Fair and square

                   Be fair and square, Najib             24/2/2013

          Najib so said, “Opposition  must accept election result---Najib”.  It is indeed a very good advice to the PR pact.  I see it a very heartening reminder to Najib and the BN pact as well to take heed of this utterance.  We people at least 70% like me are clapping with our hands and feet as well.   Ya,                             

Remember the law is a basic principle in the country, the process of democracy demands that we respect the laws of the country.  Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. 

          We people in general are heartened that you (Najib) can still memorise the key concept of democracy though the BN government has practised autocracy in reality in almost every respect of the governance.  But if you and your team can upkeep this principle just in case, well, if it is likely that you will lose in the 13^th general election, this is a timely expression, I should say.. 

Kuala Lumpur:  The Prime Minister said yesterday he hoped the opposition will accept the result of the upcoming 13^th general election and do not find excuse to cause chaos if they lose.  Saturday, 9Feb2013.  Home.  The Borneo Post.  Pg25  

          So I say goodlah this should be served as a reminder to Najib and his team being the winner all through the 12 elections.  If the 13^th general election turns out to be just the opposite, I believe they are well-prepared to face it.  They will not re-enact 513—1969  and exploit the situation to their advantage to get back the power.   They created chaos once.  We hope they will not do it again this time.  If as many predict, the BN pact will lose in the election.  I also cannot find a valid reason for them to win this time.

      Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the opposition shoud respect the decision of the people because it was a topmost principle in the parliamentary democracy system practised in this country.

     “We must accept whatever in the decision of the people.  If they believe in democracy, they cannot reject something which has been decided by the people.”

     “If we uphold the principles of parliamentary democracy, this is the fact,”  he told a media conference after chairing an Umno Supreme Council meeting here.        

          Hurray!  So, they are clear enough, for sure,  what they should and should not do if they lose this time.   How wonderful to get the assurance from Najib about whom we are not sure how he and his team will face the situation.  For the opposition pact, we are not worried at all because they have been loser for the past 12 elections.  We have enough ideas and are clear enough how they handle disappointments and failures.  
 
Najib said this when commenting on a statement by former PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad who urged the people to view seriously the threat by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to turn Kuala Lumpur akin to Tahrir Square in Cairo, if his aspiration to become prime minister did not materialise in the coming general election. 

          Najib said if the opposition did not respect the law, it would create a situation of rejecting the rule of law and its effect would be bad for the nation.

          This, I think Mahathir is plagued and plighted by his own phobia being a very aggressive person and a neurotic himself.  We can understand his anxiety and self-imposed impulsion being a very cruel and atrocious person himself.  He can try all means to win.  He tried to grant The 10 million or more illegal immigrants citizenship with the intention  to win in the election in Sabah during his reign as a PM.    He himself was such a mean person.  It is no doubt that he also thinks Anwar Ibrahim meanly.  Well, well, …………. I can assure you no such things like the ones in Tahrir, Cairo will happen here.  Look, what have they done after 308?  Even when Perak was taken back by the BN government in such a mean way, they still kept themselves in good control.   No worry!

          “Respecting the law is a basic principle in the country, the process of democracy demands that we respect the laws of the country,”  he said.

          He said he was confident the Election Commission (EC) was capable of ensuring the general election to be held would be fair and clean.

          How marvellous to hear this and we really hope that Najib and his team really “walk his talk” not just pow-bow and howl only.   Who can argue further and more if the Election Commission is really fair and clean as they claim and declare?  Well……… we people, young and old, male and female are watching seriously.  So if the authority concerned behaves themselves to uphold the principle of fairness and cleanliness in the election, what more will the people want?  Be sensible and wise.

          Meanwhile Najib denied that Deputy Prime Minister Tan Seri Muhyiddin Yassan described the call by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng that the public wear red, green and yellow outfits during the Chinese New Year celebration organised by the Penang Barisan Nasional  as stupid.

          He said the function was merely being held to celebrate the Chinese New Year which is very meaningful to the Chinese community in the country.

          “Why tarnish a function organised with good intentions with political elements which have got nothing to do with it?”

          After Bersih 2.0, I think everybody has become very sensitive to colours.  I must say I am no exception.  What a big deal.  Well, well…… if no one was so stupid to catch those wearing Bersih 2.0 and over-reacted to the colour yellow with the word ‘Bersih 2.0’, I guess nobody will find emphasizing the colours ‘red, green and yellow’ worth the effort.  After the incident, I have become sensitive to colours, too.  I often look around to see what colours people often wear intentionally / unintentionally.  It seems more and more people wear yellow and green than ever before.  Actually, I like blue, green, purple and brown colours.  Blue seems to be the colour for the BN pact.  Nowadays, I tend to make conscious effort not to choose things blue in colour.  If it happens that I chose the thing blue in colour, that means I was careless again.  I tried to avoid the colour as much as I can.

          Is it true that the function organised without political elements and intentions at all?  Touch the Quran and swear to say “No.” if you dare.

          “If he (Lim) wants to carry out a function, by all means, we don’t obstruct, why take down the 1Malaysia poster and my picture, this is a Chinese New Year celebration, ” he said.       

         

          Are we all equal before law?  So, did you follow the law to hang 1Malaysia poster?  Did you apply for permission to do so?  Were you respecting the law  a basic principle to hang the posters at will?

All the best!
