- In commemoration of the 12th Anniversary of
Sahabat Rakyat Working Committee
Since independence in 1957,
people of all ethnic groups and all classes of society have been
suffering from the UMNO-dominant Alliance/BN government’s racist hegemonic
rule. The democracy and human rights that people should have enjoyed have been
of deprived brazenly by the despotic ruling clique. After suffering for
half a century, on 8 March 2008, a political storm broke out demanding reforms.
The result of “308” general
election undoubtedly shows that the UMNO-dominant BN ruling clique was
spurned by half of the voters and Pakatan Rakyat formed by the three main
opposition political parties (i.e. Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Democratic
Action Party (DAP), and Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS)) successfully seized
political power in 5 states (however, the Perak State was subsequently snatched
back by BN because three Pakatan members defected), although BN retained
its power in the federal government.
