Even then, some supporters of the Perak state assembly were there
to give moral support to the embattled state assemblymen and they
jeered defiantly at the huge police presence. Later, in the day,
actually, in the evening, the police was asking the mass media
to display and identify the faces of all those who were there. One
can see that the police was siding with the BN ruling class in the
morning by making sure that the state assembly had to conduct their
business under a tree and in the evening, the police was asking
the mass media to participate in collective intimidation against
the minority opposition. So much for 'democracy' in Malaysia.
This shameful event was later followed by the news that the autopsy
report of the late A. Kugan revealed that he had died from kidney
failure caused by multiple severe beatings while he was under police
detention and not because of something else as alleged earlier. In the
meantime, the police are issuing a stiff warning to the public not to
get involved in the planned action of going to the Parliament later
this week to submit a memorandum on the Feb 18 police slaying of six
men suspected to be criminals.
On the same day, two men made a public declaration that they would
file a court injunction to stop the UMNO party elections sheduled
for later this month if the investigations into money politics and
corruption were not resumed. The authorities had earlier claimed
that there was not 'enough evidence' to warrant any such further
investigations.
Also in the news was the issue of the ringgit losing its value to
the dollar to the lowest level in three years despite government
claims of chalking up uninterrupted trade surplus for more than one
hundred months. The daily news are filled with stories about the
difficulties faced by fishermen, rubber-tappers and small-time
traders as a result of the current economic crisis despite claims
by the BN ruling class of Malaysia being a 'safe haven'. The local
stock market is falling like a rock and people are getting restless.
The UMNO hotheads should provide real answers to several matters and
not issue threats or demand retractions.
1 .Why are certain jobs and positions out of bounds to other races ?
10. Why is it that government jobs are so scarce for the other races ?
We need not even have to ask about the GLCs. Now you know why so
many people today get themselves involved in drug peddling, wayside
robberies, illegal gambling, vice activities, piracy and kidnapping.
11. Why is it that many very bright students of the other races fail
to obtain scholarships every year ?
12. Why does the government keep maintaining a jaundiced eye towards
minority trading or business companies ?
Why is AirAsia treated like a stepchild compared to MAS ? Why are many
other companies also find themselves in the same straits as AirAsia ?
