Mahathir Era Controls Have Returned Posted: 08 Dec 2010 09:55 PM PST Dari Malaysiakini Senarai kesilapan dan salah-laku ke atas parti-parti politik dan pencabulan hak asasi oleh kerajaaan sepanjang 2010 menunjukkan negara kini kembali ke era zaman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, kata pertubuhan hak asasi manusia, Suaram. Ketika mendedahkan laporannya – Civil and Political Rights Report 2010 hari ini, ahli jawatankuasa sekretariat, Hasbeemaputra Abu Bakar berkata pencabulan itu termasuk jumlah tangkapan yang tinggi ketika perhimpunan oleh rakyat dan kawalan ketat ke atas media yang menunjukkan ‘tanda-tanda dasar masyarakat tertutup’. "Terdapat ruang yang sebegitu kecil bagi golongan yang menentang ataupun pandangan alternatif yang tidak sehaluan dengan kerajaan. "Ini adalah masa yang getir; ia boleh bergerak kepada kedua-dua arah, tetapi Suaram berpandangan ia petanda bahawa era Mahathir ketika mengawal masyarakat kini kembali," katanya. === The laundry list of transgressions on political and civil rights by the government in 2010 signals a return to the Dr Mahathir Mohamad era, says human rights organisation Suaram. Unveiling its Civil and Political Rights Report 2010 overview today, secretariat member Hasbeemaputra Abu Bakar said the violations, that include a high number of arrests for public assemblies and clampdowns on the media are "signs of a closing society". "There has been very little space for dissent or alternative views that do not jive with the government. "It’s a very tricky time; things could go either way, but Suaram views it as a signal of a return of the Mahathir era of control over society," he said.
