Posted: 22 Jun 2013 02:44 PM PDT The previous Blackout 505 series rally before this saw 90% of the attendees were Chinese and only a few PKR Malays were seen at the protest site. PAS and its ever notorious Unit Amal are nowhere to be seen. However, in the height of the rally, the name was changed to Black505. Up until 12:30 this morning, most of the protestor is Malays which make up of the total numbers of the attendees. While the Chinese are nowhere to be seen. From the 7 gathering point, only one location have sizeable amount of protestor where 200-300 people were seen. Meanwhile, at the PAS headquarters in Jalan Raja Laut, the attendance is less then all of the previous rallies. Malays from the PKR party was the majority while PAS was scarce. Is this a grim reminder that Anwar Ibrahim has lost his touch? Absence of the Chinese shows the true nature of the Chinese community as they are only using the Malays to show that they are powerful. They started the rally by spreading hate in the preliminary rally that was organized all over the country. When the time comes for them to show up at the main event, they stand behind and send Malays from PKR and PAS to fight in the front line. We know that the Chinese are scared there might be military intervention in the Black505 rally. They are also scared of the "Jihad" call by Husam Musa. What they understand by PAS call for "Jihad" means that PAS members are ready to die, while the Chinese are not willing to do so. The saying "Chinese are afraid to die" seems correct. If up until now, there are no attendance from the Chinese, it means Anwar Ibrahim needs to rethink its cooperation with the DAP. Remember that the MCA has already stabbed BN on the back, and the DAP has already "rode" PAS and PKR, it would be easier for them to stab the Pakatan Rakyat. Just imagine after fighting together for so long, suddenly the DAP only send PKR and PAS to face the Police and maybe also the army, while the DAP sits at home enjoying the weekend without any worries. Anyway, after the rally ends, the amount of attendees are only 20,000 people and almost 90% of them are Malays. How can you topple the government with only 20,000 people? |
Pressure on Opposition to Show Political Maturity When Parliament Begins Posted: 22 Jun 2013 09:40 AM PDT On Friday, the full dress rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the first meeting of the first session of the 13th Parliament passed without a hitch. Now all eyes are on the Opposition next week to see whether they can behave maturely when they take their oaths and their seats in the Dewan Rakyat. On Tuesday at 10am the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah will deliver his royal address, officially opening the 16-day session. However his delivery, along with the display from the guard-of-honour by the 1st Battalion Royal Malay Regiment may well prove to be the only moment of decorum on the day, as Pakatan Rakyat continues to threaten unrest. The simple fact is that since May 5 the number of elected Opposition MPs that have shown any sense of responsibility has been worryingly low. Between outrageous threats of parliamentary boycott and the on-going Black 505 rallies (set to reach a crescendo Saturday at Padang Merbok), Pakatan Rakyat have left voters with no doubt in their minds on where their priorities lie. "What else do they plan to do, the opposition?" asked Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein this week. "You cannot have the cake and eat it too. The public can see that they are not sincere or responsible. All they want is to engage in endless politicking." With 133 seats held by Barisan Nasional compared to 89 for Pakatan Rakyat, the clamour of voices will be more balanced than ever before. In an alternate reality such a balance might be construed as a positive sign for Malaysian politics – a moment when democracy can really shine. But with continued irresponsible and unruly behaviour from certain Pakatan firebrands, the outlook is less rosy. Any fallout from Saturday's rally could well spill over to next week's session, cheapening the rakyat's victory at GE13. |
