[BITList] Bersih 4 rally in KL

[John Feltham]

G'day folks,
 
There is a “peoples revolution” taking place in Malaysia.

It appears that the PM and others, have been caught with their hands in the till and their trousers down!





The people have taken to wearing yellow tee shirts. 

The Government has said that they can’t wear them.

Have a look and see how that went down!

In the aftermath of the general elections in Malaysia in 2013 there were accusations by the opposition and non-governmental organisations that the government had cheated its way to another election victory. A series of rallies in 2013 were carried out protesting the results of the elections, whereby the opposition garnered a plurality of the votes but still lost the election due to the government gaining the most seats in the Westminster system of elections.

In 2015, a corruption scandal began to engulf Malaysia, involving a government super fund called 1Malaysia Development Berhad which was chaired by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. There were a series of exposes by online investigative blogs, namely Sarawak Report and major news portal Wall Street Journal that money was being siphoned off from the fund into personal accounts of Najib and his close relations. A Public Accounts Committee compromising government and opposition members of parliament was set up to investigate if there were major wrongdoings on the part of Najib and 1MDB. However, in July, the government began to stifle news reports regarding the 1MDB scandal by blocking the website Sarawak Report, which had in been in forefront of exposes revealing the losses incurred by 1MDB and its connection to Najib, from the Malaysian internet community.[8] The government then began to withdraw the publishing license of The Edge, a financial and news publication which was reporting the 1MDB scandal.[9] Furthermore, on the 28th of July, Najib began removing detractors in his cabinet and government such as Abdul Gani Patail, the Attorney General of Malaysia who was part of the task force investigating the 1MDB scandal,[10] his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin and four other ministers who were said to be critical of 1MDB and called for Najib to explain the issue to the Malaysian public.[11] The Public Accounts Committee investigating the 1MDB scandal was also suspended indefinitely with the promotion of four of its members to Deputy Ministers by Najib.[12]

Currently there is a court case challenging the re-delineation of electoral boundaries in Sarawak, which if carried out would affect the next state elections in Sarawak.[13] The re-delineation of the seats in Sarawak would see an increase of 71 to 82 seats in the state assembly, but the current contention is there was no proper explanation given for the planned increase. Bersih has stated that the case, which has been successfully appealed by the Election Commission, would allow it to carry out acts of gerrymandering and malapportionment.[14][15]

There’s the old saying, that you can fool some of the people sone of the time but you can’t fool the people all of the time.

This mob of Leaders have been caught out.

They should all go, before they land up behind bars.





ooroo

Bad typists of the word, untie.
