Who is being selfish?

In the opinion of many Malaysians, PM Najib is the one who is selfish in using dishonourable ways to maintain his position. He and his men still maintain that the fact that opposition managed to win some states in the last general election meant the election was fair. With proof of unfair use of government machinery, development funds and buying votes with cash, many of us believe that Pakatan Rakyat would have won the last general election had it been fair and square.

The following is what we get to read in our mainstream newspapers:

The Prime Minister said it was irresponsible of certain quarters to create chaos just to gain power, adding that claims of irregularities in the election rules and electoral roll did not make sense when the opposition was currently ruling Kelantan, Penang, Kedah and Selangor.

“Barisan does not manipulate the election. If we do, why should we want to lose four states to the opposition.

“We do not want to win elections based on manipulation. We want to win because the rakyat supports and trusts us,” he said.

Najib challenged the opposition to fight Barisan in a general election instead of holding street demonstrations which would only cause problems.

“If you have guts, then fight us during the election and not this way (by holding demonstrations). Only those with no guts will hold demonstrations,' he said.

Then, we have the usual selfish traders who are more concerned about their business loss for just one day of demonstration:

Call it off, say traders

I am disappointed that our PM is unable to issue a permit and direct the police to maintain law and order during the short march to the Palace. By not issuing a police permit, he is denying the thousands who wish to demonstrate their displeasure over weaknesses in our electoral system which our Election Commission had refused to rectify. Minister in the PM department, Nazri had admitted that since the Election Commissioners are not from heaven, and they are appointed by BN, they are expected to be bias towards them! Just this alone should be good enough reason for the march.
