VOXPOP ‘They want their wrongdoings to be hidden. The world is advancing but our leaders are trying to protect themselves by restricting freedom.'

DAP: Gov't ready to renew attempts to censor Internet

Gotcha: People or governments that are corrupt fear Internet freedom. They want their wrongdoings to be hidden under the carpet. The world is advancing but our leaders are trying to protect themselves by restricting freedom.

Mahashitla: Only the alternative media in the Internet can expose and neutralise Umno-BN's spins and lies.

We have all witnessed how the mainstream media, led by Utusan Malaysia , have been spinning lies and hatred and still get away with it. Any curbing of the Internet by this government must be vigorously protested.

AkuMelayu: Penang CM Lim Guan Eng said: "BN sees the Internet as a threat because the freedom and truth in the Internet allows lies, hate and fear to be quickly exposed."

Now look who is actually afraid? Lim is jumping because he is afraid of the government's attempt to censor the Internet as this will curtail his ‘Red Bean Army' from disseminating and spewing lies about BN, which had helped DAP in GE13.

Not Convinced: AkuMelayu, where is the evidence of DAP's RM100 million Red Bean Army?

As they say, a lie told often enough becomes the truth.

Heavywater: Through the Internet, we get to see the real BN which the government's so-called leaders want to hide. They are afraid of their own shadows. The days of the ‘government knows best' are dead and gone.

Now it is about what Malaysians want and we are not stupid. The majority of us have seen the world and through the Internet, we know how well or badly the government operates.

The majority has gotten to know how stupid our government is. So, sorry, has the horse has left the barn?

Anwar furious at election petition dismissals

Anonymous#70866269: The time has finally arrived for decent, righteous and caring citizens to rise up and defend Malaysia from being plundered, oppressed, selectively prosecuted, cheated, racialised and brainwashed by a rogue regime.

Pakatan Rakyat leaders have consistently fought for us using legitimate avenues without any positive results. We, the majority of the rakyat, must take an immediate stance. We have to react firmly to remove them.

Anonymous #79199503: Election Commission chairman Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof and deputy chairman Wan Ahmad Wan Omar will be out of jobs and attorney-general Gani Patail will go into early retirement if BN had to concede defeat in GE13.

Therefore, they have to ensure that these petitions are thrown out.

Well Thats Fantastic: Time to involve international courts? Is that possible? Isn't that ridiculous? Are our courts so abused and corrupted that we need to resort to using outside courts?

I hope we can make the world aware of how we are run by a corrupt government with this.

Mangusta: We now understand what 'transformation' is all about - these reported cases of fraud during the elections now have ceased to exist.

Katusha: What to do when the judges seem to be Umno-fearing instead of God-fearing?

Foreign students spreading Shiite teachings, claim dons

Prithvi: First they said the Chinese are going to topple the government, and now it's the Shiites? Day by day, they are behaving like comedians, blaming every each and other except themselves.

But what goes around will come back - for the amount of atrocities Umno leaders are doing in the name of religion, it will certainly backfire on them one day. Carry on your ‘drama abad ini' (drama of the century).

Paul Warren: My Pakistani friend, a Shiite, had to hide the fact in order to be able to go to mosque for the 10 years or so that he was here.

I used to ask him what the fuss was - you guys are all Muslims so what does it matter if you are Sunni, Shiite, Islamiah or whatever else?

But then again, I suppose he had to very quickly learn the formalities of prayers in the mosques which were different from what he subscribed to.

Vijay47: There is one thing I must give credit to certain of our Muslim Malaysians and their outlook which is apparently founded on only two simple tracts.

First is to threaten and warn non-Muslims of dire consequences on anything the non-Muslims may practise. The second is their refined penchant in discovering hidden dangers and conspiracies.

They are most imaginative when attributing blame to others - it is always others, never themselves despite the most shameful and criminal of conducts - and in their world vision, if it is not the Christians, the Jews, the Chinese, PAS, the West, Anwar Ibrahim the Jew lover, and the non-Malays, they are catholic enough in their fault-finding to condemn fellow Muslims.

At the same time, they will be screeching as to how pious they and the rest of Umno are. I have to stop now. I cannot see the keyboard when I am laughing.

Supercession:  Universiti Utara Malaysia vice-chancellor Prof Mohamed Mustafa Ishak and former Universiti Teknologi Mara vice-chancellor Ibrahim Abu Shah will next invent the story of how Christians, communists, Jews, the West, Tamil Tigers, beans of all colours, Ayah Pin, Obedient Wives Club, etc, are collaborating and spreading their teachings on campus and are therefore, by some leap of logic, trying to 'overthrow' the minority government of Umno.

Well Thats Fantastic: So religious freedom in this country is truly a fallacy. If it's not about power and control, what is it about?

Hang Tuah PJ: The Shiites, the Wahabis, the Christians, the Hindus, PAS, the Chinese, Pakatan, DAP, what else or who else wants to overthrow the government? Next they will be seeing enemies in their own shadows.

Selvi: Here's an idea for the vice-chancellors. So, instead of giving places in our taxpayer-funded public universities to foreigners, how about offering those places to our own children, you know, those whose parents actually pay the taxes to fund our public universities?
