i want this country to be fair to everybody indian,muslims,and chinese..take the bumi status out,than you see how fair the country will go…i am not telling that all bumi’s should be taken out,its just that those who are so corrupted to the core like the old man and our deputy pm…just look a singapore how well the country is doing because of the right management,i dont say that there is no corruptin at all but very minimal,and look at malaysia!!! how back in terms of technology and everything right down to the bloody transport system…our legal system is so corrupted that even nowdays a judge can be bought,for an example if you kill someone in this country you can just of for free just by paying money…dont you think that so bad…we dont have the rights to speak out,and if you speak out it will be like speaking to a deaf person..

BERSIH must appoint Tun Salleh as the de facto watchdog chief to clean up this filthy judiciary in its long climb back to credibility. Tun Salleh must provide the ABCs to get out of his rut. Badawi and co will not know how. He will ask KJ…and we all know this lunatic has appointed Zaki the sex maniac to run Federal Court…..sheesh…..what a bunch of clowns….even schoolchildren wil be laughing their heads off…….Yep will be there.

Generally, Pak lah is weak in managing Malaysia. All these wont happen If he is strong and listen to his Rakyat upon appointed as PM.
My message to Pak Lah, “You are late but not TOO late to act”.

Is our consitutional valid? The NEP is outdated and need overhaul. We can reduce BN government to NIL if everybody have one heart one vision. Our PM only know how to talk and done nothing. He said that bersih jangan mencabar dia, yet the turn out is so great that a PM words was not healed. What a shame? Our judiciary system is so low that nowadays nobody tent to take serious note of our justice system. The rot can only be deleted if the present government don’t interfered with judiciary system. Let it be one man show. Dato’ Mohd. Narzi should be kick-out from the cabinet. Only with fair election and abolised of Postal Votes can democracy be review. The SPR are tool of the government and they only talk and never make serious suggestion to the government about postal votes. The army, police, local council carried out voting two earlier than anybody. The just need to sign surat sumpah and duit masuk before voting. What a shame? Long Live Our King.

Man, I wish I’m in Malaysia now to witness this historical main event but unfortunately I’m here in California, USA. But nevertheless, my heart and soul will always be with the opposition. The voice of opposition is the voice of the next generation. Keep up the good work guys, i’ll be coming back soon to be with you’ll.

Police, Politicians, PM……they all are either
corrupted, condone or cover-up corruption.
Can the PM sack all his ministers who are nearly all corrupted??

I am attracted to Inder’s comments. However, Inder must and should visit Singapore to see whether in Singapore there is such thing as “chinese/tamil’ schools. We are lucky that in Malaysia, despite the Malay rights, other communities are given the liberty to have their culture/education exsiting side by side with the Malay rights so much so that it is sacrosanct/entrenched in the Constitution. My advise to Inder, read up/do better research!

I was a Primary 5 kid when Malaya got its independence and belong to that proud, hopeful generation that watches with incresing horror as our nation slips into this decaying morass. We were truly a proud, happy, multi-racial society then. Race, language, religion or any other cultural issues were never an issue then. Many of my best friends were those of other races.
What is happening to us now? Aren’t there any good decent people around anymore? How is it that we have become so racialistic, debased and corrupt? How could those enthrusted with public confidence and authority be behaving so atrociously? Bribes and favours are so easily demanded for nowadays. The horrifying thing is that such officials are not ashamed, afraid or embarassed by their actions at all!! Some can be even abusive and downright threatening. Almost everyone can vouch for such personal experiences — from dealings with the police, town councils, governmental offices, and ministries such as JPJ, Customs, Education, etc. From the way remarks are being made, Malaysia Boleh sadly has become a synonym for ‘ anything can; the most immoral, unimaginable, corrupt and indecent thing that one can think of — can happen here. The Zakaria Zeros case, the sexually vulgar comments by MPs, the incredulous happenings at the Attantuya murder trial, etc. etc. …. and now the Judiciary !! What’s next ? History if full of lessons of the tragic endings of nations that goes on slipping downwards. Can we come to our senses before it is too late?
