The opposition is hiding behind the planned Bersih 2.0 rally with a plot to topple the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) government, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said today.
The Umno deputy president (picture) said the opposition’s agenda was to create a momentum among the people to hate the government by raising various issues beyond the call for clean and fair elections.
“They are trying to use street demonstrations against the government to achieve their road to Putrajaya,’’ Muhyiddin told reporters after opening the annual meeting of Beaufort Umno.
The Bersih 2.0 electoral watchdog group has called for a rally in Kuala Lumpur on July 9 to demand the Election Commission (EC) clean the electoral roll, reform postal vote, use indelible ink, free and fair access to media and have a minimum 21 days campaign period.
The group which comprises opposition parties, non-governmental organisations and activists are also asking the government to strengthen public institutions, stop corruption and dirty politics.
But Muhyiddin pointed out that if the elections had not been free and fair, how could the opposition win so many parliamentary seats and four state governments in 2008.
“If it is not free and fair, how could they make electoral gains. If they win they keep quiet and if they lose they claim unfairness, why the double standards. I think their motive is a short cut to Putrajaya,” he said.
The three parties that later formed Pakatan Rakyat (PR) – PKR, DAP and PAS – won 82 federal seats and four more states in Election 2008 which saw BN losing its customary two-thirds parliamentary majority for the first time ever since becoming a coalition in 1974. That victory came after the first Bersih rally in 2007.
Umno and Malay rights group Perkasa have denounced the rally, saying it would lead to chaos, have an impact on tourism and is a threat to national security. Several police reports have also been lodged against the rally.
Umno Youth has also announced it will hold its own rally against the Bersih rally, joining Perkasa which was the first group to counter the rally.
The police have said it will not issue permits for any rally on that day and will mount operations to prevent gatherings in the city.

if that is so, what about perkasa and your youth wing? You really are a stupid head without brains. Bloody nonsense yet a dpm, without any substance.
The Rakkyat who support the BERSIH a lot of them are highly educated , talented professional even have better education background than opposition politicians.
Do you think the opposition can control those talented and highly educated people ?
Wake up . The BN is facing mature , talented Rakyat . If the Rakyat really want PR to replace BN then everyone has to accept it .
Why never regret what BN has done on the Rakyat , why want blame to the whole world except you BN yourselve .
Before you denounce Bersih, can you let me know why didnt you allow Ambiga to enter Sarawak...ask yourself this question first..before opening your big mouth.. Can you give the rakyat a reasonable answer?
Muhyiddin, it's not Bersih who is going to topple the Government, it's the people of Malaysia of all races who intended to in the coming GE13.. If the BN government is free and fair in 2008, you would not be sitting in Putrajaya as DPM and giving us this craps.
