Don’t take Bendera’s threat to attack lightly


BENDERA, a radical group in Indonesia, has issued a warning that they will attack Malaysia this coming Thursday to supposedly avenge their misgivings with us over many petty issues like “stealing” their folk songs and dances, abusing their maids, exporting terrorists to them etc.

Make no mistake, they have clearly stated that their 1.5 million “soldiers” here would do the job; not them coming all the way from Indonesia with sticks and parangs.

Both our government and the Indonesian government have laughed it off and don’t find it fit to counter the plan.

But what if these guys manage to pull it off by getting their like-minded country men here to do the job?

They may create a civil war by attacking one particular race and hoping the attacked race would retaliate thinking these attackers are locals. They probably know how fragile our race relationship is.

They may also attack religious premises, homes and cars to create a climate of fear amongst our people. Our leaders should put in preventive measures in case these attacks happen, rather than just laugh it off. Don’t ever let them catch us with our pants down and later come out with excuses.

BE CONCERNED,

Kuala Lumpur.
