THE LESSON FROM JAPAN
By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on September 11, 2009 8:19 AM
1. The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan which had ruled the country since World War II has been trounced by the Democratic Party of Japan in the recent election.
2. This follows the trend which many political parties which had struggled and achieved independence had undergone. The Mashumi Party of Indonesia, the Muslim League of Pakistan, the parties which wrested independence for numerous African countries have all but disappeared.
3. It seems as if the people no longer cared for the struggles and the sacrifices that had been made by those parties and their leaders. It seems as if the beneficiaries of these struggles do not know how to be grateful.
4. But is it true that they are ungrateful? There is some truth but if we care to examine we will find that the independence fighters, and their successors, the builders of the countries after independence have changed almost completely.
5. They have almost all become greedy and arrogant. They no longer care for the country or the people.They are almost invariably preoccupied with their status and their selfish needs. They have lost touch with their followers or the descendants of their followers. The spirit which had moved their founders seem no longer to be there.
6. Will UMNO and the BN - the successors of the Alliance which had wrested independence for Malaysia escape the fate that had befallen all these pioneer parties? From present showing it is likely that they would share the same fate.
7. That the rot has set in there can be no doubt. Corruption is now rampant in UMNO and the other component parties. Power struggles have emasculated them. Leaders have a strong desire to stay in office even though they have outlived their usefulness.
8. With such leaders the country and the people have been neglected. In the last decade despite talks of billions of Ringgit being allocated for corridors etc. there is no visible or tangible evidence. There is nothing to show for the 250 billion Ringgit extra that Petronas had paid to the Government.
9. It is strange to find that Malaysia has been outstripped by its neighbours. It is no longer the leading nation in the region. Certainly it is no longer regarded as a model.
10. Malaysia's voters, especially the Malays have always been strongly loyal. Yet there is evidence that in 2008 many of these loyalists had voted for the opposition. States which had been Barisan Nasional strongholds are now ruled by the opposition.
11. Will the next election see the same phenomenon as in Japan? It is not entirely impossible. The younger voters are said to be disenchanted by the party that won the independence. That was history and it has less meaning for the young.
12. The only thing that would save the BN is the lack-luster performance of the opposition. The alternative is not a real alternative. But if the performance of the BN Government and parties fails to gain confidence, the frustrated voters might just do what the Japanese voters did - dump the party they had supported for more than half a century.
13. It behoves the BN to take notice of the inevitability of the demise of the party which had gained independence for the country. It had staved off the fate before. Can it do so again?
14. In just three years' time the new elections will be held. Time is obviously running short. Unless some drastic change is shown in the way the country is run and the people are served, the BN will join the other grand old party in the rubbish heap of history.
<< nampaknya...geng UMNO dah nak start gelabah....

