Push Harder!

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 shows how desperate the BN/UMNO regime is to stifle 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 it's 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".
