Can BN govt be specific on its man-made seditious tendency?

Ever since the 2013 general elections, the Barisan Nasional (BN) regime has not won handsomely but with a very low margin with more support moving towards the opposition parties. The reasons are very clear, corruption, power abuse, mismanagement, racism and religious extremism.

The BN regime has continue to refuse acknowledgment of its shortcomings despite its electoral setbacks, but instead continue to introduced many tough laws in order to curb the rising influence of the opposition parties, human rights NGOs, civil societies and the people's criticisms against the regime.

Opposition leaders, civil societies leaders, human rights activists, intellectuals, educationists, critics, social media users and ordinary people were charged, fined or imprisoned for allegedly being seditious and insulting in opposing the BN regime.

Now, when it comes to charging the person for his seditious statements, words, articles, action and manner, what kind of reference does this regime refer to in order to label such and such person of being seditious, insulting, rude, or whatever they thinks fit into their mind that the person they dislike are being seditious and insulting towards them?

The regime had enhance several laws and introduced some new ones, Sedition Act, several sections in the Penal Codes, the Communications and Multimedia Act, SOSMA, Prevention of Terrorism Act and many more, and the words craved in these laws are too general and they do not really specify or list down the types or kinds of actions which are considered seditious, insult, defame or disgrace to the BN and its regime's leaders or officials.

To define what words, statements, writings or speeches which are considered "harmful" to the BN, the definitions were simply left to the various authorities to decide in accordance to their liking, mood or even their emotion.

So, in this case, criticism can become seditious, criticisms or comments could also be considered as an insult to a leader or even to a "general" of a security force, some writings which are scientifically researched and expounded are also now considered harmful, as an insult to the royal institution and so on.  Even if by asking questions now is also considered as seditious and insulting a government leader, a senior official or some kind of divine institution of theirs.

Well, if you report a corruption or mismanagement of funds in a government entity today, you could also be charged in the court! This is monstrously senseless.

Just how and what kind of definition does these creatures in the BN regime justify to crackdown on humanity, our rights and generally freedom of speech? They are simply misusing the laws to crackdown on public dissent but "letting off" real crimes.

And the BN regime is also very selective in their persecution! Whatever insults, seditious statements words and actions, threats and terrors demonstrated by those from the pro-BN camp were left untouched, whereby those from the opposition, civil societies, human rights NGOs and individuals who are critical to the regime are immediately hauled up, charged, fined or imprisoned for just a simple criticism or a "hard" word to remind this regime to stop their wrongdoings.

Remember! Justice may be blind but it can still be seen in the dark. The people's power shall prevail when the day comes.
