Yesterday in my post 2018 - Senimen wants Namewee's citizenship stripped; 2013 - Mahathir wanted same for Ambiga the interesting observation drawn were:
(A) the call for stripping of some people of their citizenship, by
(B) certain people.
The first group 'A' would be non-Malays whilst the second 'B' would be UMNO or UMNO-affiliated people. For example, Namewee and Ambiga Sreenevasan have both been considered as not worthy of Malaysian citizenship even though both were born in this country while those desiring to strip them of their citizenship has been, the most notorious of all, Mahathir Mohamad.
Has anyone in UMNO call for the stripping of Zamihan Mat Zin's citizenship even though the racist was openly critical of HM Sultan of Johor and PM Najib?
Yes, in 2013, just a mere 4 plus years ago, Mahathir wanted to strip Ambiga of her citizenship for nothing more than her involvement in BERSIH. Guess who subsequently joined BERSIH 4 and 5?
Not only that, Mahathir was reported as saying the Government needed to amend the constitution if it wanted to strip the citizenship of lawyers such as Ambiga.
What have all above tell us?
'Nons' like Wee Meng Chee (Namewee) and Ambiga have in reality never been considered as true Malaysians, and if they were/are, were only so by virtue of silly sheets of paper titled citizenship (or via their birth certificates), which if taken away when those 'nons' were becoming annoying, would solve the problem (whatever those were/are to people like Mahathir).
Someone has this mafulat belief that when things couldn't be done legally, t'was the silly obstructionist Constitution but fortunately in his mind, which could be easily amended to facilitate his wishes.
Reforms? My bloody foot.
