BN people to hang themselves

“The coup d’etat would surely place the plotters and perpetrators an ignominious place in history. All the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) had to do was to give enough rope for the BN people to hang themselves.
“If it was a putsch, then like such similar events in history...they will fail. This one in Perak will fail to endear Umno and BN with the people,” Mohd Ariff wrote.
The general opinion on the street, said Mohd Ariff, was that the people were "outrightly disgusted with what is happening in Perak and for a party that hollers loudly its intentions to regain the support of the people, it has instead and ironically, done more to repel than regain support towards it.”
“Perak will become a political quicksand that will drag Datuk Seri Najib Razak in. Unless he gets out from the quicksand either by being pulled out or grabbing a pole, Perak will prove to be his political waterloo,” said Mohd Ariff.

From Umno, a voice of dissent over Perak fiasco

An Umno leader, who is a former state assemblyman in the prime minister’s Pekan constituency, has described the chaotic events in Perak yesterday as a shameful coup d’etat which could end in failure for the Barisan Nasional (BN).
Datuk Mohd Ariff Sabri Abdul Aziz, who was Pulau Manis state assemblyman in Pahang until 2008, said yesterday’s events may well tighten the noose around BN

感谢国阵 !

霹雳州议会的事件，完全是我国历史上空前的，正面的来看，这对我国的民主化一定也有所帮助。它让全体人民在经过了308大选海啸式的洗礼后，感受了二月的霹雳政变后，又再一次的目睹国阵践踏民主的实例。因此，我想，全民还是得感谢国阵的！

不尊重体制，如何顺应民意？

为了抵御州议会在宪法规定六个月不召开就自动解散的“困境”，国阵可以在不通知议长（当然也不会获准）的情况下，公然违法的强硬召开州议会，这样明目张胆的不尊重州议会体制，谁还敢期望它会尊重民意？

可悲的大马人

我们都生长在一个没有民主自由，没有言论自由的国家。发生了那么多的事情，人民好像什么都做不到了，因为这班无赖完全无视法律的存在，完全无视人民的存在，也完全无视自尊的存在。为了自己的利益，这般人都忘了自我，忘了民主。他们简直是马来西亚人的耻辱。308过后很明显的各族人民比以前更和谐，更加了解彼此，因为我们争取的都是同样的东西，那就是民主！可是无聊的国阵，往往一直在玩弄种族课题，王族课题以及宗教课题，还好聪明的大马人民都没有上当，不然就不会有那么多不为人知的秘密，一个一个浮上台面。另一方面，国阵一直很努力地找后路，民联却默默地耕耘，规规矩矩！谁在做事，谁在搞是非，一眼看完！

为了吃饱，我们该继续做奴才！？

有人可以罔顾民意，凌驾法律，冲进议会把民选议长抬走；有人可以把手无寸铁之力的和平集会人士，无缘无故关起来；再把履行任务的律师一拼关进牢房；总之，法律握在这群人手里，爱怎么诠释宪法就怎么诠释；爱怎么做就怎么做，因为，他们永远知道，这场恶斗下去，掌握权势的一定会赢，因为这不是无所畏惧的民主斗士输了，而是人民，被斗士们努力捍卫权利的那一群人，先投降了。因为，怕吃不饱。恶人可以运用恶法，继续控制，践踏人民；为了民主而不惜牺牲自由，甚至生命的人，竟然只落得淡淡的一句嘲讽：兴风作浪，咎由自取。你说，我怎么能不为这些人而悲哀？

老板是野蛮的人！

霹雳州事件真的让人大开眼界，原来真正的老板是野蛮的人！所以，下一次遇到他们继续喊，“人民是老板”的时候，问问他，“如果我们是老板，那光明正大使用警察暴力来挑战并更换我们选出来的管理层的又是什么呢？”我们的眼睛是雪亮的，别以为我们什么都看不见！下一次大选，我们肯定让人看不见你在国会出现！

今天看清楚了谁才是老板！

最近在霹雳州就更加的明显，人民老板选出了他们属意的管理层后，那些在大选时高喊“人民是老板”的人，公然想尽办法挖掘管理层的工作人员，以强盗的方式夺取进入管理层的权利！这时候，他们脸上，很清楚的写着“我才是老板！你们全部都得听我的！”如果不听的话呢？这可简单了，叫几个大汉，进去管理层的办公室强行把总经理拉走，然后安排自己人坐上去，向外宣布“这个人才是合理的总经理，即使他不是人民老板所选出来的，可是只要我说他合理，他就合理！”你不相信合理吗？不要紧，你试试上法庭看！

