Concerted Effort To Hasten the Demise of Syed Hamid

Under Malaysia Civil Right Actions Group, there is a concerted effort to hasten the demise of Syed Hamid as the Home Minister. I know many would rather using slippers to whack his bold head, but let's keep our raw emotion at bay, and work toward burying his political career. When we work in the concerted effort, we will assert our civil right and strengthen our civil society in the process.

You can find the detail on that concerted effort under Option 2 of the Action Proposal #003. If you need resources to execute the Option 2, please use this common resource depository . I have copied the Option 2 for your reference here:

********************
Option 2: Throw 1800 darts to hasten the demise of Syed Hamid Albar
This option requires each of us to do at least two of the following items:

Call PM office (03-8888 8000)
Write to prominent writers/bloggers
Call or meet a MP (Contact info is here)

Under this option, each of us also is required to influence two more friends to do the above.

In your meeting or email, please express your lost of confidence to the Home minister; You also feel ashamed as a citizen for having him in the Cabinet because of his utter incompetence in the case of explaining "arrest you under ISA for your protection" and dire mistake in arresting MP Terasa Kok without proper investigation. Then please express as a concerned citizen you would like him being fired by our "beloved" PM. The goal of writing to prominent writers/bloggers is to tell them the collective outrage and urge them (i.e. the 1st tier leaders) to write a more influential article to condemn Syed Hamid. Let's shine the spot light on Syed Hamid's incompetent with all means not limited to the case of RPK incarceration.

The goal of this collective action is to see if we can create a crack to eventually cause the demise of Syed Hamid. With 5 month left as PM, AAB (or his forth-floor boys) might find public outrage of Syed Hamid is actually a golden opportunity to show his gut and fire Syed Hamid as the scapegoat. It is quite common in politic of other part of the world where top leaders choose scapegoat from his lieutenants as a way to survive the blame. Firing Syed Hamid also provides AAB a chance to regain his reform (not that we want to give many hope on this) without much to lose. Why 1800 "darts" - it is derived from 250 potential second tier leaders with 20% improvement from previous action proposal; do the math. Lame duck premiers, such as Mikhail Gobachev in his last months in office, normally like to show his "people side".

Once Syed Hamid is removed, then our request to release RPK is easier fulfilled because BN Administration can then blame on Syed Hamid's incompetence. The story flows pretty good for the government.

Risk Analysis: no risk; we just execute our civic duty. The decision to fire Syed Hamid is still that of AAB. Remember to cheer AAB if he does eventually fire Syed Hamid and show he is the "man" -something he much crave for after being beaten up inside UMNO. We don't hate him, do we?

The above concerted effort is being conducted between Oct 19 - 23.