11 penunjuk perasaan didakwa hari ini

SHAH ALAM 8 Sept. - Seramai 11 penunjuk perasaan yang terlibat dalam perhimpunan di hadapan bangunan Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri (SUK) bagi membantah cadangan membina kuil di kawasan kediaman mereka akan dihadapkan ke Mahkamah Seksyen di sini, esok.
Kesemua mereka adalah penduduk Seksyen 23 termasuk pemimpin badan bertindak penduduk kawasan itu.
Utusan Malaysia difahamkan, kesemua individu terbabit diperintahkan hadir ke mahkamah berkenaan pada pukul 9 pagi bagi menghadapi dua pertuduhan.
Ada antara mereka yang menunjuk perasaan sambil memijak kepala lembu akan didakwa mengikut Seksyen 4(1) Akta Hasutan dan secara pilihan menurut Seksyen 298 Kanun Keseksaan.
Malah, penunjuk perasaan juga turut berhadapan dengan satu lagi pertuduhan mengikut Seksyen 27(5) Akta Polis kerana berhimpun secara haram.
Pada 28 Ogos lalu, penduduk Islam Seksyen 23 mengadakan bantahan di hadapan bangunan SUK setelah tidak berpuas hati dengan keputusan kerajaan negeri untuk mengalihkan kuil Sri Maha Mariaman dari Seksyen 19 ke kawasan berhampiran kediaman mereka.
Perhimpunan tersebut bagaimanapun bertukar kecoh apabila ada kalangan mereka mengarak kepala lembu sehingga mencetuskan rasa kurang senang penganut Hindu yang menganggap tindakan sedemikian menghina agama mereka.
Timbalan Pengerusi Badan Bertindak Penduduk Seksyen 23, Ibrahim Sabri dalam kenyataan media pada 30 Ogos lalu mendakwa tidak tahu-menahu dari mana datangnya kepala lembu itu dalam perhimpunan berkenaan.
Malah, beliau menjelaskan penduduk sekadar menganggap kepala haiwan berkenaan simbol kebodohan kerajaan negeri pakatan pembangkang yang membuat keputusan membina kuil tanpa terlebih dahulu merujuk kepada penduduk Islam yang merupakan majoriti di kawasan
<<<< apa crita Menteri Dalam Negeri...hari tu beriya2 kata jgn salahakan penunjuk perasaan...nih dah pegi kot nih..guna ler power yang ada tuh tuk halang..hahaha..Lembik sungguh la Menteri Dalam Negeri terlatest nih....leMbikkkkkk......

kata Hishamuddim sang Kelembai
Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein pointed out that the residents felt victimized and had no intention to stir racial emotion.
“They are not getting off scot-free. They felt victimised and feel that there is another valid explanation on their part. There was no intention on their part to cause racial divide. They, the organisers, who are sitting left and right of me, didn’t even know that somebody was going to bring the head of the cow during that demonstration.” he said.
He added that the residents only wanted their voices to be heard but it was unfortunate that “the publicity they received was negative because it was linked with racial and religious sentiments.”
A group, claiming to be Muslim residents of Section 23 in Shah Alam, the new site of a Hindu temple, held a demonstration outside the Selangor state secretariat last Friday, dragging a severed cow-head, an animal sacred in Hinduism, which they stomped on and spat at under the gaze of the riot police.
The act was carried out by a group of 50 protestors who oppose the relocation of the Sri Mahamariamman Temple to Section 23 from Section 19, claiming the area is mainly occupied by Malay-Muslims.
The 150-year-old temple was built on a plantation which over the years was developed into housing estates by the Selangor Development Corporation (PKNS). No provisions were made to relocate the temple, which is now in the middle of a Muslim majority area.
Hishammuddin told reporters that the police allowed the demonstrators to proceed because the numbers of protestors were small.
“They said that they were very conscious and all that they wanted to do was to voice their unhappiness about the willingness of the state government to listen to their requests. I was told that even the Hindus there are not so passionate that it is built there (section 23),” he said.
Hishammuddin refuted claims that the protest was organised by Umno and said that the location allocated by the state government is not suitable because Section 23 is predominantly Malay.
However, a check last week showed the neighbourhood was multi-racial, with Indians making up more than a quarter of those who live there.
“If I wanted to use the issue to create chaos in Selangor, I can but we didn’t take such actions,” Hishammuddin said.
He tried to play down the cow-head incident by pointing out that there were previous incidents where a pig-head was used.
“I have it in my records to show there were cases where a pig-head was used by irresponsible parties including leaving the head in front of an Umno building covered by an Umno flag,” he said, but offered no details of such an act.
The Umno vice-president warned irresponsible parties not to provoke racial sentiments because it goes against the concept of 1 Malaysia.
Hishammuddin told reporters that the residents had met with Hindu Sangam two days ago and both parties will be releasing a media statement tomorrow.
“If it can be resolved quickly and can be done with both sides understanding each other ... why would we want to penalise anybody?” he said, suggesting he was not in favour of legal action to be taken against any of the protestors.
