PKNS Issue: An Example Of Good Governance?

The opposition leaders especially PKR leader, Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim always preach about good governance.

They and their supporters always justify their illegal actions such as ‘BLACKOUT 505’ illegal demonstration as heroic actions partly because they claim that the Malaysian government does not practise good governance.

And of course they proudly claim that they practise good governance in Selangor and Pulau Pinang even if only their supporters believe their words.

Good governance is too important for them that some of Pakatan’s Muslim supporters feel that good governance practice is more important than Article 3(1) and Article 11(4) of the Federal Constitution.

I wonder what are the good governance practices that they are so proud of?

Good Governance à la PKR. The image looks so 'kalam kabut' as the PKR.
Good governance à la PKR. The image looks so messy as the situation in PKR.

What kind of good governance is this?

The PKR leaders are fighting openly with each other like small children fighting for toys.

May be they should take a break and listen to what Michael Jackson said in his song, ‘Man In The Mirror’:

“If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change” – Michael Jackson (Man In The Mirror).

What about their integrity?

Well, may be integrity means nothing to them.

BLACK 505: The Photo Spinners, Birds Of A Feather Flock Together

Lots of PR bloggers tried very hard to convince their readers that  the Saturday’s illegal demonstration, Black 505 was a big success.

Tranungkite Online posted a post with a title, ‘Himpunan Black 505 Padang Merbok 22/06/13’, saying:

“EDISI KANTOI TERBURAI SAMPAI TERLONDEH TERBARAI!!!! 

Bukan main suka lagi beberapa blogger pro UMNO buat cerita dengan muat naikkan rakaman gambar A dengan putra fakta kononnya Himpunan Black 505 di Padang Merbok petang tadi tidak mendapat sambutan langsung dari rakyat terutamanya dari anak-anak muda.”

They wrote that the pro UMNO or the pro government bloggers only uploaded ‘photo A’ (below) in their blogs to show that only a small number of people took part in the illegal Black 505 demonstration.

So, they posted ‘photo B’ which they claim is the actual photo of the big crowd.

Are they telling the truth?

Now, who cheated; pro UMNO bloggers or pro opposition bloggers? 

I studied the above photos and I found out that photo B is the edited version of photo from The Star because …

crowd

and…

crowdd

So, who actually cheated and who is the real photo spinner?

They did all these again and again …

Please look at how they edited the photo below during the #KL112; the edited photo shows people on the stadium roof and some others floating in the air!

They did all these for their leader Anwar Ibrahim but at the same time they were cheated by Anwar who had a wonderful time during the swearing-in ceremony of Members of Parliament the next day while some of those demonstrators were busy demonstrating in the hot hazy day, laying on the road, hurting the police and doing crazy, violent and foolish things until some were detained by the police – please click here for: Black 505: Photos Of How Anwar Cheated His Supporters.

Pakatan Rakyat bloggers love to edit photos and spin stories; just like their leaders.

They are all the same, ‘Birds of a feather flock together’.

BLACKOUT 505: Photos That Raises Lots Of Questions

The opposition parties that called themselves Pakatan Rakyat (PR) expected yesterday’s Blackout 505 or Black 505 illegal demonstration in Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur to be their biggest demonstration ever.

The opposition parties brought their supporters from other parts of the country to the demonstration venue, hoping to show to the foreign reporters that most Malaysian supported them even though we are facing a hazardous haze problem in Kuala Lumpur.

They even brought in the Orang Asli or the Malaysian aboriginal people to take part in the illegal demonstration by carrying some banners written in English!

Did the Orang Asli wrote the banners themselves?

I do not think so.

It is very funny when the illegal demonstration’s organisers gave the Orang Asli English written banners to be carried around; may be they thought that the Orang Asli communicate in English instead of their native languages and the Malay language.

Looking at the photos posted in popular blogs, these are some questions that I want to ask:

DO PR LEADERS CARE FOR THEIR SUPPORTERS? Kuala Lumpur is facing a hazardous haze that we have to close our doors and windows to avoid the haze. And when PR ordered their supporters to go outside for hours to demonstrate, the demonstrators could face health problems just because of taking part in that illegal demonstration.

Look at the buildings in the circle. Do they look clear?

Look at the buildings in the circle. Do they look clear?

