PUSH HARDER

ANOTHER ARTICLE WRITTEN BY PAKAC LUTEB

The recent crackdowns on various bloggers, including RPK, the police report against commentators in Malaysia Today, the arrests of people holding anti-ISA vigils and numerous similar cases show how desperate the BN/UMNO regime is in their bid to stifle the freedom of expression.

In addition to making a mockery of the claim by the bn/umno regime that "Malaysia is a democracy", the crackdown shows that the BN/UMNO government's promise to "not censor the internet" was merely empty words, merely "saying the right thing" to attract foreign ICT
companies to invest in the multimedia super corridor (MSC).

The BN/UMNO government has exhausted its credibility, whatever it does, whatever reforms it may implement, is "too little too late".

The BN/UMNO crackdowns on freedom of expression only serve to demonstrate how important it is to completely oust BN/UMNO from the government.

The harder BN/UMNO pushes the rakyat, the harder the rakyat will push back.

Maybe we should all wear Tshirts with the inscription "Push Harder".
