The Thais have their red shirts protesters, yellow and blue too. I’m not sure about other colours but I’m not surprised if they have protesters in rainbow colors.
Yesterday show proof how the people’s power can influence government decision. It’s not far, what happened is just across the border up north.
Can we see that happening in Malaysia? Why not? I think it can happen in Malaysia. ‘Bersih’ rally showed how far we have gone and how far are we willing to submit ourselves to the cause.
The government have to take heed the current situation in Thailand. We have seen how the people’s power in Indonesia and their reform movement had influence Malaysian to go out to the street to express their anger.
We don’t want this to happen again. But we know what we’re capable to do. I hope the new government would not push us to the corner and make us release our demons.
Pak Lah made us do that. Despite being free from the colonial power, our freedom has been retarded by various methods. ISA has been used rather frequently and once has been used for someone’s safety. How ridiculous can that be?
The government doesn’t have to do much to keep the peace we’re enjoying today. What the government and the cabinet need to do is to make sure our rights are taken care, equality in every aspect of life (this is debatable), no abuse of power etc.
In a nutshell, take care the country like it should be. There shouldn’t be any flip-flopping decision, mismanagement, corruption and wastage of government’s money and resources.
If the new cabinet performs, there’s nothing to worry about. The rakyat will be extremely happy if the cabinet performs and the only party that would be unhappy is Pakatan Rakyat.
Najib have to make sure that his cabinet performs. And he mustn’t succumb to reasoning from Ministers that failed to do so.
Najib must not fail to take action against those who didn’t perform. Failure to do so will force the rakyat to take action. And once this happen, it’s not good for the nation.
I hope Najib will continue to listen to the rakyat. If he fails, he’ll be another Pak Lah. Visiting Petaling Street, Brickfields and Pantai Dalam is a good start. I remember when Pak Lah visited the Immigration Department in Damansara. Unfortunately it was his first and last spot check.
I hope Najib can do this regularly. The rakyat would be happy to see their Prime Minister face to face outside the idiot box. It’s a good PR too because nothing beats interpersonal communication.