DO THE DEMONSTRATORS CARE ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN? Some of the demonstrators brought along their kids with them, some in Blackout t-shirts. But do they really care about them? If this illegal demonstration turned into a riot like Bersih 3.0, the children could be badly injured. And some kids could be facing asthma problems (like me) and being outside in the haze for hours could make us sick.

Are they kids or are they adults?

Are they kids or are they adults? It is against the law, clause 2(e) and 2(f) of Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 to bring children to this kind of rally even if it is legal

DO THE ORANG ASLI UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DOING? The Orang Asli that joined the demonstrators at the Masjid Jameq were reportedly led by an Indian. They were holding banners written in English! But do they understand what their banners say? If they wrote the banners themselves, will the banners be written in English? If they are the educated Orang Asli, they’ll be able to understand English but the traditional Orang Asli could not, the same as most people from the traditional villages away from the  do they really understand what they are doing and the reason why they participated in the illegal demonstration?

Take a good look at the banner. English or Malay?

Take a good look at the banner. If they prepared the banner themselves, will the banner be in English or Malay?

Here's a closer view. I do not think the word murder that is written on the banner exists in the Malay dictionary.

Here’s a closer view. I do not think the words such as ‘murder’ and ‘bribery’ that is written on the banner exist in either the Malay or their native language vocabularies.

DOES PR SUPPORTS THE COMMUNIST? In yesterday’s illegal demonstration, there were people carrying flags with:

  • Red rectangle at the top

  • White rectangle at the bottom

  • 12 yellow stars at the top right

The flags were similar to the ones used by the illegal Parti Komunis Malaya’s (PKM). So what is the connection between the Pakatan Rakyat and the communist ideology?

Flags in the circle are used by the Communists in Malaysia.

Flags in the circle were similar to the ones used by the communists in Malaysia a long time ago.

DOES PR WANTS BLACK 505 TO TURN INTO A RIOT? Khalid Mohd Ismath tweeted on 21 June 2013, saying;

“The success of this assembly is when 3 police trucks were overturned, 2 water cannons were destroyed and when 3 FRU busses were destroyed.”

Khalid tweetKhalid Mohd Ismath is one of the main PR’s illegal demonstration activist. His tweet called for a riot! They wanted to destroy the FRU busses, they want to destroy the water cannon, and they want to over turn trucks not only cars like in Bersih but trucks!

ARE THEY TRYING TO TURN BLACK 505 INTO SOMETHING LIKE ARAB SPRING? I saw a photo of a demonstrator carrying the Syrian flag. But why   must a flag of Syrian be waved in that illegal demonstration? Is it because of they want to start something like the Arab Spring?

Is PR trying to make this like the Arab Spring.

Is PR trying to make this like the Arab Spring.

Say NO! to BLACKOUT 505

Say NO! to BLACKOUT 505

Say NO! to BLACK 505 and the Pakatan Rakyat!

Himpunan BLACKOUT 505: A “Peaceful Demonstration”?

Malaysian’s 13th General Election is over but the opposition parties in Pakatan Rakyat who lost the election wants to use street demonstrations, violence and other illegal ways to topple the legal government.

Today Pakatan Rakyat will stage another illegal demonstration against the 13th General Election’s results, called BLACKOUT 505.

The demonstration is against the law because it is in conflict with the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.

In fact most of the opposition’s demonstrations and rallies are illegal and against the law because the opposition parties’ leaders do not understand that we have to obey the laws of any country we are in.

That is why the opposition leaders complained against the Singapore government’s punishments towards the Pakatan Rakyat’s supporters who held an illegal demonstration in Singapore. (Please read here)

PKR claims that today’s illegal demonstration which will be held in Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur will be a peaceful demonstration.

A peaceful illegal street demonstration?

Is it something like Bersih 2.0 and 3.0 when they blamed the police and the government for their violent acts? (Please read here)

Demonstrators thew all kinds of things towards a moving police car and attacking the car. The photo shows demonstrators kicking the car and someone climbed onto the car kicking the windscreen. They then hit the driver and a reporter who tried to help the bleeding policeman. Are they peaceful people?

Do they really want it to be peaceful or do they actually want to see clashes between the police and demonstrators? (Please read here)

They always promised a peaceful street demonstration; anyway most of their street demonstrations are not peaceful and they would blamed others for the bad things that they had done.

