What correct channels are you talking about, Mr Prime Minister?

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak lately has been giving statements that make no sense to the general public but hailed and echoed by his team of loyalists. What is wrong with the prime minister who is supposed to lead the nation but is allegedly cowed with fear, of himself or for the nation.

No leader would want his dirty linen being washed in the public, hence with the power he holds he will do whatever it takes to ensure the dirty linen is kept under wrapped.

What correct channels are the Prime Minister talking about?

Please be reminded, Mr Prime Minister, that many laws are being used now to curtail critics of the government and now encroaching into the supposing non-censurable Internet.

It is interesting to hear Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak urging the people not to take actions out of the legal boundaries and to use the correct channels to raise any differing views, but did not provide any solution as to how.

When you used laws against critics that are critically emphasised within the legal boundaries, what channels are left open?

Ever since the 1MDB scandal broke out, the rakyat have been wanting to know the truth and more so with allegation that RM4.2 billion from 1MDB were transferred into Prime Minister Najib’s personal accounts.The rakyat have been given all sorts of statements from various ministers and 1MDB with no one correct answer, instead it became more confusing with the US Justice Department’s (DOJ) lawsuit.

Can Prime Minister Najib advise the rakyat which is the correct channel to seek the truth when police reports have been lodged with no response, the attorney-general (AG) closed files, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) stayed mute, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report being neither here nor there and the auditor-general’s report being placed under the Official Secrets Act (OSA)?

Due to substantiated allegations by US DOJ of ‘Malaysia Official 1' alegedly siphoning RM$4.2 billion from 1MDB into Prime Minister Najib’s personal bank accounts, can you, Mr PM, tell us the right channel to find out who is ‘Malaysia Official 1' and if it is true that RM4.2 billion were deposited into your personal accounts?

Over to you, Prime Minister Najib, come clean and tell the whole truth personally, is this the correct channel you are talking about?

Fear of terrorists?

Najib Abdul Razak: “If we were to demonstrate... and suddenly there are disruptions by IS terrorists, what will happen? There will be anarchy,” quoted from The Star.

How can the prime minister talk at the same time that Malaysia practices constitutional democracy, yet actions such as street demonstrations were wrong.? Did he not know that the constitution was born after demonstrations were carried out urging Malaya’s independence from the British?

Why use public rallies as an example that terrorists will strike? You have now the most powerful law in the National Security Council (NSC) Act to fight terrorism as you insist of its need, then why the fear? Are you going to call off the Merdeka day celebration where thousands will be gathered? Cancel all football matches, concerts and functions where large crowd are expected?

Be sensible, Mr Prime Minister, terrorists can strike anywhere and it it your solemn duty to protect the nation and rakyat and not to curtail whatever because you fear the terrorists.

Before you, Mr Prime Minister, blame others of playing politics of hatred, look in the mirror. You requested for constructive alternatives to the government but how are the rakyat going to do so when all doors are closed if any suggestion that are not to your liking? Will you listen to this constructive alternative to the government and that is the urging for you to step down?
