Dark times lie ahead of us

Malaysiakini:

We thought they were different, rues Ambiga

Former Bar Council chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan said she can understand how Malaysians feel with regard to the Pakatan Harapan administration.
In a series of tweets this afternoon, she said the nation needed more statespersons who think of the next generation, as opposed to politicians whose sights are set on the next election.
“Every time you expect the leaders to behave in a reasonable fashion, some let you down so badly. It is as if we do not really matter. Just staying in power does. We thought they were different.
“That is why the saying: 'A politician only thinks of the next elections, a statesman, the next generation'. We need more statesmen.
“What this government does will determine the future of Malaysians. But those that promote narrow interests will not benefit the building of a vibrant nation," she added.
To illustrate her point, Ambiga quoted the words of Abraham Lincoln - "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power."

In what appeared to be a reference to controversial Muslim preacher Zakir Naik (photo), she said if the government kept conceding to narrow interests and accorded one man so much importance that he appears stronger than them, then they have failed themselves and Malaysians.
“I ask again - if ministers keep appearing powerless to act when the going gets tough, then who can we count on? If this government does not set the right path, then who can?” she asked.
However, Ambiga said Malaysians should not allow one man or a single issue to dampen the Merdeka and Malaysia Day spirit.
“Again, having said all that, we must come together to celebrate our Merdeka and Malaysia Day.
“We must not allow differences over one man or one issue to take the joy out of our celebration. We have challenges ahead that will require all our focus and energy,” she added.
Earlier, Ambiga, who also headed the electoral watchdog Bersih from 2011 to 2013, said certain issues are deliberately played up to undermine the government.
“(The) government, on the other hand, must show the maturity and courage to set us on the right path, no matter how difficult. Who said change was easy?” she added.
Furthermore, she said, those who distract do not have the interests of the people at heart.
“We are facing a huge global economic problem and we are arguing about race and religion. We must look so incompetent to investors. All this will adversely affect the people,” she added.

Ambiga was responding to DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang's political secretary Syahredzan Johan (above) who turned to the wisdom of Professor Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series to highlight the situation in Malaysia.
“Dark times lie ahead of us and there will be a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right. - Dumbledore
“Let us all have that courage to do what is right, instead of what is easy,” he tweeted.
Over the weekend, Ambiga also expressed disappointment with Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman who hosted a dinner for Zakir at his residence and urged Malaysians to move on.

tough luck my Chinese and Indian brethren - I have to follow Atuk's wish

The Indian-born preacher is under police investigation for his remarks concerning Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians during a ceramah in Kelantan on Aug 8.
Zakir, who has since apologised, claimed that his remarks were taken out of context.

  1. We have fuckup politicians carrying the water of an Indian reject preacher running away from the Indian authorities.These stooges are sucking his tiny prick like he was their grandfather's.This Saddiq dude is just a boy still wet behind the ears.Apple polishing at best.

  5. Well said Ambiga. We need an educator, economist,and a statesman for all Malaysians. This fake fakir with his ridicule of Hinduism, n the division he has caused among Malaysians n incredibly supported by the very man whom true believers among Malaysians had again put in power believing him, when he pleaded he'll right the wrongs he created has left us deceived yet again. He promised to hand over to Anwar but now he has created a charade again. He has no human decency. Malaysia needs a leader for all Malaysians. Send the fugitive, fake, fakir ZN n his bunch of Indian Dalits home.

  6. Yes, Ambiga, I fully agree & support your views. We all voted out BN & voted in PH in order to have a better Malaysia to live in.
    However, it looks like many Malaysians are really disappointed with the PH govt under the leadership of Dr M. All I hope for is that he has not gone back to his old ways, but like the saying goes "a leopard never changes his spots". What you said is so true, that politicians only think of next election, without caring for next generation.

  9. Hi Ambiga, I do agree with your observations on the current state of affairs of this country where we were born and call home with utmost loyalty and dedication for the wellbeing of all its citizens disregard to race or religion. Nevertheless, unfortunately, we seem to have amongst us divisive politicians and NGOs which could lead the country backwards. Please wake up all citizens to create a highly progressive and developed country to be handed over to our next generation. Bersatu Teguh, Bercerai Roboh. Sedarlah wahai rakyat Malaysia ku demi kesejahteraan generasi masa akan datang sebelum nasi menjadi bubur. Sesal dahulu pendapatan, sesal kemudian tiada guna. Keluarkanlah anasir luar yang meracuni kedamaian keluarga Malaysia yang dihargai ibarat duri didalam daging, perbuatan ahli politik yang cuma mementingkan diri sendiri. Sila bangkit demi perpaduan rakyat Malaysia. Sekian, terima kasih.

