The battle for freedom must be won over and over
again.
I am sure there will be a Bersih 4.0 if the legitimate demands of a people craving for political meaning are not met. Why should the Election Commission resists demands to clean the electoral list? Why should the government deny electoral reforms? Why should the Malaysian people be denied insisting elections are only for Malaysian peoples? Why should we not demand the exclusion of phantom voters and aliens from our electoral list? Admitting Bangladeshis, Myanmarese, Nepalis and other illegals and giving them instant MYkads because they can support a fearful government, is treasonous!

We are denied because this government fears the
judgment of its own people. It has certainly shown it fears its own people.
Otherwise what kind of government that has shown it was willing to
unleash the repressive instruments on its own people?
I almost fell off the chair when someone uttered
the unthinkable- that Bersih 3.0 would serve only to whip up Malay nationalism.
Because of Bersih 3.0, Malays will gravitate towards UMNO?
3.7 million of them abandoned UMNO in 08 and the
majority will stay there. Once black, they will never go back to the red side.
UMNO is in the red on so many fronts- good governance, integrity, clear vision,
quality leadership etc etc. the list never ends. The UMNO doctor said it well-
UMNO is full of crap and half past six pretenders. So why should the majority
of Malays ever want to go back to UMNO?
What can UMNO offer- another half a century of
pillaging and subjecting the nation to ruinous policies? RM1.3 trillion of
money spirited out of this country and almost RM 30 billion each year of
ill-gotten monies smuggled out of this country?
The Malays who have crossed the Rubicon in 08, have
tasted a better life after UMNO. There’s not only life after UMNO, but a better
life without UMNO.
Will the Malays suddenly drop dead once UMNO is
evicted from power? If we do, then that is clear proof that UMNO has failed to
cultivate and produced rugged and robust Malays. If we do, UMNO has shown that
it has only been able to produce a society of wimps. If we do, it is clear
proof that UMNO has failed the Malays.
Then there is this UMNO leader- they call him the
President who’s struggling to inspire us with a clear vision. We don’t want a
grand vision- all we wanted was a clear vision. Instead he has only come out
with a Campbell’s Alphabet soup of strangely arranged letters. Does he
inspire confidence? He can only bribe and pay his way through incapable of
inspiring Malays to new heights.
Not true- unless the UMNO xenophobic propaganda
machine make out the marchers of Bersih 3.0 as non-Malays wanting to overthrow
a Malay regime. Here is the thing- If the entire population of Malaysia is
composed of Malays, there will still be a Bersih-like march and protest. Then
it will be a clash between the oppressive ultra-right wing conservative cum
feudal clique versus the disenfranchised and marginalized Malay proletariat,
tired of the enslaving and exploitative and corrupt regime.
Bersih 3.0 has struck unimaginable terror in the
UMNO Plutarchs and corporate potentates. There is a sense of nervousness,
increasingly and dreadfully alarming that has forced corporate chieftains to
regularize their business interests. 1MDB buys over Ananda Krishnan’s power
generation business at an astronomical price tag- obviously the price tag has
been UMNOnised. The corporate potentate then sells off a sizeable portion of
his oil and gas business ( Bumi Armada). Other corporate chieftains are doing
the same on the quiet side. Big businesses are deserting UMNO and the UMNO
fools are rushing in where angels fear to tread.
We must not fall into the UMNO trap of pigeonholing
Bersih as a clash between the Malaysian people of different races. it was
resoundingly not. Bersih 3.0 was a celebration of political maturity of the
Malaysian people of all races. Each are committed as stakeholders to ensure a
good nation is passed on to the next generation.
