Yoursay: Our politicians could learn a thing or two from Wong

YOURSAY | ‘We just need about a thousand of such young people to change the course of this country.’

Wong Yan Ke - the rebel in the spotlight

Legit: What a bright, matured and brave young man. We just need about a thousand of such young people to change the course of this country.

Young people, like Universiti Malaya (UM) student activist Wong Yan Ke, must rise up to fight the corrupted, bigoted system and the racists and religious fanatics who are running this country to the ground.

If the young don't rise up, this country is doomed and will become another Zimbabwe.

Anonymous #33227154: I salute Wong. Yes, Malaysia needs more principled and courageous youth from all races like Wong. They give us hope for a better future for our country.

We need youth who will contribute to the country as Malaysians, and free from the race and religion shackles which the politicians and far-right groups use to divide us.

Headhunter: Wong seems like an intelligent young man. He is very committed to his belief and willing to make personal sacrifices to pursue it.

From the Malaysiakini interview, his action wasn't a flash-in-the-pant stun but a culmination of his past efforts to engage the university and even the education minister to improve students’ welfare, which unfortunately fell on deaf ears.

Our politicians could learn a thing or two from this young man.

Athena: Wong, bravo! Just know one thing, whatever anybody may say, your action is definitely a personal milestone. You have hit the bull's eye.

You have made yourself a sort of an icon and I share your endeavour and your passion. One thing though, don't join any political party. That will only give fodder for people to attack or insinuate.

We need people like you to stand up and push the agenda. I, too, am doing it in my own small way.

Your bravery and your steadfastness are much appreciated. Forge ahead, and we will be behind you!

Najib didn't lodge report on RM42m to avoid interfering in probe, claims defence

Slumdog: Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak and his lawyer must think Malaysians are fools to accept such ludicrous and preposterous excuses for not interfering with ongoing investigations into the RM42 million of SRC money deposited into his bank account.

When did Najib ever feel he should hold back because he felt he would be interfering? This is from someone who only has to open his mouth and everyone around him obediently complies.

What happened to all the investigations by various task forces - the MACC, Bank Negara, police, the auditor-general, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and former attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail?

Is Najib saying he did not interfere in any of these investigations?

Lionking: It looks like the hotshot lawyer is running out ideas. What a flimsy excuse. We are not talking of an illiterate person but a PM and finance minister who should have acted in a transparent manner when receiving such a huge sum of money.

If he issues cheques and uses the money which he allegedly has no knowledge of, he is no different from a thief.

Anonymous_1533094668: Najib spent the money before the investigations started. Any person in rightful mind would not issue cheques paying out colossal sums of money when he is not sure what his bank balance is.

Bornean: Of course, Najib doesn't want to interfere with the investigations in both the SRC and 1MDB.

That was why he suddenly removed Abdul Gani from his AG’s post and dissembled the investigation task force.

Zunar against banning of ‘Superman’ Hew’s comic

JW: Yes, cartoonist Zunar, that's the approach to take. It saves time and money for having to monitor anyone circumventing the ban because it is so easy in this day and age of new technology to go around it.

Whatever happened to agree to disagree in a multiracial society like Malaysia? The ban is usually about one of the groups needing it to assert power over the others.

This has nothing to do with the nonsense about protecting social unity, harmony and peace, which is no more than a smokescreen.

Quigonbond: This whole episode of the Belt and Road Initiative comic book is just Bersatu’s way to take DAP down a notch to level the playing field since Bersatu ministers have been a massive disappointment in terms of actual reforms or defending moderate Malaysia.

For me, there are so many ways to deal with this, including redacting certain parts of the comic book or just tell the publisher to attach an advisory that while the book is intended to build bridges, it may have some communist propaganda.

So Hew is right that rule of law has taken a drubbing because of the upcoming by-election in Tanjung Piai.

The only question I have is why Hew allowed the publication of the book. It’s just bad taste. He should apologise for being overzealous or otherwise careless. And Bersatu should stop this mindless investigation and persecution.

Malaysian-United: “We must reject the political culture of ‘pests’ (makhluk perosak) that can threaten national harmony, and the government must be firm in taking action against any party which crosses this line.”

Same goes to you, PAS leader Abdul Hadi Awang.

In fact, you and your bunch of "makhluk perosak" from PAS and Umno have done greater harm to national harmony than anyone else within or outside the country so the government needs to take action against you first.

The Analyser: Zunar is right, of course. Let this stupid piece of propaganda stand on its own merits. Just looking at the facial expressions of the characters involved shows what a horrendous piece of propaganda this is.

Of course, some Chinese, the ones who are so insecure that they need big brother to hold their hand and swell their bank accounts, will love the comic. But the majority will see it for what it’s worth... trash.

The same principle applies to every form of censorship. But as I keep repeating, Malaysians do love to tell each other what they can and cannot do. - Mkini
