MAKING THE BEST OF DEMONSTRATIONS/ PROTESTS

1. While in ITM

I can still remember those good old days in Insititut Teknologi Mara (now UITM) in the middle 70’s when life as a student was most free and full of fun. Then came the announcement of the appointment of Tun as Deputy Minister of Education and soon thereafter the Universities Act; the students organized demonstrations against the restrictive policies. Cordon off within the campus, the students demonstrated their hate against Tun; I was among them though not actively involved. Envisaging that the authorities may storm the campus, one day in the wee morning, I and a couple of my roommates made our way through the rubber estates and escaped. However later, accused being too vocal during a subsequent interview by ITM administration to sieve problematic students, I was dismissed from ITM. The academic results soon came out and due to my good results following an appeal; I was allowed to continue my studies in ITM. I eventually ended up being the best student in my course.

2. Post ITM

As time went by as I pursued my career, my perspective of life changed. During the period of Tengku Razaliegh verses Mahathir, against all others in my department, I alone stood by Tun. When news of the Sodomy Part 1 came out, I again stood by Tun. In both these two instance, I did not stand just blindly behind Tun; I did my background research including discussions with those in the know in establishing my stand. When Bush/ US invaded Iraq, I bought t-shirts depicting evil Bush and purposely wore them as my own way of demonstrating in silence as I went around shopping in areas I know the foreigners would do their shopping. I still remembered people smiling at me, some even congratulating me for my extremely nice t-shirt while the faces of some ‘white’ foreigners were blushing red, looking concern. So what, if the US and its allies brand Muslims as ‘Islamic Terrorists’ and subject to tighter security measures at their airports, I exerted my full rights to demonstrate silently against ‘them’ in my country.

3. Present Day

Coming to present day, the cost of living has really gone up. I really feel the pinch as I have 5 dependent kids to bring up. Hearing our stupido PM and his Minister Shahril asking the rakyat like me to change life style and cut consumption following the more 40% petrol price hike made me sick. Being a professional, I sensed that PM and his cronies had failed grossly in managing the economic woes of the country. With his style of care less management, anyone including I can be PM. It’s time for PM to go and quick before the economic and political stability worsens.

Coalition Against Inflation

Just yesterday, a friend of mine from JB called up wanting to meet me and asking me to have a look see at the proposed protest organized by the Coalition against Inflation (Protest) against the recent fuel price hike. I would have like to but because the objective of the protest had been corrupted to allow DSAI. to boost his standing arising from Sodomy Part 2, I told my friend “forget it; I don’t want to be associated anything with that Political Bugger”.

The protest suit those who would only believe that the Political Bugger is right while all others are wrong, including the army, police, our legal system etc. These people namely the Opposition members are afraid that if the Political Bugger is found guilty, the new found Pakatan Rakyat will be in complete disarray and therefore still born. So the “niat” of the protest has been fouled/ corrupted by this deceptive purpose. It’s a pity that PAS subscribes to these illusionary and deceptive objectives of DAP, PKR and politicized human rights movements like the Malaysian Bar Council under the guise of Protest. I am quite sure many who had wished to join the protest against the fuel hike but not associated with the aspirations of Opposition parties will unlikely participate.

In the said protest, the Opposition will want to manipulate showing that times have changed in our country since 10 years ago. In my anger, I would say bullocks – since time immemorial, man has deviated much from God’s directives thus the perennial problems of to-day, prostitution being the oldest trade in the world still strives beyond recognition in our country sodomy destroyed under Sodom and Gomorrah is very much alive and indulged even in this country, Malaysians still eat chicken, fish, meat etc, every Malaysian will still have to make a living to feed his family. Really sick propaganda of the desperate DAP.. .

Protest Against US.

Yesterday about 50 members of the Malaysian Islamic Consumers Association handed over a memo to the US embassy on that country’s interference in our country’s internal affairs following US Department spokesman Tom Casey’s statement on DSAI’s Sodomy Part 2. Unfortunately the embassy was closed for the US embassy day.

DSAI is the favorite “horse” of the US for many of its endeavors against the Muslim world. DSAI is Chairman of the Foundation of the Future where the US had given USD30M to fund its various activities in Arab and African countries to promote ‘greater freedom and liberty’ ie the elements of human rights. As commonly held, no type of human rights are good enough to the US except as theirs, so US will messed up things whenever they sniff.. Definitely if this US horse falls shamelessly, the repercussions on the naughty prospects of the Muslim agenda by the US administration under the Foundation of the Future will consequently collapse. So will be the loud laughter in the US University where the Political Bugger is a visiting Professor. The US tak sanggup “malu muka”, too much of their interest is at stake. The US is likely to protect their horse at all cost.

We also have in Parliament an old hack in the wheel chair and his political supports commenting what’s wrong in DSAI being a US snitch. If Malaysia can interfere on Palestine, the US has every right to interfere in DSAI’s case. Seemed the old hack refused to differentiate between the two; he’s all too desperate to see his dreams of Malaysian Malaysia crumble before his eyes. The DAP had and can never ever share the aspirations of the Malays being the majority when it comes particularly to the economics of the Malays and Islam but yet promoting a Malaysian Malaysia, very confusing and deceptive.

UMNO Youth wants to protest against the interference of the US and other foreign powers in our country’s affairs. It’s commendable and timely but it would be better if

i) other Malay/ Muslim groups also take part in the demonstration for reasons stated above in emphasis to the threat from the Foundation of the Future

ii) greater publicity in the MSM on the objectives of the demonstration

iii) the march/ demonstration should commence from the US embassy to the Turkish and perhaps Singapore embassies or vice versa to give the impact on foreign interferences (just handing over a protest note to the US embassy is a waste of time and effort)

iv) Placards should hit not only at the US but also the DAP/ Malaysian Bar Council/ DSAI/ LK Siang/ Kapal Singh etc

v) Do not disturb the freeway and be in compliance with law and order but ensure that the demonstration should be effective with full media coverage.

But PM will not allow such kind of demonstration; he’s so weak, so flip flop that when the US squeezes his balls just a little, he will behave like the Opposition. It would be better for the rakyat to use its resources to “demonstrate”/ protest peacefully for PM’s removal for he’s the main source of much of the rakyat’s current hardship and the current political instability, disruption in the peace and harmony and mismanagement of this country. That time has already come, in conjunction with eliminating the US horse from the political equation.
