Looking at the Malaysiakini issue from the wrong angle
When Pakatan Harapan was in power, they did nothing to ensure there is more freedom in Malaysia. When they are not in power, they scream that there is no freedom in Malaysia.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Many or most Malaysians sympathise with Malaysiakini and feel that Malaysiakini is a victim of injustice. Is that so? Was Malaysiakini convicted without trial? Was Malaysiakini not tried in court and was Malaysiakini not allowed to appeal their conviction in the Court of Appeal and in the Federal Court?
Malaysiakini was tried in open court and was found guilty in a proper trail and they lost their appeal at all levels. So why act as if Malaysiakini suffered an injustice?
If Malaysiakini did suffer an injustice, then it can only be because the law itself is unjust. If these laws are silly and unjust why did Pakatan Harapan not abolish them when they were in power from May 2018 to February 2020?
Sudahlah, Anwar, kenapa masa ada kuasa dulu tak buat?
Pakatan Harapan had 22 months to abolish each and every unjust law in Malaysia. Why did they not do so?
Anwar Ibrahim says Muhyiddin Yassin no longer has the majority in Parliament. Anwar says he has at least 125-135 Members of Parliament with him.
Good for him. Then he and Pakatan Harapan will be able to abolish all silly and unjust laws. Remove all these laws so that Malaysiakini and others will never face prosecution and conviction for merely practicing freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of the press, freedom of choice, freedom of association, freedom of drinking liquor, freedom to smoke ganja, freedom of same gender sex, freedom of crossdressing, etc.
When Pakatan Harapan was in power, they did nothing to ensure there is more freedom in Malaysia. When they are not in power, they scream that there is no freedom in Malaysia.
Okay, why not we do this, why not Anwar Ibrahim and Pakatan Harapan tell us, if they are able to oust Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and his Perikatan Nasional government, which of the bad and unjust laws are they going to abolish? Yes, tell us now instead of grumbling about what the government is doing or not doing.
Masa ada kuasa, tak buat apa-apa. Sekarang ni complain banyak sangat. Sudahlah!
