Confiscated ? Grab ? Snatch or Coup d'état ? By Group 5 !!!

Salam..

As we have been questioned before in the earlier blogs, how if we couldn't answer the questions given by Miss Peesha in class. The answer is B.L.O.G !!! HaHaHa. Very the technologism ! Its interesting rather than presenting infront of the class :-P

Now, we are having dificulty to decide what is the suitable term for “ Rampasan Kuasa” in english..

So here, we want to share with u the result of our discussion during the process of finding that term. :-)


Ain - confiscated power

Qama - grab the power

Anis - snatch the power

Hafizah - arbitrarily grab the power

Jemy - Power rangers ! erkkk..


So, because of the confusing term, we come to the conclusion as it stated in the blog, it is called Coup d'état.. Pronounce it wisely, otherwise, u will suffer tongue disease. :-P

Coup d'état – The sudden, forcible, using threat and illegal removal of a government, usually by the military.


The question is legal or illegal?

We can use reasonable man test – reasonable man means an ordinary person who is not expected to have any particular skill. :-P .. So, what the ordinary person will think regarding Coup ?

As a reasonable man, they will say that the Coup d'état is illegal as well as the definition, which is replace the government by using force and threat.


The question is answered already right?

Coup usually involves control of some active portion of the military. This active group expels leaders and seizes physical control of important government offices.

The coup succeeds if its opponents fail to dismiss the plotters, allowing them to consolidate (strengthen) their position, obtain the surrender or acquiescence of the citizens and surviving armed forces, and claim legitimacy.

From that, we know that the concept of military coup is opposed with the concept that practiced in our country which is democracy. Democracy is majority rule ( people will elect their leaders ) through voting.

In other words, people will choose their representative during General Election and By - election, than the representative will responsible towards society.

There are contradictions between coup and democracy concepts.

So, Military is illegal when it practiced in the democracy country. It is because in democracy country, people have their rights to choose their government WITHOUT FORCE AND THREAT.


P/s - lets think together. U have something that u are really secure bout it, let say a boy friend. How if other girls grab urs. is it fair? Would u let him to that girl? u are induced to answer this question, so that u will agree with us that the Coup is illegal.

Done by Jemy, Hafizah, Ain, Qama and Hanis, FULLSTOP !!!
