Aneh, tidak ada satu pun media utama yang membuat liputan tentang serbuan ini

A Government That Betrays Trust must prove its innocence.

leaders who betray Trust Must Gulung Tikar!

The AG told the nation the offices of SRC have been raided. Which one- SRC International Sb, ihsan Perdana Sb, Gandingan Mentari Sb? All of them?

Strange, none of the mainstream newspapers covered the raid. Why? No one told them like the arrest of Justo in Thailand? By the way, my sources say- no one media from Malaysia were allowed to see Justo. No media people from Malaysia were allowed to interview Justo. So the pictures about the arrest were borrowed and touched upon. Same like being tampered.

We ask for proof in the form of pictures. Has anyone thought about the possibility of the statement being issued by the AG is to calm people and placate anger?

Where’s the beef? How come the ever vigilant press wasn’t around?  So I wouldn’t rush to hail the action claimed.

No rush on AMbank? Bank Negara? The raid if ever took place, isn’t complete without covering Ambank and Bank Negara. Who took part? PDRM, SPRM, AG, Auditor General’s Office, UTK in ski masks? There’s no tweet from the IGP? Horrors!

I am not sure if raids were actually carrried out on the offices related to SRC. 

The USD700million.

In view of the absence of solid evidence, we must assume that in the month of March 2013, RM2.6 billion were transferred into the PM’s personal account at AMbank. The huge fund was subsequently used to finance BN’s elections.

The question then, what is the status of seats won?

They were won using money. That’s how UMNO won many of its seats anyway. Money was used to pay candidates, bribed voters and maybe greased officials. That would make the government of Najib a government funded by bribery. 

In the outlying polling stations where opposition parties do not have the resources to oversee polling, they have to depend on the officials placed there by the EC. These people can be paid to count every vote as that casted for BN.

Morally this would make Najib’s government an illegitimate government. It also confirms that the Najib government is a corrupt government. Yet, with all the money, BN could not win the popular votes. It won on technicalities. This fact seemed to be lost on the cocky BN legislators. They do not represent the majority of voters in Malaysia.

The government has to cede to the wishes of the people.

Why must the government prove its innocence?  For that is what Najib represents, the government. Because the people demand it. 

In my mind, we cannot look at the nature of the relation between a government and its people from a purely legalistic point of view. The views of lawyers such as Salleh Said Keruak are not always illuminating; in fact they are mostly misleading.

The nature of the relationship between the government and its people is founded on trust. Trust involves, as Fukuyama explained, reciprocity. 

The people elect the government, places their belief in the government, obeys the laws the government makes- expecting as a matter of fact, in return, the government conducts itself rightfully and justly to justify the trust forged between them. Now, when the government does wrongful acts, these destroy the trust built. In order to regain the trust, the government must restore and make good by cleansing itself.

That is the fundamental reason why in this case, Najib representing the government, must prove his innocence.

Unless of course, Najib is prosecuted as an individual where the conventional treatment of accused and prosecution is used; he will be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The government stands before the court of public opinion. Its must prove itself innocent of the wrongful conduct. It is now the people who demand the state prove its innocence.

The court of the people representing the nation enjoys a higher level of rights. It has the moral right to demand the government proves its innocence not dissimilar to the people’s right of recall. The people has the overriding right to recall the government at any anytime and does not have to wait until the government which is accused of wrongful conduct, runs it full tenure.

So Najib cannot use the argument that because he is democratically elected and therefore can only be removed through elections, forgets that the people always has the right of recall at any time. The President of the USA can be impeached and removed at any time even if his tenure subsists.
