It is a fact that Umno-led BN lost to PR in terms of popular votes, despite all kinds of unfair advantages of incumbency and alleged irregularities.
To win back the support of the people, the options available include cleaning up the electoral roll and ensuring fairness in the next delineation exercise; setting up IPCMC; legislate to have MACC accountable to Parliament; improve on the selection of judges; ensuring fair coverage by mainstream media; and so on. But would they dare to do so? I am afraid not, simply because BN relied too much on an unfair sytem of administration and election process.
From recent statements by newly minted ministers, it is clear BN has decided on taking a hardline approach reminiscent of Dr Mahathir and his infamous Operation Lallang.
If ministers were to be given a free hand, the options available seem to be:
1. Strip opposition leaders of their citizenship 'for being traitors to the nation' (up to them to define);
2. Emigrate if you do not like the present election system (Defence Minister, Zahid Hamidi);
3. Live in the jungle if you do not like the system (Noh Omar);
4. Arrest all those who take part in peaceful rallies; and so on.
So far, police has arrested student activist, Adam Adli who will be charged under Sedition Act; interrogated 87-year old grand old man of DAP, Dr Chen Man Hin for mere mention of 'Malaysian Spring' that he would love to take part (re Bersih 3)!; arrested Haris Ibrahim and Tian Chua for organising peaceful rallies; and many more are expected to be arrested or interrogated in connection with the rallies held throughout the country.
I am sure many members of the public would prefer the police to concentrate on tackling the alarming state of public security. Each of us was either a victim of a serious crime, or at least had a relative or friend who was. Recently, ADUN Elizabeth Wong mentioned her brother was attacked by parang-wielding robbers; even a relative of DPM and a relative of IGP were robbed in their homes.
Precious police personnel were tasked to arrest unarmed citizens, eg. 10 policemen to arrest Adam Adli! Even Zahid had publicly announced that he would personally scrutinise every Malaysiakini report to ensure they did not twist facts! If only he took the trouble to look after the infamous Utusan Malaysia owned by his party, Umno! The fact that they lost almost every slander case and ordered to pay compensations is proof of their evil agenda.
