MAHATHIR’s AGENDA IN BADAWI”S DOWNFALL

MAHATHIR’s AGENDA IN BADAWI"S DOWNFALL

This is the victory of the people who made an informed decision against long-standing corruption and tyranny in this nation. We needed a figurehead like Anwar Ibrahim to unite the parties, but it was the people who made that smart choice – a quantum leap of sorts – to vote for change. The BN’s shocking defeat is a big slap on the face for Badawi and his present tenure is shaky to say the least. Unseen forces within UMNO are bound to play it out in the next few months to unseat him from the reins of power.

If Pak Lah resign, Najib will step up and it will then be back to old-style cronyism and nepotism; and worse, Mahathir;s dictatorial era will be back again to haunt us. Najib is very much worse and is a cold blooded person…Tunku Razaleigh once said Najib is neither friend of Malay, nor Chinese or Indian Not even the faraway Mongols either. Altantuuya had proven that to us in broken bits and pieces.

Remember, if Badawi is forced out, Najib will take over. This is Mahathir’s agenda, and it is the agenda of old Umno guards who irreparably corrupted this nation in the first place. And we all know what Najib stands for…Altantuuya, multimillion (whopping $500m to be exact) defense contract fees and what not and getting away with murder for all that.

Mahathir purposely held a Press Conference to push his own selfish agenda (he thinks and acts like he is still the Prime Minister in charge!), and by proxy, to pave the ground for Mukhriz’s ascension to power. Standing next in line to Najib. But foremost, he would want Najib to take over from Badawi. When he does, we can forget about Altantuuya and the RCI into the heinous VK Lingam tape scandal. And it will be a return to strong-arm rule all over again for Bolehland citizens. We are not supposed to allow that to happen. That’s why we voted in the BR to change all that.
People, do not forget that during Mahathir’s reign, every scandal that dogs this godforsaken land were kept tightly under wraps in absolute secrecy and there were no lack of convenient bogeymen to take the flak. That’s Mahathir in action.

It wasn’t Mahathir who stomped the country for change. It was Anwar.

To pre empt Mahathir making a comeback the back-door way, we need to install Anwar back into Parliament. To do that, Badawi must show magnanimity to his arch-foe of yore. He must befriend his old enemy to beat off a bigger threat from Mahathir and Najib. The tide has changed somewhat and it’s going to be tougher than it seems on the surface.

Many will see this election’s results as a vindication for the BR, but other disgruntled Umno members like hidden-agenda Mahathir, watch-and-wait Najib (and impatient Khairy) will see this as an opportunity to grab power and the booty that comes along. The next few months will see Mahathir staging a "hidden-dragon" coup to oust Badawi from the hotseat. Najib will bide his time before his next move, meanwhile, smiling behind our backs like the "crouching tiger." Just watch and see.

Pak Lah, to redeem himself from the GE12 debacle, now only needs to do two things foremost.

The first thing Abdullah Badawi needs to do is to clean up the mess of a corrupt judiciary and the sycophantic media of the old guard dating back to the 80s.

Corruption will always exist, but the judiciary and the media in any democracy acts as the first and last line of defence watchdog. Instead, we have had lapdogs barking against the voices of the people for too long. The shocking mediocrity of the mainstream media is pathetic. The corruption of the judiciary is endemic. Both already rotten to the core and beyond repair. A complete overhaul of the rot and decay is not out of place. They still have not come to grips with the new political landscape yet.

It is important that members of the old guard from Mahathir’s era are not allowed to worm back in. We should start from a clean slate. Such a move per se will checkmate any of Mahathir’s hidden agenda plans, post-GE12. It is in the national interest that Badawi do just that.

He will save the people of this country the heartache and pain they went through under Mahathir’s wretched rule.

Bring back the RULE OF LAW (the JUDICIARY) and FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION (abrogate and repeal the archaic and repressive press laws). A win-win to himself and to us, the ordinary citizens. A saving grace in his political swan-song. God Blesshim. God Bless us all. Amen.

Panel 4

Action Plan

 

To conduct this strategy, the cooperation from the society and government are mostly needed. During the first phase, the government must have the responsibility to provide a comfortable environment to the public to counter with this problem.  In this context, our government will need to declare Gurney Hawker Center as a tourism spot. It will be reasonable when the government announced the news through mass media to increase the public awareness regarding to the problem.  In this context, the government must have a regulation system towards this tourism spot. For this reason, there are four categories suggested, before the hawker center is given the title as the tourism spot, bellow are four targets which must be done in the place:

 

              I.      Standardized  cleanliness and neatness

           II.      The security of  visitors

         III.      The convenience appliance, for example toilet, lighting and water etc.

        IV.      The convenience for common transportation, parking spaces, buses service and etc.

 

In this case, there aren’t any problems in Gurney to meet the standard for the III and IV criteria. However, there are some instances with evidence and supports from the public which must given attention in order to guarantee the first and second criteria can be commenced in Gurney hawker center when it is declare as a tourism spot. First, our investigation result had shown some relevant evident, there are many beggars and pirated disc (CD/DVD) sellers which had risen the problem where they had caused the visitors to feel uncomfortable. In order to attract the customers attention, the had increased the music volume and even opening their stall in the middle of the hawker center as if they are doing a proper business.

