Kajang By Election and Recent Court Case Decisions: First Shots in Bringing About Political Change
Recently I was honoured to be asked to speak at a political rally organized by the Pakatan Rakyat in support of the PKR candidate, Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail who was contesting the Kajang by-election. In my address to the crowd which I kept short, since I was sharing time with Kak Azizah, Saudara Anwar and other PR politicial leaders, I chose not to speak on the political issues which should influence the way that the Kajang electorate should vote. Instead, I focused on my personal experience with the MCA and explained why a vote for the MCA candidate was an exercise in futility.
Political Change in the Air
That night was a memorable one for me. Firstly, it was the first time that I have ever made a speech from the roof of a truck. Secondly I did not expect the crowd of enthusistic supporters cheering the speakers to run into the many thousands gathered there. To be honest, when I made the trip from Ipoh to Kajang, I had expected election fatigue with the by election coming so soon after the 2013 national elections. Instead I saw sheer energy and commitment – from the top political guns to the volunteer party workers and all the way to the people gathered patiently in the padang. Most important, I felt a tremendous sense of camadarie among the multi-racial crowd. I had beeen afraid of the sense of racial unity and solidarity in the opposition, given UMNO's latest attempts to play the divide and rule game in Selangor focusing on the Allah issue. I was also concerned that the PKR's and PR's credentials as a multi-ethnic and multi-religious party and coalition may have been eroded by the propaganda BN war. I can honestly say that what I saw took me by surprise – the multi-racial support for PR and PKR is not only strong but growing!
I left the rally that night fully convinced that if Kajang was an example of the political sentiment in the country, we will definitely have a change of government during the next elections.
As it turned out. Kak Azizah won the by election with a handsome majority despite her campaign being heavily outgunned by the big spending and no-holds barred campaign of the BN. Perhaps because the national spotlight was on this single election and the result in Kajang did not threaten BN's majority in Parliament, there have been few reports of dirty tricks attempted by the BN to ensure a victory for its candidiate, Chew Mei Fun.
Beware of More Dirty Tricks Ahead
Today, the BN coalition is in power despite receiving only 47% of total votes cast in the 2013. elections. During the next elections, we can expected that percentage to fall down even further. I am confident from what I witnessed in Kajang that the majority of Malaysians – Malays and Non-Malays; East and Semenanjung Malaysians - want political change and have the stamina to outlast the BN. But at the same time, we must be fully prepared for an even more unfair, unprincipled and unethical election the next time round.
The Conviction of Anwar and Karpal
In fact the conviction of Anwar on the second sodomy charge and Karpal on the sedition charge can be seen as the opening shots by the BN for the next national GE. The two charges are nothing else but pure political persecution aimed at removing two of the most charismatic and potent opposition leaders and sowing dissention in the ranks of the PKR and DAP. Much has been written by the international media on these two trumped up charges which have led the United States Department of State to issue a press statement expressing concern in the following way
United States Department of State’s concerns
“The decision to prosecute Mr. Anwar and his trial have raised a number of concerns regarding the rule of law and the independence of the courts. In this high-profile case, it is critical for Malaysia to apply the rule of law fairly, transparently, and apolitically in order to promote confidence in Malaysia’s democracy and judiciary.”
BN Government's Miscalculation
Anwar's conviction was arrived at with unprecedented and indecent speed by the appeal court judges; hence triggering Kak Azizah's nomination. If the Government thinks that this will finish off Anwar and PKR politically, it has miscalculated.
During the Kajang election campaign, ordinary people I spoke to were incensed that the Government would stoop so low to using our courst of law to kill off the two highly regarded and veteran politicians. The subsequent PKR victory showed the extent of the voting public's anger with this dirty trick.
In the months and years ahead, I am sure that Anwar's sodomy 2.0 conviction will prove to be a rallying point for Malaysians outraged with the way in which the courts of law are being treated as political courts to score points by the BN government against the opposition. BN may appear to have won the court victory; they will find out that they will lose the war.

Usah bertindak sebagai sampah masyarakat dengan mengata yang bukan-bukan. Ya Allah, selamatkan Duitbesar ini. Kembalikan hamba ini ke landasan yg benar. Mudah-mudahan Allah mengampuni dosa-dosanya.

Marc11, mana pernah cina diseksa oleh Umno! Lu tengok melayu Umno sangat best sampai sampah macam Uncle Kon pun senang kaya. Lu cari negara orang putih cina layan macam sampah, betul atau tidak. Amerika cina bebas suara pendapat atau tidak, cina amerika sampai nama pun jadi orang putih, hanya Malaysia budaya cina tak kacau.

