November 14, 2008

_____________________________________________
I want to say a big ‘Thank You’ to our elected reps in Selangor for leading the way amongst the Pakatan state governments in showing solidarity with vigilers who have been coming out to condemn the ISA and its contiued use to detain without trial.
Our reps have worked it so that we can continue to hold our vigil in the safety of the car park in front of the Civic Centre.
YB Gobind Singh and YB Dr Zulkifli Ahmad have confirmed attendance.
See you all on Sunday.

No matter how aggressive the Police are, lets spread the word to all citizens to take the soft approach. Appeal to their conscience as fellow Malaysians to do the right thing. Smile and give them flowers. It was suggested we give our National Flower to the police.
I remember watching People Power in the Philippines back in the mid-80s. Soldiers cried on receiving flowers from women and children.
BTW, my son Joshua (14) and I watched last Sunday’s video online. At the end, Josh asked why the police charged on people singing Negara Ku? Shouldn’t they be standing to attention too? :p We have hope! Most importantly, we teach our children never to face aggression with aggression. It never works. Let us all do the right thing.
See you this Sunday

REJECT FASCIST GOVERNMENT, REJECT MAHATHIRISM, REJECT ISA.

Wonderful! Where there’s a will there’s a way.
November 15, 2008 at 12:46 am
Let us all do it peacefully and gently. See you all there…
November 15, 2008 at 10:35 am
Bro,
Good to have it on, but just for this week, I would suggest two precautions to be taken care of, just in case there is a repeat of last week. First, I’d suggest no children for this week, otherwise BN will use that as an excuse to prosecute parents. Secondly, if there is a bark of order, everyone stop immediately and turn facing the cops.
November 15, 2008 at 11:13 am
haris, actually, i think Padang Timur also a good place. If the police block us, we just go inside A&W (another reason to eat:) the place is big enough for all of us. We can even sit on the A&W compound drinking our rootbeer shouting MANSUHKAN ISA!!!!
November 15, 2008 at 12:11 pm
See you there on Sunday!
November 15, 2008 at 4:36 pm
IT’S TIME, MY FRIENDS.
WE CAN AND WE WILL ABOLISH THE EVIL ISA.
WE CAN DO IT IF WE REALLY WANT TO; IF WE REALLY PUT OUR HEARTS AND MINDS TO IT.
I AM PROUD OF MY FELLOW MALAYSIANS.
I BELIEVE THAT THIS GENERATION WILL BE THE ONE THAT REMOVES THE SHACKLES OF ISA FROM ALL OUR FELLOW MALAYSIANS.
WE WILL NOT ALLOW SELF-SERVING POLITICIANS TO DESTROY THE HOME THAT WE LOVE.

>ALL THAT IS NEEDED FOR EVIL TO SUCCEED IS THAT DECENT HUMAN BEINGS DO NOTHING (EDMUN BURKE)]]
Probably a misattribution, though Burke did say something that COULD be summarized as such. It’s found, however, in a Russian film on Tolstoy, but because in that case it’s a translation the quote would be in the meaning, and thus not verbotim.

