Malaysians are losing their right every day by living in Malaysia especially among the minority,it is a classic example of following the foot step of Indonesia or Saudi Arabia by this Government.

The scene is cover with tear gas and police trying to massacre all these Malaysians in Kuala Lumpur,it is sad to see our fellow citizens are brutalized by the police just because they want to exercise their right in a democratic country, all these violences on them are unnecessary after all these suffering they gone through from discrimination to destroy of their temples in the hand of the government they elected.

I am a Malay and I’ve voted for DAP in the last election (Bukit Gelugor Parliamentary Seat). So did my both parents. And Karpal Singh won!

And we would have no problem voting for the opposition, whether DAP, PAS, Keadilan or even Independent in the next election.

This rallies that we have been having is a show of democracy. We are constantly surprised and brain wash by Umno that many have lost the passion of being a Malaysian. Regardless if it’s â€œBersih rallyâ€ or â€œHindraf ralliesâ€, we are all not happy with our current institution and we demand a reform. I have spoken recently to Chinese, Indians and the Malays and they all agree that BN, Umno have all glued their butts on their sits way too long and would not budge. Malaysia had the longest ruling prime minister( Mahathair) and the longest ruling party in the world. We donâ€™t care if DAP or Parti Keadilan or even PAS will be able to rule the country well, we just want changes. The current politicians of ours are not doing a good job. Their ideas are old fashion and in consistent with globalization and not to mention narrow minded. If there are any Umno or BN politicians reading this, please for the sake of our country, step down. Let new generations with new ideas lead the way. NEP is not only paralyzing the country but itâ€™s also leading the Malays backwards. â€œNo pain no gainâ€. This phase has been with us for centuries with a reason.

Dear fellow Malaysians,

It is indeed sad and disheartening to witness yet another episode of downright bullying tactics employed by the police and executive branch of the governent to brazenly trampled on our sacred human rights of minorities in Malaysia.

The selective prosecution and unjustified intimidation and obtaining of court warrant to preemptively prevent the planned peaceful rally of Hindraf on Nov. 25 just go to show that the government of the day is only paying lip service to the United Nations Treaty on Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of which Malaysia is a signatory.

As if the non-indigeneous Malaysians have not suffered enough under the affirmative programmes of NEP already, even our minorities’ legitimate voices are presently being stifled with the flimsiest of excuse.

I’m am totally supportive of the Hindraf Rally just to express a grassroot movement’s voices to a foreign government. It in no way manifestedly represents a threat to public order. There may be insidious elements trying to exploit the situation; therein lies the duty of the police to ferret out, prevent and . if necessary, detain those trying to disrupt the peaceful and law-abiding activities of minoroties to legitimately express and assemble as guarantee under the Federal constitution.

Lastly, to end my thoughts on this matter, I’d just like to paraphrase the quote of the great visionary American president, John Fritzgerald Kennedy, that :
If the few who are rich cannot help the many who are poor, then, the many who are poor justifiably cannot guarantee the safety and prosperity of the few who are rich.
