A civilized approach for UMNO youth was to issue public notification for Karpal Singh to repeat what he had said, if UMNO youth intended to be civil and to take the matter to the proper place, the court. But UMNO youth challenged Karpal to repeat whatever said for them to hear. Had Karpal obliged, they would be expected to use brute force, rather than taking legal action.

The way UMNO youth members acted shows that they intended to intimidate the public by showing that they were able to get away from the law for doing what they did.

The UMNO youth chief shows that he is not fit to be even a kampong leader when he considered a wrong response to a wrong statement is justified. His bosses in UMNO have been very quiet. That could be because the ruffians that went to parliament might have been given the green light to do so. It was the intention to tell the public that the country is a police state, and the police is under total control of UMNO. The people then should not expect the UMNO to follow the law, if they did not want to. The regime change is just a harbinger of other unpleasant events come April.

///The special rights, privileges and supremacy of the majority should not be questioned as racial harmony is an integral part in any multi racial society. ///

That is a basic and primary cause of the breakdown of a society. If it was not because people can get away from natural justice, they will know what shame is. It was because of the desire to help those who were weak, however Tun Dr Ismail considered them to be, that the leaders of the three major communities in the country decided prior to Malaya independence that special assistance was provided to the community which was said to have the largest number of such needy people, and that the assistance was to be euphemistically known as special privilege. It was a euphemism used to preserve the pride of those who needed assistance. It should be reminded that as the late Tun Ismail put it, the Malays themselves would be willingly giving up the special assistances, the crutch as others call it, when they no longer require them, out of pride. Now, when people argue that special privilege is there because of birth right, then it says that Tun Ismail did not anticipate that some Malays would not give up the special assistance, out or pride, because they have no sense of shame.

///On the political situation in Perak, Abdullah said he could not understand why Speaker V. Sivakumar resorted to the controversial action of calling for an emergency sitting of the state assembly when the country was plagued with more serious economic problems.
He said since Pakatan Rakyat had brought the validity of the Mentri Besar to court, the Speaker should have waited for the court’s decision.///–Star online 4 March 2009
PM AAB asked a pertinent question, but to the wrong person. The country was facing serious economic problems when Najib decided a month ago that the Kataks whose status as SDUN are questionable counted towards supporting BN, and grabbed power of Perak resulting in the legality of which being subject to court ruling. It was Najib’s action that set the train of unbecoming events in the country. The question AAB asked of Speaker Sivakumar should have first been asked of Najib. PM AAB dared not asked Najib that question because he is subservient to Najib as proof that he could not even stick to him own exit plan. Why then did he choose to make stupid statement? Probably he has to do it to maintain his life after office.
The country is a police state, and that was why AAB asked Zambry, the questionable second MB of Perak, to make police report. So police is the highest authority on the land authorized to decide whether a meeting called for the meeting of elected ADUNs of Perak by the Speaker of the Perak Legislative Assembly was legal. The police have chosen to use the law which was meant to prevent illegal assembly of persons who are thought to be liable to cause physical violence to stop elected representatives and the speaker to perform their official function under the law. The government of BN and the government of Pakatan might differ on the legality of the decision resulting from the proposed gathering they have the court to decide, based on rule of law. The police have neither the authority nor competence to decide on the matter and as a government institution which should be neutral to political parties, the police should have provided the required protection to the meeting so that ruffians would not try to endanger the lives of the elected ADUNS. But the police have chosen to take side. The IGP might not know his job, but the PM suggesting that Police had the authority to intervene did not help.
Malaysian government has been investing heavily on a portion of the people who have been recruited to serve in government services. But all those resources have been wasted. Had the government not chosen to invest so heavily on them, with an eye for the ballot boxes, the country might not be so near to conditions in Zambabwe. The only chance for the country to recover is to repeat history. The fate of colonization might return.
