Chairman KRudd Discovers ‘Democracy’ in Malaysia

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd says Malaysia is a vibrant and flourishing democracy, although he avoided meeting a politician regarded as the country’s de facto opposition leader.

Mr Rudd said yesterday that the strength of democracy in Malaysia was a “great testament to the political wisdom of the people of this country”.

“Democracy is not just alive and well in Malaysia but flourishing,” Mr Rudd said after meeting his Malaysian counterpart, Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi.

“What has been great for us all to see in the councils of the world is the strength of Malaysia’s diplomatic processes,” he said in response to a question about human rights in Malaysia.

Mr Abdullah said the leaders of the two countries could discuss any issue.

Mr Rudd chose not to meet high-profile Malaysian politician Anwar Ibrahim on this, his first state visit to Malaysia as Prime Minister.

Malaysia has been rocked by sensational claims in recent weeks, with Mr Anwar embroiled in controversy over fresh allegations of sodomy following 1998 claims that led to his imprisonment. Adding to the turmoil, Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak has been accused of an affair with a woman who was subsequently killed.

Meeting Mr Anwar would have meant that Mr Rudd departed from the usual protocols, and would have created diplomatic tensions with his host.

Lowy Institute Asian affairs specialist Malcolm Cook said dramatic allegations of sodomy and counter-claims of a murder conspiracy showed the “colourful” state of Malaysian politics.

But “for the first time in modern Malaysian history, the potential for a change of government is quite strong”, he said.

Mr Rudd has been keen to place Australia’s relationship with Malaysia on a more even footing. He said Australia and Malaysia were entering a new phase in which the partnership would be built on working together in the region and the world.

The two leaders unveiled a number of initiatives, with education a central theme. Continued…

Too small? Click here This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening. We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but  you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way... But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it.  If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted. Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth, (we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it! One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display. But you won't be back, trust me on that. Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?
