I got to the Sports Complex where the event was held so late that I missed out on the opportunity to share a meal with the more than 1,000 people who had gathered there that night.
Whilst the organisers had assembled many speakers for the evening, I don’t think that the was anything new that could be told to the audience about the ISA that they did not already know.
And you could gauge from the responses of the very appreciative audience the mood and the sentiment of the people.
Free all the ISA detainees.
Abolish the ISA.
No more BN.
People power.

Will BN release RPK, Hindraf 5 and the other detainees?
I’d love to wake up tomorrow to news that they’ve all been released, but sadly, I don’t think that’s going to happen.
Heard last night that at the PWTC open house, Jean Abdullah, in response to a plea from the wife of one of the Hindraf 5 detainees for their release, had said, ‘Very soon’.
There’s also been talk that some of the Hindraf 5 may be released. Another divide and rule!
And given that these are critical moments for Najib, I can’t see him being in any great hurry to see RPK writing freely again!
And even if all 64 detainees are released tomorrow, BN has made it clear that they will not abolish the ISA.
We’ve only one option in the short term if we are to see our brothers in detention released soon.
Pakatan Rakyat must take over federal governance as soon as possible.
And we must hold Pakatan to its promise to free all ISA detainees and repeal the ISA, along with all other reforms that they have promised us, culminating in the earliest possible fresh general elections.
The People's Parliament

How rightly put if there no change in govt, RPK and the rest will be in for a long time.

“..we must hold Pakatan to its promise..”
And that we will do. If they think for even one second that we will let them off the hook if they so much as go back on their word, they’ll have something else coming.
BTW Haris, great job in keeping tabs on the events going on. And thanks for all that you’re doing for us.

First, thanks to all that supported the event.
Second, to divide & conquer, UMNO will release Hindraf 5.
Third, Najis will not release RPK until he knows that RPK will not dig into his “issues” (which is never).
So, if UMNO could use religion to ISA RPK, then PAS must help in promoting that ISA is not Islamic. Without the extensive roadshows across Malaysia, ISA will be acceptable to muslims without them realising that Islam forbids detention without a fair trial.

No, RPK should not be in for a long time even if there is no change of govt. This is 2008, not 1988 and civil society has woken up that it is unacceptable to hold people without trial. We must keep up the pressure until they release RPK and the Hindraf5. Don’t let up!

Fr the response of the ISA forums & various candle vigils, I believe many people are concerned about RPK & the rest of ISA detainees eventhough they won’t be able to show their supports at PJ court tomorrow. If the crowd tomorrow is not big enough, that doesn’t mean RPK doesn’t have the supports. He does have, at least I know a few groups of his supporters from various states, including me who won’t be able to be there to show our supports tomorrow.
It’s good & very touching to see people showing their supports, love & respect towards RPK & his family. However, RPK is an experienced, mature,intelligent & sharp fighter with clear vision & direction,I believe people’s show of supports is not the main factor for RPK to carry on doing what he has been doing. If there’s show of supports, it’s an extra bonus to him; if there isn’t any, he will still carry on for he believes that’s the way a true Muslim should do.
I am amused to read in certain news reports that some people are trying so hard thinking it will upset him by giving him the false impression that he’s losing supports. These people are making judgement thru’ their narrow-vision & selfish mind. If you look out fr a tempurung, then your whole world will be just as big as a tempurung, kan ? Hence they can never understand RPK’s vision. They can never match RPK’s level of understanding in human right,righteousness and I am sorry to point out, neither can they match his level of understanding in ISLAM teaching. I also doubt those who condemn him of tarnishing Islam & using this as an excuse to put him in jail have actually read his articles on ISLAM; or probably tried but cannot understand ‘coz it’s in English; or may be never read but just based on hearsay; or worst still, probably have read, totally agreed ‘coz it’s the truth but somehow out of evil mind & underestimated Malaysians’ intelligence, hoping that Malaysians would approve & close both eyes when they put RPK in jail with such lousy excuses.
I must say RPK has given a very positive image about ISLAM & sharply pointed out how a true Muslim should behave. Didn’t his articles emphasize & explain in details on what were being taught by Prophet Muhammad
Prophet Muhammad Quotes :-
# Say what is true, although it may be bitter and displeasing to people
# The greatest enemies of God are those who are entered into Islam, and do acts of infidelity, and who without cause, shed the blood of man
# None of you really has faith unless he desires for his neighbor what he desires for himself.
# There are three signs of a hypocrite: when he speaks he speaks lies, when he makes a promise he breaks it, and when he is trusted he betrays his trust
# A man cannot be a Muslim till his heart and tongue are so
# Do you love your creator? Love your fellow-beings first.”
# Righteousness is good character, and sin is that which revolves in your heart and which you DO NOT WANT people to know.
# Righteousness is good morality, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in your soul and which you DISLIKE people finding out about.
#The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self
# Feed the hungry and visit a sick person, and free the captive, if he be unjustly confined. Assist any person oppressed, whether Muslim or non-Muslim
And don’t these people fear ALLAH……. ???
# When he dies, people will say, ‘What property has he left behind him?’ But the angels will ask, ‘What good deeds has he sent before him?
# It is your own conduct which will lead you to reward or punishment, as if you had been destined therefor.”
Need I say more ??? If you haven’t read his articles, and believe in what certain MSM’s accusation, it’s better late than never, go read now, analyse carefully, think thrice, and DO THE RIGHT THINGS !
Your mind & your action are two important factors to decide what kind of country you and your future generations will live in.
DO THE RIGHT THINGS, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE !!!!

Will it happen come October 13?
The fall of a giant or it is just speaking?
People on the ground hold baited breath
The wish of many for it to arrive
The sleeping giant turns and tosses
Eyes furtively darting for any slight movement
Arranging to make it really true
The palace of the Dark Hill shall not fall
Bargains and cross bargaining
Amongst its own kind averting the fall
They got it wrong
It is the ground that would decide
The throne chair to rule
The corridors of power
It seems quiet for sometime
Afraid of what will happen
Come October 13
A new play on stage
The wish of many for it to arrive

Why all the noise over RPK and HINDRAF??
There were other ISA detainees all along, some even longer than these 2.
Human rights or politics, hhmmmm …

How soon is ‘very soon’ before it’s ‘high noon’?
Will there be any answer by merely watching the moon?
How much longer must all wait before the real boon
When power is at times in the hands of goons or loons?

Dear omong, if I may venture my 2 cents worth…
Yes, the are others with even longer terms under ISA, and yes, they too should be accorded a trail in court. No denial there.
Is it politics now that the people are galvanized to protest because of Hindraf and RPK ? In the past, most citizen have not the awareness of the present…thats my personal view. The ever hanging threat of national security in all forms and manners, be it racial, sectaria, religious, idealogy, was always impressed upon the public by the ruling goverment. As such, most tend to accept the ISA as a necessity of the nation to maintain, harmony and security.
The Hindraf 5, RPK, Teresa Kok, and the reporter case is so unacceptable to so many, for it so blantanly demostrade a total abuse of the act to silence dissent and opposition, that now we have the public in an uprorar not only for RPK or Hindraf. They are just a rallying call, ( you know, like a mascot to a team ) again this is my personal view. Please do not get me wrong, all my tees and caps, and shirts HAVE NO ISA, follow by free RPK. You see, it rythms. I strongly believe that all detained is entitled to a fair trial in court. To detain any soul without trial in court, is not acceptable…no. So I hope that this reply of mine shows, at least for my part, does not reflects any bi partisan political bias.
As in any democracy, you reserved the rights to differ.
Again, here I goes…..
NO ISA , FREE RPK……….NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
