Passport is the right of the citizens, not a privilege

Nur Jazlan must be out of his mind and insane to say that the possession of a passport is a privilege, not a right.

First of all, "those who are found to defame the country or badmouth Putrajaya will be barred from travelling overseas" on grounds that "it affects Malaysia's image" is itself downright ridiculous. Putrajaya is not Malaysia. Criticising the government does not equate to criticising the country. Do not relate yourself and preposterously place yourself as Malaysia. People criticise the government because they care about the country and they act on patriotism to criticise those who wish to bring down the country. Wake up. You're not Malaysia.

Second, the Federal Court has in 2009 in a judgment ruled that "every citizens has a right to travel abroad". Travelling is not a privilege, it is a right. Don't be an autocrat and try to tell people how to behave or move.

Thirdly, you're elected by the people, and you serve the people. That's the purpose of democratic election - we elect who we want to serve us. Malaysia obviously is far from being democratic as democracy obviously is not practised here. Don't be cocky and demand people to respect you. We chose you, and we get to ridicule you anyway we want.

Wake up and stop submerging in your illusion. Malaysians will only get vocal and get much angrier and in GE14, it'll be end game for you.
