Democracy is DEAD in Malaysia

"Speaker restrained from convening ‘State Assembly meetings’","‘Emergency meet not valid’","Nazri labels Sivakumar a ‘boy speaker’ ". All these dominated the headlines today, and today Perak folks have an "appointed" government rather than "elected" government.

It's such a childish manner to lock up the state secreteriat, with several (about 200) police and FRU manning the building. They were equipped with tear gas and water cannons. No wonder we are going to be stripped of our membership in the UN Security Council. The police and FRU thought that PR lawmakers will force themselves into the state secretariat, thus paving the way for them to "FIRE IN THE HOLE" with their tear gas and water cannons.

We too have kangaroo courts and kangaroo judges. The High Court has granted an order to indefinitely restrain Perak State Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar from convening any unlawful meetings purported to be State Assembly meetings. What a mockery of the judiciary system? Article 72(1) of the Federal Constitution states that The validity of any proceedings in the Legislative Assembly of any State shall not be questioned in any court.

No wonder we are still the same after FIFTY-TWO years of independence.
