The gag order issued by Lim Guan Eng on the DAP-PKR, Boo-Chua spat is bewildering but it helps show people the brand of democracy the Pakatan Rakyat politicians actually subscribe to (and they are supposed to be more democratic than the last member of the trinity - PAS!).
For all the talk about transparency and freedom, these politicians are the first to suppress information and deny the public their right to know what's going on. This is not the first time the Pakatan politicians have resorted to gagging; in fact, they have done it way too many times. Just Google. I found it amusing that one of the countries that resorted to the gag order efficiently in recent years is Israel. In the Prisoner X cover-up, the regime's gag order prevented the media in Israel to report the matter for over two years!
The gag order was lifted - partially! - only very recently as the world is shocked by details of the whole affair, of Prisoner X's (alleged) suicide in custody, the outright lie told by Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr to Australians: Speaking to ABC's "Foreign Correspondent" program, Carr had to admit he lied about the government being unaware of Zygier's existence. Previously he had told ABC, "It's never been raised with me." In an attempt to justify the gag order, Israeli PM Ben Netanyahu said that 'overexposure of security and intelligence activity' could harm Israel's security.
"We are not like all other countries. We are more threatened, more challenged, and therefore we have to ensure the proper activity of our security forces." Sure, the world understands. They need to sweep everything under the carpet. The deceit. The outright lies. The security of Israel. But what's DAP and PKR's excuse for their gag order? Read The Big Fight for a twist to the popular perspective.  |
