Zero space and time for treason

If Najib believes 'whites' are out to destroy us, why were 'whites' employed to transform the nation?

Umno is now screaming, “Treason!” Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor are being carved out to be seen or perceived, seemingly and increasingly, as targets of foreign agents out to topple them in cohorts with local politicians and individuals.

Truth be told and upheld, that if there is an act of or even intention for treason against this nation, there has to be zero tolerance for any and all acts and intentions or plots to destroy the leadership, the nation or the Rulers and the people.

As the foreign media keep exposing various allegations of how fraudulent the government has been under the leadership of Najib Razak, while also exposing the alleged extravagance of his wife, the prime minister has now declared that he or his party machinery will not bow to the attacks of the “white” foreigners.

For him as the leader of a nation to openly state thus, it can be taken as a clear affirmation that there are acts of treason taking shape in this country.

If the Wall Street Journal or the Asia Sentinel or Sarawak Report are the “whites” who are after Malaysia’s downfall, what must the leader of this nation do to save this country of 30 million people from suffering such treason-plots? If there are local politicians who are in cohorts with these “whites” to commit acts of treason against the Crown and his Subjects what must Najib do?

But what have we witnessed instead?

Everybody is being made out to be an agent, a spy, a culprit, an accomplice and suspect of treason. And it appears there are more than we can now count with each advancing week.

In the meantime, Najib hosted the British Prime Minister with gleeful smiles when the latter stopped over last week. And not long before that he flew over, despite a local disaster, to play golf with the US President Barack Obama.

Why did he not register his vehement protest against the “whites” by giving the cold shoulder to the number one from the white countries?

If the “whites” are out to destroy this nation, why is his stepson investing millions on “white” soil?

And then again, on the local circuit, if Muhiyuddin Yassin has lied by stating in public that Najib did bank in RM2.6 billion, why is Najib not arresting the now removed Deputy Prime Minister but going around the circuit preaching loyalty? Or how about Dr Mahathir Mohamad himself?

Going by what the Najib administration is preaching, treason has been committed. Why talk of loyalty?

If the owner of the Edge has plotted with locals and “whites” to topple Najib’s government, why are they not arrested and tried with urgency? This is treason right? Is it not of supreme urgency if the Najib administration claims our beloved country is under attack?

If it is true that there are willful acts of treason, all Malaysians must gather to register our protest and demonstrate our patriotic will to protect the nation against treason. You do not need a permit. You do not need police approval to pledge loyalty to the  government, Crown and people right?

Najib must jail all those who are complicit, culpable or suspected subsequent to a court trial.

As for the “whites” trying to destroy this nation, Najib and his Cabinet must also vehemently and convincingly fight the “whites” on all fronts. But did we not learn that the “whites” were employed at huge costs to transform the public relations image and reputation of the Najib team and government?

What all Malaysians must ask openly is, who is the real enemy out to destroy us all, and demand that those guilty be named, prosecuted, charged and imprisoned or banished with urgency.

And it better be not trumped up charges of falsehoods or else even God cannot save this nation. You do not treat charges or allegations or story-spins of treason lightly and keep crying ‘wolf’ all the time.

Malaysians are you prepared to unite to fight and kill our true enemy? And Najib, are you and your new cabinet loyalists prepared to name and shame those enemies beyond any trace of doubt?

To do so, the Najib administration must convince patriotic Malaysians about a host of issues and concerns that, in summary, would cover the Altantuya murder, the Scorpene arms purchase kickbacks, the Hollywood investment by Rosmah’s son, 1MDB and related scandals.

If the answer is ‘No” , then the prime minister of Malaysia and his Cabinet are all guilty of committing treason. And if Malaysians do not take pain to ask, we are also guilty of abetting treason.
