Referring to the Harakahdaily's report (Najib's latest 'threat' reminds of 'crushed bodies' speech: Lim), I believe many a peace-loving Malaysian will not condone the PM's 'threats'.
I, for one, have been very disheartened by his recent threat of "crushed bodies, lives lost" in order to defend UMNO's Federal power. His warning was expressed in the strongest term ever, and has total disregard for democracy and the Federal constitution which allows the installation of Federal government by way of democratic process.
Such 'threat' might also trigger unrest by certain negative-thinking individuals which, in turn, could escalate into epidemic proportions. By then, this beloved country would become a pariah state paving the way for emergency rule by the same brand of leaders.
The question now is, who and how to deal with this sort of 'threat' as it came out from the mouth of the highest executive himself who are supposed to be the advocate of peace, stability and good governance? Threatening Malaysians at large like to instil fear among them is a surefire way to get a deep hurt.
Malaysians have no choice under the current regime but to endure its 53 years of malpractice in the context of a good governance. We have heard of serious allegations involving the highest level ruling elites of corrupt practices which tarnish the image of Malaysia. If the said corrupt practices are true and left unchecked, these might gradually evaporate the country's wealth and natural resources and there will be nothing left for our future generations. The current mounting debts could also most probably doom the country to bankruptcy. It is high time that we CHANGE!
The 'threats' are the regime's newest arsenals being deployed to silence the masses and also reinforce its grip on power. We have already suffered enough and the new sets of censorship laws recently passed in parliament have further aggravated the problem of already diminishing rights of every citizen. These laws are serious encroachments on freedoms of expression, assembly and association which are guaranteed under the Federal constitution. If we love this country, we, as responsible citizens, should wisely use our voting right in the imminent GE13 in order to save Malaysia before it is too late.
