Imagine what the Police would have done if there is a clutch of six NGOs which held a demonstration yesterday afternoon which offered RM1,200 reward to anyone who dared to slap the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak and provide photographic evidence of their action, followed by the slaughter of two chicken and the smearing of their blood on a banner featuring photographs of UMNO Ministers including the Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin?
If there had been such a demonstration, the entire force of the Royal Malaysian Police led by the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar himself would have landed on the 30 odd demonstrators from the six NGOs like a ton of bricks and all the demonstrators would instantly be held under lock and key, subject to rigorous investigation and swift prosecution not only for violating the Peaceful Assembly Act in not giving police the minimum of 10-day notification of an assembly, but the more heinous crimes of causing ‘hurt’ to parliamentary democracy under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 [Sosma] and a battery of other charges under the Sedition Act, Penal Code, etc. which would probably keep them behind bars for the best part of their lives.
In actual fact, the clutch of six NGOs of some 30 people would not even be able to start slaughtering any innocent chicken, for they would have been packed into the “Black Marias” before they could gather, as the police would have got wind of their intentions well in advance.
The Malaysian Special Branch is undoubtedly one of the best of its kind in the world, thanks to the British colonial legacy and the primacy it has always enjoyed in the police hierarchy with collection of intelligence to protect the present regime as the top police priority when in a truly democratic society, the top police priority should be to promote and protect parliamentary democracy and human rights.
It would be completely inconceivable that media representatives from both printed and electronic media could be informed to give full coverage to the chicken-slaughtering and blood-smearing demonstration yesterday without the police having any inkling of the event before-hand – which could call for a complete shake-up of the Special Branch and even sacking of the Special Branch director.
I have greater respects for the professionalism of the Special Branch, and this would mean that the police must have known beforehand the demonstration planned by the cluster of six NGOs which called itself the Council of Islamic NGOs, comprising Pertubuhan Permuafakatan Majlis Ayahanda Malaysia (Permas), Pertubuhan Kebajikan Islam dan Dakwah (Pekida), Pertubuhan Kebajikan Insan Bakti Malaysia (Perkib), Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) and Martabat Jalinan Muhibbah Malaysia (MJMM).
Up to now, both the Police and the Barisan Nasional government have maintained a thunderous silence to the outrageous, provocative and seditious demonstration yesterday which openly incited racial and religious hatred and threatened another May 13 in the country over Teresa Kok’s “Onederful Malaysia CNY 2014” which critiqued the Barisan Nasional government failings and weaknesses, but which has made no reference to race and religion.
There have been allegations that Teresa’s video is anti-Malay and anti-Islam and I have invited those who made these allegations to step into the open to show where in the video there are anti-Malay and anti-Islam references.
If the critics can show that Teresa’s video have anti-Malay and anti-Islam references, I will publicly ask Teresa to take the necessary remedial action. But up to now, there have been no takers to my proposal.
I find it most regrettable that both the new MCA President, Datuk Liow Tiong Lai and the new MCA Deputy President, Datuk Dr. Wee Ka Siong, like their other MCA leaders who have jumped on the Barisan Nasional bandwagon to attack Teresa’s video, are unable to show that there is anything anti-Malay or anti-Islam in the video, but they continue to egg on, even aid and abet, intemperate and extremist protests against Teresa for the video.
I think all decent and right-thinking Malaysians are entitled to ask the IGP, the Home Minister, the Prime Minister, and the UMNO and MCA leadership why the double standards if there had been a clutch of six NGOs offering RM1,200 reward to anyone to slap the Prime Minister and smearing the blood of slaughtered chicken on a banner featuring photographs of UMNO Ministers as compared to the demonstration yesterday of six NGOs offering RM1,200 reward to anyone to slap Teresa Kok and the slaughter and smearing of chicken blood on banner featuring Pakatan Rakyat leaders!
It is such double standards afflicting police and the major national institutions, when they should be non-partisan, impartial and professional which is the continuing cause of the national crisis of confidence over the lack of good governance, accountability and transparency in Malaysia.
While the acts of these so-called “NGOs” is digusting, honestly as Supremacists, they are really…well..pathetic. Paying a measly RM1,200 (only one by the way) to do what they won’t do by themselves? I mean even in their ill-intentions, they are over-entitled? they won’t do their own dirty work? AND stingy at that?
They are a freaking JOKE to other Supremacist around the world.
Sometimes in this country, the thing to be thankful for is not so obvious. These guys need to be stopped because they can cause real damage and tragedy to someone(s) sooner or later. But mass damage, they are incapable. they are literally failures even at their worst.
What the so-caled “NGOs” did amount to at least Criminal Threat, a misdemeanor, and in most places its actually criminal terror, a crime. More accurately solicitation of a criminal act, a criminal act also.
But I will try to say it again. Its pathetic even if its a serious criminal act. Pathetic criminals is what they are..
Mr Lim,
The perverted logic of the Police Inspector-General permits the application of double standards to second-class Malaysians, i.e. non-UMNO/BN supporters.
I will bet that chickens all over Malaysia would be extremely grateful to PDRM for those double standards during any protests by pro-Pakatan supporters.
I cannot confirm if there is now a plot by chickens in Malaysia to infiltrate PDRM and UMNO to ensure that no chickens will be harmed in the future when such protests are conducted by pro-UMNO/BN supporters.
This particular fiasco may provide a reason for that age-old conundrum :-
Why did the chicken cross the road?
It was trying to escape a protest by the Council of Islamic NGOs.
Please note that no chickens were harmed in the writing of this comment.
When fools are put into positions of power,all they do is create havoc in the peaceful surrounding atmosphere and the people that they are suppose to represent or protect.They always acted in good faith,like professional circus clowns.Morons as they are,more stupid than fools.
When it comes down to hoodlums and gangsters affilated to the ruling regime,the police are like dogs without teeth and cannot bite.
What good is the gomen and the police force when innocents are thrown into jail and beaten up like animals,while the real criminals are running loose like crazy dogs after bitches on heat.
What would happen? Sensitive, easily confused and offended people will go ballistic and run amuck. And the powers there be will be only too glad to make that all important declaration like what their fathers did.
So don’t even mention or suggest anything of this sort as they will now turn their attention against you yet again and keep you occupied.
What we need are cooler and calmer heads now and address the problem from other effective perspectives.
Why is the NUCC and our Ministers so quiet on this?
So you see umno is all about money and rewards.
Even that perverted and completely out of this world incentive to slap teresa took the form of money.
Tu dia umno yang sebenar. Money. Reward. Money. Reward.
Endless possibilities.
Unlimited stupidity.
Kangkung mentality.
