WHY Barisan Nasional's TWO-THIRD (2/3) MAJORITY MUST BE DENIED by MALAYSIANS

So what has 50 years of BN's 2/3 majority given us?

1. Federal Constitution Amended 690 Times !!!

The Malaysian Constitution has been amended some 690 times. The USA has been in existence for more than 200 years and their constitution was only amended 27 times.

The Constitution is amended for matters as trivial as extending the term of office of the Elections Commission officers, simply to avoid facing rejection by the Agung.

2. Weakening of Judiciary and Legislature

Because of the overwhelming power available to the Executive, the Legislature has been reduced to a rubber stamp, the Judiciary has been emasculated and corrupted and the powers of the Agung have been clipped.

The legal system is a sad joke, serving only further the desires of the ruling clique.

3. Biased Elections Commission

The Elections Commission serves only to ENSURE that the ruling clique is returned to power.

Look at the statistics……

In the last (2004) election, Barisan Nasional received only 63.8% of the popular votes but has 91% of all parliamentary seats. All due to gerrymandering, phantom votes, , voter relocation, voter substitution… there are even suspicions of ballot box stuffing.

UMNO received 35.9% of the popular votes, has 50% of the parliamentary seats and holds 71% of the ministerial positions.

4. Worthless Partners of UMNO in the Coalition

The other members of the coalition have been reduced to running dogs,, wagging their tails and begging for scraps.

5. The Rise of UMNO's Little Napoleons

Little Napoleons have been allowed to run rife and the rights of non-Malay, non-Muslim communities have been trampled upon.. The Wakil Rakyat does nothing even when constitutional amendments threatening these rights are proposed.

It is left to the opposition members to highlight these alarming matters and try to prevent total steamrolling.

6. Hard-core Poverty of Malays NOT Addressed while UMNO Cronies Being Enriched by Exploiting NEP

Meanwhile, it’s not like the rights of all Malays are really being addressed. Claims of hard-core poverty among rural Malays indicate that wealth distribution is not making real headway.

Under the umbrella of the NEP, wealthy UMNO leaders continue to steal the wealth , feeding pittance to the rakyat. And the Malays are being deprived of the ability to compete and gain new skills.

Under the aegis of the NEP, incompetent people (skilled in politicking) are given promotions while capable people are being deprived of the opportunity to lead. Major national corporations and companies are blundering from error to error. We have lost our competitive edge in practically every field.