Wakil rakyat PKR, isteri dibebas

Jarang berlaku dalam sejarah negara, gara-gara persidangan DUN Perak semalam, 117 orang ditahan polis, termasuk terpaksa meringkuk di lokap.Jumlah itu termasuk 11 orang termasuk ADUN Padungan, Dominique Ng dan isterinya yang dibebaskan hari ini selepas ditahan kerana menyertai bantahan sambil menyalakan lilin di Kuching malam tadi.

一个马来西亚口号惨遭黑色颠覆

这次的霹雳州议会事件，遭警方逮捕而送入扣留所的人士，根据统计单在本周二至周四短短3天内，就高达116人。这包括了公选盟发言人黄进发、回教党副主席莫哈末沙布、在怡保507霹雳州议会召开当日被逮捕的69人，举行烛光会被逮捕的人士即槟城（1人）、吉隆坡(第一批14人，第二批20人)以及古晋（11人），扣除了两次被逮捕的公正党中文党报主编刘德豪，被逮捕的总人数是116人。

史上最乱州议会3天逮捕116人

被喻为史上最混乱的霹雳州议会虽然已落幕，但是因为这次州议会而遭到警方逮捕的人士，前前后后竟然高达116人之多。这些被逮捕者已在今日全数获释。若对过去的大型政治镇压行动仍然记忆犹新，不难发现警方这几天的逮捕人数之多，仅亚于1987年的茅草行动。

Operators to sue the police for disrupting your businesses

Shriram Venugopal: It was reported that the police went on an arresting rampage to the extent of even carting off people who were having their breakfast at restaraunts. Frankly, I stopped being surprised a very long time ago at just how low the police can go.I urge the affected restaurant owners and operators to sue the police for disrupting your businesses, harassing your customers and trespassing on your property without a warrant. I also urge the Bar Council to provide assistance to these restaurant operators in filing a civil suit. Sue them hard! Its high time those who have clearly sold their souls to the devil be taught a lesson.

Zambry had insulted the Perak royalty

Alice: Zambry had insulted the Perak royalty by convening the assembly before the Regent gave his address. Most importantly, he has successfully driven the final nail into BN's coffin. From being a non-partisan citizen, my friends, relatives and I are so repulsed by what he did yesterday, that we will now start a relentless campaign to ensure BN's demise at the next election. Well done, Zambry, you achieved hell of a lot in one day.

Abused the police force

Yih Feng Low: Seeing how BN has abused the police force, the civil service, the judiciary, the election commission and the media to stay in power in Perak, one wonders if fresh elections will be fair. The actions of BN in recent times have dealt a structural blow to the already shaky democratic foundation of Malaysia. It seems that with each passing day, hopes of a free and democratic Malaysia grows much much dimmer.

Dictatorship of a fascist regime

The Dark Knight: What all Malaysians fail to understand is that Malaysians are no longer ruled by politicians, leaders, elected officials or even morons. What Malaysians should understand today is that Malaysians are currently living under the dictatorship of a fascist regime.

They have not learned anything

Milton Yap: I would have thought that the BN would have learnt the lessons of March 2008 and try hard to earn back the hearts of the ‘rakyat'. From what happened in Perak yesterday, it is very clear they have not learned anything. The ‘rakyat' just have to be patient and in 2013 vote even forcefully to rid BN. It is a national sorrow that the infrastructure which are supposed to work for the ‘rakyat' ie, the police, the sergeant-at-arms, the state secretary, and the courts are all acting without impartiality.

Let the ‘rakyat' in Perak decide

All this unnecessary embarrassment could have been avoided. Dissolve the assembly and let the ‘rakyat' in Perak decide. Police involvement in the forceful removal of House Speaker Sivakumar is disappointing.It is sad to see how police human resources are wasted. With such a high number of personnel in place, the authority could have wiped out all the Mat Rempit over a weekend.

Look who's talking?

TCP: Look who's talking? Look which crab is trying to teach another crab to walk straight? If he has any grain of truth in him, he would not have allowed the Perak state assembly to turn into the farce that it had yesterday. He is a hypocrite and has absolutely no credibility whatsoever.

