The real 1 Malaysia - forked tongue Najib

The real 1 Malaysia

Forked tongued cakap tak serupa bikin Najib Abdul Razak: "1 Malaysia is intended to provide a free and open forum to discuss the things that matter deeply to us as a Nation. It provides a chance to express and explore the many perspectives of our fellow citizens."

A look at the REAL 1 MALAYSIA (watch the video of Malaysian Police brutality and see if Najib's word match his police action:

On August 1st 2010, people from all walks of life gathered outside Amcorp Mall to hold a (peaceful) candlelight vigil. The purpose was to express the people's prolong dissatisfaction towards the ISA (Internal Security Act), a draconian law allowing detention without trial. For years the people of Malaysia have struggled to bring about the abolishment of the Act but to no avail....

It seems ironic how those in power remains so blind, when everything they preach stands before them...

United the people of Malaysia stand, crying out for a change, and yet the government turns a blind eye and set their dogs on us.

Biased PDRM arrest candlelight vigilers

Here is clear proof of the biased PDRM (Polis Diraja Malaysia) who stood by and watched while Section 23 Shah Alam residents and provocateur threaten violence and murder plus spat on a bloodied cow head to humiliate Hindus but arrested peaceful protesters carrying flowers and yellow candles:

Video showing the unruly protesters from Section 23 threatening murder

Those wrongfully arrested should sue police

Latest regarding the 5 lawyers who were wrongfully arrested for trying to see their clients who were also wrongfully arrested for attending candlelight vigils and for showing support to the arrest of Wong Chin Huat, have been freed. This clearly showed that their arrests were unnecessary and unlawful and they should now proceed to sue the police for wrongful arrests.

Selangor State Anthem at Candle Light Vigil MBPJ with lyrics

The Selangor State Anthem is sung every Sunday at the Civic Center (MBPJ). Got to admit it was the first time I have heard it sung. Below is a video of the Selangor State Anthem with the lyrics below the video:



Duli Yang Maha Mulia
Selamat di atas takhta
Allah lanjutkan usia Tuanku
Rakyat mohon restu
Bawah Duli Tuanku
Bahagia selama-lamanya
Aman dan sentosa
Duli Yang Maha Mulia

PJ Anti-ISA candlelight vigil as usual - even a little boy was not afraid

This Sunday Anti-ISA candlelight vigil is the first candlelight vigil with a Police Permit. The Police permit came with ridiculous conditions however. Among the conditions were participants cannot hold lighted candles, cannot wear Anti-ISA T-shirts, no banners, no leaflets, etc. The authorities must have thought that by arresting a few last Sunday, the others would be afraid. However the people were not afraid. You can see a good crowd in the photo below. The vast majority of the demonstrators did not know about the issuance of a Police permit and they came despite knowing that previous demonstrators had been arrested. They refused to be cowed by the authorities. They wore NO TO ISA T-shirts and lighted candles. You can see some No to ISA T-shirts and lighted candles in the photo below:



Bernard Khoo with KJ John. This was the first time I saw KJ John at the candlelight vigil. Not only KJ John joined the protesters, he also gave a great speech where he spoke about Rosa Park, a black women refusing to give up a bus seat to a white. And because Rosa Park refused to give in to unjust laws and regulations, others like Martin Luther King followed and Obama was elected to become the first black President of the mighty
United States of America. Our small actions of bravely attending peaceful candlelight vigil will eventually lead to the abolishment of the hated ISA (Internal Security Act).



We hope that more Malaysians will come forward to be counted. There is nothing to be afraid of. Even this little boy with a lighted candle is not afraid:



This round everyone, young and old, were given encouraged to speak. Below are photos of some who bravely stood up to give a speech. Here is a photo of Pastor giving his speech:



Here is a man giving his speech. If I did not mix him up with another, he said he is all the way from UK:



A young Edward Ling also gave a stirring speech. I don't have a photo, but I have a video of Edward Ling giving his speech together with other videos which will be embedded in this blog later.

Police Chief lying regarding BERSIH candlelight vigil at Civic Center

This is not the first time and definitely will not be the last time. Police lied through their teeth that they charged at peaceful Malaysians singing Negara Ku. Read what the Selangor Police Chief Khalid Abu Bakar has to say as reported by Malaysiakini:

---

Selangor police chief Khalid Abu Bakar has denied that the police moved in on participants at a candle-light vigil last night while they were singing the national anthem.

