'New' video: UMNO-BN must abandon guttter politics

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 03:26 PM PDT

This type of sex-fixated smear politics was initiated by UMNO-BN during the Mahathir administration, when massive state resources were used to fabricate incredible sex-related charges and allegations against then Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Innocent individuals like Dr.Munawar Anees were arrested and tortured under the dreaded Internal Security Act, and forced to falsely implicate Anwar Ibrahim.

Continuing in this distasteful tradition, UMNO-BN now tries to hide its economic mismanagement, abuse of power and corrupt practices by conniving at fabricated sex videos. These videos are released periodically by a sleazy website which is aligned to UMNO and heaps vile abuse on the opposition.

During the earlier 'Datuk T' sex video fiasco, it was shocking to see the synchronised way in which public statements were being issued by the 'Datuk T trio, top Umno leaders and the police force leadership. It was nothing less than a carefully concerted effort to destroy the political career of Anwar Ibrahim and halt Pakatan Rakyat's march to Putrajaya.

It is surely no coincidence that this new video comes at a time when Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and his government are desperately trying to defend the recently tabled Budget 2012. The government's budget proposal has been convincingly exposed as dangerously weak and based on wildly optimistic growth projections.

The budget does nothing to address longstanding imbalances and distortions in the economy, and one-off handouts are irresponsibly promised in order to create a feel-good factor in the run-up to the 13th general election. Respected analysts and economists have slammed it, and the public is extremely disappointed. The government should withdraw and drastically amend their budget proposal, and not seek to distract the rakyat by condoning and conniving at the dissemination of more fabricated sex-videos.

We urgently call upon the Prime Minister, his government and top UMNO-BN leaders to abandon gutter politics, and dedicate themselves to the politics of rational debate and discourse.

Reason To Vote

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 03:24 PM PDT

In some countries (including Singapore), casting a vote is a citizen's responsibility. If you don't cast your vote you will be fined. In Malaysia, the TV used to air the 'Mari Mengundi' song which sings, " Marilah mari, pergi mengundi.. jangan lupa KEWAJIPAN (responsibility), pada negara". Is the government sending the correct message to the people?

Voting is not a responsibility to the Malaysians. It is just an 'OPTION' for those who are 21 years old and above. No action will be taken if they do not register or choose not to vote on the polling day. That is why many of us choose not to register, mainly because they don't care and they do not think it is their responsibility to vote for the next government. Even though they are 21 years old, but they do not have the maturity in believing that they NEED to vote for the best government. They are young and they are enjoying their life even though they do not vote. Most of them, do not believe that their vote can bring any change to the country. They take things for granted as they are convenient with the current lifestyle in Malaysia under the existing government.

They do not care how the tax money is being spent by the government as they do not pay any income tax due to minimal monthly salary received. That is why, they do not know that the government is wasting people's money for unnecessary payments and not serious in combating corruption. All these issues does not mean anything to them. So, why should they care to vote then?
