Victims of crimes being arrested instead

-
Did you realize that victims of crimes were being arrested here? Why? Because they held the truth firmly in their hands and hearts.

Selangor State Executive Councillor Teresa Kok was arrested and detained under the ISA after she lodged a police report against former state Umno chief Dr Mohd Khir Toyo who accused her of instigating non-Muslims to demonstrate against the loud azans of a mosque in her constituency. The bilal of the mosque had later came out in her defense, clearly denying that she had ever involve in an attempt demonstration against the loud azan of the mosque. The police did not take Dr Khir Toyo into custody because he is closely associated to the then home affairs minister Syed Hamid Albar.

The then Bukit Bendera Umno division chairman Ahmad Ismail made a seditious speech during a by-election campaign in Permatang Pauh, Butterworth by calling the Malaysian Chinese as "pendatang" and mere temporary residents of Malaysia. Sin Chew reporter Tan Hoon Cheng, together with some of her counterparts attended the Ahmad's ceramah and reported the incident in their newspapers on the next day. Hoon Cheng was then arrested and detained under the ISA after Penang Umno liaison secretary Azhar Ibrahim publicly threatened to shot her at point blank with a gun for reporting Ahmad's seditious remarks in the newspaper.

Then recently, Teoh Lee Lan the younger sister of Teoh Beng Hock who was found murdered in the Selangor MACC headquarters was arrested in Galas, Gua Musang together with her brother-in-law during her public awareness campaign after she, her relatives and friends were assaulted by MCA militiamen. The police took Lee Lan and her brother-in-law into custody after they lodged a police report against the MCA militiamen for assaulting them.

Here, we could clearly see that the victims the crime were arrested, while the criminals are still free out there to harass anyone they like. Where is justice then? These three ladies were victims of crimes and they were all being arrested or detained instead. What about those real criminals? They are being protected because they are members of a very powerful political party?

One of my friends did told me about if an event happen like, if he is being assaulted or being robbed and he lodge a police report, will he be arrested instead? Funny question isn't it? But it is happening here in Malaysia and it is going to happen again.

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.

No action against YBs without speaker's consent

-
Penang assembly Speaker Law Choo Kiang said the police and attorney-general (AG) cannot prosecute any elected representatives for any wrongdoings committed in the House. Law said the authorities cannot act on the assemblypersons without the agreement of the speaker. "So this clearly cancels the (planned) charge against Seri Delima assemblyperson RSN Rayer for sedition under the 1948 Sedition Act," the PKR Bukit Tambun assemblyperson said in a statement yesterday. Law said a warning based on the assembly's standing orders has been issued to Rayer not to repeat the remark "Umno celaka" (damned Umno), which the latter allegedly uttered in the House on May 20. Based on the standing orders, the 10 disgruntled Umno assemblypersons were also told to table an emergency motion to the Penang special assembly committee to deal with their indignation over Rayer's remark, Law added. "But Umno failed to obtain enough quorum or votes for the motion, so they couldn...
