Your MP's Question of the Week #26

by

UPDATE, 13-9-2008: Malaysiakini reports that “Journalist Tan Hoon Cheng was released this afternoon and is now back at her house in Bukit Mertajam, Penang.”

How is Malaysia going to face the world with such draconian acts?


L-R: Raja Petra Kamarudin, Tan Hoon Cheng, Teresa Kok (courtesy of Malaysiakini)

At about 1.00 p.m. today, Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK) was arrested and detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA). If RPK has committed an offence then the Government should charge him in Court. DETENTION OF ANY CITIZEN UNDER ANY PREVENTIVE LAW WITHOUT A FAIR TRIAL CAN NEVER BE JUSTIFIED IN A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY! All Malaysians should hang our heads low in shame for allowing such a draconian act against a citizen to happen in the 21st Century.

ISA is the most draconian law, which was enacted to curb communism during the period of insurgency in the 1960’s. Such ISA should not be used during peace time and should be repealed forthwith.

  2. Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, the first made mad!

    Let’s pray that good sense will prevail and Malaysia lives down this day of shame.

    Take care, YB
    KH

  4. Sesungguhnya mereka telah merancang tetapi mereka lupa yang Tuhan adalah perancang yang sebenar…

    Mereka pasti gagal untuk mengatasi perancangan Tuhan….

  5. The detention of RPK and others is more FREEDOM under Badawi’s administration!

    What freedom? It was a FRAUD from the very beginning. Badawi should detain all Malaysians and stay in power.

    I have have had enough of Bodohwi. Have you?

    MCA, Gerakan and MIC are just big jokes!!! Let them be in BN and Malaysians shall teach them a good lesson.

  6. I guess the government has to behave just like the way the American thunmb their nose in Guantano Bay through the Patriot Act or like the UK where similar act was also introduced…

    maybe we are indeed moving on track towards a developed country status… ala the American or the Brits..

  7. [UPDATE – Teresa was taken to Wangsa Maju Police Station from the condominium and at 2.50 a.m (13th September 2008), she left the Wangsa Maju police station and was taken to the an unknown custody centre where she would be held for her police custodial detention which could be up to 60 days. After that, it is up to the Home Minister to decide whether to issue a formal order of detention without trial, which could be for two years, renewable indefinitely]

  8. Aiyoyo, the BN is doing more wrong day by day. They are their own enemy.

    The Sin Chew reporter ah do no wrong lah. She is only doing her job. The person wrong is that Datuk Ahmad Ismail for saying what he says lah. If what he says is not true then why Najib apologise to the rakyat? Where is the logic one?

    With more and more of this nonsense happening BN is going down faster you know. From my recearch I talk to the rakyat about 90% want the new government to take over.

    Can Anwar please move faster ah? We rakyat cannot tahan alreadi. Please lah, Pakatan Rakyat hurry. Thank you.

  10. Zaman sekarang tak sama dengan 1969.

    Rakyat BUKAN BODOH lagi.

    BN boleh buat apa2 saje tapi rakyat tak peduli. Rakyat tunggu dengan tenang untuk DSAI mengubah kerajaan.

    Datuk Seri, boleh kah cepat sikit?

    Hidup rakyat Malaysia! Hidup Pakatan Rakyat!

  11. Saya tak nak ceritalah pasal pak lah lagi.dia dah gone caselah.tapi mana anwar ibrahim,janji nak selamatkan kita pada 16 sept.sekarang tukar date pulak.saya berharapkan perubahan dan jangan main2 dengan janji kalau tak anwar pun akan dilihat 2×5 saja dengan pak lah

  12. Our country is a small insignificant country like Myanmar. No one will help us if BN decides to rule this country like how the military rule Myanmar.

    From today onwards, Thailand & Indonesia governments are better than ours. Ours is on par with Myanmar government.

  13. I hope we all will continue to remain in peace. Do not fall into the trap of the evil one. Let us see changes in a peaceful way. Show to those evil, we wont be like them.

  14. Obviously the whole drama has been pre-planned to invoke anger and protest from the Rakyat – make the wrong move and they will declare Emergency – March 8 will be made irrelevant….The whole thing does not make sense esp Teresa Kok’s arrest – for something that she wasn’t even involved! So be careful, don’t be tricked this time…..

