I believe many people has misconstrued about the Armed Forces (AF) involvement in the peace keeping measures during a crisis.

The AF involvement is governed by the law. They do not get involve on their own. Honestly, the AF top brass too do not like to be involve in such a problem. Even Najib as DPM or Min Of Defence can tells them to act.

When there is a need to restore public order, the police will play the first role. They will use all asset and personal that they have. Initially FRU and then PGA. If the situation is not controlled, the Army will be ordered to get involve.

When that time comes, the IGP will have to make a stand. It has to make decision that it cannot control the situation. He will advice the PM (as the chairman of National Security Council) that the police is not able to control the situation and the Council will then instruct the AF to get involved.Once the AF get involved, all defense, police and other government machinery will come under the command of the Chief of AF. He will use all his power to restore peace and order.

Recently the Police and Army has been conducting a joint exercise. Training makes perfect. What they are doing is fair and legitimate. The problem is many people prefer to interpret them negatively. Any exercise to ensure smooth transition of power between the police and the army is important. The police and the army has to protect the interest of millions of innocent bystanders.

Between protecting Anwar or Najib’s interest, I will do anything that I think is right that will protect me and my family interest. Anwar and Najib is insignificant to me when public order is at stake. That is why I welcome the Army and Police training. They have to protect the millions of dollars of public asset. As a citizen, we need to look into the bigger picture.

I don’t think I can agree with you on that. The police and army have diferent functions in different scopes. Bringing the army in to resolve a domestic matter will add to chaos rather than to prevent it.

Personally, I think the police, without the army reinforcement, does enough damage by erectng unnecessary roadblocks.

It usually works

my two cents worth

The political landscape has changed drastically since Pak Lah retook power following his party’s dismal win in the last elections. He has still not awaken from the loss, but the last few days events in the country, has made him to wonder whether a short holiday to Australia will be good for him.
With regards to the use of the Army in case there is disorder in the country,I am totally against it. You and I know what the Army is capable of doing?

Kalau Tentera ambil alih, Menteri Pertahanan pun tak ada kuasa dah. Yang ada di tangan PAT.

Mengikut pengalaman saya yang lepas lepas, pihak tentera
tidak berminat di dalam menguruskan negara. Menguruskan ATM pun dah cukup pening dan inikan pula seluroh negara.

Rakyat hendaklah fikir panjang dan sebaik baiknya duduk di rumah dan habiskan masa bersama keluarga. Jangan keluar dan jangan hebahkan maklumat palsu yangboleh memudaratkan keadaan lagi

Now the Altantuya affair is a whole different kettle of fish. What is in question here is the moral fitness of Umno/BN’stop leadership to form the government. We cannot have such hardcore criminals holding high office. It’s as simple as that. And if they resist being brought down by resorting to police or military action against the Rakyat, they would have descended to the moral level of a banana republic like Burma under SLORC or Zimbabwe under Mugabe. The only way a gang of crooks can maintain their grip on an entire country is to embark on a bloodbath of massive proportions such as Pol Pot initiated in Cambodia. Can it happen here?

I think not. Our samseng in Umno/BN may be as deceitful, greedy and corrupt as the world’s worst thugs – but I doubt they have the stomach for full-scale military rule. And even if they did there would be crippling outflow of money and professional talent from Malaysia that would knock our country back to the 19th century.

You have to differentiate between organised protest and violent threat to life and property.

I’m a supporter of the right to peaceful assembly.
What happens if the army starts shooting automatic rifles into a peaceful crowd, just because it refuses to obey the order to disperse ?

We could end up with something like the Tian An Men massacre, for which China PRC still cannot live down, 20 years later.

I pray DSAI will not be arrested for the SODOMEE issues but I will Pray harder.. he will not become the next PM of malaysia. Of course.. non of the next lineup of UmmmmmmNOSSS.. capable to hold the post especially.. tauke C4 punya hubby!.