THE TERMINAL CANCER, UMNO NARJIS & SI BOTAK, MUST BE REMOVED BY SURGERY, AS CHEMO DOESN’T WORK ANYMORE, WHATEVER DEEDS DONE BY THE POLICE IS UNDER THE DIRECT GUIDANCE OF SI BOTAK UMNO, JUST THROW THEM OUT AS ALL RAKYATS OF MALAYSIA MUST UNITE TO THROW THEM OUT GIVEN THE FIRST CHANCE TO AVOID ANY FURTHER INJUSTICES TO BE COMMITTED BY THEM!!! ALL THE RAKYATS MUST PUT ALL THE BLAMES TO WHERE THE SOURCE OF DISCONTENT STARTED THERE IS SOME POINT IN BLAMING THE OVERZEALOUS POLICEMEN WHO MUST SUBMIT AS WILLING MOUTH SALIVATING DOGGIES TO THEIR PRESENT POLITICAL MASTERS!!!
EVERYONE KNOWS POLITICS IS DIRTY, BUT NOW IN MALAYSIA JUSTICES UNDER THE NEW UMNO ADMINISTRATION ESPECIALLY IN THE NEW ERA OF SI BOTAK AND NAJIS IS WORST OFF, THEREFORE MONGOLIA IS RIGHT TO BRING THIS CASE TO INTERNATIONAL COURT TO SEEK JUSTICE AND AT THE VERY LEAST THE EMBARRASSMENT TO THE UNFIT PRIME MINISTER IN WAITING OF THE GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA
THE POLICE & THEIR BRUTALITY AGAINST PEACEFUL CITIZENS IN A NEW ERA OF UMNO SI BOTAK & NAJIS FIT FOR THE SEWERS ONLY. THE SELECTIVE USE OF ISA SCARED AWAY CAPITAL INVESTMENT TO MALAYSIA IN A CAPITAL FLIGHT AND NEXT THE POLICE BRUTALITY AGAINST PEACEFUL RAKYATS UNDER THE DIRECT GUIDANCE OF UMNO SI BOTAK WILL SCARED AWAY THE TOURISTS VISITING MALAYSIA THAT IS THE NEW ERA OF NAJIS IN HIS IN WAITING ADMINISTRATION.
WHY Razak Baginda, the fall guy, with no further obstacles or hindrances in sight for Najis in his ascending to the Top Power, has now been released??? The real murderers whose identities are obvious but are still at large, with RPK detained under ISA but just released and PI Balasundram exiled overseas there are no other major obstacles and hindrances to Najis’ ascendancy to the pinnacle of his power come March 2009. This is only obvious that UMNO has now the final say in justice with their man Zaki as the Chief Justice. This is the obvious Justice of Malaysia, the laughing stock of the whole world, Malaysia should be boycotted by the world communities for their greatest injustices towards human rights and common normal justices. THIS IS MALAYSIA UMNO’S MALAY SUPREMACY AT ALL COSTS BUT GOING DOWN THE SEWERS WITH NAJIS, THE NEW PRIME MINISTER IN WAITING AFTER THE 51ST YEAR OF INDEPENDENCE.

Bro,
Paula Khoo, the organiser of Penang ISA vigil on Saturday night was officially arrested around 11.30 p.m. after being held at the police station since approximately 8.45 p.m. The vigil is attended by around 100+ people. I am a bit dissappointed with the turnout actually. A lot of those I called had cold feet due to the arrests at PJ. Come on people… what’s wrong with you all?
This is sheer intimidation to stop us from fighting for our rights. Let’s show our whole-hearted support for the vigils. I wanna make it to the PG vigil one of these days.

Good suggestion Melvin. See u there Bro.
November 16, 2008 at 8:37 am
Tonight might be a very HOT ONE! Please take the look news at Malaysiakini, it says
‘S’wak state rep leads 12,000 into PKR’
Some ******** out there are very PISSES OFF! as their corruptive RICE BOWL endanger.
Please bring more friends & relatives. We need HUGE MAJORITY! Only MAJORITY can stop these ******* abuse the power.
Bro Haris, you must take note on this. Melvin pointed out one very vital point here ‘Secondly, if there is a bark of order, everyone stop immediately and turn facing the cops.’
WE HAVE TO FACE THEM with FULL ALERT at all TIME!
November 16, 2008 at 8:40 am
Me and my indestructible spirit of the Katana will be there. And may the flickering light of our candles illuminate the conscience of those who lurks and watches us in the shadows.
November 16, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Hi, wondering if anyone can provide me the location map of civic centre so that I can join you guys next week? Can’t go there this evening due to the clash of time of a Chinese talk at The Mines. Thanks in advance!

Great to be there last night, Haris. Wanted to come shake your hand but you were too busy. Anyway, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your effort and steadfast spirit in speaking out against injustice. I wish more people could be like you….including me!
You are truly a “Mahatma”!