The traitor Hee Yit Fong, hear her spout her venom

Ko-han Wai: I am really surprised how some people can sleep at night after the awful things they do. Look at the traitor Hee Yit Fong, hear her spout her venom (pepper spray included). I mean who does she think she is? Asking the people to understand her, that she is only fulfilling her duties and not abusing her powers.Only defending yourself? What? By spraying people with pepper spray? And she has the cheek to openly lie by saying that she only waved her key-chain at Yew Tian Hoe (DAP-Aulong). The people are not as ignorant as you think. To end this, there is an old Chinese saying: ‘Beware of the final two years of your life'.Peter Ooi: I got goose bumps reading Hee's side of the story. Yes, Hee you did not rob the speake's power but you seized it, to put it mildly.

Cloud of suspicion

Lim Chong Leong: The release of ISA detainees is certainly welcomed but the reason for their release is under a cloud of suspicion. Is this mere eyewash to divert our attention from the Perak assembly episode? Is this government serious in abolishing the ISA? It certainly seems not since they are still trying to justify the need for ISA by announcing the detention of Mas Selamat.

I doubt our country has a bright future

From yesterday's episode, I doubt our country has a bright future. Police detained the ‘innocents', who in my opinion, do not even pose any threat to the country.From the Perak political fiasco yesterday, there is clearly no justice right now in Malaysia.‘Looking on the bright side, he is being very helpful. I'd suggest that Najib continue to do what he's best at. That will make the next general election much easier for Pakatan and the rakyat.'

Seek help from relevant international bodies

A number ‘1BlackMalaysia' day indeed. People are being thrown into prison or arrested for being in a coffee shop near the vicinity of the secretariat building, and people were arrested for wearing black.No more fence-sitting and watching our respect, self-esteem, human rights, and dignity being trodden and trampled by the powers that be. Let us seek help from relevant international bodies to scrutinise our government and check the imbalances and irregularities faced by our people here.

Stop taking the rakyat for a ride

I am utterly disgusted by the way Sivakumar was ousted by the BN ADUNs. Stop taking the rakyat for a ride. All your antics in the ‘Dewan' were relayed live to all readers on the Internet. The way power was grabbed showed that you and BN ADUNs are no better than highway robbers. Can highway robbers be lawmakers? A real joke it must be.

I urge the Pakatan government to be calm

One thing is for sure: in the next GE, it will give the people more excuses to vote for anything but BN. So, BN you can cheat now but remember it is not halal.

BN digging their own graves

The fiasco in Perak, which was created by BN, is nothing but digging their own graves. BN doesn't have the basic decorum to show that they respect the ideology of democracy.

The police should be ashamed of themselves

Is it in the police's jurisdictions to drag a house speaker out from an Assembly? The police should be ashamed of themselves, sending plainclothes policemen to drag V Sivakumar out of his chair. Two days ago, IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan said that they do not have enough police personnel to combat crimes. But it's amazing that they were able to send hundreds of police personnel to Ipoh. I do not think the Malaysian police are really concerned over the 'rakyat'.

Tearing into pieces the RM1 note

Isn't the Malaysian currency note a national property? It seems that Jelapang assembly person Hee Yit Foong has committed a serious crime by tearing into pieces the RM1 note that Yew Tian Hoe (DAP-Aulong) showered unto her.Someone please do Malaysia a favour: Lodge a police report, take this criminal to court, and strip her of her status as a state assembly person. One who has no respect for our national property is as good as a traitor. We do not need a traitor as the people's voice.

Absolutely disgusting and despicable

Absolutely disgusting and despicable that BN will resort to such repugnant and vile techniques to snatch power from the people of Perak.They will use any way or method to kidnap the power of the ‘rakyat' to feed their power-hungry pursuits. BN has just lost Perak for a whole generation. ‘1BlackMalaysia' indeed!

Appointing a circus clown as a speaker

I respect and wish to congratulate the Perak state speaker Sivakumar. He had sacrificed for the nation and especially for the Perak ‘rakyat' by sitting in his chair for almost six hours without food and easing himself.All motions passed by Barisan Nasional (BN) were illegal as the speaker Sivakumar had to pass the motion first.The circus created by BN and appointing a circus clown as a speaker, switching off the speaker's microphone and allowing police to remove the speaker are all illegal.

