Malaysia country of law breakers because of Police Act 1967

Article 10 of the Police Act 1967 make assembly of 3 or more people in a public place without a police permit a "criminal?" act. Just look around you. Every second of the day, there are lots and lots of people gathered together in a group of 3 or more in public places. All these people are committing an offence under the Police Act. Can you name any able body Malaysian citizens or residents who have never assembled in groups of 3 or more in a public place?

This ridiculous act not only make law breaking a daily affair in Malaysia. It has made lots of events an illegal affair. Not only that, the Police are selective in their enforcement of that ridiculous act. Assembly of people sympathetic to the ruling government are allowed without hindrance. Assembly of people to voice dissent are nearly alway disrupted and not infrequently, participants arrested.

Is Malaysia a Police State. I think it is almost one.

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.”

Compare it with a video shot during the melee:

Police brutality don't respect National Anthem

The Malaysian Police showed their brutality and lack of respect for the National Anthem. The first video will show peaceful Malaysians singing Negara Ku before dispersing. The second video will show the FRU charging at peaceful Malaysians while they are still singing Negara Ku.

Video 1: Malaysians commemorating the anniversary of the historical BERSIH rally in front of Amcorp Mall

Peaceful Malaysians gathered at Amcorp Mall after being dispersed from Dataran Petaling Jaya (Padang Timur). Haris Ibrahim led participants in singing Negara Ku before being dispersed.

Peaceful Malaysians singing Negaraku being suddenly charged at by Malaysian Police

This video showed the FRU (Federal Reserve Units) charging at a peaceful crowd singing Negara Ku at Civic Center, MBPJ (Majlis Bandaran Petaling Jaya)

Police brutality BERSIH Remembrance rally cum anti-ISA candlelight vigil

Will rearrange, edit and update later. Going to Police Station Section 8 Petaling Jaya to check how those who were arrested are faring.












Tonight is a night that Malaysians should not forget. It is a night when police acted brutally against peaceful Malaysians. Malaysians had gathered peacefully at Dataran Petaling Jaya (Padang Timur) but were driven to Amcorp Mall. At 9.30pm Haris Ibrahim dispersed the crowd so as not to clash with the FRU gathered there. However, a group marched separately to Civic Center (MBPJ) where they gathered to sign the National Anthem Negara Ku and to release balloons. Before they could finished, the FRU charged and dispersed the crowd. The police has no respect for our national anthem. They charged at the crowd while they were still singing Negara Ku. They arrested a number of the peaceful Malaysians gathered there. I read at Malaysiakini Tony Pua was not only arrested, he was man handled and thrown into the FRU truck.

For heaven sake, these are peaceful Malaysian gathered for a good cause. Shouldn't they be better deployed to catch Mat Rempits, robbers, rapers, swindlers?

Corrupt Judges should be tried

What we had suspected all along is now fact. Chief Justice Zaki Azmi admitted that 2 judges were corrupt. Now the big question is, how come corrupt judges are not charged for corruption and tried in court?

Candlelight vigil at Dataran PJ

Below are my album of photos taken at the candlelight vigil at Dataran Petaling Jaya. You can view the whole album at Candlelight vigil album:

Flags of USM and USA

Look at the 2 flags above. Don't you see a similarity? They are the "flag of USM" and flag of USA.

Now all will know what country is USA. That is the United States of America. That is a country which witnessed a historical event, the election of the first black President to head their country. A country which used to practice blatant racialism and racial discrimination. A country which have left their sordid racial history behind and voted into office a President based on merits, not on the color of the skin.

But what on earth is USM? Is it Universiti Sains Malaysia? No, it is a new country United States of Malaysia (in my dreams anyway - sarcasm), a country which like USA had a blatant racial past but which too had put its sordid racial past behind and elected its first Prime Minister who is not from the Malay Muslim majority but from a minority group and who have renamed Malaysia as the United States of Malaysia (USM) to distinguish the old racial Malaysia with the new progressive Malaysia.

Is that impossible? No, not if you believe Abdullah Badawi, the current lame duck Prime Minister of Malaysia, for after all, Malaysia's Constitution did not specify that the Prime Minister of Malaysia must be a Malay Muslim. Let us keep the dream alive.

Celebration RPK freedom cum BERSIH anniversary

This is jumping the gun as we do not know yet if the Police will rearrest RPK (Raja Petra Kamarudin) but let us be optimistic.

