Oh dear, I guess you can’t please everyone.

“BN Partyman” sent in this comment, which contains a none-too-subtle threat.

Dear Anil,

Your biased live coverage of the PP buy-election was disgusting to say the least. It seemed like the Barisan Nasional was non-existent in PP. The fact that more than 15,000 people voted for Arif Shah is testimony to BN’s popularity. If it were not for the rough house tactics of the PKR goons, more legitimate voters would have made it to the polling stations. You and your ilk ought to be detained under the ISA and the keys thrown away.

You are partisan, unfair, biased, and a false witness to the events in PP. Like the 31,000 odd who voted for Anwar, you are ungrateful for the development and progress wrought by the BN. Honestly ask yourself: Would you even own a laptop or even know how to use the Internet if not for the education that the BN gave you? Just like the other bloggers and commentators on the blogsites, you bite the hand that feeds you. You are despicable and so is Raja Petra and the likes of him.

When the BN government finally wipes out the Opposition from the face of this Earth, we’ll be coming after you and all of your ilk for the lies and ridiculous untrue propaganda that you spread to the innocent rakyat. Unfortunately it seems now that a large minority of the rakyat are stupid enough to pay attention to the lies of the Opposition. The BN will educate them very soon and I assure you it will be a painful lesson indeed.

BN Sakthi!!!

Perhaps this should be seen in the context of the following excerpt from a 14 August news report from Al Jazeera:

‘Irresponsible media’

“In the name of freedom, these websites allow the broadcast of slander, lies and swearing, the use of harsh, degrading language and racial slurs without regard for the reader or those concerned”

Najib Abdul Razak, Malaysian deputy prime minister

On Tuesday Malaysia’s de facto law minister, Mohd Nazri Aziz, warned that it was “time to act” against what the government considers to be irresponsible or inflamatory blogging.
Speaking in Malaysia’s parliament he said preventive detention laws could be used against bloggers who raise issues the government considers as being sensitive to Malaysia’s multi-ethnic, multi-religious population.
His comments were echoed by Najib Abdul Razak, the Malaysian deputy prime minister, who told a gathering of the Malaysian Press Institute on Tuesday evening that the government was deeply troubled by the growth of what he called “irresponsible” alternative media.
He said bloggers needed to exercise moderation in postings which discuss race and religion or risk official action.
Webmasters and web journalists, he said, are not exempted from Malaysian laws.
“In the name of freedom, these websites allow the broadcast of slander, lies and swearing, the use of harsh, degrading language and racial slurs without regard for the reader or those concerned,” the New Straits Times quoted him as saying.
“Even though the government has been tolerant of anti-government positions and criticisms on the Internet, we are very concerned about statements that insult religion and reek of racism,” he added.
The warning comes amid increasingly frank discussions on the internet of such hot-topic issues as Malaysia’s status as an Islamic state, allegedly unjust policies and political corruption.

  2. Dear BN Sakthi,

    To start with this is a democratic country and we are free to choose who we want to support. While you can sing praises for BN, nobody is stopping you. You can even start a pro-BN blog if you want to since so far apart from the actual BN people, I can’t seem to find many blogsites that have anything commendable to say about the current Federal Government.

    Most of us have given up on the local MSM as we are sick of the biasness and the pretty picture they tend to report about BN. Take the buy election yesterday, while it was such a hot topic, I could not see any of the local TV channels doing live reporting on the events at all until at the very last minute which did not really matter anymore since we already knew the results. So much for ‘news reporting’, huh?’ We had to rely on either Malaysiakini, Anil and a few more other bloggers who were there to pick up on the updates.

    Is it because BN was trailing miserably behind? If the tables were turned and it was the other way round, I would have bet with my last Ringgit Malaysia that the local MSM would gladly have given us first hand news!

    I couldnt help but laughed at the last sentence from you.

    “When BN government finally wipes out the Opposition from the face of this earth” ….

    You and your blind delusional BN supporters are just like KJ. Look at what he said earlier about burying DSAI?

    So who’s burying who exactly?

    Wake up and face the reality!

  5. Don’t worry anil, the people is fully behind you. “when BN finally wipe out opposition” what joke is this. The BN is still clearly underestimating the people power, they are still trying to intimidate and staying true to their old school politics, i have to thanks the PP voters for their timely reminder to the BN that WE THE RAKYAT OF MALAYSIA IS UNITED AGAINST BN & WE REJECT THIS CORRUPT AND POWER CRAZY BN government. Come another election, BN will be completely wipe out.

