There are many curses of BN in Malaysia, the most evil of them all is the Internal Security Act (ISA). To comprehend how evil such an act is, I would recommend those who are interested to read the book ‘Two Faces’ written by Dr Syed Husin Ali.
I was utterly shocked to find such a thing could happen to Syed Husin and it does happen and is still happening in Malaysia, a purportedly democratic country. So I will continue to reject BN until such a draconian law is repealed.
In Malaysia, we do not have freedom of speech, one of the most fundamental human rights accorded to us as human beings in the 21st century. Our freedom of speech is curtailed by a multitude of laws, all enacted by BN, namely the Sedition Act, the Universities and University Colleges Act (1971), the Printing Presses and Publication Acts (1984), and the Official Secrets Act.
They are all enacted to prevent each and everyone of us Malaysian citizens from questioning them - the BN ruling elite. So I will continue to reject BN until such laws are amended and repealed to give us back our voices.
Do you know that the BN government has been spending our money in advance since 1998? It's called deficit spending. How? By borrowing money from private financial institutions. Our government’s account balance has been in the red since 1998 meaning that they are owing people money and the debt is getting bigger.
Why? Why are we in the red and where has all the petroleum money from Petronas gone to? When the price of petroleum was in the range of USD$120 per barrel, Petronas earned record high earnings and hence paid record high taxes to BN.
Yet during such time, BN continued to borrow money to run our beloved country. To me, this is a clear indication of public funds mismanagement by BN. If BN can not manage, then somebody else should be given the responsibility. Therefore, I will continue to reject BN until they are out of the office to prevent them from continuing to mismanage Malaysia.
From the recent series of events unfolding, it seems that there are no ‘clean’ politicians who could be found in the BN fold. It seems that all the BN big shots and VIPs have skeletons in their closets. So many scandals, so mamy corruption allegations, and so many instances of abuses of power.
No wonder they have to borrow money to run the country. But how long can this continue? Since I do not want to see my beloved country declare bankruptcy one day like Iceland, I will reject BN until they are out of the office and hope that we would not be too late.
If race relations in Malaysia are tense it would largely be the doing of BN. Fifty-two years of divide and rule policies and ‘them against us’ rhetoric spewed by BN politicians are the ones responsible for the dire situation that we are in today.
They might have the cheek to say that we are living harmoniously together thanks to them but I can see through their lies, especially when they proudly proclaim that many in their fold would not hesitate to ‘bathe their keris in blood or to die defending the their special rights’.
Such hypocrisy! I will continue to reject BN so that they can no longer spew such venom and until they stop propagating hatred.
These are my reasons for rejecting BN and I will continue to reject BN until BN is rejected and ejected from all public office. I will only stop rejecting BN if they have righted all their wrongs listed above that is if they still have the will, the capacity and the integrity to do so.
