Steps And Preparations After The 12th GE


ONLINE MEDIA STATEMENT
===============




After deliberation, our group's leader would like to convey the following:

1. Restore the original rights and powers of the Malay Rulers in the Constitution of Malaysia.

2. Abolish the Internal Security Act (ISA) as it is no longer relevant and valid.

3. Improve on the University & College Act.

4. Improve on the Printing and Presses Act.

5. Maintain the price of petrol & gas and other essential goods.

End Statement.

In addition to the objectives that we have submitted to the PM, issues 2 through 5 are detrimental for ensuring a BN comeback in the next GE, if it wants to. The following are our rationale on these issues:

Issue 1

Our stand in this issue has been crystal clear. It is up to the PM now to make his move. On our part, we are already in standby mode. The PM may proceed as planned and leave the traitors to us, especially Dr M and his cohorts. As proof, whosover supports the Yellow wave has our blessings.

BN's defeat in this GE is not primarily due to the PM's fault but due to the rot that was left by Dr M. So, the PM needs another term to clean up the mess.

Issue 2

The ISA is no longer relevant and valid in this era of progress and globalization. It should be abolished immediately and all the detainees be given a speedy and fair trial. This is one of the big factors that has caused BN to lose its 2/3 majority. The Government has blatantly used the ISA to suppress the Indian community's grievances rather than address them holistically. The Indian community is frustrated with the Government's show of force. Actually, the Government should listen to them and resolve their problems amicably. The Government should show care and love to the Indian community and not arrogance and the show of force.

Furthermore, we have said in our previous highlights that the Hindraf leaders were only thinking of seeking the help of terrorists. But, they have not done that yet. So, the Government has jumped the gun. We have advised the Government not to nab the Hindraf's leaders under ISA but the Government ignored our advice. As proof, Samy has lost in this GE.

Issue 3

The Government should ammend the University and College Act so that students are not shut off in a 'nutshell'. We do not want our Youth to be 'robots' but we want them to be energetic, resourceful and creative citizens of Malaysia. They are our future leaders and generation. This Act has closed their minds and hearts to being 'free as a bird'. If the Government wants to address the Youth of the nation effectively, it should set them 'free' and then only the younger generations will support BN. Then only the younger generation will respect the Government and its leaders. As proof, the majority of students are not supporting the Government. Only the vested-interest groups are supporting the Government.

Issue 4

We believe in the total freedom of speech, expression and assembly to the letter (even among families). We believe that the citizens of Malaysia are wise enough to make choices between good and bad. If they do good, they will be rewarded and if they do bad, they will be punished.

So, the Government need not feel intimidated by allowing this total freedom to the citizens of Malaysia. The Government must liberate all its mainstream media, be it electronic or print, to be at par with world standards or even better. Then only the younger generations especially the professionals will support BN and respect the Government and its leaders and not just be 'tripods'. As proof, Zam has lost in this GE.

Issue 5

As everyone knows, when the price of petrol goes up, all other related essential goods and services go up else well. So, this is the key factor in the economy and this is also one of the big factors that has cost BN dearly in this GE.

So, we recommend the Government not to increase the petrol price and all other essential goods. We believe it can be done. If the Government cannot do it, seek the help of Anwar's team when he goes to Parliament this next few months.

The Government must realize that low and middle-income citizens strive daily and monthly to make their budget ends meet. For the rich, a RM2 increase in petrol price will not even dent them. How about the poor farmers, fishermen, hawkers, petty traders and rural folks? The impact is devastating. The Government must always have these people in mind when doing any planning or policies that affect the economy. As proof, BN has lost an additional 4 states in this GE and almost lost Terengganu.

We will be monitoring all the promises made by all the victors in this GE, be it from the Government or the Opposition.

Best Regards.........
