Anak Tun Dr Mahathir sokong Perhimpunan BERSIH


"Marina Tun Dr Mahathir hari ini mengecam tindakan kerajaan terhadap penyokong Perhimpunan BERSIH. Marina berkata tindakan yang dilakukan oleh kerajaan sekarang ini umpama para diktator dari dunia ketiga. Demikian dilaporkan oleh akhbar portal Free Malaysia Today.

Dr M’s daughter slams crackdown.
July 4, 2011.

Marina Mahathir says the action taken by the authorities was similar to that used by third-world dictators.

Marina Mahathir, the daughter of former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad – who had little tolerance for dissenting voices – criticised the clampdown on Bersih 2.0 supporters.

“Only those in fear would resort to such things… we are behaving like a third world country or less,” she told a packed press conference here, flanked by several representatives from Bersih. More than 150 people were detained, mostly for wearing yellow T- shirts with the word “Bersih” in connection with the polls watchdog’s planned rally on July 9.

Opposition leaders, some of whom had been hauled up for questioning for backing Bersih’s call for a rally to demand electoral reforms, said the mass arrests was one of the harshest crackdowns in the country’s political history.

Marina said the government’s crackdown was not reflective of Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s efforts to transform Malaysia into a developed country. “We are a developing country, we should behave like one and rise above (all this) and have some faith in our people,” she said.

Marina also condemned the personal attacks on Bersih chairperson S Ambiga, whom she praised for having an excellent track record in fighting for human rights.

“The personal attacks are unwarranted. They should use better arguments to resolve the issue and not resort to personal attacks,” she said. Najib had called Ambiga, the former Bar Council president, a stooge of Pakatan Rakyat. Marina’s stand on this issue ran contrary to her father’s position.

The latter had echoed Najib’s accusation that the planned rally was not to demand electoral reforms but to create another “political tsunami” to wrest power. At the press conference today, Bersih representatives denied that the rally had any hidden political agendas and reiterated that it would be peaceful.

They also called on the authorities to find an amicable solution without calling off the rally.

    correct this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
    With thanks!

  2. First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I've had a
    difficult time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to
    15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.
    Any suggestions or hints? Cheers!
