Malaysiakini: 'Pak Lah, step up or step down'

Malaysiakini VoxPop provides the rakyat true sentiment on the country political scene.

The fight among politicians and political parties are getting louder and creating much tension to the detrimental of the country. From what we see the PM just could not handle the situation but he himself is engaging in the tussle to stay in power. When is he going to wake up and act like a PM of a country.

I abstract a few paragraph to show how are the rakyat feelings. Read the rest at Malaysiakini.

CK Chim: The rakyat and foreign investors are fed up and have totally lost their trust in the justice system as well as the ability of Abdullah to arrest the current crisis of confidence in the country.

If BN wants to be relevant, Abdullah needs to stand up and exert his authority to implement immediately the following:

1. Revamp the entire police force in accordance to the recommendations of the recent police royal commission findings.

2. Implement fully the Judicial Appointments Commission which is independent of the executive and answerable to a parliamentary committee

3. Suspend all top officials who have been implicated in the Anwar and the Altantuya cases.

JKS: The refusal to pay the income tax suggested here is a legitimate method of civil disobedience advocated by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), American naturalist, philosopher, and author of the book Walden and an important essay ‘Civil disobedience’.

Thoreau had a major influence on leaders of non-violent resistance, such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Tax resistance on a large scale may be difficult to organise for now, but if the government deteriorates into a police state that fans racial or religious emotions, civil disobedience, including tax resistance, may be the only way to go for Malaysians to organise effective resistance while avoiding deep scarring of the society.

J Bao: I do not think Malaysians should waste anymore time and effort to argue or convince other Malaysians that the present BN government and all their machinery are corrupt as hell.

If there is still any doubt after the last 25 years of abuses, then either they are locked permanently a state of denial or a basket case.

The only Malaysians who still believe this government is credible are those who are corrupt themselves and have benefitted unscrupulously from the massive leakages all these years.

The cry from the rakyat for the government to stop all the nonsense can be heard throughout the country. Yet they are deaf to all the cries, insisting that blogs are all liars without realizing that their control medias are spinning the news to make them looks good.