It's shame on Malaysian democracy

If Umno can throw away a legitimate speaker in a barbarian manner, then I don't have anything to say other than ‘demokrasi Malaysia dah masuk longkang'. But believe me, Malaysian will rectify this in the 13th general election and I'm committed to change the barbarian rule.

What is wrong with BN?

Why are they desperate for power in Perak? Is there any gold mine that is waiting to be uncorked by BN cronies in Perak? Even people having breakfast in a restaurant are arrested. Is this the kind of freedom that we voted for?I am so sad with the political developments in Perak. This is the beginning of the end of BN. When is that? The next GE. Wait and see.

You are the hero - Keadilan eclub support u..

Speaker Sivakumar, you are the hero - you da' man - ‘jantan tulen'. You have shown great courage - standing alone in battle - against the mighty combined forces of the federal government, the monarchy and the police.You did not budge - you did not waver. I had expected you to falter. After all, any ordinary man would.But you held on, demonstrating nerves of steel. And held on you did - before you were physically removed from the speaker's chair.I come to understand that you were mildly injured during the scuffle. Worry not, for you shall wear those physical scars proudly as your crowning glory for the people of Malaysia.

质疑旨转移霹州视线

挑战内政部长希山慕丁废除内安法令，别再假意以释放扣留者之名，转移人民不满国阵在霹雳州夺权的视线。希山慕丁宣布释放13名内安法令扣留者，包括3名兴权会领袖，是否承认他们并没有犯罪，或是承认当时扣留他们是错误的决定。政府应彻底的解决问题，不是今天说想刚上任就释放扣留者，日后要镇压人民时又使用内安法令扣留政治人物及人民。纳吉出任首相时同样宣布释放13名内安法令扣留者，我强烈质疑国阵政府的这个举动是要转移人民的视线，昨日国阵动用警方介入霹雳州议会把议长西华古玛及在霹雳、吉隆坡、槟城的大逮捕已让人民对国阵感到反感。允许未经审讯扣留的内安法令违反人权，如果犯罪就应提控上法庭，如今的内安法令只是用来对付政敌而已。

Sivakumar says he is still the Speaker

Ousted Perak Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar, the man at the heart of yesterday's chaotic state legislative sitting here, maintained today the controversial session of the state assembly was never convened, and that he still holds office.

纳兹林称无意涉及政治纠纷

重申国阵霹州夺权手段鲁莽

马哈迪：苏丹无权革除大臣

备受瞩目的霹雳州议会召开在即，马哈迪却在今日提出与国阵政府立场徊异的看法，犹如掴了一手策划霹雳州变天行动的现任首相纳吉一巴掌。这名作风“直肠直肚”的前首相认为，苏丹无权革除被遴选出来的一州政府首脑，除非议会通过不信任动议。不过马哈迪却语锋一转表示，闹双包大臣的霹雳州宪法可能有所不同。马哈迪也再次重申，国阵夺取霹雳州政权的手段看起来相当鲁莽，虽然国阵的行为可能是合法的。不过这名曾经担任22年首相的前首相却认为，若议长违法，法院就有权聆审议长的决定是否合理。当受询及是否应该重选，以化解霹雳州宪法危机时，马哈迪却回避表示应该交由霹雳州政府决定。

Dr M: Rulers cannot remove MBs

PUTRAJAYA, May 6 — A day before the Perak state assembly endorses a palace-appointed mentri besar, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said his understanding was that any state Ruler cannot remove the head of government.
"I don't know how different the Perak Constitution is from the Federal Constitution but if a leader asks the Ruler to dissolve the assembly, the Ruler has the right to refuse. But he cannot remove the head of government either," the country's fourth prime minister told reporters today.
"The head of government will then have to function without a majority and can be removed via a motion of no confidence," said Dr Mahathir, who as prime minister led a successful move to remove the immunity of the Rulers in 1993.
He also said a state assembly speaker can be sued if there are complaints or if laws are broken. However, the judiciary cannot interfere with the speaker's decisions on its own.
"If someone makes a complaint or if there is evidence of a breach of law, the judiciary can pass judgment. If what the speaker is doing is in accordance with the law, that is quite different from rules of legislature which have certain privileges," he said, adding the judiciary can judge only if the privileges are abused.

逮捕黄进发加剧霹州宪政危机