Let us make a a celebration of RPK release from ISA detention cum BERSIH anniversary celebration. No, let us go 1 step further since there are still many, especially the HINDRAF 5, still under ISA detention. Let us make it a 3 in 1 event - Celebration of RPK freedom cum BERSIH anniversary cum Anti-ISA candlelight vigil. Make sure you come to Dataran Petaling Jaya this Sunday 9 November 2008 at 8.00pm

Indonesia Bill Against Racial Discrimination

Indonesia on Wednesday 5 November 2008 passed a Bill Against Racial Discrimination, classifying racial discrimination as serious crime punishable by imprisonment. Leaders of public institutions which adopt discriminatory policies would face jail sentences. With a single bold step, Indonesia has now spurted ahead of poor Malaysia whose government practices racial discrimination.

Bersih Anniversary cum Candlelight Vigil at Dataran Petaling Jaya

Puzzled where on earth is this Dataran Petaling Jaya? It is what others called the Jalan Timur Padang. It is the open field beside the A&W Drive-in and opposite Amcorp Mall and very near to the Taman Jaya LRT Station. I spotted the signage that gave this not widely known name for Jalan Timur Padang. There will be a very special event there this Sunday 9 November 2008. Monday 10 November 2008 is the first anniversary of the historical BERSIH Rally. This will be celebrated one day before this coming Sunday 9 November 2008 at Dataran Petaling Jaya jointly as an Anti-ISA candlelight vigil. The BERSIH anniversary will probably be at 8.00pm while the candlelight vigil will probably commence at 9.30pm. I will be there with my BERSIH T-shirt. Hope to see you there. Location map below:

Goodbye most world unfriendly President ever

Great news. Barrack Obama is now the President-elect of the United States of America. Say goodbye and good riddance to the most world unfriendly President ever and also the world's most environmentally unfriendly President.

Obama sense full citizenship

Will we anak-anak bangsa Malaysia ever experience a sense of full citizenship like the like the previously disenfranchised citizens of the United States of America are feeling right now after the historical victory of the first black President elect of USA?

"The first thing Obama's presidency means for black people is, at least momentarily, a sense of full citizenship,' said Dr Melissa Harris-Lacewell, a political science professor at Princeton University"

Amy statement is relevant to issue: Najib next Prime Minister of Malaysia?

The statement by Ms Burmaa Oyunchimeg (Amy) that she has seen a photo of Najib together with Abdul Razak Baginda and the late Altantuya is relevant to the issue of whether Najib is fit to be the next Prime Minister of Malaysia or not. This statement had never been disputed and if it had never been disputed, one must assume that what Amy said is true, that Najib had a dinner with Abdul Razak Baginda and the late Altantuya.

Proposal: expand cake increase Malay quantum

I am sick of hearing all the quarrels over the 30% in public listed company for Malays. I propose that we just concentrate on increasing the cake and this will allow the Malays to get richer and not worry about the percentage. I did not state it properly. Maybe I will give it further thoughts and rephrase it later.

Najib buys billion ringgit helicopters sight unseen

Well, almost. The Malaysian government and the Defense Ministry (Najib was the Defense Minister) had wanted to purchase 12 helicopters from Eurocopter at RM1.6 million (that is RM1.6 x 12 = RM19.2 million) without even bothering to inspect them. It probably would have happened if not for the hue and cry raised by the public and the oppositions. And the price. Is it RM1.2million per helicopter or RM1.6million. Apparently, they are not even sure of the price
Would you buy a RM50,000, or maybe RM60,000 (not sure) car sight unseen? Well, the Malaysian government, would going by what is revealed by the probe by PAC. Abu Seman Yusop, the Deputy Defense Minister admitted it during a his Budget 2009 winding-up speech in the Malaysian Parliament.

The news was reported in Malaysiakini. Would it be reported in theStar? I doubt it. This piece of news is still missing from theStar online. Let us see if it gets reported tomorrow,

MCA: Ali Rustam UMNO dictates. MCA don't count

To all MCA officials and members. Ali Rustam said UMNO must dictate government policies. That means MCA doesn't count. MCA is in Barisan Nasional as wall paper for decorations. You can make all the noise you want it wouldn't make any difference because UMNO will tell you what to do. Where is your dignity?
