Cops to begin crack down on Bersih 3.0 but who will act against errant cops?

-
The police today had released a list of 49 persons wanted in connection with their participation of the recently concluded Bersih 3.0 which was held in Dataran Merdeka on 28th April 2012 last week.

Looks like the police would begin their witch hunting all those who gathered for Bersih 3.0 soon, starting with 49 persons identified via various pictures and it is expected that more arrests would soon take place.

The problem is, the police will commence their crack down on our people soon, but who will then "crack down" on all those errant police personnel and officers who did all sorts of action which are against the law and human rights? Is there any independent source that would professionally validate and verify that all necessary actions has been taken against all those indiscipline policemen for their negative actions on that day? The answer is no. There is none.

Yes, we heard the police top officials said so many times in their press release that they would also go after all those errant policemen who had gone out of control on that day which include police brutality, police violence, using live ammunitions against unarmed people, driving police patrol cars against the crowd thus endangering the people's life without any reasons whatsoever and so on.

That is why this nation is in need of an Independent Police Complaints and Misconducts Commission (IPCMC) to conduct all kinds of investigations and public inquiries against the misdeeds of the police force. Right now, whom could we trust to ensure the police force also adhere by the law, order and the human rights charter?

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.

The former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's assumption that Malays in Singapore had failed and their neighbouring Malays should take lesson from their plight has not impressed a Singaporean daily. The republic's Malay daily Berita Harian in an editorial said Malay-Muslims in the republic state were successful and it was a result of their real efforts and hard work in line with the values of meritocracy, not a result of being spoon-fed. “We do not believe in being spoon-fed or being too dependent on the government - in other words, we do not have a crutch mentality,' wrote editor Guntor Sadali. Guntor said Singapore Malays believed that a community with such a mentality would soon become a “two M” community, which stands for ‘manja’ (spoilt), and ‘malas’ (lazy). “We definitely do not want to be labelled as a pampered and lazy community,” he said, adding that the Malay community in the island raised their own funds to build Islamic schools, mosques and other community pro...
