If Umno is above the law, Ibrahim Ali is above the constitution!

Ibrahim Ali is bigger than Umno

Mohd Ariff Sabri Aziz | June 27, 2011
If demonstrations are not allowed then the law must also work restrospectively against those who protested aggressively against Bersih and its chairman S Ambiga.
COMMENT
Umno is at sixes and sevens as to how to deal with Perkasa’s Ibrahim Ali.  He is now bigger than Umno, becoming the de facto voice of the Malays and an indictment on the current Umno leadership.
Umno has lost its Malayness and is seen as no longer capable of speaking for the Malay.
The more important Umno leaders simply don’t have the personal experience of what it means to be Malay.
Hence they can’t really empathize with the real Malay.
If Ibrahim is able to tap into the fears and anxieties, imagined or real of the Malays, it means the Umno leadership has failed to address them.
By default that makes Ibrahim relevant and Umno, reduced to being a spectator.
You have to tip your hat to Ibrahim. He is a tireless operator.
Did you know that he had a heart bypass a few months ago? Today he is up and about directing street demos.
Perhaps he has received a blood transfusion with super-budu formulations.
He hasn’t lost his flair of mobilizing crowds to any cause he chose – laughable or not.
Arrest all
Only Ibrahim can secure a permit and get people riled up shouting profanities of all kind and burning portraits of comrade S Ambiga (Bersih chairman) and all as a counter-demo to another demo that has not even taken place!
Bersih’s ‘Walk for Democracy’ march is on July 9. The proposed march for free and fair elections has however attracted political hooliganism aimed at suppressing calls for free and fair elections.
Leading what is seen as an affront to ‘fairly elected’ Barisan Nasional regime is Ibrahim.
The ease in which Ibrahim secures permits to hold demos and rallies and the police’s stand is puzzling.
It’s not consistent at all.
Either the police give everyone permission to hold demonstrations or you don’t give at all.
If demonstrations are not allowed, then the law must also work retrospectively.
In which case, police must arrest all those who protested aggressively against Bersih and Ambiga a few days ago.
