The Pakatan Harapan bluff: Democracy does not mean rights, freedom and civil liberties

And, in Malaysia, the Chinese are the minority while the Bumiputera are the majority. Hence the majority decides what the Chinese can and cannot do and what the Chinese can and cannot say. Freedom, rights and civil liberties cannot override majority rule. If not, then those of us who support Perikatan Nasional and who DID NOT vote for Pakatan Harapan need not follow laws that the Pakatan Harapan government passed in Parliament, or vice versa.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Pakatan Harapan keeps talking about democracy and about the so-called “people’s mandate” that, kononnya, the Perikatan Nasional government “stole”.

Actually, that is all just a big scam. They are trying to confuse Malaysians regarding what democracy really means.

Democracy merely means the rule or the decisions of the majority.

For example, if two out of three people want to eat pork and one wants to eat beef, then the one who wants to eat beef must follow the other two and eat pork.

What about your rights, your freedom of choice, your freedom of belief and your civil liberties?

In a democracy if the majority decides all women must dress like this then all women must dress like this

Once you have agreed that the three of you will decide something (or vote) based on democracy, and that the majority will rule, while the minority must follow the majority rule, then you no longer have freedom of choice. If the majority decides on pork, then, as agreed, you cannot choose beef but must eat pork.

Let’s say the majority decides if you drink wine you will be arrested and will be sent to jail. Then if you drink wine you will be arrested and will be sent to jail.

If the majority decides if you drink Coke you will NOT be arrested and will NOT be sent to jail. Then if you drink Coke you will NOT be arrested and will NOT be sent to jail.

In the UK, the democratic government says Muslims can drink even if the Qur’an and the minority says the opposite

But the doctor might tell you that two or three glasses of wine a day will NOT kill you while two or three bottles of Coke a day WILL kill you. And by the age of 70, because you drink two or three bottles of Coke a day, you get diabetes and now have to get your legs amputated — but if you had drunk wine instead you would have been okay.

But the majority says drinking wine is a crime while drinking Coke is not. And, because you had agreed on democracy, you cannot drink wine, you can only drink Coke — because the majority says so and in a democracy the majority rules.

If the majority says all sign-boards must have Jawi, then all sign-boards must have Jawi. That is democracy where majority rules. There is no freedom and civil liberties in a democracy. In a democracy majority rules.

If the majority says all sign-boards must NOT have Chinese characters, then all sign-boards must NOT have Chinese characters. That is democracy where majority rules. There is no freedom and civil liberties in a democracy. In a democracy majority rules.

In democratic Malaysia, homosexuality is a crime and is NOT your freedom, right or civil liberty because the majority says so

Yes, Pakatan Harapan is not telling you this. They are lying to you and are pretending that democracy, majority rule, rights, freedom, and civil liberties, are all the same. They are NOT the same.

Indonesia is a democracy. And when the Indonesian majority says all Chinese cannot have Chinese names but must have Indonesian names, then Wong King Kong has to be named Hernanto Ludirdja. That is democracy where majority rules and the minority have no rights, freedom and civil liberties but must follow the majority.

The Chinese forget they are the minority in Malaysia

If the majority says you cannot board an aircraft in London and shout “Allah Akbar!” or else you will get arrested, then you cannot board an aircraft in London and shout “Allah Akbar!” And if you do not believe me, then try shouting “Allah Akbar!” the next time you board an aircraft in London and see what will happen to you.

And, in Malaysia, the Chinese are the minority while the Bumiputera are the majority. Hence the majority decides what the Chinese can and cannot do and what the Chinese can and cannot say. Freedom, rights and civil liberties cannot override majority rule. If not, then those of us who support Perikatan Nasional and who DID NOT vote for Pakatan Harapan need not follow laws that the Pakatan Harapan government passed in Parliament, or vice versa.
