I've not been posting for some time due to health reasons, but the incorrigibly loose-tongue Raja Petra's article in Malaysia Today and blogger WBhim's reactions here and here, forces my ailing fingers to my computer keyboard. In this article, Raja Petra has urged that our constitutional monarchy be abolished and replaced by a republic.
The point is, Raja Petra has all along been saying things that are detrimental to the country's well-being, yet no action has been taken against him. We have a Minister who only gives warning but no action, and we have a PM who does not seem to have the will to take action.
This is not to criticize the PM and what he has done so far, but keeping silent in the face of our enemies' incessant onslaught does nothing but embolden them to keep up with the offensive until their objectives are met, and until the next general elections. Many, notably Anwar Ibrahim, Raja Petra and the chauvinist DAP (aided sadly and shamelessly by the very people, the Malays, who are supposed to defend our constitutional monarchy) have already crossed the threshold - the line between constructive criticism and sedition/treachery. This Raja Petra's latest statement represents the latest in the seemingly unbroken chain of offensives. And let us not forget the what Anwar has done to our country. Do we have, or want, to wait until the damage becomes irreparable?
We would understand it that the PM has to safeguard the already fragile racial relations, and he must do so in these uncertain times. Worse, he now has to contend with enemies (and issues) within the government and party. But surely he can't allow this to go on unabated.
We the bloggers can only do so much but we are not the power that be. We, and the general populace, still rely on our leaders to do what is necessary to maintain peace and stability in the country. As I had said in many of my previous comments in a few blogs, our country cries for a strong leader with a formidable political will. And we need it now more than ever before.

I've that uneasy sense of foreboding that things are not going to get any better. But don't be mistaken, I'm not anti-establishment. I've supported the BN for over 30 years, since my schooling days. But I, like other peace-loving citizens, don't want to see our beloved country go down in ruin.
And I'm not just talking about 1Malaysia, I'm more concerned about the environment conducive to the fostering of 1Malaysia - peace and stability.

Over to you, DS Najib. Do something!
I hope this issue will catch the eyes of the Prime Minister and the Attorney General, Alizul.
