Today's mainstream papers reported virtually nothing compared to even foreign news feeds.........UMNO has lost its grassroots and by default its relevance.......
Information.....which is the blood that runs through political veins comes now through another source ......the internet...as evidenced by the well organised massive protest on KL's streets. The Sultans and the Agong, powers of the throne, long before UMNO or any other political party existed, instinctively realised that they must listen to the people. By contrast the BN and UMNO ignored this fact with blissful arrogance and continue to live in ice castles fast melting and waiting to be swept away into the dustbin of history....
Political change in Malaysia is nigh ....but it will come with a stronger check and balance. The Sultans have been the unheralded heroes to save its peoples in this hour of need from an executive comprising of corrupted, murderous and greedy politicians. We have to thank our forefathers and maybe even the British who kept the Monarchy relevant to everyday political life in Malaysia.
The people must remember the 10th of November. The day the Agong stood up for his people when they were being beaten with batons, blasted by water cannons and tear gassed.
Long live the MONARCHY!!!!
im not quite sure whether i agree with what ur saying abt the relevance of the monarchy system.u seem to be assuming that the royalty are indefinitely bounded to the rights of 'the people'.who justifies that assumption?it doesnt change the fact that the ones in power(be in it in BN/umno/opposition party/sultans)are merely generalizing the /malaysian's(whoever they are,wherever they are) interest?hmm..
dammit my first comment tak lalu
anyway
i wanted to say, check out reports from Bernama as well. our national news agency doing a fabulous job toeing the line!
harakah, aljazeerah and mkini has good coverage.
in my perfect little world i'd say "whatever" but because I'm not ignorant enough for that I'd say "damn it! someone needs to elect a new elections commission. one where they are not skewed and easily bribed."
