VOXPOP 'They claimed to have removed the offensive provisions, but sneak them in by wording them in another way.'

New security offences law 'more dangerous'

vox populi small thumbnail Centurion: Welcome to the government of the ‘false democrat'. This country is more or less like a police state.

As far as the government, which is Umno, is concerned, the people be damned. This draconian law is just old wine in a new bottle.

Full of Crap: Since when have the BN government ever been sincere about anything? They think all Malaysians are stupid and uneducated.

On one hand, they claimed to have removed the offensive provisions; on the other, they sneak them in by wording them in another way.

Let's hope that finally, after over 55 years, Malaysians are wise and enlightened enough to kick them out.

Odin: Obviously, here is yet more proof to show that PM Najib Razak's transformation programmes are nothing more than Gorgon turning into Medusa or Hydra, if not the worse version of either monster.

Anonymous #74150739: Let us use their weapons on all of them after GE13. Then, repeal it. Like ISA detainees, they will continue to be detained despite the repeal, right?

We shall see how many BN MPs and Aduns will be squirming post-GE 13.

Blind Freddo: Do we hear PKR telling us they will annul this legislation (and much more) as soon as they get into power?

They seem to be perfectly willing to jump the gun with offers of free education and assistance for Palestine without a moment's thought.

Wira: Any detention without a definitive reason required by law and sanctioned by a judicial officer not below that of a High Court judge, should be disallowed. Torture and forced confession should be outlawed.

Najib interfered in LRT tender award, says Rafizi

Loyal Malaysian: It will be interesting what spin Najib's propaganda machine will put to this instance of direct interference with the tender process.

Plainly: Earlier, George Kent was awarded a hospital project to construct even though they had no construction experience or track record whatsoever.

And now this - obviously Najib has a good 'tie-up' friend or golf buddy working in George Kent.

Yahoo: It is time that Pakatan Rakyat gives fair warning that all these abuses be stopped, and today is the cut-off day.

When Pakatan comes into power, corruption that occurs after today will likely be investigated first.

It is hoped that this is a deterrent and will also encourage whistleblowers to expose future wrongdoings knowing it unlikely to be in vain.

Blind Freddo: This is what happens when you have a leader who is labouring under the delusion that he is actually god... instead of the leader of a party which in turn represents the people.

Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad started this cult in response to the adulation of the ignorant and so it's the only thing that Najib and his ego know.

Beware, there is another despot waiting in the wings to take control of your country... well, actually there are two.

Bartimaeus 2020: Soon Umno's dirty tricks department will be disseminating a crude sex video featuring PKR strategy director Rafizi Ramli.

Anonymous #41809171: Are we really shocked? Is there anyone out there who can deny that this has been happening for years under the BN government?

What we should be asking ourselves is why we should re-elect this government which has shown no remorse and will continue cheating us of our hard-earned money if we let them.

Louis: This shows how much Najib cares for the rakyat. Take the higher tender, never mind if it is at the expense of the taxpayers.

The Scorpene deal - no worry if commissions of millions are given out. After all, it is the rakyat's money.

Yes, Najib is the 'best' premier we ever have. No wonder Umno worships him like a lord.

Anonymous #88568176: We have been cursed with a corrupt and insidious PM - a shameful human being.

Uses superlative slogans on how open, clean and transforming he is, yet he does the very opposite.

And to win elections, he throws money all over the place even at the risk of bankrupting the country.
