Umno using communist issue as a diversion

UMNOPORNO try to swallow   the people  about communist issue

Mohamad Sabu has called Umno’s accusations that the PAS deputy president is a communist sympathiser an attempt to distract the public from current issues such as electoral fraud and inflation.

He said in a press conference in Kota Baru that Umno was trying to cover up the weaknesses of the federal government by accusing him of revering communists.

“The issue of communism has been purposely raised by Umno’s newspaper to divert the attention of the public from electoral reforms and inflation,” he added in a statement released today.

Mohamad’s (picture) statements echo that of his Pakatan Rakyat (PR) colleagues who earlier accused Umno of rewriting history to ensure that the senior partner in the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) takes sole credit for the independence struggle.

But the federal opposition has also admitted that Mohamad’s comments had allowed Umno a reprieve after being on the backfoot for months following record levels of inflation and the July 9 Bersih rally which saw tens of thousands pouring into the capital demanding for free and fair elections.

Umno has gone on the offensive since its Utusan Malaysia reported last Saturday that Mohamad had allegedly described as heroes those who attacked the Bukit Kepong police station during the pre-independence communist insurgency.

The Malay daily had accused him of disparaging the country’s armed forces and expressing support for communists but Mohamad, popularly known as Mat Sabu, has denied the report or mentioning communists and has threatened to sue the newspaper.

But Umno leaders such as vice-president Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and even former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad have continued to accuse the PAS man of trying to revise history and glorify communists.

However, Mohamad pointed out today that Mat Indera, one of the individuals he praised in his ceramah on August 21, had been recognised as a freedom fighter by Umno-controlled Berita Harian on August 13, 2010.

Denying that he “idolised communists,” the maverick politician also said that “Umno leaders are panicking as the history of the independence struggle is coming to light especially to the younger generation.”

“I have been detained under the Internal Security Act twice and was accused of being a religious extremist,” he added.

The people should know that in 1950 when the Kepong incident happened there WAS NO Malaysian police lah...mana ada PDRM? Malaysia was not even existent.

So for (d)UMNO to say that the communists then fought the imaginary "anggota2 POLIS DiRaja Malaysia" in Kepong IS A TOTAL LIE.

"...Utusan Malaysia pada halaman utamanya, 27 Ogos lalu mendakwa pemimpin kanan PAS tersebut berkata pengganas Parti Komunis Malaya (PKM) yang menyerang dan membunuh anggota keselamatan dan keluarga mereka dalam tragedi Bukit Kepong..." (Malaysiakini)

Utusan conveniently uses "anggota keselamatan" to mean "the PDRM". Those who are misinformed and ignorant would have fallen for the trap. Being emotional and loyal to Utusan, readers would have assumed that the uniformed units during the British rule were actually the PDRM!

Come on, do not be misled by Utusan and UMNO leaders who are trying to pull wool over our eyes. They are trying to gain sympathy and win brownie points in the hope to win the Malay votes. Do not give your votes to those who twist facts and hide truths. And Utusan is always LYING, with UMNO right behind!


How many Chinese were murdered by the Japanese in Malaya during World War 2 but we let bygones be bygones and have normal relationship with them. Why can't we move on and not let umno play this dirty political game of demonizing the past? Communism today is no longer a threat because najib give a Red Carpet Welcome to Premier Wen Jia Bao begging to to trade with COMMUNIST CHINA! Have umno idiots no SHAME accusing Mat Sabu when their own leader is licking COMMUNIST CHINESE BOOTS? Get a Reality Check!

One good thing we can learn from Communist China is that those involved in corruption are normally given a death penalty. Then there'll be no one anymore in BN line up. Now we can understand the fear.

the trouble with umno is, they still think the rakyat are like their grassroot members who follows blindly and believes what their leaders says...most if not all, don't have a mind of their own...we've got news for you umno....the rakyat are not as stupid as you think they are..

But then, as a person who seem to claim to have a mind of his own, do you not have to admit that the communists at that time was fighting the British colonists and were considered freedom fighters who had to hide and fight against the colonists from the jungles. When the hit that police station, it was a British police station although it was also manned by our local police. Dig up old history books and find out the truth for yourself.
