Forum on “Fascist Tendency of UMNO Regime” - Why do we hold the Forum?

Forum on “Fascist Tendency of UMNO Regime”
Why do we hold the Forum?
18th September 2010

Since independence, Malaysia has been under the absolute control of Barisan National (formerly known as ‘Perikatan’ – the Alliance Party). Under the regime of UMNO-led coalition, however, the income disparity between the rich and the poor in this country has been widening, while abuse of power and corruption are rampant. The living conditions of the working people are getting from bad to worse. Social conflicts are escalating at an unprecedented speed.
After suffering for half a century under the regime, of late, the people are crying form reform. The clarion calls for reform by the people from all walks of life are loud and clear, strong and resolute. They constitute a destructive force against the UMNO’s power base. In the last general election held in 2008, UMNO-led BN suffered stunning defeat. It lost 5 states to the opposition, and it also lost its 2/3 majority in Parliament, though it retained its power in the federal government.

The ignominious defeat of the ruling coalition led to factional disputes within the party. It culminated in the transfer of power from Abdullah Badawi to Najib Razak. The new prime minister Najib hypes about “1Malaysia” and “People First, Performance Now”, but at the same time he mobilizes all types of state machinery, and spares no effort to suppress the popular calls for reform, with a view to propping up the tottering regime.

The Working Committee of FOS Johor together with Persahabatan Semparuthi, an Indian community- based NGO, jointly organised a forum titled “Constitutional Crisis In Malaysia – Why 2 Menteri Besars in Perak” on 15 May 2010 in Johor Bahru. Zaid Ibrahim, the former Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, who was one of the speakers in the forum, openly made a novel and significant point that Malaysia is emerging as a fascist state. He denounced UMNO’s racist tyranny.

He opined that a fascist state is a form of autocratic rule, resorting to threats of violence and culture of fear, in order to implement its reactionary and chauvinistic policy. He contended that the “1 Malaysia” slogan introduced by Najib is all but a ruse, and anyone who opposes “1 Malaysia” is regarded as a subversive element, to be suppressed and eliminated. (Please refer http://suaramjb1.blogspot.com/2010/05/quest-for-justice-zaid-ibrahim-1.html)

Zaid is an Exco member in the Supreme Council of Parti Keadilan Rakyat. His argument had a significant impact on Parti Keadilan Rakyat. In the August issue of Suara Keadilan, the Malay edition of PKR’s party organ, the chief editor Dzulkarnain Taib wrote an article titled “Is Malaysia Heading Towards a State under the Iron-fisted Rule?”.

He argued that the Najib’s administration is heading towards fascism, based on the 7 characteristics of a fascist regime as enunciated by Laurence W. Britt. The 7 characteristics of a fascist regime are as follows:

1. Propagating racism under the guise of promoting patriotism – as evidenced by the support given to Perkasa that advocates narrow nationalism.
2. Denial of human rights and showing disdain for them – e.g. justifying the violation of human rights by way of resorting to ISA which allows for detention without trial.
3. Control of mass media – e.g. the suspending of the licence for publication of the opposition parties’ party organs.
4. Abuse of administrative and judicial institutions as well as enforcement units under the pretext of preserving national security.
5. Furthering the interests of cronies and their corporations - e.g. massive bailout of crony companies.
6. Rampant nepotism and corruption – e.g. showing total disregard for transparency when awarding contracts.
7. Manipulating the electoral system, exercising control over the election machinery, intimidating voters (who support the opposition), just to ensure that the ruling clique remains in power – e.g. by way of manipulating the Election Commission.

Is BN government under Najib heading towards fascism? How should we respond to such fascist tendency? Where lies our future? Every one of us has to give this a serious thought.

The Working Committee of FOS Johor is a mass-based support group for Suaram pioneering human rights activities in the State of Johor. It was formed on 9 September 2001 by a group of human rights activists, former Labour Party members, ex-political detainees, former trade unionists, Chinese educationists, and youths. They are for democracy and human rights, and against all forms of racism.

In conjunction with the 9th anniversary of the FOS (Friends of Suaram), we are holding a forum on the current development of human rights and democratic movement in our country. There will be a dinner after the forum in commemoration of our anniversary.

