MALAYSIANS FACED WITH 'FEAR'


Since yesterday, news of ISA been used to detain political opponents have been heard. The first casualty was MalaysiaToday blogger, Raja Petra Kamaruddin for his article that the ruling government and religious bodies claims has insulted Islam.

The second casualty is Sin Chew senior reporter, Tan Hoon Cheng, for her news coverage during the eve of Permatang Pauh parliamentary by-election where she wrote a news that UMNO Bukit Bendera division chairman, Datuk Ahmad Ismail had mentioned that the Chinese community in Malaysia were mere 'squatters or lodgers' and should not claim for equal treatment. Datuk Ahmad was subsequently suspended by UMNO for 3 years but no action according to the law was undertaken for his sensitive seditious statement.

Thirdly, DAP Member of Parliament and Senior Selangor State Executive Councillor, Teresa Kok was detained due to Malay dailies reporting that she had told mosque officials in Kota Damansara, Sri Serdang and Puchong Jaya to tone down the call to prayer, which she had denied any involvement.

To the surprise of many, the makers of this false statements and reports who had incited racial hate have not been punished but innocent people who are not UMNOputras were detained under the ISA for performing their duties.

It is expected that the ruling Barisan Nasional government which is faced by internal troubles and with the Opposition claiming to topple them by September 16, seem to use this situation to make the rakyat to rise and cause a ruckus so that their actions can be justified, no matter what those actions may be, the rakyat must stand their ground and choose to choose peace.

Then, their plot will not survive.

Malaysians are eagerly awaiting for a NEW DAWN to emerge.

datuk lim was very wise when he urged the rakyat not to act with over emotion on this matter because he felt that this is bn's plan to make the rakyat to go for public demo.

if this is the case, bn will has the perfect excuse to implement emergency rule and make arrest especially on oppostion leaders under ISA and thus, NO MORE OPPOSITIONS to take-over or form government FOREVER!!!

the rakyat will then be at the mercy of this barbaric nationalists in terms of livelihood especially on the economic front (the low & medium wage will suffer while those especially the bn will become richer than ever!!)

when hamid said 'no more arrest until further notice' , i doubt it very much. who knows the next target might be the 4 oppositions who went to taiwan may get arrested upon landing on malaysian soil under ISA again !! the reason is simple: to blame them for instilling chaos !!

the real culprit in my opinion is the ones who used ISA as a cover-up of their cowardness or insufficient evidence to charge these people in OPEN COURTS!!

i think there will be lots of reasons why the die-hard bn voters will now re-assess bn's rule of law. ISA is not the best option but on the contrary, its the worst concept for whoever to implement it!!

its not too late to put bn back on track by releasing the detainees under ISA to be charge in courts so that the rakyat will know and is proud that the present BN is REALLY GOING FOR JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS TO ALL no matter of races or oppostions as ALL ARE MALAYSIANS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY , ALL ARE HUMANS who can ERR BUT DARE TO ADMIT REMORSEFUL AND BE APOLOGICAL TO BECOME A BETTER HUMAN !!

so i appeal to bn to review & revise its stand on ISA detainess so that we the rakyat can and will be PROUD THAT YOU ARE NOT ELECTED WRONGLY BY US!!
