‘Well done, Sept 16 protesters for peaceful rally’–Najib Razak

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

“We are not like the Opposition when they do street rallies. Malays know the country’s laws”.

Enough of your spins and lies. You expect decent and peace-loving Malaysians to buy your version of what happened at the September 16 Red Shirt rally. The Malays are not being threatened. It is you. Most of us want you to resign because your corruption, dishonesty and incompetence are undermining confidence and have destroyed public trust.

You are now risking everything  in your desperation to cling to power which you have abused with impunity. You play politics of race and religion, even  when you know that you are  exploiting the insecurities of the Red Shirt Malays.

Soon you will be at the United Nations General Assembly in New Year to deliver a speech. What will tell you the UNGA and the world? Another pack of lies? That Malaysia is a moderate Muslim country? That Malaysia is an oasis of racial harmony and that the rm2.6 billion in your personal bank account is a donation from some generous imaginary source? That 1MDB is a model of probity, good management and should be emulated? Nobody believes you except perhaps the man who occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, NW and golfing buddy, Mr Obama.

The two videos below tell it all. The people who support you are truly delusional. Malaysians are not the enemy. You are our worst nightmare  And you are their enemy.–Din Merican.

 ‘Well done, Sept 16 protesters for peaceful rally’

by Radzi Razak@www.malaysiakini.com

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak thanked all who attended the ‘Himpunan Rakyat Bersatu’, saying the red shirts have done very well to gather peacefully and without any provocation. Najib said there are no sighting of racist signboards or provocative acts such as stomping on Opposition leaders’ pictures.

“The Police told me that the rally showed that Malays respected the law and convened peacefully. Congratulations to everyone who attended the 16 September rally,” he told 15,000 silat (Malay martial arts) practitioners who convened at the National Silat Merdeka Gathering at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur, tonight (September 18).

“Are there any banners promoting hatred to other races? Are there any pictures of opposition leaders that were stomped? We are not like the Opposition when they do street rallies. Malays know the country’s laws,” he added.

Najib did not mention the standoff between the red shirts and the Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) on Petaling Street at the same gathering. The FRU had used water cannon to disperse the crowd; two Police officers and a protester were also injured in the commotion.

Bersih ‘has gone overboard’

In his fiery 20-minute speech, Najib also demonised election watchdog Bersih 2.0, referring to their four rallies which he said was a ‘slap’ on the Malay face. “They slapped us once, twice, three times, that’s fine. But when they slap us for the fourth time, they have gone overboard. Malays too have the rights. Malays too can show that we can stand up when our dignity is torn apart and our leaders mocked and shamed,” he said.

At the event, Najib also congratulated all the silat practitioners, saying they are among his supporters who are willing to fight to the death in upholding his government.He also announced that silat is the official martial art of the country, and promised that the practice would be brought to all government agencies and universities.

“We are willing to die, not as suicide bombers. We are willing to die because this is the legitimate government to uphold this country. We believe in this government,” he said to the cheering crowd.