We have invited 3 well-known political leaders to explore the issue of the fascist tendency of the UMNO-led BN government. They are Mursyidul Am of Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) Tuan Guru Dato’ Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat or representative appointed by PAS, Secretary-General of Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM) Mr. S.Arutchelvan or representative appointed by PSM and Chairman of the Central Policy and Strategic Planning Commission Democratic Action Party (DAP) YB. Lim Kit Siang or representative appointed by DAP. The forum will be conducted in Bahasa or Mandarin (at the convenience of the panelists). Translations will be provided. Dinner will be served after the forum. Details of the programme are as follows:

[ 漫画新解 ]
新冠病毒疫情下的马来西亚
舔美精神患者的状态

年轻一辈人民之友有感而作


注:这“漫画新解”是反映一名自诩“智慧高人一等”而且“精于民主理论”的老姐又再突发奇想地运用她所学会的一丁点“颜色革命”理论和伎俩来征服人民之友队伍里的学弟学妹们的心理状态——她在10多年前曾在队伍里因时时表现自己是超群精英,事事都要别人服从她的意愿而人人“惊而远之”,她因此而被挤出队伍近10年之久。

她在三年前被一名年长工委推介,重新加入人民之友队伍。可是,就在今年年初她又再故态复萌,尤其是在3月以来,不断利用部落格的贴文,任意扭曲而胡说八道。起初,还以“不同意见者”的姿态出现,以博取一些不明就里的队友对她的同情和支持,后来,她发现了她的欺骗伎俩无法得逞之后,索性撤下了假面具,对人民之友一贯的“反对霸权主义、反对种族主义”的政治立场,发出歇斯底里的叫嚣,而暴露她设想人民之友“改旗易帜”的真面目!

尤其是在新冠病毒疫情(COVID-19)课题上,她公然猖狂跟人民之友的政治立场对着干,指责人民之友服务于中国文宣或大中华,是 “中国海外统治部”、“中华小红卫兵”等等等等。她甚至通过强硬粗暴手段擅自把我们的WhatsApp群组名称“Sahabat Rakyat Malaysia”改为“吐槽美国样衰俱乐部”这样的无耻行动也做得出来。她的这种种露骨的表现足以说明了她是一名赤裸裸的“反中仇华”份子。

其实,在我们年轻队友看来,这名嘲讽我们“浪费了20年青春”[人民之友成立至今近20年(2001-9-9迄今)]并想要“拯救我们年轻工委”的这位“徐大姐”,她的思想依然停留在20年前的上个世纪。她初始或许是不自觉接受了“西方民主”和“颜色革命”思想的培养,而如今却是自觉地为维护美国的全球霸权统治而与反对美国霸权支配全球的中国人民和全世界各国(包括马来西亚)人民为敌。她是那么狂妄自大,却是多么幼稚可笑啊!

她所说的“你们浪费了20年青春”正好送回给她和她的跟班,让他们把她的这句话吞到自己的肚子里去!

"公知"及其跟班的精神面貌

注:这“漫画新解”是与<人民之友>4月24日转贴的美国政客叫嚣“围剿中国”煽动颠覆各国民间和组织 >(原标题为<当心!爱国队伍里混进了这些奸细……>)这篇文章有关联的。这篇文章作者沈逸所说的“已被欧美政治认同洗脑的‘精神欧美人’”正是马来西亚“公知”及其跟班的精神面貌的另一种写照!

"舔美"狗狗的角色

注:这“漫画新解”是与《察网》4月22日刊林爱玥专栏文章<公知与鲁迅之间 隔着整整一个中国 >这篇文章有关联的,这是由于这篇文章所述说的中国公知,很明显是跟这组漫画所描绘的马来西亚的“舔美”狗狗,有着孪生兄弟姐妹的亲密关系。

欲知其中详情,敬请点击、阅读上述文章内容,再理解、品味以下漫画的含义。这篇文章和漫画贴出后,引起激烈反响,有人竟然对号入座,暴跳如雷且发出恐吓,众多读者纷纷叫好且鼓励加油。编辑部特此接受一名网友建议:在显著的布告栏内贴出,方便网友搜索、浏览,以扩大宣传教育效果。谢谢关注!谢谢鼓励!
