A gentle reminder to our Prime Minister Najib Razak, cabinet members and all the Umno Supreme Council members, and whoever that backs him up who have all colluded with his grand corruption scheme.
.
.
There are 3 things I would like to remind you;
.
.
.
1 - THE INTERNET NEVER FORGETS
.
Once anything gets into the internet. It will stay there forever, doesnt matter how much you try to remove it. Look no further than WikiLeaks, the most powerful nation in the world can't stop them from exposing their secrets day after day until now.
What does this mean?
1.1 - That means that people wont forget that on July 2nd 2015, The Wall Street Journal published an article that reports that money from state-owned funds were credited into his personal accounts.
1.2 - On July 8th 2015, you instructed your lawyer to consider action against WSJ for conspiracy. Nothing happen until today.
1.3 - On July 15th 2015, BN's Abdul Rahman Dahlan came out with a video confession of a former Sarawak Report's editor that Claire-Brown 'tampered' with the documents as part of efforts to topple Najib. The former editor was discredited and nothing happen until today.
1.4 - On July 30th 2015, BN's Ahmad Maslan denies that any money got into Najib's personal bank account.
1.5 - On August 1st 2015, Abdul Rahman Dahlan basically said it's okay for party president to have a 'trust account' on behalf of the party. Thus admitting the money indeed went into Najib's personal account.
1.6 - On August 3rd 2015, MACC that stands for Malaysian ANTI CORRUPTION Commission (oh how ironic) admitted the money inside Najib Razak's account came from donors. Yes, he has RM2,600,000,000 in his personal account. <--- this is ethically and morally wrong!
.
Conclusion:
-Threaten to sue WSJ.
-Blocks Sarawak Report.
-Suspends The Edge
-Dropped MuhyiddinYassin from cabinet.
-BTW the money is from donors!
Rest assured, ALL these will stay in the internet, forever.
Even if you try to curb, block, come out with new laws, etc. to stop the spread of 'harmful' rumours, unwanted news, people will ALWAYS find a way, always.
Just like how you tried to block Sarawak Report's website and how China despite its attempts ultimately couldn't stop its netizens from accessing blocked websites. You cannot stop the internet.
The internet never forgets.

2 - INTERNET PENETRATION IS 66%
.
By 2017 it is estimated there will be 19,187,000 internet users in Malaysia.
What does this mean?
2.1 - It means that over three fifths (62%) of Internet users in Malaysia access social media networks daily. 35% of Internet users in Malaysia reach for their mobile phone before they even get out of bed.
2.2 - Facebook is by far the most popular application with 88% visiting the site weekly. WhatsApp weekly use is at 72%.
2.3 - Smartphone users now account for 51% of the population. That means 1 in 2 Malaysian adults are smartphone users.
2.4 - This means that the age of controlling mainstream medias such as Utusan and Berita Harian NO LONGER WORKS. This means TV1, TV2, and TV3 biased reportings will have very little to no effect on the citizens anymore. Suddenly, there's more than one 'truth' other than defined by the government.
YOU CANT CONTROL NEWS SOURCE ANYMORE!!
2.5 - Now even the atoks and maktoks at kampung also can use whatsapp! News, rumours, gossips, wrongdoings, gory accidents, everything TRAVEL FAST! faster than you can control them.
2.6 - Anyway, Malaysia has become very urbanised with 71 % of the population living in urban areas. There might not be much rural areas voters for BN to rely on anymore.
Voters are now internet savvy and can access news from many sources, which allow them to be BETTER JUDGES of the actions and words of any politician.
.
.
.
3 - THE NEW FRONTIER IS THE YOUNG ADULTS
.
3.1 - 48% of Malaysia’s population are BELOW 28 years old. It is estimated that 2.6 million NEW voters age between 20-25 comes 2018 or the next General Election.
3.2 - There are already >5 million existing young voters registered. Not everyone voted in the last GE.
3.3 - Thanks also to the Internet, Malaysia's Generation Y voters are becoming more politically conscious and are expected to have a bigger say in the outcome of future elections
3.4 - An analysis of the March 2008 general election results shows that many newly-registered voters and those below 30 supported PKR, PAS and DAP candidates. And look at what happened during the last GE. The young voters made their VOICES HEARD.
3.5 - “The younger generation is indeed a MAJOR FACTOR in the recent 13th general election in terms of the way the voting pattern had taken shape.
3.6 - The young voters, who are largely techno-savvy and have access to the Internet, are WELL-INFORMED about, and sensitive to, issues of the day such as social injustice, CORRUPTION, racism etc.”
3.7 - “Many have studied overseas, many are exposed to the events happening in other countries like Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, etc. This has led to an increased sense of awareness and a knowledge of their POWER AS A FORCE OF CHANGE,”
Mustafa says that given the kind of exposure to information from various sources both on and offline, it is unsurprising that many of them have gone BEYOND issues of ethnicity, which still haunts much of the older generation.

.
3.4 - Be careful of the young generations. With the power at their hand, you'll be a fool to constantly angers them. If the past GE13 has shown anything, it showed just how much, the internet, social media, and the youths can come together and reminds our leaders their RESPONSIBILITIES TO SERVE THE PEOPLE!
.
.
p.s - this does not mean the opposition is clean and angelic either. clean up your mess too. but let's leave that to another post.
p.p.s - cant wait for 2018
p.p.p.s - there's this political move called 'GERRYMANDERING' that might mean that even if 60% of registered voters voted for opposition, the BN will still be in power. Read on this.
