YOURSAY ‘Can we reach the next GE without anything untoward happening?’

Lee decries 'provocation' at pro-PM demo

Anonymous #039163649: Good God, look at the poster ( above ). Kepala Batas MP Reezal Merican Naina Merican is indeed a very dangerous man.

This looks set to carry on till the next general election. Can we reach the next GE without anything untoward happening, given that Reezal is upping the tempo in goading the Malays into a mob?

It looks like Reezal has no intention of serving his constituents in Kepala Batas. His avowed aim is to be Penang CM Lim Guan Eng's nemesis and being ‘batu api’ (instigator) in the Malay-Chinese conflict. The PM should stop him.

Aziz Bin Kader: The leaders from other side are fighting against price hikes as this impacts all Malaysians. Why is Umno so stupid to talk about race?

That is main reason I left Umno and joined PKR. Umno never works for the people but only for its cronies, and uses race to divert the people’s attention.

Negarawan : Why are these Umno idiots so violent about defending their corrupt and immoral PM Najib Abdul Razak, whose family is making money through an unIslamic way of selling a sexually explicit movie ?

Ericlcc: I’m not surprised that instead of these Umno thugs been investigated, Machang Bubuk state representative Lee Khai Loon will be called to give a statement to the police. Everybody else in the demonstration is free to go.

NX: Lee as an elected politician needs to learn that you do not pull a stunt in public to embarrass the PM.

Whether you support him or hate him, it calls for proper respect for our leader. This is simple Sunday school teaching and we are taught to honour and respect those in authority. Lee, you need to grow up and apologise for your disrespect to Najib.

Anonymous #33877536: Clearly, a set of immature people on both sides of the divide. If this goes on, somebody is going to start the fire and it is going to burn painfully.

Malays, Chinese and the other races, please control your emotions. Who is going to be mostly affected by the goods and services tax (GST)? It’s the people who don't pay taxes and they are the majority here.

So, let it come and enjoy the fun. Stop beating the drum and stop creating havoc.

Ketuanan Rakyat: It is for all Malaysians to see who is stirring up racial sentiments. Pakatan Rakyat generally always has been focusing on corruption issues involving Umnoputras and their cronies in BN.

The Allah issue is being exploited by Umnoputras to divert attention from the increase in cost of living in spite of the reduction in the price of kangkung, as claimed by Najib. Now Umnoputras are turning kangkung into a political issue.

True: Umno still baying for Chinese blood? Who is being unreasonable?

A real life issue is cunningly turned into a racial issue to threaten people. Why can't you argue your case sensibly? Why so proud, high-handed and unbecoming?

Where are our inspector-general of police and attorney-general? If this is not seditious, what is? Why have different standards for different people?

Gotcha: The organisers of the rally must be charged for displaying such a banner. Malaysians are educated, not fools like them (the organisers). The police must act fast to nab the culprits. I support the protest, but not the banner, please.

SS Dhaliwal: This is beyond sedition. These people should be charged with assault and inciting a riot. But, as usual, the police have no guts to act against them as they are Umno's running dogs.

Homesick: All these brainless idiots who threaten a repeat of May 13 do not realise that this time round, it's not the Malays against the Chinese.

If it does happen (God forbid), it's Umno Malays against Malaysian Malays, Chinese and the rest of the people.

So, all you morons, put your brain into gear first before you open your mouth. Oh, I forgot, you lot haven't got a brain.

Apa Nama: Indeed, these brainless folk cannot argue with facts. They only know how to divert and counter an issue with race and religion.

Whatever the opposition leaders say and do, these cartoon-brained people will always twist these into race and religion.

Drngsc: Is this Umno protest in keeping with the Peaceful Assembly Act, I wonder? Let’s see the excuse of the police...

From what I read, it certainly is not peaceful, and the posters are certainly racist and disturbing the peace. What say you, 47 percent PM Najib?

Hang Babeuf: In Germany in the 1920s and 1930s you had the Freikorps, the Stahlhelm and the SA. Street bullies, violent "lumpen-nationalist" enforcers, wannabe heroes of "blood and soil".

Same here these days, alas. It's an ugly direction to head in. And, once you do, it is very hard to turn back.

One thing is for sure: when unhappy people in unhappy countries take this step, it soon becomes a much unhappier country, for just about everybody.

It is a fateful step. Not one that any sane person wants to take.
