Are we truly free if we're not even accorded the rights of our voice?
What are we actually free from then?

That's why the Rakyat opted for a change.
Let's then take some time to stand up for those who fight and had fought for our rights.

Disgusting evil politicians coercing and pressurizing citizens.

And we have rulers pontificating about constitution, laws, and merdeka - we sure have the supreme 'developed' minds in malaysia.

No understanding of what defines leadership.

This nation has been shortchanged by incapable governance and the undeveloped mind.
(we undoubtedly would have been better off under british administration)

RE-DEFINING MOMENT

What we have is not governance.

Littered with so many thieves, liars and murderers in positions of power, what we have is goonvernance.

Just keep this in mind....if September 16th materializes, the Pakatan government will need the ISA to maintain short-term peace, order and stability, by detaining hundreds of UMNO members, supporters and sympathizers, including their trouble causing lackeys from other BN parties.

Also included in this net should be high ranking civil servants from the police force, judiciary, and other key institutions who can foment immediate instability.

Other than the above, the first act of the Pakatan government should be the corralling of Mahathir and a few of his core supporters to prevent any possibility of a May 13th type race riot exploding in the face of a new Malaysia.

The civil society movements have good intentions, but unfortunately UMNO and their ilk don't share your civilized ways. They are wild animals and should be treated as such.

Does anyone here know the etymology for the word MERDEKA. I know the Malay language has many borrowed words from English, Sankrit, Portuguese, Dutch, Indonesian and indigenous languages of Sabah and Sarawak. So where is MERDEKA from?

If 916 is possible, pakatan must never use ISA against anyone even if it is for a short while. If we do then we are no different from those that we disposed of. This is the dilemma Batman face, this is the same dilemma all good guy face. I'm sure YB Kit would agree.

Forget ISA. Because of recent development, it's become a toothless tiger.

Mark my words... its ACA that is now being used as the corrupt "Gomen" tool against the opposition and its just getting started!

God bless all those who fought for our rights but were unlawfully detained by the government without a fair trial. We hope they will be released soon to rejoin their long awaited families when Pakatan Rakyat forms a new government.
PM appealed for nation's support and loyalty in the face of economic woes and recession. Rakyat did not create all these problems. It is the whole damn fault of the UMNO/BN goons. Filthy arrogant and treat the rakyat like servants/slaves but when they want votes and support they come for help. GO TO HELL!!!

Merdeka ?? That is a laugh ! When the Japanese oppressors took off, and the British colonials went back to Britain, we were free from foreign rule and were independent, yes, but ever since the new UMNO was formed with Maha-Shithead ta the reins of power, we have been ENSLAVED by this despotic DICTATOR, who robbed us of our independent Judiciary, then, used ISA for his own political ends, and the same for OSA, PPPA, and making illegal public assembly to MUZZLE the RAKYAT, while spewing state propaganda and separatist policies and practising racial politics to divide & rule the people of Malaysia.

After 23 plus years of being shackled by Maha-Shithead and now Bodohwi's regimes, how can we "celebrate" Merdeka ?!! We should fly our Jalur Gemilang at HALF MAST to mourn the DEATH of DEMOCRACY in Malaysia !!
