What's wrong with lighting up candles?

-
We would like to forward this question to the authorities. What is wrong with lighting up candles in a smooth and peaceful candlelight vigil to mark our displeasure over the draconian Internal Security Act (ISA) and its law of detention without trial?

From what we had observed, all those participants who came forward to form a very peaceful candlelight vigil came from all walks of life, ordinary people, professionals, bank employees, factory workers, accountants, businessmen, housewives, mothers and the elders.

These are all ordinary Malaysian citizens who are concerned of the well-being of their nation where they are born and grown up. They concerned of the future of their country, they are all concerned of the future of their children, their grandchildren and their next generations to come.

And that is why they were all at the candlelight vigil nationwide yesterday to express their displeasure over the harsh and draconian ISA which must be abolish at all cost.

The authorities, particularly the police and the home ministry are saying that lighting a harmless candlelight in group at night is wrong, while those extremist who uttered racist remarks, coupled with threats to incite racial hatred and unrest to our nation are right.

We do not understand why the police allowed all those "supreme" extremist to act above the law and disallowing peace loving people from initiating gathering for a positive cause.

It shows that the police are definitely taking sides and made use of the name "law and order" to protect their undemocratic and uncivilized actions. They had in fact emulated the Gestapo kind of policing in this country. The Umno-led BN's Fascist regime is now in making in order to enforce and turn our entire nation into a Fascist state so they could remain in power forever.

The authorities uses the "law" to act against the opposition members and the general public when they tried to voice their concerns for our nation and when those Putrajaya-backed extremists tried to challenge the law and order of our nation by inciting racial tensions, hatred and violence to threaten our people, the authorities did nothing but instead allowed them to continue to further destroying the country.

Where is justice? None at all! For the sake of our generations, let us all show BN the exit door when the time comes.

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo. Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself. Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year. It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just...

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Federal Constitution that Safeguards the Legitimate Rights and Interest of All Malaysians

The provisions of the Federal Constitution are very clear. It confirmed the position of the Malay Rulers, Islam as an official religion of the federation and special position of the Malays and the natives in Sabah and Sarawak whilst recalling that those provisions balance those special positions with safeguards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the other communities in Malaysia which also includes their right to profess and practice their religions freely without being fear of any threats or being harmed by anybody. The legitimate interests of the non-Malays and non-Muslims would include, amongst others: a) Article 153 (9) says that business or trade cannot be solely reserved only for the Malays, b) Article 3 (1) says that the official religion of the federation is Islam BUT other religions are also allowed to be practiced in peace and harmony in any part of the federation. This means, the other communities too have their fundamental legitimate rights and interest here ...