           

Therefore, the step that should be conducted by the government to make sure the security system is in a comfortable standard for the visitors are in a maximum stage. First, on the place must build border line on wall or blocks. With the borders, safety of the visitors will be secured.  Secondly, after the border lines are build, only one side of the hawker center can be used as the entrance and exit.  Thirdly, a security guard house is needed in order for the local government to place an officer to carry out their duty. By this way, the security activity will be more efficient.  On the other hand, placement of an officer can be seen as a preventing mechanism. This is because the beggars and the others illegal sellers will feel fear to conduct their activity with the presence of the enforcement officer.

 

Besides that, a restriction sign should be put on to restrict any beggars or illegal selling in the concerning area. It must place in a place which can be seen easily by everyone. If there are still beggars or illegal sellers, even the visitors will notice that it is against the law.  Therefore, they are able to report to the officer or the authority. In this case, the hawkers must be told the relevant contacts that they can call. For visitors, the telephone number should be placed on the sign board which is easily seen by them.

 

If all the parties such as, The government, the hawkers and our visitors plays their own role just as stated above, then the comfortable environment for the visitors could optimized their daily business smoothly if the problems above are done.

 

However there are some deferent reactions from both the government and the public based on the researched conducted.  According to our investigation, the parties that had supported us and disagree with the suggested solution are the following：

 

Pro （supporting ）

contra ( Do not Agree)

The local authority, (MPPP) -         Through this way, they will bring to increased of economy activities. Besides, by declaring the Gurney hawker center will help in prompting Penang Tourism Industry again. The visitors -They feel more comfortable enjoying their meal and the nice environment without the disturbance of the beggars and pirated disc seller. The hawker  - They will be able to guarantee their customer a satisfied meal without any disturbance of hygienic problem.

The beggars -         They will has less income opportunity 2. Pirated disc seller - It will be difficult for them to conduct their activity there. 3. The state Government - As they might need to spend some money on building the facilities suggested.

           

            In conclusion, although there are different reactions from the various parties, to ensure the visitors’ satisfaction and public safety and the smoothness for the business of the local hawkers the act will be crucial in helping the growing of our tourism Industrial economy. Therefore, the cost of construction and carrying out the plan shouldn’t be a cause to stop the action to be taken as soon as possible. This is because every annum, the hawkers are paying for the taxation which contributes to part of the local government income.  Therefore it had been a responsibility of our government to carry out the responsibility to provide not only facilities but also providing a comfortable environment for the businesses in this tourism spot.

POLICY OF DECLARING GURNEY HAWKER CENTER

 

 AS A TOURISM SPOT

 

            This policy is the best among all the policies in order to solve the direct approaches problem at Gurney. This policy implies that Gurney Hawker Center will be declared as a tourism spot as almost more than 70% of the customers are tourists, like any other tourism spot such as A’ Famosa in Malacca. In this way, approaches like direct selling, selling pirated discs and begging would be forbidden. Thus, more attention would be given to the hawker center by the governments as it is an important place for the attraction of tourists. They will make sure Gurney is a clean, comfortable place for tourists and the locals to go and chill out. This is because the government will probably would not want to let the tourists and the locals feel threaten and uncomfortable when they pay a visit at Gurney because of the direct approaches.

 

            However, this policy also has problems. Expenditure is required in order to accomplish this policy. The government will need to spend quite large amount of money for the maintenance of Gurney. In other words, the government has to ensure Gurney will always be clean and comfortable. Furthermore, manpower will also be needed in order to maintain Gurney. The police will have to always ensure Gurney is free of the beggars, pirated discs sellers and direct salesmen.

 

            This policy does not cause any violation to the laws of Malaysia, the state constitution and the federal constitution. This is because this policy does not discriminate any race, religion, origin and the gender of an individual. This policy also does not violate the human rights of our country.

 

            Lastly, this federal government is responsible in executing this policy. This is because Gurney which will be declared as tourism spot would be standardized like other tourism spots in terms of fulfilling the criteria of declaring tourism spot.
