The Opposition parties do not seem to be interested in the national decline in the last quarter of a century, not bothered about Malaysia rising up again to become a great world-class country as they are only concerned about further dividing Malaysians by exploiting the 2R issues of race and religion

Watching the political scenario in Malaysia in the last one year, the Opposition parties do not seem to be interested in the national decline in the last quarter of a century, not bothered about Malaysia rising up again to become a great world-class country as they are only concerned about further dividing Malaysians by exploiting the 2R issues of race and religion.
If there is a Commission of Inquiry whether there is a Tan Sri who is a communist, anti-Malay, anti-Islam, and promoting Islamophobia, I am prepared to give full co-operation

Former Aliran President, P. Ramakrishnan proposed that an independent commission of inquiry be set up to find out whether there is a Tan Sri who is a communist, anti-Malay, anti-Islam, and promoting Islamophobia.
Proposal that all contesting parties and candidates in the six state polls on August 12 enter into an agreement not to exploit the 3R issues and to set up a mechanism to expose lies, falsehood, fake news and hate speech

Can the six state polls in Penang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu on August 12 be a clean and honest one, and not drowned in a tsunami of lies, falsehood, fake news, and hate speech?
Annuar Musa is trying to make himself a popular ceramah speaker by linking me to the May 13 racial riots, but this is my last statement on Annuar Musa and I will not mention his name until after the six state polls

I have instituted legal proceedings against Annuar Musa not to threaten or to cow him but to clear my name as he linked me to the May 13, 1969 riots and alleged that I had caused the May 13 riots.
Annuar Musa’s linkage of me with May 13, 1969 racial riots reminds me of the film Tanda Putera where I was alleged to have urinated in the residence of Selangor Mentri Besar and caused May 13 riots

Islam and other religions are not under threat in Malaysia and anyone who creates such scare stories is polarising race and religious relations and undermining national unity, and stern action should be taken against them.

Fully support Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah to have zero tolerance for incitement of racial and religious fear and hatred in plural Malaysia

The speech yesterday by Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah not to tolerate attempts to incite racial and religious hatred which would provoke hostilities in Perak should be the national policy of the country.
I call on the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim to have zero tolerance for incitement of racial and religious fear and hatred in plural Malaysia as it can destroy the country.
Advice to Muhyiddin and Hadi not to be desperadoes and not to go against the teachings of Islam and all great religions not to resort to lies and falsehood just for worldly gains

I arrived in Penang only at 5.30 am this morning.
After logging about 15,000 kilometres in the two-week election campaign since Nomination Day on Nov 5, 2022, covering Penang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Pahang, Malacca, Johore, Sabah and Sarawak to campaign for Pakatan Harapan candidates and Pakatan Harapan President Anwar Ibrahim to be made the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia to head a Pakatan Harapan Federal Government in Putrajaya, speaking at two to three ceramahs a night, I took the last flight from Kuala Lumpur to Penang at 11.20 pm yesterday, 16th November 2022.
Will Muhyiddin support strong and effective action against hate speech and hate crimes which, if unchecked, would plunge Malaysia into greater disunity and polarisation resulting in a failed state
Posted by Kit in DAP, Fake News, Hate Speech, Muhyiddin Yassin on Wednesday, 17 February 2021
(Tatal ke bawah untuk kenyataan versi BM)
Malaysia urgently needs strong and effective action against hate speech and hate crimes which, if unchecked, could plunge Malaysia into greater disunity and polarisation resulting in a failed state.
Malaysia’s diversity must be regarded as an asset and not a liability – not just during the launching of national unity plans or blueprints but at all times so that Malaysia can benefit and leverage on our unique position as the confluence of diverse races, languages, religion, cultures and even civilisations.

