101 East – ISA

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Another rally happened here in Malaysia which virtually brought the whole city into a stand still. I was not there but i sure was stuck in the massive jams which were cause by the authorities who clogged up the routes to the city center. But that aside, Al-Jazeera did their coverage on the rally and boy did it piss me off!

Remember this name Mohd Khairul Azam Bin Abdul Aziz, he is the Chairman, Pro-ISA Movement. According to him, the ISA is to protect the Malays who are the majority in Malaysia. Apparently, its to ensure that the Malays stay in power!? Dude! If this is the reason he is fighting for the ISA to be maintained, he needs a nice strong cuppa coffee! I know for a fact that many many Malays would disagree with him because this is extreme!

ISA : 13 More to be released

Friday, May 8th, 2009

4c7db194f44d0554f39e20b796e675ee

13 more ISA detainees will be released from the detention camp at Kamunting. This includes 3 other Hindraf leaders who are left after 2 others were released right after PM Najib toke on the leadership. The Kapar MP, S Manikavasagam was happy with decision and told the media :

I feel that what had happened in Perak has placed the BN government in bad light so this is the right time for them to make the announcement

This is defiantly good news and hopefully the review process of the ISA is a good one that will start doing what it was set out originally but personally i think that it shouldn’t be there in the first place as everyone deserves a shot at defending them selves in a court of law.

Malaysia-Today Interviews Home Minister

Friday, December 12th, 2008

art013029

This is a interview taken from Malaysia Today. Make sure you read the disclaimer after the interview and enjoy the interview.

Malaysia Today: YB, thank you for agreeing to an interview with Malaysia Today’s No Holds Barred column.

Yang Berhormat: Thank you for inviting me. It is very seldom that the alternative media would interview a member of the Cabinet so that we can set the record straight and correct the lies and wrong perception about the government, which are spread by the alternative media. Normally, the alternative media just reports rumours without obtaining the government’s side of the story. I congratulate the alternative media for becoming more mature in giving the government space to inform the public of the truth.

But before we start, I would like to offer my condolence to the Indian government on the recent tragedy in Mumbai. I thank God that Malaysia does not suffer such acts of terrorism, primarily because we have the Internal Security Act, which allows us to detain terrorist before they can cause any harm to society. This shows that the Internal Security Act has been very successful in maintaining law and order and in safeguarding the security of this country.

MT: Since you have brought up the matter of the ISA, YB, can we start by talking about that?

YB: Sure.

MT: The people criticise the ISA and…….

YB: Which people? The alternative media always talks about ‘the people’. But which people are you talking about? (more…)

While You Were Celebrating Deepavali

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Deepavali is the festival of lights which indicates the victory of good over evil. Most Malaysians had celebrations for this auspicious occasion however it was not all joy and fun. There is a group of people who were out there fighting for the rights and were sent to Kamunting via the ISA to detention without trial.

The Hindraf 5 were behind bars and were not given a opportunity to celebrate the joyous festivals. This next video is a interview with the wife of M Manoharan.There are families who are in grief over injustice that has hit their family and due to a cause for the well being of a nation. Can anyone say that Hindraf did not have a impact on March 8th? Are we slowly forgetting the sacrifice of the 5?

A must watch! What are your thoughts?

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

For those of you who think that the world is not watching our actions, think again. RPK has made Slashdot. He made the famous Hollywood blogger Perez Hilton last month as well. The world is watching the rubbish that is going on and whats the guarantee that if the shit goes on that we wont have foreign intervention?

Matter of time in my view if things dont improve

Happy 58th Birthday RPK

Monday, September 29th, 2008

27th Sept was RPK’s 58th birthday. Unfortunately the ace blogger cant celebrate his birthday with his loved once as he is being held without trial at Kamunting. His wife Marina and his daughters got the chance to meet the man at the detention center.

After reading the experience from RPK’s wife Marina, it struck me hard. Does he deserve what he is going through right now? This is a 58 year old man who is not in the best physical situation and all he did was blog? Yes maybe his articles were not the favourite of some but he just spoke his mind and if someone had a problem with it, why wasn’t he charged and given a chance to defend himself?

Below is what has happened (YOU HAVE TO READ IT) (more…)
