The great political debate (UPDATED with Chinese Translation)
The estimated one million (or 700,000, according to the official statistics) Malaysians living and working outside Malaysia should be allowed to vote by postal voting. The estimated one million (or 700,000, according to the official statistics) Malaysians living and working outside Malaysia should not register to vote in case the EC uses these names to stuff the ballot boxes with ‘phantom’ votes.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
I have detected some interesting arguments being posted in the Blogs that you can probably use to convince people why they should vote opposition. These arguments come from Malaysia Today’s readers and I present them here not necessarily in order of priority.
We should vote for Pakatan Rakyat even if they field monkeys and donkeys as candidates as long as Umno and its stooges are kicked out. (This gem came from Li Xiang Lan).
Barisan Nasional’s Election Manifesto will bankrupt the country if implemented. Barisan Nasional’s Election Manifesto is not original — it is a copycat Election Manifesto that was stolen from Pakatan Rakyat.
Hindraf will not support Pakatan Rakyat or Barisan Nasional unless both agree to Hindraf’s demands. Pakatan Rakyat’s Election Manifesto is stolen from Hindraf, which Barisan Nasional then stole from Pakatan Rakyat.
Senile old men like Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who is in his 80s and ruled Malaysia for 22 years, should just retire and no longer talk about politics. Nik Aziz Nik Mat, who is also in his 80s and has ruled Kelantan for 23 years, should serve at least another term.
Dr Chandra Muzaffar is being punished by God for opposing the opposition and that is why he is condemned to a wheelchair. Karpal Singh who supports the opposition and is also confined to a wheelchair is not being punished by God.
Those who used to be in the opposition and have now left the opposition are traitors who should shut up and not criticise the opposition. Those who used to be in the government and have now joined the opposition are patriots who should go all over the country and whack the government.
Non-Muslims must be allowed their democratic right to criticise Islam, as this is considered freedom of speech. Non-Christians must not be allowed to pass comments regarding Christianity, as this is considered mocking Christianity.
If Pakatan Rakyat takes over there will not be any witch-hunt. However, jobs and contracts given out under the Barisan Nasional government will be terminated wherever possible.
If Pakatan Rakyat takes over, all those who have committed misdeeds will be hounded and punished for their crimes. However, those who have committed misdeeds but cross over and join the opposition will not be hounded and punished for their crimes.
If Barisan Nasional wins the general election, Pakatan Rakyat will not accept the result because of the rampant and blatant election fraud and gerrymandering. If Pakatan Rakyat wins the general election then Barisan Nasional must respect the wishes of the voters although the general election is rife with election fraud and gerrymandering.
Bersih is non-partisan and just wants to see a clean and fair election, never mind which party may end up winning the election. Bersih wants the voters to vote for Pakatan Rakyat and kick out Barisan Nasional.
Pakatan Rakyat guarantees the people of Sabah and Sarawak full autonomy. Pakatan Rakyat will determine who gets to contest in Sabah and Sarawak. The local Sabahans and Sarawakians have no say in the matter.
The estimated one million (or 700,000, according to the official statistics) Malaysians living and working outside Malaysia should be allowed to vote by postal voting. The estimated one million (or 700,000, according to the official statistics) Malaysians living and working outside Malaysia should not register to vote in case the EC uses these names to stuff the ballot boxes with ‘phantom’ votes.
Why is Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak delaying the general election? Why is Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak rushing the general election by allowing a short campaign period?
Why is Barisan Nasional putting up flags and banners before Nomination Day, in breach of the election rules? Why is the government removing the flags and banners that the opposition has put up?
This general election is about whom you want as Prime Minister — Anwar Ibrahim or Najib Tun Razak. This general election is not about personalities but about change.
This general election is not about mere promises but about track record, and Barisan Nasional’s track record is dismal. This general election is about what Pakatan Rakyat promises to do for you if you allow the opposition to form the federal government.
Lim Kit Siang is scared of losing his seat in Perak. That is why he is cowardly leaving Perak to contest in a safe seat in Johor. Lim Kit Siang is brave. That is why he is leaving his safe seat in Perak to contest in an unsafe seat in Johor.
