It's unfortunate the PM has taken a confrontational attitude to people who are expressing their views on something so important - free and fair elections,the basic prerequisite for a true democracy.
Nobody is challenging the PM or the government.Nobody is trying to topple the government that has been elected.All we ask for is to ensure the elections are conducted in a fair and free manner,where the opposition is treated equally as the ruling party.Equal opportunities should be given to them to reach the rakyat.Is asking for these rights as provided for in the Constitution a unfair demand?
If only the government can meet the people's demands in a spirit of cordial dialogs,there would be no tension whatsoever.The police instead of ensuring thIe people's gathering goes on peacefully,has unfortunately also taken a combative attitude against the very people whom they are tasked to protect.
We pray that all parties concerned would abide by the laws so that law and order will be upheld and the gathering will go on peacefully as planned.We hope the police will come hard on those out to create trouble and not those participating peacefully.
Patriotism is doing something for the love of the nation.There can be nothing more treacherous to our nation than being silent when faced with blatant injustice.
God bless Malaysia