I think their idea of a peaceful illegal street demonstrations are the kinds of demonstrations that were held in Cairo, Istanbul, and in Rio de Janeiro.

Is this Anwar Ibrahim’s idea of peaceful street demonstration? Designed By Ahmad Ali JetPlane for Ahmad Ali Karim

Maybe they will do crazy things to spark violence and to provoke the police so that they’ll be caught by the police. (Please read here)

Then they will start a fight, hoping that the foreign reporters will report that the Malaysian Police and government are bad, undemocratic and unfair toward the demonstrators and the oppositions.

As in Bersih 3.0, if they did not go through the barricades at Dataran Merdeka, the Federal Riot Unit (FRU) will not shoot tear gas and spray the water cannon. (Please read here)

Did the opposition leaders care about the demonstrators who supported them and might be killed in the stampede as they were pushed through the barricades into the Dataran Merdeka?

And today, with the hazardous haze problems in Malaysia, the opposition leaders are just happy to let their members and supporters risking their health by walking, running, shouting and doing crazy physical activities for hours in the hazardous haze that can cause them health problems.

Even McDonald had postpone their Olympic Run 2013 at the same location tomorrow due to the haze problem.

I just hope that they will not bring children along even with face masks.

That is why we should say, “NO!” to BLACKOUT 505 and to Pakatan Rakyat!

Singapore Warns Malaysian Politicians Not To Interfere In Its Domestic Affairs

The Star reported that Singapore warns Malaysian politicians not to interfere in its domestic affairs.

In the article, DAP’s Kulai MP, Teo Nie Ching argued that “the person she was fighting for was unfairly punished” by Singapore, adding:

“It’s not that we want to interfere with (Singapore’s) internal affairs. If (the one person) only attended one protest, then that is unfair,” and that Singapore’s reaction was too harsh.”

But I thought that PR leaders, members and supporters especially DAP and PKR always praise Singapore as democratic, not corrupted and love the country till they use a Singapore-like flag for their Sang Saka Malaya.

But now, after their supporters were punished for taking part in an illegal protest, a DAP’s MP said that Singapore is unfair.

How confused are the PR supporters that they think they can also break the laws of other country as what they are doing in Malaysia.

I think if the incident happened in Malaysia, they’ll organise another ‘Candlelight Vigil’ and more demonstration asking for freedom of speech and calling the government as undemocratic.

Below is the report by The Star:

Singapore warns Malaysian politicians not to interfere in its domestic affairs

By PATRICK LEE

PETALING JAYA: Singapore has warned Malaysian politicians to stay out of its affairs, in the light of the arrests of 21 Malaysians for demonstrating in the island republic.

A joint statement by the Ministries of Home (MHA) and Foreign Affairs (MFA) said demands by Malaysian Members of Parliament for Singapore to let off those arrested was seen as foreign interference.

“Actions to involve foreign parties are attempts to seek special treatment and to further politicise what is essentially a domestic law and order issue in Singapore,” it said in a statement on its website.

Singapore added that it had always taken a strong stand against foreign issues or politics brought into the island nation.

It added that it did not interfere in domestic affairs of other countries, and expected similar treatment in return.

Previously, Malaysians gathered at Singapore’s Merlion Park on May 8 and 11 to protest against the May 5 general election results.

They were a rendition of the Blackout 505 rallies that took place in major cities around Malaysia.

On May 11, 21 Malaysians were arrested by Singaporean police. The work pass of one and visit passes of two others were revoked. The remaining 18 are currently being investigated by authorities there.

Several Malaysians have since approached their political representatives, including DAP’s Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching, for aid.

Last week Thursday, several Pakatan Rakyat MPs also petitioned the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur for leniency against the 21.

Meanwhile, in response, Teo said she was only fighting for the one whose work pass was revoked, arguing that the person was unfairly punished.

She said that the particular person only attended one rally, adding that Singapore’s reaction was too harsh.

“It’s not that we want to interfere with (Singapore’s) internal affairs. If (the one person) only attended one protest, then that is unfair,” she said.

Teo said that eight of the 21 had approached her over the matter, and with some telling her that they accepted their punishment.

She added that there was a spate of miscommunication in the episode, and asked Singapore to re-investigate the case.

“We’re only pleading for the one person…I don’t think this amounts to interfering. They are Malaysian citizens, and we have a duty to them,” she said.
