BN says no to IPCMC, to maintain its grip

-
In light with the death of a security guard while under police custody and the mounted public pressure to have the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) established as soon as possible to address many power abuse within the police force, the BN government is still ignoring the call to look into the many problems and mismanagement in the force.

The home minister and Umno vice president Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein said no comment when the press tried to seek their view on the possibility to form the IPCMC. And now, even the deputy prime minister and Umno deputy president Tan Sri Muhyddin Yassin is avoiding the same question as well, while their big boss prime minister and Umno president Datuk Najib Razak has long avoided the situation by going into hiding with his sudden trip to Gaza City, Palestine.

It seems that nobody in the BN government is interested to address this decades old problem within the police force. Even after the previous Royal Commission of Inquiry To Check on the Police Force had made several recommendations to the BN government to further enhance and improve the credibility of the force, the BN leaders has decided to ignore the fact that the police force is in dire need for a total revamp.

Corruptions, mismanagement, power abuse and connections with the underworld as well as many deaths in the police custody has been the subject of the people's call to get the force reformed. The people's respect to the police force has also declined rapidly to a level that no one would "even care to adhere to the law" when they see even the police are not following the law and order.

Why is the BN is still insisting on a big No to the formation of the IPCMC? There is a very big political reason for that. BN still needs the service of the force's large number of Special Branch (SB) personnel nationwide to keep tabs on the current rising influence of the Opposition parties. This why BN need to keep the force pleased in order to continue utilizing the SB's intelligence network for their own political advantages and to ensure that BN would maintain its power come next general elections (GE13).

GE13 is somewhere around in the first quarter and the BN government could not avoid them any further as their mandate would be expiring by end of this quarter. This is why BN still needs the service of the SB in order to check and control Oppositions from running over their borders of power.

BN says their ruling coalition is all for the people. But when the people as decided enough is enough over the police force's misadventures, and BN stubbornly still says no to IPCMC. Is this what BN and Najib call, "Rakyat Didahulukan" all these years? Ignoring the people's plight and grievances is what is BN's subject now as they are now afraid of losing power. Because of their continuous fear of losing their power, BN leaders are now resorting to some sort of dictatorship in order to ensure they remain in Putrajaya.

In this case, under BN, are there any brighter chance of putting the entire police force back into its good shape? Certainly there is none at all because none of the BN leaders have that political will to do so. The personal and political interests of these BN leaders are still on top of the people's welfare and well being.

As such, as long as BN is still around in Putrajaya, the crime rate will keep on increasing, corruption and power abuse within the police force will continue to flourish, deaths in the police custody will continue to increase, BN will continue to use the force, turn it into a "Gestapo" type for their political advantages and finally, the people would continue to suffer under the BN's draconian rule.

Thus, the people now have no other choice other than to seek for an alternative political force to reshape the entire nation's governance, administration and most importantly the security and public order.

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo. Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself. Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year. It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just...

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Singapore Malay daily teaches Mahathir about hardwork

The former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's assumption that Malays in Singapore had failed and their neighbouring Malays should take lesson from their plight has not impressed a Singaporean daily. The republic's Malay daily Berita Harian in an editorial said Malay-Muslims in the republic state were successful and it was a result of their real efforts and hard work in line with the values of meritocracy, not a result of being spoon-fed. “We do not believe in being spoon-fed or being too dependent on the government - in other words, we do not have a crutch mentality,' wrote editor Guntor Sadali. Guntor said Singapore Malays believed that a community with such a mentality would soon become a “two M” community, which stands for ‘manja’ (spoilt), and ‘malas’ (lazy). “We definitely do not want to be labelled as a pampered and lazy community,” he said, adding that the Malay community in the island raised their own funds to build Islamic schools, mosques and other community pro...
