On Poll: 88% disagree with the Sultan
Micheal: While waiting for the dust to settle in Perak (which is very unlikely in the near future),Pakatan Rakyat has to stay united. Remember, you are still enjoying the support of the vast majority of the rakyat, never mind if someone fails to see it. Failure makes one stronger and smarter, always. Let us learn from this hiccup and emerge stronger in future. This is definitely not the time to blame each other. Pakatan must stay united at this critical time without any fault-finding and finger-pointing. The event that happened in Perak is unfortunate and is beyond your control. The rakyat still need you for the next election and in the coming years. We have been waiting for 50 years and don't mind waiting for another few years, really. You should continue to serve the rakyat well. For a better future of our children, may I plead to all of you in Pakatan Rakyat to remain united.
PR Sympathiser: An elected government by definition means that the party/parties that won the election represent the people of a state. Irrespective of who appoints the so-called elected government, it defeats the purpose of an election if there are defections. By principle, this practise should be removed and the electorate is given an opportunity to elect or confirm the defection. Therefore, in a democracy irrespective of who has the authority to appoint, the people should have the final say. In my opinion, the BN government should give way to Pakatan and let the people decide. By the same token, Pakatan should not be greedy by grabbing reps from the other party to join them. The reason is that the people did not endorse such a move. Anyway, this could have been planned by letting someone be the red herring to draw a few others away. In this way the losers are PR. So be careful in future. Go back to the people though it may be difficult and expensive.
Pacman: Those who say that what BN had done in Perak recently was right must be out of their minds. Wake up, the 'glory days of the BN are heading for a downfall. BN shall be extinct very soon.
Lin: I am not a BN or Pakatan Rakyat supporter. When PKR wanted to take over the federal government Sept 16, I was disappointed with their strategy as it involveed party-hopping, which is a disgusting act and puts a nail in the coffin for democracy.BN has been in power for the past 50 years and they should know better to uphold the high moral integrity they claim they have. I was shocked and truly disappointed that BN is now employing now the tactics of tit for tat and stooping as low to what PKR wanted to do last year.If an MP has lost faith in his or her party, do resign with dignity and call for elections. There should be a law that even if an MP steps down due to leaving the party, he or she can still contest for the next election either as independent or on another party ticket.Democracy is not about parties, it's about hearing what the majority wants, and that is through elections.BN please do set an example and show the people how you are much a moral values party though now I feel like that you are worse then PKR.PKR talked about taking over government in undemocratic way, but it is BN that did the action. I have lost my faith in BN and now I have lost my trust in them. The year 2013 will be my first election and I know who I am going to vote for.
On Ku Li: Not right way to take power
VCHI: Once again, the honesty and integrity of a man that came so close to becoming the prime minister of Malaysia can truly be seen here. Sadly, his calls will most definitely, again, fall on deaf ears as those in Umno and BN continue their pursuit of power and money, of personal fame and glory. Ku Li, you don’t belong there. You don’t belong in Umno. You don’t belong in this category. Quit Umno. Leave them as you left them before. This time, you leave with greater reason; you leave because of your country, Malaysia, and its people, Malaysians, whose rights, as you rightly pointed out, are being trampled upon without regard. Quit Umno. The latest coup in Perak has just shown how different you are to your party. The latest coup just shows how low Umno has sunk to. The Alliance ship has sunk, its virtues, no more, its values, no more, its honesty, no more, its integrity, no more. The party you are in now is not the party you joined so many years ago. Quit Umno, and maybe one day, Malaysians can truly echo the call of the great Tunku Abdul Rahman: ‘Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!’ Quit Umno. Only through this avenue can you continue your pursuit of a better Malaysia, free from corruption, nepotism, greed, and bribery, something the word Umno has become synonymous with. Quit Umno. Quit its oppressive policies, and help bring down a regime that does not represent its people, that denies them their rights. Do you want to be remembered as the one that did nothing when greed and corruption destroyed your nation?Or do you want to be remembered as the hero that played true to his conscience, that spoke up against the oppression, the greed, the corruption? Only you can decide, Ku Li. Quit Umno and be remembered as the one that saved Malaysia.
On Nearly 20,000 copies of Suara Keadilan seized
John Tan: Have these two publications violated the guidelines which their printing permit allows? If not, by admitting that ‘the ministry confirmed that it had launched an operation to seize copies of Suara Keadilan and Harakah and not providing a reason why, this further reinforces that Malaysia is indeed a lawless country. If these two publications are acting within their rights, can the ministry act high-handedly by seizing the copies? It does seem that we are fast becoming dictatorial in enforcement, whereby those who are supposed to safeguard the nation are now acting upon whims and fancies without the need for a valid reason under the laws that govern the country.