Three existential threats to mankind – nuclear weapons, climate change and Internet information warfare
Posted by Kit in Fake News, Hate Speech on Thursday, 12 December 2019
Sixteen-year-old Swede, Greta Thunberg has been named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2019.
The teenage climate activist was the odds-on favourite to win this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, but it was awarded to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, for his efforts to “achieve peace and international cooperation.”
Greta inspired millions of young people to take action against climate change, launching a grassroots campaign when she was 15, skipping school every Friday to demonstrate outside the Swedish Parliament, pushing for her government to meet its ambitious goals to curb carbon emissions.
Her actions quickly captured people’s imagination, and in September this year millions of people took to the streets in cities across the world to support her cause.
This is a significant event and reason why Malaysians must pay greater attention to the issue of climate change, which has been described for over a decade as one of the two existential threats to humanity, with the planet earth depicted as “on a runaway train to ecological and climate collapse”.
But a third existential threat to humanity joined the twin causes of potential global catastrophes, i.e. nuclear warfare and climate change, this year. Read the rest of this entry »
Malaysians must not allow extremists to turn Malaysia into a deeply polarised nation through unchecked dissemination of irresponsible and incendiary fake news and hate speech
Posted by Kit in Fake News, Hate Speech on Wednesday, 11 December 2019
Malaysians must not allow extremists to turn Malaysia into a deeply polarised nation through unchecked dissemination of irresponsible and incendiary fake news and hate speech, creating deep divisions in the country and corroding basic political institutions, fuelling societal anger, ultimately endangering democracy and the nation itself.
Recently, there have been many examples of such irresponsible and inflammable fake news and hate speech in multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-cultural and multi-religious Malaysia.
The most recent instance was the speech by a Penang State UMNO leader and
Barisan Nasional Penang State Secretary, Datuk Omar Faudzar at the UMNO General Assembly accusing the DAP of importing “phantom voters” from China to obtain more numbers through Chinese nationals.
He told the UMNO General Assembly that if 5,000 of the Chinese nationals are placed in each of the Parliamentary constituencies, “all of our MPs will be wiped out”.
Fake news and hate speech an urgent challenge as they can not only destroy Pakatan Harapan Government but Malaysia’s hopes to become a top world-class nation
Posted by Kit in Fake News, Hate Speech, PH Government on Wednesday, 27 November 2019
The topic tonight “Democracy in a Polarised Age” is most relevant.
For over a decade, democracy in the world is in retreat, despite isolated reverses as witnessed in Malaysia last year and recently in the presidential elections in Indonesia.
In Malaysia, the hopes of Malaysians for the first peaceful and democratic transition of power in six decades to reset nation-building policies to build a New Malaysia have turned sour and there is an urgent need for the realisation of the promises and pledges of the Pakatan Harapan Manifesto in the 14th General Election.
We are in a very polarised age, not only in Malaysia but worldwide and the problem has taken a new shape in the era of the Internet, celebrating its 30th anniversary.
A few days ago, the inventor of the world wide web, Tim Beners-Lee announced a global plan to save the web. Read the rest of this entry »
Patriotic Malaysians must reject the post-14GE Siren Song which can only end up in Malaysia becoming a failed, rogue and kleptocratic state but which is becoming stronger and more brazen because of desperation
Posted by Kit in Economics, Hate Speech on Wednesday, 16 October 2019
The Siren Song sung after the historic May 9, 2018 decision in the 14th General Election is becoming louder and more brazen because of desperation.
Patriotic Malaysians must reject this Siren Song for it can only end up in Malaysia becoming a failed, rogue and kleptocratic state.
The whole purpose of this Siren Song is not to compete with Pakatan Harapan government to make Malaysia a top world-class nation of unity, justice, freedom, excellence and integrity and to show the world that Malaysia is a success story from the Alliance of Civilisations and not a basket-case of a failure from the Clash of Civilisations, but to destroy the Pakatan Harapan Government, even if the price is to usher in an era of division and instability and to destroy the Malaysian nation altogether.
Immediately after the 14th General Election, these conspirators had hoped that Pakatan Harapan Government would disintegrate and implode from internal contradictions because it was an untested coalition of four political parties – DAP, PKR, Bersatu and Amanah.
When this did not take place, the decision was taken to launch an untrammelled campaign of lies, fake news and hate speech to destabilise the country and incite inter-racial and inter-religious polarisation and conflict, and this is why Malaysia has suddenly become a major test-case in the world as to whether a multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-cultural nation like Malaysia can survive the existential threat posed by fake news and hate speech.

