Brace for more assaults on freedom, says MP

Ariff Sabri calls on Malaysians to make Muhyiddin's fear a reality.
unfair2KUALA LUMPUR: Raub MP Mohd Ariff Sabri Abdul Aziz has raised the fear of a further erosion of democratic freedoms in Malaysia, saying Umno is in a state of panic and will resort to draconian laws to keep itself in power.
“It’s easy to detect the dictatorial tendencies during the 2014 Umno general assembly,” Ariff says in his latest blog entry. “The belligerent and bellicose talk that emanated from the assembly will be used as an expression of the will of the people, thereby giving Umno the reason to apply draconian laws on citizens.”
Referring to Umno Deputy President Muhyiddin Yassin’s statement that Barisan Nasional will lose Putrajaya if there is a 2% vote swing to the opposition, he says Umno is aware that new voters in the next general election will reject it.
Ariff calls on voters to “make Muhyidin’s fear a reality”.
He is confident that voters from Generation Y won’t vote Umno. “This is not only because the young is by nature adventurous and sometimes rebellious, but also because they have acquired a higher level of social consciousness. This is caused in part by the explosion of information via the Internet and also the result of personal education.
“The higher level of social consciousness has produced one profound realization and revelation; the younger generation is now more conscious that no one community or race in Malaysia can fight for its rights in isolation.
“Instead, there is now a realization that any one community’s fight for rights must be part of a larger universal right belonging to the individual and the citizens of this country.”
Ariff condemns Umno as a “menace to individual freedom”, which he defines as the “freedom of coercion from others”.
“By individual freedom we don’t mean the freedom to do anything as we please – that’s a disingenuous way to disarm our arguments offered by Umno couch potatoes and feeble minded drones.”
He says Umno has become a “mob party”.
“The hallmarks of a mob party are the twisting of truth, stirring of passions, demonization of opponents and reliance on propagandistic narrations in place of ideas that move people,” he writes.
“Umno is no longer believable among the better informed masses, the urban dwellers who read alternative information. Instead Umno appeals to the least informed and weakest minded members of the public. It’s base consists of Akademi Fantasia moms, the ‘jom heboh’ crowd, struggling actresses who join Puteri Umno, Utusan Malaysia and Gila Gila readers, welfare recipients, and heads-up-their-asses government rich and new rich by way of licenses and APs and gifted projects, Bangsar Shopping Complex loafers and, of course, the government workers who can never be laid off.
“It’s easier to round up these people by frightening them about assaults on race, religion and regent.”
