We Change Government by Democratic Means.

Dr Mahathir says the HKR112 was designed to topple the elected government. Of course it was but not in the manner that Dr Mahathir meant. The one he is thinking of must be formed from the inextinguishable animosity he has with Anwar. Can anyone even begin to appreciate the loathing Mahathir has for Anwar? The hate must be eating into his 86 year-old physique.

This HKR112 is not about Anwar- we are sorry to disappoint Mahathir. We will not play his game. We will have to just ignore attempts to link this HKR112 with Anwar. Maybe Mahathir is envious because Anwar got to say Merdeka 7 times?

This gathering at stadium Negara isn’t about positioning Anwar as PM but unifying all the forces having the singular aim of replacing BN government. The most important point for all UMNO supporters to take note, whoever becomes the next PM is a Malay. Does UMNO have any objections to a Malay becoming PM?

I have written about Anwar before in not so complimentary terms but I have also said, that if more people believed in him, there is nothing anyone can do about it. Not Mahathir, I or anyone.

Well, we don’t know whether we want to laugh at his statement or otherwise. But we know Dr Mahathir can be a comic in a deadpan way. So everyone together now- ho oho ho. We must not disappoint the punters.

Of course the HKR was meant to unite all the forces that have only one aim. To replace the present corrupt government managing the country with its incompetence. But we want to do it by democratic means. That is why we are gathered at stadium Negara. Not there to express our undying love to Dr Mahathir, much less to Najib and the missus.  But to fortify our resolve and to derive strength by being together.

We want to replace the government that has ruled this country that made 8.7 million Malays lived as beggars in their own country. We gathered to tell Felda settlers that they owned the land which they tilled having paid the debt which the government advances. We gathered to tell Felda settlers that their assets are all now turned into paper assets that are gambled in the stock market. Which means your future are in the hands of a few plutocrats!

The HKR112 represents the people who earned an income of RM1500 per month. We want to replace this government that is leading the economy to fiscal ruin caught up with public debt of up to RM503 billion. Of course we want to change the government that has allowed all those selected individuals, yes the titled ones who have sold RM52billion worth of equity allocated through the NEP.

It is no secret that is the whole objective of the HKR. To fortify the resolve of the majority of Malaysians to evict the temporary tenant at Putarjaya. But we are going to do it through the electoral process. We vote the government out.

That was the purpose of Bersih previously. Among other things, to apply public pressure on SPR to clean the electoral roles. To clean the electoral roles from non-citizens admitted by the government as voters for the coming elections. The people demand the electoral roles be cleaned up so that the voting process is actually and legitimately a one man one vote. This is a simple legitimate request that the independent SPR which is answerable to the Agong must accede to. Unless of course the SPR behaves in a partisan party serving as messenger boy for the present government. If they do that, there will be consequences.

The HKR112 cannot be a congregation of people expressing support and adulation for Najib and his government can it? So we must accept that Dr Mahathir must be hallucinating at the idea of equating the peaceful assembly of people at Stadium Merdeka on 12^th January as something of a gathering like the one that took place at Cairo’s Taharir Square.

But perhaps more important and relevant to Dr Mahathir, HKR112 was an expression of the collective will of the people wanting nothing to do with Dr Mahathir any longer. 22 years of Mahathir and 55 years of UMNO are enough.
