Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek said the Bersih 4 rally in Kuala Lumpur today and tomorrow is aimed at not only toppling the government but also destroying the country.

He said he drew the conclusion based on the module used by the organiser which resembled that of the Arab Spring in the Middle East.

"We find that the module used by Bersih is similar to that used to topple governments Arab Spring style where there is no clear leader or organisation and social media is used.

"When the governments in Libya, Yemen fell, the people suffered and some had to flee to other countries. In the end, who was responsible (for the rallies)?

"This is what Bersih is attempting," he told reporters after launching the Selangor-level Farmers, Breeders and Fishermen's Day in Kuala Selangor.

Shabery said he was not surprised when outsiders supported Bersih 4 because they wanted to see an unstable and insecure Malaysia.

He said it could not be denied that many supported the rally but, in the end, the people would suffer the consequences.

"Bersih does not bring any good to the country. It is saddening that the rally is disrupting preparations for the National Day celebration on Monday," he said.
