Should
not
the authorities and guardians of the nation's security and peace haul
up former premier Tun Dr. Mahathir for his incessant intimidation and
threats as well as predictions of racial uprisings?
Should
not the global fraternity of peace-loving leaders and citizenry condemn
such individuals of high office who promote divisiveness amongst its
citizenry and threaten with racial clashes instead of bridging the
divides created by ill-conceived administration of bygone times?
If an ordinary working class citizen were to utter
such words it would be tantamount to treason and reason enough to be arrested by the ever so vigilant guardians of the law.
But
for an ex-premier to pit citizens against citizens and monger fear of
uprisings is not only totally uncalled for but should be condemned
outright even by the very political party that he belongs to.
To
threaten that the Malays will clash with the Chinese if Saudara Lim
wins, goes against the very grain of national aspiration and society's
right and duty in ensuring peace and progress. It shatters the very
foundations of justice, peace, harmony and co-existence that is
enshrined in any decent democracy.
In this age where humanity is making every attempt to converge society - irrespective of race, colour
and creed, here is one
man who once rode the highways of international red carpets resorting
to prescribing and sowing racial enmity for and amongst its citizenry.
Not
only must Malaysians condemn this man for his notoriety, but the world of concerned citizenry and its principle centred leaders including vanguards of universal peace and harmony must take offence to the Tun's evil agenda and desires.
Malaysians
prayerfully await a global reaction to this impudent disposition of a
former leader as the local law enforcers and guardians of nationhood
choose to look to the contrary while the main stream media will see no
evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.
As the saying goes, a stitch in time saves nine, please we pray let not this man's evil be realised first before the bloodshed is mopped up.