Don’t deregister UMNO – let it self-destruct!
Posted by Kit in DAP, Hate Speech, nation building, UMNO on Tuesday, 3 September 2019
Jangan batalkan pendaftaran UMNO — biarlah ia musnah dengan sendiri!
Saya bersetuju dengan Ahli Parlimen DAP Kepong Lim Lip Eng yang mana kerajaan tidak sepatutnya membatalkan pendaftaran UMNO kerana kesalahan para pemimpinnya. Namun begitu, politik kotor parti tersebut haruslah dibendung.
Saya percaya bahawa kerajaan Pakatan Harapan harus mengambil kedudukan yang lebih tinggi dan berikan ruang dan masa untuk UMNO memperbetulkan salahlakunya.
Sepanjang lima tahun di antara 2013 sehingga 2018, DAP pernah menghadapi situasi yang sama di mana Kabinet Najib mempertimbangkan pembubaran secara haram parti ini berdasarkan pelbagai tuduhan yang dibuat-buat.
Dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 yang berlangsung pada 5 Mei 2013 yang lalu, rejim Najib hanya berubah fikiran pada saat terakhir daripada keputusan untuk mengharamkan penggunaan simbol roket DAP pada PRU tersebut.
Sebelum PRU14, rejim Najib merasakan sangat yakin dengan kebolehan mereka untuk memenangi sehingga ⅔ kerusi Parlimen sehingga mereka memutuskan untuk tidak menggantung pendaftaran DAP — yang berasaskan tuduhan kononnya pilihan raya dalaman parti pada Disember 2012 dilaksanakan dengan cara yang tidak demokratik dan melanggar undang-undang — dan sebaliknya memilih untuk mengharamkan Parti Bersatu yang baru ditubuhkan.

Shocking that some Opposition leaders who were formerly in government are defying royal advice about fake news and hate speech and totally reckless about jeoparding national unity in Malaysia
Posted by Kit in Hate Speech, nation building on Monday, 2 September 2019
I am shocked and surprised that some Opposition leaders who were formerly in government are defying royal advice about fake news and hate speech and totally reckless about jeopardising national unity in Malaysia.
I would advise these Opposition leaders, who were formerly government leaders, to repent and to heed the advice of the various Rulers and play their part to curb fake news and hate speech dominating the social media.
The Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah for instance had said that after 62 years of achieving independence, the act of instilling the feeling of hatred between the races and religions was being committed more often.
He expressed his concern that the political climate in the country after the 14th general election was getting hotter through acts carried out by political leaders.
He said various provocations, which were extreme in nature, were being made, including disseminating slander through social media and insulting Islam and the various religions in the country.
He warned that such acts were like setting up time bombs which were waiting for the right time to explode. Read the rest of this entry »
Senator Khairul is right if he is asking for safeguards against abuses with regard to MCMC hotline but wrong and utterly irresponsible if he is proposing a “free for all” for hate speech to incite racial and religious distrust, animosity and hatred in plural Malaysia
Posted by Kit in Hate Speech, nation building on Monday, 19 August 2019
UMNO Senator who was formerly UMNO Youth deputy leader Khairul Azwan Harun is right if he is asking for safeguards against abuses with regard to Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) hotline on inflammatory speech but wrong and utterly irresponsible if he is proposing a “free-for-all” for hate speech to incite racial and religious distrust, animosity and hatred in plural Malaysia.
Are Malaysians of diverse races and religions more united as a Malaysian people in the past 15 months after the historic decision of the 14th General Election on May 9, 2018, or are they more polarised and divided?
The answer must be the sad latter, not because the Pakatan Harapan Government in Putrajaya had disregarded its responsibility to unite Malaysians regardless of race, religion or region but because of a vicious phenomenon in the Internet era which has given new wings to hate speech, endowing it with great destructive power especially in plural societies unless checked.
What is hate speech?
Hate speech is defined by Wikipedia as a statement intended to demean and brutalize another, or the use of cruel and derogatory language on the basis of real or alleged membership in a social group. Read the rest of this entry »