  6. Ha!Ha!
    Do we owe BN our livelhood? Whose money did the BN use for devlopment? From UMNO, MCA or MIC’s pockets?
    Maybe this guy simply do not understand the fuctions of an elected government. The gocernment is not exlusively BN’s. It can be pAS next or PKR .
    Hey ! We do not owe a singkle cent to BN. In fact BN cromies owe us for the vast amount of wealth accumulated by themselves, siblings or in laws.
    Anil, fear no evil because you are in the LIGHT.
    IF GOD IS WITH YOU, NO ONE CAN BE AGAINST YOU.
    Treat this guy as some sort of ignorant and poor lost soul.

  7. Just adding to the chorus. I like especially the term, “buy-election”. Frankly I don’t think that it was a Freudian slip. BNpartyman must have really thought all along that was how it was. Ya, funny how this time they couldn’t buy this election. Or how about bye-election(?), as in bye-bye BN?

  12. Dear Anil,

    I hope you don’t mind, I took the liberty to extract from your blog the letter sent by BN Sahthi and pasted in YB LKS’s blog.
    I like to expose this typical UMNO extremist…after 51 years of Merdeka we still have to put up with this sort of despicable character.

  15. gah,
    nonsense and fiddlesticks.
    now that the rakyat are seriously putting their rights to use and uniting against what we believe is gross incompetence, negligence and injustice on the government’s part, not only do you refuse to acknowledge your shortcomings but you threaten us as well? Goodness. What the world is coming to, I really do not know.

    Kudos to the likes of Anil Netto, RPK and ‘all of their ilk’ for telling it like it is despite threats from people wanting to ‘wipe them of the face of the earth’. and how exactly are you planning to do that, pray tell, BN partyman? Using C4 to bomb us all into oblivion? seems like some people are really, really childish and will resort to do ‘anything’ just to get their way. tsk tsk tsk. I think you yourself need some ‘education’ in ethics, consideration and manners lar. Maybe you can ask BN to sponsor you to some nice finishing school in Europe? Then perhaps, when you’re more ethical, really considerate about the rakyat and passionate about our cause, and of course, more courteous, we might consider voting for you all again. But definitely not in the very near future :) So for now, maybe you can sit in a corner and sulk cos things are going to take a very very different turn from no on. You better learn to accept the new and learn to adapt to it as well my dear, dear BN partyman. However, don’t despair lar. I’m sure you have some (funds) stashed away somewhere that you can use for retail therapy. Go get yourself a new laptop or something.

  17. BN party man or whatever u wanna call ur self. Only desperate people issue a stupid threat like that.

    I dont owe you or the BN government for my education. I will only thank my parents and my teachers for my education not u. It’s a responsibility of every government in the world to provide that. Typical BN if people dont agree with them they will label you with all sort of names, stupid, … u name it. Maybe they still think that we still live in medieval time.

    You should be thankful and grateful to the rakyat for putting u in power. While you still have the power, why don’t you do something good for the rakyat. Maybe we will vote you again…. or MAYBE NOT!

    It’s democracy for god sakes. it’s not your divine right to rule.

  20. Hello Brader Anil,

    You bloggers have moved a mountain. People like you, TukarTiub, Mahaguru, Sloone, HarisIbrahim, RPK etc, etc are heroes of the people of Malaysia. I salute you all. I also hope DSAI will realise what you all have done for him. However, he must always remember what he’d said: “Anak Melayu, anak kita; Anak Cina, anak kita & Anak India also anak kita.”

    BN Sakthi threatened that “When the BN government finally wipes out the Opposition from the face of this Earth, we’ll be coming after you…” Cakap besar… From 20+ to 80+ kerusi, BN Sakthi must inside his tempurung dreaming. The sheer arrogance and coupling it with the Keris Wushu, Broom Trophy, Bocor & Hand-signs, will just hasten the BeeEnd to their graves.

    It’s a shame that for half a century, we’ve been bullied, manupulated & deceived and yet we’d kept on putting them in power.

    But, as Congreve aptly puts it:

    “Heaven hath no rage like love to hatred turned:
    Nor hell a fury like the Rakyat scorned.”

  21. BN what??????? .Are you trying to disgrace makkal sakthi?What, BN gave us education?All these years I thought my father was the one who toiled day and night to give me an education.I thought my forefathers and parents paid tax to the govt to open up all those schools in Malaysia.All I know is that BN had refused to solve the 40,000 or so indians birthcertificate woes and therefore many of their children were not accepted into national schools,worse still when some tamil schools which accepted them on humanitarian grounds, were ordered by the education ministry to sack them.
    BN SAKTHI,you are a deadwood walking just like those UMNO…if you are man enough please publish your contact details and i would love to have a word with you,instead of stooping so low and cheap resorting to threatening bloggers who are more responsible than you are.You suck.People like you are the one giving bad name to the others…

    Anil,

    Keep up your good job,ignore this… Regards.
