What are the stated objectives and aspirations of this newly minted people’s movement?
To mobilize and empower the People: –
- · to resist all forms of intolerance, bigotry, hatred, extremism, and violence;
- · to oppose all forms of discrimination, oppression, persecution and injustice;
- to strive for a socially inclusive society
- to exhort the State and its Institutions to respect, adhere and uphold the Rule of Law; and
- to demand adherence to the principles of stewardship, integrity, accountability and transparency in all aspects of governance.

To this, Isma’s Zaik contends that Negara – Ku is a direct threat to its cause to uphold Islamic and Malay rights, so reports Malaysiakini.
This criticism, by Zaik, without more, serves as a most damning testimony of his ‘Islam’, but let’s leave that discussion for another day.
Ambiga has responded to these allegations, and responded well.
Ambiga has called on Zaik to produce facts to back up his allegations.
“He will have to explain how that is so. Why is he so nervous about the movement? The movement is based on the Federal Constitution, Malaysia Agreement and the Rukunegara. What is his problem with that?”, the Malay Mail reports Ambiga asking.
My sense, though, is that no explanation from Zaik or anyone in Isma will be forthcoming, because the very reason for which those allegations were made have been, or will be, in the near future, served.
What might that reason be?
To give fodder to the mainstream media to print and broadcast these lies about this new people’s movement, and to have those lies fed to those in the Malay heartlands who may well have little or no access whatsoever to the alternative news and the real truth about what this initiative is about.
If Negara – Ku is to have the impact we hope it will, our immediate task, then, is to get this truth out to those who most need to know it.
Our first, and foremost, task, is to overcome the untruths that certain segments of the media will convey to our brothers and sisters in the Malay heartlands.
Negara – Ku has put together an introductory video that was screened at the press conference on 10th July.
Here’s what you can do for starters.
Download and burn this video on DVDs.
As many as you can.
The Hari Raya holidays will soon be upon us, and many of us will balik kampong.
Distribute the video to as many people as possible.
Explain to them why this movement is so vital to the survival of our nation.
You and I must be the agents of truth that Negara – Ku so desperately needs.

Haris,
I am 110% behind you in supporting Negara-Ku.
ISMA is right to fear such an organisation because if Negara-Ku succeeds, ISMA will fail.
I absolutely love the calm and measured way in which Dato’ Ambiga Sreenevasan has asked Zaik to substantiate his ludicrous claims about Negara-Ku.
I’ll bet that Zaik has not felt so silly for a very long time – it’s almost like being spanked by your Mummy for lying, isn’t it, Zaik? 🙂

On 31 August 2014, we will be celebrating 57 years of Merdeka with shades of East India Company that continues to govern rakyat like cattle and destroy resources to enrich those in power.

A most timely and worthy cause. Let us all do our best to spread the truth. Our masses have been deceived long enough. Time to awake and rise up and reclaim this country.

Zaik and Isma came up to the fore really because they see UMNO/BN hesitancy albeit still support for their kind and agenda. They see that their fantasy and hallucination is not winning the debate and continued to be challenged despite winning battle after battle, at the courts, govt policies, In fact they sense, to their horror, their “enemy” is resolute and determined just as they have been through the ages and continue to win systematically over social, economic and belief systems.
In other words, the problem, has always been there, came out because UMNO/BN can’t hide it or them. Negara-ku at best put the problem out-front, confronts it which is what is really offensive to them – the heart of their fantasy and hallucination.
BUT Negara-ku does not necessary have much better answer by confronting them, merely just not hide the problem..

Many congratulations to Ambiga and all who have decided to form yet another futile national movement. The intent is laudable. Regrettably, the effect will be no more than a national whimper. It is going to take a lot more than such movements to bring about the change we want. The peaceful and silent majority are irrelevant in this country. It is the minority who hold sway over the institutions of power. It is the minority that will prevail. Our best bet was at the last GE. If we couldn’t do it when sentiment was at its highest and when the majority of the votes were in fact cast in favor of change – then we must accept that the change we so desire will never come about – peacefully. A tragic national conundrum no doubt – but a fact. The system is absurdly rigged beyond repair against fairness and justice.
The people will eventually rise as in Syria and elsewhere. Unfortunately, the powers that be will not care about the havoc, pain and suffering that will ensue – just as the bigots and gangsters of the middle-east do not. This nation is already in ruins – socially, economically, politically, morally, ethically and very sadly even spiritually. It will take much much more than Ambiga and gang to set things straight.
Good luck!
