COMMENT | When people act like a bully and resort to threats of violence, it results in lawlessness.
of the Dong Zong gathering is an insult to the country's constitution and sets an unhealthy precedent that supplants the rule of law by the rule of threats.But what do you call a country that is not a"failed state" but allows the majority race to bully others, including dissenters of its own race?When people act like a bully and resort to threats of violence, it results in lawlessness.
Did Bersih 5 create chaos then? It did not like many other demonised gatherings. It is a lame excuse for banning a legitimate and peaceful meeting. It is a classic case of double standards and politicising valid public concerns. When will the government send out a strong message it will have zero tolerance of those who resort to overt threats or innuendos of physical violence?
The government then did not bat an eyelid let alone come out to openly protect those terrorised by jailing the culprits who had broken the law.Which religion teaches its followers to coerce and threaten others? That Dong Zong was forced to abort its planned meeting is a sad day for democracy and the freedom and rights of the minorities in Malaysia.