Duitbesar, wujud perbedaan antara orang yang JAHIL dengan alim. Orang JAHIL guna fikiran sempit untuk berhujah. Orang ALIM guna ILMU. Otak orang JAHIL yang tak ada ilmu akan berhujah gunakan nafsu dan otaknya yang tidak berilmu. Sebab itu Allah tanya: "Samakah antara orang yang berilmu dengan orang yang tidak berilmu." Kalau orang JAHIL tidak ikut orang alim, maka bertambah-tambahlah kejahilannya. Selamat Membuat Pilihan Duitbesar.
2014-03-29 14:26
Paklah otak dalam mangkuk. Hujah salah guna agama. Mana ilmu saham. Tunjuk dulu ilmu saham sebelum ilmu bangang.
2014-03-29 14:32
Paklah memang mangkuk saham. Salcon masa murah dah jual..you memang bangang. Tengok harga salcon sekarang. Abang ketawa besar orang mangkuk saham buat pandai...hahahaha.
2014-03-29 14:34
Korang baca post abang. Saham abang rekomen semua naik, untung besar. Sebelum korang tunjuk ilmu bangang, lebih baik korang diam
2014-03-29 14:38
Duitbesar, terima kasih atas pandangan anda. setiap individu akan mambuat pilihan yang bijak. Kita akan makan kangkung percuma jika ada, berlajar ilmu jahil jika boleh nemnangani masalah. Sekian.

Segala puji bagi Allah, tuhan semesta alam. Selawat dan salam ke atas nabi junjungan, Muhammad SAW. Tujuan ambo semurni-murninya. Ambo terpanggil menegur Duitbesar supaya tidak terus terjerumus ke lembah yang tiada patah baliknya. Ambo tak sanggup melihat Duitbesar menerima azab dan balasan di akhirat nanti. Henti kan daripada membuat tuduhan tanpa asas.

Amerika dah kawan baik sama Malaysia, Uncle Koon cuba jawap mengapa Obama tak ingin turun China. Tengok saja power PM Najib, sampai kawan baik pun sanggup turun padang. Korang tau ke Obama tau cakap melayu? Dia membesR kat Indonesia, sangat suka Malaysia. Kawan baik punya.
2014-03-29 14:43
Obama memang cun cakap melayu Indonesia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XvsY7rArfg
2014-03-29 14:54
Obama 4 tahun saja di Indonesia pun sampai jadi Presiden Amerika masih boleh fasih bertutur melayu Indonesia. Uncle Koon dah 80 tahun pun masih cakap bertutur English dengan itik. You tak malu dengan Presiden Obama?
2014-03-29 15:04
Anwar baru-baru ini ke Amerika untuk 'berbulan madu'. Uncle Koon, tanya sama Anwar siapa special masa bulan madu itu. Presiden Obama pun tak tahu Anwar ada di Amerika. Uncle Koon saja buat cerita pasal Amerika dan Anwar. You memang orang tua yang racun kaum cina kat Malaysia.
2014-03-29 15:13
Hahahaha...abang tengok dan baca reply korang macam buang garam dalam laut jerr. Kesian, tak ada ke bahas yang berilmu supaya abang terkena? Gelar abang anjing tu, abang senyum terima kasih saja. Abang minum kopi huat arr saja. Tak rasa apa-apa, korang langsung tak hebat bahas balik.

Duitbesar, ko ni gila talak ke apa? Lagi banyak ko bukak mulut, lagi banyak terserlah kebodohan ko. Jangan malukan kaum kita, siol. Belajar jadi insan yang beriman. Kalu sikap macam ni, ko ingat kita senang nak berdakwah? Tatacara ko tak ubah macam Mat Zin Ibrahim Tukang Bomoh MH370. Mashaallah.

Kita pelabur saham kena ingat apa yang Anwar buat pada saham Union Paper. Dia jadi menteri kewangan pada masa tu. Kesihan si Tamrin yang beli banyak saham tu dengan harapan bapa dia tidak akan mempertahankan jawatan timbalan presiden UMNO. KORUPSI BERLAKU DI SINI.

Fortunately or unfortunately I do not know enough of Bahasa to understand Duitbasar's commentaries, otherwise I could have responded appropriately.
During my schooling days, Bahasa was not taught. I only know enough to order mee robus and pay parking fine. This is not the reason why I did not get a datoship. Do I want it?

Mr.Koon i strongly feel that it doesnt matter what we are doing that can pleases other ppl, however we must follow our self-conscious positively. These discerning attitude will eventually pays off one day, especially during predicament times such as now. Keep up with the good jonesses!

Eye-catching title but it is only a few lines regarding the title, all the rest is author's elaboration of his experience in Kajang. Sigh
