>
>
> 1. They are extending the APs to 2015 ! They are giving themselves
> free money. This is daylight robbery.
> We are talking big bucks, billions from the rakyat (including Malays)
>
> 2. The taxes and duties on cars continue to be high to protect Proton
> but we the public pay through our

>
> 3. Have you noticed that they appoint themselves to high

>
> 4. The Accountant General reported that RM 28B was wasted
> by you know who and for who. These
> figures probably do not involve the highly secretive arms
> contracts which run into another many billions.
>
> 5. Look at the way they snatched the Perak State government.
>
> 6. Look at the way they treated Teoh Beng Hock.
>
> 7. Look at the way they are trying to get Anwar.
>
> 8. Look at the Lingam. No action taken on even after  Royal Commission
> had confirmed his wrong doing.
>
> 9. Look at the PKFZ delaying tactics, get one report after
> another, and then another and if necessary
> another and then only the small fish get caught and hauled

> Not only do we campaign, we must get our friends to get

> What Independence ? On this August 31st, we shall celebrate
> the 52nd anniversary of the British leaving
>  our country. I did not say we are celebrating the 52nd
> anniversary of our independence. This is because
> our people have not enjoyed real liberty, democracy or

> They use the same instruments of oppression as the British

> What Teoh Beng Hock died for?
>
> Malaysians will not know real independence, will
> not be free and will not enjoy democracy unless this oppressive

> lived to help Malaysians in the struggle against corruption and
> oppression. He died so that our struggle can live. He died fighting for justice.
>
> What Justice? Without justice we cannot say we have liberty or
> democracy or equal rights. We cannot say we have liberty or freedom when Tamil
> schools have no tables and chairs.
> When in Sabah and Sarawak , schools have no electricity. A
> child that is illiterate is not free. We cannot say we have democracy or equal rights for
> women, when a Chinese girl with 9A1s cannot enter a university.. A girl without a
> job has no rights. We cannot say we have freedom of choice when a man cannot feed his
> family.
>
> A starving man has no choice. Liberty , democracy and
> freedom are meaningless words when there is no justice. Justice is political liberty.
> Justice is economic independence.
> Justice is equality. There is no political liberty when you
> vote out of fear. There is no
> economic independence when you give your support out of
> fear your son's scholarship
> will be withdrawn or your license will be withdrawn.
>
> There is no freedom of choice when you elect a party out of
> fear for your contract or your business. This is what has been happening in these 52
> years and this will continue
> if we do not act. There will be many more Teoh Beng Hocks
> and many more Port Klang Free Zones if we do not stop them.
>
> What One Malaysia ? Najib says he wants One Malaysia.
> Teoh Beng Hock's death has shocked us back to reality.
> We cannot just listen to rhetoric. We must look at the
> deeds.
>
> When we look, we see what has been done, is a far cry from
> what has been said. The Perak government has been stolen from its people.
> Najib has now declared his intention to grab the Selangor
> government.
>
> The MACC is a tool. It is used to de-stabilize the Pakatan Rakyat
> government. Teoh Beng Hock was interrogated throughout the night.
> He was grilled for buying RM2,400 worth of Malaysian flags.
> No one has been grilled
> when PKFZ loss RM12.6 billion.
>
> The MACC officers are raiding the Pakatan Exco

> they are becoming fixtures. Cars and cows and Malaysian

>
> MACC has not shown the same enthusiasm when it comes to BN
> assemblymen who used up their annual
>  allocation of RM500,000 in 2 months before the general

   The MACC has also not shown any

> There is no investigation into how the former chief

> The people must now decide. There cannot be any fence

> When Teoh Beng Hock was thrown out of the window on 14th

>
> Whether Malaysia will sink or swim is now up to the people.

> Today in Malaysia there is no place for neutrality.