  16. Our understanding is that BAU Mahathir had submitting to radicalised Muslims demand. He expounded that if MALUSIA wanted peace, unlike those Middle Eastern States of Syria or Iraq, we have to accommodated the views of those fundamentalists in order to avoid a religious war in Malaysia. This is cowardice in the face of the enemy.

    The international norm when it comes to TERRORISM is never to strike a deal of whatever form with these habitual terrorists. But here we have a government so spineless and gutless to take the appropriate steps to nip it in the bud.

    For the last 10 years, this group has been emboldened with the inactions of the authorities and now even bolder and more daring to demand from the government what it so wishes.

    The fight again terrorism is always one long road but with no concessions to it, otherwise it would rule over the masses in the end.

  17. What is there to celebrate when this country is no better than the years before?? We celebrate MERDEKA when we are happy and want to call it our Home, but NO, we don't see any beneficial changes.

    No, we are not saying UMNO/BN is any better but there in a vacuum of GOOD Malay leaders in the country. One is just as racist, divisive and prejudice as the other. Our MERDEKA call is for Mahathir to step down for someone else.

  18. PH, Mahathir especially have let down the rakyat with all the promises made prior to GE14. People were hoping for a new Malaysia as this is what was pr ok missed prior to GE14. Lynas, Racism, Favouritism, Selective persecution, The Toll, PTPN were all supposed go but they haven't. The peoples Hope's have been dashed and the people are feeling hopeless under DrM and PH. God bless the nation and her people. A bleak Merdeka day and years ahead indeed.

    1. He has made more wrongs for he was brought to make wrongs done by past Government Right.1) Zakir 2) Suppose remove Toll now more Tolls coming up. 3) Giving Green light to Deport Turkish Family out from Malaysia protected by UN to face the Turkish Military Court which is more difficult Military or Normal People's Court like going and facing India's Court. Zakir very rich man can have many Lawyers & Judges to ensure he gets a fair trail in India. Why keep him & send out Turkish Family knowing protected by UN....3) Crocks free to raom stole money from the Malays & People's money.Eg...EPF, Tabung Haji & PAS Delegates involved in Money laundering with 1MDB. How many more wrongs he has to do until the People will decide have him replaced....Enough is Enough.

  26. I for one dont feel like celebrating Merdeka bcos I am saddened by the events happening recently. Race & religion have become the main topic for our politicians to divide the various races & a fugitive comes into our country to question our integrity & no one can do anything about it. He has become a VVIP & our politicians are sucking up to him. Its a sad day for Malaysia. What we have now are a web if lies, deceit, manipulation, unfulfilled election manifesto but our esteemed politicians are more interested in playing the race/religion cards. I shudder to even think of another May 13th. May God help & protect Malaysia

  52. Zakir all knows many Countries don't want him why Malaysia want to harbour him. Fugitive run away from the Law still Tun gives him PR why not give the Red IC mostly Indians. What the Government doing when the Peoples Power the Issue is Simple they want both Sports & Shoe Minister to step down but nothing done by Tun himself. We brought him to make Wrong done by past Government Right in stead doing so he making more Wrongs. Why give PR to Fugitive where by many Countries don't want him b'cos he is a troublemaker who disturbs Unity, Harmony & Togetherness among People. Why Tun keeps him to be Good with Malays make PKR & DAP look bad so he can continue his dramas in Malaysia find ways to Protect the Crocks so in return his Family Protected Permanently in Malaysia. They become the untouchables living with the richness stolen from the People. That's Tun ultimate PLAN doing all his Dramas sing his Ministers as Dummies. Shoe Minister or Educational Minister you think for 1 minute has the Brains to bring Jawi into Bahasa Malaysia when all knows is not part of Bahasa Malaysia as it belongs to religious subject for never ever taught in any school as a subject in Bahasa Malaysia. Khat an act mainly used for religious writings his now pig esters, monitor lizard eaters, gamblers & drinkers allowed to write the so called Act.What happened to all the Ulama's in Malaysia why done came forward to say anything about these Act being forced onto Other races in Malaysia... Why is it B'cos Tun said it was fine...Ulama's blinded by TUN's involvement... Looks like it's Correct Malaysia Boleh....

A party/coalition which does not keep their promises and make a mockery of the citizens should be voted out!!

  56. Apparently, the votes from the same faith is above anything!Both MCA and MIC should leave BN asap and join forces with GERAKAN Pru 15 as a third coalition or third force as a vote of choice for our voters. If the both the presidents are reluctant to, members can start a signatory campaign to gather enough quorum, a 2/3 to call for AGM with 2 agenda, firstly, dismiss the president and secondly, leave BN asap!! In a multiracial and multireligion country, the more coalitions the merrier and the is no dominant party that can form the government of the day with other coalitions. Thus, all have to be more liberal if they one to get the support of others!!
