The protesting students from University of Malaysia stood their ground firmly and defied the bullying policemen and the enforcement officers from DBKL who tried to prevent and disperse them to communicate their message to the public last week at the Dataran that the Malaysian Government should provide free tertiary education to all those who are qualified for entry into all the public universities in the country.
From the video presentation, I could gather that the enforcement officers were ignorant of the Mlaysian Constitution, laws of the land and the inherent rights of the citizen to peacefully assemble in and at all public places.
For the enforcement officers trying to tear down the tents and banner put up by the students and threatening to apply their brute force against them was most uncalled for.
What the students are fighting for is noble because if approved is going to benefit their children, grand children and ensuing generations. The enforcement officers should listen the students out regarding their rationale to protest. And not just following the unreasonable command of their superior.
The students have good reason to protest and exert their demands seeing more than RM1.0 trillion had been illegally taken out of the country during the past decade. On the average, this worked out to be about RM100.0 billion per year that had been transferred into the private accounts of the UMNO leaders.
All and sundry must recognise that we must treat one another with mutual respect and dignity and that no one is above the law. If the police has any sense, they should go after all those traitorous and corrupt UMNO leaders! Leave the innocent students alone.
Why is the UMNO/BN Government so afraid of mass public protests by Malaysians? If their leaders are educated, cultured and civilised enough, they should be happy that the people are just attempting to convey through their actions their grievances and unhappiness over their policies and social economic programmes. They must be matured enough to listen and evaluate some of these highlighted grievances. And, if they find them logical and acceptable, they must be prepared as public servants duly elected by the rakyat to amend or rescind such unpopular policies or programmes.
The order of the day is the Government of the day must be "Transparent, Honest, Accountable and Competent". They must stop their evil and selfish and corrupt practices in trying to enrich their private pockets. The country resources must be utilised for the common good of the rakyat and not squandered on wasteful projects.
Berseh 3.0 is on the way. Let the people ventilate their frustrations over the sycophantic incompetencies of the EC officers. If they continue to cheat the citizens by generating phantom voters, they musts be hauled up and charged in the court of law.
The Home Minister must be taken to task if he allows and continues to allow illegal immigrants to be converted into citizens of the country so that they can vote at the coming GE 13. This will be tantamount to treason and HRM YDP Agong must centure his action and indict him for this heinous crime.
In the meantime, I hope that the enforcement officers should restrain themselves against provoking public protesters for common good of the country.