“That is what they (participants) are claiming,” Khalid told reporters at the Petaling Jaya police district headquarters about midnight.

When told that there was a video recording of the police action, Khalid replied: “I am denying it.”

Guns versus candles - Candlelight Vigil turned into a march

You know the saying that hindrances can be a blessing in disguise (my own version)? Well, it turned out to be true on the night of 27 September 2008 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There was supposed to be a peaceful candlelight vigil at Dataran Merdeka (Merdeka Square) where the tallest flagpole is located:



Unfortunately (or fortunately) the biased Malaysian Police barricaded the place and prevented the peaceful candlelight vigil from taking place at the planned location.



However, the demonstrators would not be deterred. They marched from the tallest flagpole in the world to the other end of Dataran Merdeka (junction of Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Tun Perak) along the Klang River and by the beautiful Masjid Jamek:





Thousands of demonstrators holding lighted candles and shouting "Mansuhkan ISA" (Abolish ISA) ended up at the other end of Dataran Merdeka at the junction of Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Tun Perak where it is busier and more visible and wherew they faced off riot police with guns, batons and shields:



Malaysian riot police with guns, batons and shields to counter peaceful demonstrators with only lighted candles as their weapons. Do we need such potentially violent countermeasures against harmless demonstrators without any weapons beyond little harmless lighted candles?



After a noisy demonstration at a very busy part of Kuala Lumpur, demonstrators slowly marched along Jalan Tun Perak towards the even more busy Pudu Raya:



I held a lighted candle too with no shield protecting my fingers from the hot melting wax. The melted wax solidified at my thumb until it fuses the lighted candle with my thumb and it can be held high above my head without me having to grip it with my fingers:



All in all, despite the presence of armed riot police, the candlelight vigil turned march is successful in demonstrating our feelings of revulsion against the draconian ISA (Internal Security Act) to the public as those places we were in were all very busy parts of Kuala Lumpur.

Hindraf Abolish ISA candlelight vigil - guns versus candles

Guns versus candles. Riot police with vicious batons and shields versus 2,000 peaceful demonstrators. Malaysians against the ISA (Internal Security Act) which allows detention without trial showed that they are not cowed by guns, batons and shields and held a peaceful candlelight vigil cum march through the streets of bustling Kuala Lumpur. Even an LRT (Light Rail Transit) train overhead slowed down to watch the demonstrators who were shouting various slogans such as "Mansuhkan ISA" (Abolish ISA), Hindraf Valga (Long Live Hindraf), Free RPK (Raja Petra Kamaruddin).



Demonstrators slowly moving from junction of Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Tun Perak towards Pudu Raya and the Hindu temple:

Candlelight Vigil abolish ISA Penang GMI

Message from GMI (Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA or Abolish ISA Movement):

---

The ISA has been an oppressive tool to silence the voices of justice and those who put their lives at stake to make Malaysia a better place.

It is time we say no to ISA for good. We condemn any act to vilify the citizens of this country. At present there are about 72 people held under ISA without trials. We are going to send letters, postcards and Raya cards for the detainees.

If you would like to send messages (Raya card, postcard or letter) to the detainees you can always come over and show your support.

Our actions will surely define whether it is a dawn or another pit of endless darkness, for the detainees and other Malaysians who rise up to defend what is right and just.

Candlelight Vigil for ISA Detainees by DAP & GMI

Above photos are courtesy of Malaysiakini

There will be 2 candlelight vigils tonight, Saturday 13 September 2008 in support of the three arrested under the draconian ISA (Internal Security Act) which allows for unjust detention without a court trail. The 3 are RPK (Raja Petra Kamaruddin), Teresa Kok and Tan Hoon Cheng, a Sin Chew journalist who reported the racist comments by Ahmad Ismail. It is grossly unfair that the one who uttered racist remarks is not arrested, but the one who reported it is. What kind of justice is this????

The 2 candlelight vigils are as follows:

The Paramount Garden LRT Station is also in Paramount Garden, for me, it is within walking distance, for the majority, the DAP Headquarter is too far to walk. It is very near to Seaview Restaurant and the 2 Caltex petrol station in Paramount Garden.