Anwar Ibrahim is a coward. He does not dare contest in a seat in Perak. Anwar Ibrahim is loyal to his supporters. That is why he is staying in his seat in Penang.
I think those are enough arguments that you can use to campaign in the coming general election.
Happy campaigning!

我在博客上踫到一些很有意思的論點，我覺得你們可以拿來説服選民們以投給反對黨。以下這些爭論是從MT讀者口中說出的，在此我不分先後的把它們寫出來。
“爲了能夠把囯陣踢出局，我們應該投給民聯，即使他們把一些猴子驢子委任為他們的候選人。”（此為讀者Li Xiang Lan的經典留言)。
“囯陣的選舉宣言會讓國家破產。囯陣的選舉宣言是抄襲民聯的。”
“Hindraf 是不會支持囯陣或民聯的，除非他們答應Hindraf的條件。民聯的選舉宣言是抄襲Hindraf的，而囯陣則是抄襲民聯的。”
“馬哈迪這個80多嵗和掌權了22年的老糊塗應該退休且別再談論政治。現年也是80多嵗的聶阿玆（Nik Aziz Nik Mat），在吉蘭丹掌權了23年后，應該再留任多一屆。 ”
“Chandra Muzaffar醫生因針對反對黨而遭天譴，所以他殘廢了，必須坐在輪椅上。但，同樣是坐在輪椅上的Karpal Singh 不是被上帝懲罰，因爲他支持反對黨。”
“那些曾經呆在反對黨而現在跳出來的都是叛徒，他們應該閉嘴且不應該批評反對黨。那些曾經呆在執政黨而現在跳出來的都是愛國者，他們應該巡迴全國來大爆執政黨醜事。”
“非穆斯林應該有自由地批評伊斯蘭教，因爲這是言論自由。非基督徒不應該對基督教發言，因爲這是在諷刺基督教。”
“如果民聯執政的話他們不會去騷擾那些持不同政见者。無論如何，巫統執政期間所給出的工作崗位和合同等都會被取消。”
“如果民聯執政的話那些之前犯錯的將會一一被揪出和懲罰。那些之前犯錯但已跳槽到民聯的則不會。”
“如果囯陣在大選中勝出的話，那民聯可以不接受，因爲選舉的不公與結果被篡改是顯而易見的。如果民聯贏的話，囯陣應該尊重選民的意見，即使選舉是不公的。”
“Bersih是不含政治議程的。他們要的是公正的選舉，不論誰是贏輸家。Bersih要選民投給民聯以踢囯陣出局。”
“民聯會確保沙巴與砂磱越的自主權。民聯會決定沙巴與砂磱越的上陣人選，這兩州的人民就這件事上是沒有話事權的。”
“大約有1百萬（官方數字為70萬）在國外生活與工作的大馬人應該被允許以郵寄方式投票。 大約有1百萬（官方數字為70萬）在國外生活與工作的大馬人不應該被允許以郵寄方式投票，以防選舉委員會利用他們的郵寄選票來為幽靈選民投票。”
“爲什麽首相納吉要借故延遲大選呢？爲什麽首相納吉要用特段的競選期來使大選儘快結束呢？”
“爲什麽囯陣能犯規，在提名日前挂上黨旗呢？政府凴什麽拆掉反對黨在提名日前挂上的黨旗呢？”
“此次大選視乎你要誰儅首相—-安華或納吉。大選並不是選人品，而是要改變。”
“此次大選並不著重于諾言，而是以往的表現，囯陣正好有很差的過往表現。此次大選著重于民聯給你的諾言。”
“林吉祥因爲怕在霹靂輸掉他的議席而懦弱的到柔佛打一場必勝的大選。林吉祥很勇敢，因爲他肯離開霹靂這個堡壘去柔佛這個戰區。”
“安華是個懦夫，他不敢到霹靂上陣。安華對他的支持者很忠誠，所以他繼續留在檳城。”
我想以上應該有足夠的言論來讓你用作大選的說詞了。
預祝你大選愉快！！
