"New" Malaysia's Freedom of Speech

Wow, several naughty blokes and one bloke-lassie have been sacked from their jobs for posting naughty comments on their Facebook.

She wrote of fireman Adib's death:

“It wasn’t the government who had failed (him); it was your God who failed to save Adib.”

Tally thus far - 1 sweetie from Honda, 1 bloke from Cisco and now another one from Pemandu Associates.

Addendum @ 1640 hrs 09/01/19

1 doctor from Mediviron Group
1 bloke from tenaga Nasional BHD

are now being investigated by police.

Other than the Honda sweetie, the others made comments on the former Agong and his marriage.

While I love the Agong for his humour and lack of pomposity I feel that his critics should NOT be punished so harshly (as to lose their jobs during such a bad economic period).

In UK, Australia, NZ and even in the USA, the Queen (plus Royal Family) and President absorb such criticisms, no matter how vile, as a respect for the respective nation's upholding of the Freedom of Speech.

Only threats of violence or deaths are criminal in nature.

In Europe of course the 'scared cow' is the Jewish community, where any form of criticism against them, no matter how slight, would be described as 'anti-Semitism'. It's a gross misuse of the term because Arabs and various other ethnicities in the Middle-East are also Semitic, thus making the anti-Arab Israelis the even bigger anti-Semites.

Anti-Semitism in Europe is a crime and may be subjected to harsh punishment, as was experienced by David Irving.

The Telegraph reported on 21 feb 2006:

David Irving, the controversial historian, was jailed for three years in Austria yesterday after pleading guilty to charges of denying the Holocaust 17 years ago.

"I'm shocked and I will be appealing," he said as he was led from a Vienna court by armed police.

Irving had pleaded guilty in the hope that he would be let off lightly with a warning but he was so wrong, wakakaka.

I hope Malaysia won't follow the Europeans where their collective guilt over the Holocaust during WWII which undeniably murdered 5 to 6 million Jews but even far more non-Jews have influenced their attitude today towards anything against Jews, but sadly not towards the OTHER victims of the Holocaust, eg. Gypsies, Russians, Poles, Serbs, Slovenes, and various other groups like Jehovah Witnesses, homosexuals, Spanish Republicans, etc.

As we can see from the table below (extracted from Wikipedia), more USSR (now Russia) citizens were murdered in the Holocaust than Jews, about 7.3 to 7.8 million, yet only Jews have been allowed to monopolise the title of being victims of the Holocaust.

Jews 5–6 million Soviet citizens 4.5 million Soviet POWs 2.8–3.3 million Poles 1.8–3 million Serbs 300,000–600,000 Romani 130,000–500,000 Freemasons 80,000–200,000 and others

Remember the words of Siti Kasim that Religious and race-based parties one step away from Nazism.

She was reported in MM Online saying:

She noted that the concept of a herrenvolk or “master race” had been adopted by Adolf Hitler's Nationalist Socialist Workers’ Party in Nazi Germany to exploit and eventually eliminate those they deemed to be of an “inferior” race.

“Naturally the Nazis thought they were the Herrenvolk — Master Race — and they considered themselves to be pure Aryans, every other race was inferior, with some like Slavs, Romany and Jews at the bottom of the ladder, and while the Aryans had to be kept pure, the bottom could be exploited, hated and eventually liquidated.

“The Volksgemeinschaft was thus inherently racist and contributed greatly to the Nazis’ attempts at mass extermination,” she said, referring to the systematic mass murder of some six million Jews in Europe during World War Two.

Siti also said religious-based parties are an “anachronism of time” and should have no role in politics today.

“I will take one step further with respect to religious-based parties; they are an anachronism of a time when societies were run by shamans, witch doctors and spiritual advisers to despots and kings, rather than civilised logical societies,” she said.
Forestalling criticism against her as being anti-religion, Siti said she is calling for an objective and “inclusive” civil discussion on the role of religion in politics as she acknowledged it is “impossible” to separate the two in majority-Muslim Malaysia.

“I am not anti-religion, but religion shouldn’t have a place in political decisions. This isn’t a slam on religion; it’s a call for inclusive political debate. In a society where most people (politicians in particular) have some sort of faith that guides their decisions, it’s impossible to have a true separation of faith and state.

“What I am suggesting is we create and support a system where political decisions are made based on arguments that stand on their own merits without a religious crutch or, to put it another way, 'my holy book tells me so' is off limits as an argument,” she said.

Next step after Nazism will be a Holocaust.

Yes, but where is our so-called "New" Malaysia's Feedom of Speech?
