'We're ready to topple gov't with the pencil'

VOXPOP 'BN is at its weakest point, you don't need water bottles to topple it. Just a stroke of pencil on the ballot paper would do.' Even bottles can topple a gov't, says Nazri vox populi small thumbnailQuigonbond: Minister in the PM's Department Nazri Abdul Aziz is trying to be cute. Sadly, it comes out all wrong. First of all, Arab Spring (Egyptian chapter) was largely peaceful, thanks to handphones and not guns. Secondly, and most important of all, Bersih did not seek ouster of cabinet ministers. It only wants electoral reform. What is so ridiculously wrong with the demand that all political parties be given a level-playing field? Tangsyt: If the government is enjoying the support of the people, it should not worry about being toppled. It looks like Nazri is saying that the government is not enjoying the support of the people and is afraid of losing power - so afraid to the point of being paranoid about people carrying water bottles. May: If the powers-that-be were in solidarity with the rakyat, nothing can topple them, not even salt and water bottles. First denials, then lies, now violence, including political thuggery, what next? Our public institutions, instead of listening to the public's grouses and making an effort to improve their performance, are only good at pointing fingers, one even calling it just a "perception". If we continue to employ civil servants like that, aren't we the bigger fools? Source: Malaysiakini.com Jarumemas: And with that pencil too we can make BN win!!