  15. I’m sure Teresa Kok will be out soon, with all that pressure..

    Mr. Wee, I was in Tj Sepat and was so taken up when I saw the crowd..
    The free dinner by the local folks really showed that the grassroots want that change…
    I’ve taken quite a number of pictures of the ‘Historical’ occassion..

    I’m sure Anwar will make it on the 16th or so, altho’ many are doubtful, but still we’re prepared to wait, and our worry is about what the monkeys may do next….

    Hope all turns out well… All our Churches are offering special prayers for the Dawning of a New Era for Malaysia..

    Best wishes….

  16. The country have have had enough of Bodohwi’s administration. Lets work together to get rid of this piece of shit that has caused the country misery.

    Bodohwi, aren’t you ashamed of yourself after the several electoral defeats or are you still in the state of denial syndrome?

    I hope that GOD will help Malaysia to get rid of the Sleepy Head as soon as humanly possible. Malaysia cannot afford to have the Sleepy Head sitting there and do nothing constructive except by taking care and protecting of son-in-law.

    Sleepy Head please carrying sleeping and if possible don’t wake up!!

  17. I think you do have friends as BN MPs. Please speak to them and tell them they can no longer be part of AAB govt if they have any conscience left.

    To BN MPs..how can you support a govt that bullies it own citizens? arresting a reporter and not arresting the dickhead that started it all?

  18. This is the beginning of the down fall of an useless leader. We stop this stupid PM from making his problems in UMNO to become the rakyat problems.

    Let all join hands to get rid of the Sleepy Head and his members of he family, who are the national menaces.

  19. i read in the papers that when the PDRM was asked why Ahmad Ismail was not picked up, the reply was that the PDRM have not finished the investigation.

    When was there an investigation on Ms. Tan and Ms. Kok?

    There are too many coincidences. 2 PKR assemblymen’s corruption case in Perak, 2 DAP assemblymen in Perak have their image transposed onto pornorgraphic images, wasting of OUR money to put MPs in Taiwan and now this.

    The explanation by Hamid is not acceptable. We do not use an anti-terrorist law to protect a honest tax payer doing her job while the other offending person still walk around unrepentent and even upping the tempo

    Put this situation in a form 5 pendidikan moral question and I have no answer. You can’t rationalise and justified an irrational and unjustifiable stupidity.

    Even the officials in the mosque spoke in support of Teresa Kok. Well, Teresa has just secured her seat again in the next GE.

  20. ??????1????????RPK????????????????RPK????????????????????????????????????????????????????21????????????????????????????

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  21. saya pun terpikir mana janji2 yg ditaburkan ……mana anuar…. tukar tarikh utk kerajaan pakatan………atau janji politik sahaja…..

  22. DSAI hanya merancang, Allah yg menentukan..walaupun xjadi 16 sept ni..mungkin pd tarikh lain kerajaan akan bertukar..harus diingat DSAI bkn Yang Maha Kuasa. kite harus sabar menunggu semoga Allah dpt mberi DSAI memerintah Malaysia dgn adil.

  23. Many people are angry for selective prosecution by the govt of the day! The fear within us of ISA is not as before because the peoples wanted change and the perceive change is coming too slowly with so many things at prices beyond the reach of many.

    With internet information today, it is impossible for the govt to cover up wrong decision or framed up charges. There may be many civil servants who are righteous and with conscience to stand up against the evil scheme by providing information of value to the bloggers at large.

    Let us not be cowed by the use of ISA to intimidate those who dare stand for citizens when the racists are only given a slap on the wrist. The speed of police investigation into many reports by opposition members are moving like a slow coach whereas trump up charges against Ms Teresa Kok landed her in jail via ISA.

    Note that even the mosque officials confirmed that she was not involved and this incident started in Jan 08 even before she was elected for Puchong. So someone acting as ‘smart alex’ is trying to cause trouble and interestingly police report against the former MB of S’gor is moving at a snail pace.

    Maybe they need to be thorough with their investigation, some may say but why so many COINCIDENCES lately ? At the rate the bn govt is going, there is no need for opposition lah. They will just disintegrate and have not enough majority to rule this nation soon.
