaceful and very effective method of protest.  The crowd just booed at Ahmad Maslan.  

Booing is not illegal, it does not break the law, it is  not violent, it is not seditious and  it is not a crime. But it is very effective.
