This Sunday, 1st August, 2010, many of us will meet in solidarity at 8pm at the Selangor Dataran MBPJ ( Padang Timur ) to light a candle and renew our call to repeal the ISA.
In 2008, when our beloved RPK was taken to Kamunting, many of us met here in solidarity , calling for his and every detainees release, and for the repeal of this draconian and much abused law.
Last year, on 1st August, thousands thronged the streets of KL calling for the end to this law.
Join us in sending a message to the government that the rakyat have had enough of the ISA.
See you there.
Details of the vigil can be found on Facebook HERE.

Even if the majority[from umno and the ignorent ]love the ISA,it is still UNacceptable as it is against the expressed wish of TUHAN.
Just follow the will of GOD for that will story board for all storylines undertaken on earth.

How do we know what Tuhan wants?
How do we know Tuhan is against ISA?
Hmm …
No, I am not for ISA but when people says “Tuhan is against ISA” I need to take a step back and think.

We’ll be there to light our candles.
And the beams from our candles will carry our messages that we are peace-loving and that we all want the ISA to be totally abolished.
May God protect and bless our call to be courageous tonight.

Haris,
Syabas on all the Citizen’s efforts.
Just to share this…
June 22, 2005 Shocking Parallels Between The US Patriot Act & the Nazi Enabling Act – http://www.communicationagents.com/chris/2005/06/22/shocking_parallels_between_the_us_patriot_act_the_nazi_enabling_act.htm
….”Consider the following two statements, and see if you can identify the authors.
Statement Number One: “The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”….
…Statement Number Two: “To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists, for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve.”…
…The first statement is a quote from Hitler’s right hand man, Hermann Goering, explaining at his war crimes trial how easily he and his fellow Nazis hijacked Germany’s democratic government.
The second statement is a quote from Bush’s right hand man, John Ashcroft, defending the Patriot Act and explaining why dissent will no longer be tolerated in the age of terrorism. If that doesn’t send chills down your spine, nothing will….
….And what, pray tell, are we fighting for? Well, according to the White House, we’re fighting for freedom. Yet freedom is exactly what the White House is demanding that we now SURRENDER in the name of fighting terrorism.”….Unquote.

“When D R Seenivasagam spoke out against the passing of the Internal Security Act as an instrument of intimidation “50 years ago”, few realised how prophetic his words were, writes Tan Pek Leng.
At this time, “50 years ago”, the whole country was being geared up to celebrate the end of the horrendous 12-year “Emergency” that had taken an enormous toll on the lives of our people.
The Georgetown City Council, the only one then controlled by the Socialist Front, was the only local council in the country that refused to take part in the celebrations because the end of the “Emergency” was going to mean the start of a permanent emergency under the Internal Security Act (ISA).
Tan Phock Kin, the Socialist Front (SF) whip in the city council put it this way:
“With the advent of Merdeka, everyone looked forward with great hope to the ending of, at long last, the curtailment of liberty.
But what do we find? Laws become more arbitrary, regulations become even more restrictive. Is this then an occasion for rejoicing and merriment? I feel sure that all thinking people will agree that such an occasion should be one for mourning and not for celebration.”
On 22 April 1960, when then Deputy Prime Minister Tun Razak tabled the constitutional amendment that would enable the promulgation of the Internal Security Act (ISA) in Parliament, opposition leaders voiced their concern, consternation, and most of all deep fear.
The leader of the People’s Progressive Party, D R Seenivasagam, said that the new regulations were “ten times more fearful, ten times more deadly, than the Emergency Regulations”…Unquote.
If MAN does NOT WANT to WAKE-UP & NOT WANT to LEARN to take Positive Steps…
History will keep REPEATING itself & MAN will continue to be Sheeples aka Goyim!
Yes, we are the suckers that allowed the System to create our nation’s ills as well since 1969, so please wake up & get out of the Bolehland mindset to see the bigger picture!
You be the judge.
Cheers.

Mr. Joecharlie…..you are a right Charlie, which means someone stupid.
The light from the candle is just an outward sign….the true passion and life comes from within a person.
And these were the passionate sons and daughters of Malaysia who took part in a simple, rallying call for the abolition of the out-dated ISA.
And whose simple peaceful act was translated as disobedience by the authorities and stupid people like you, for instance.
These sons and daughters already have their brave names written down for posterity, in the anals of Malaysian history.
You better get it right!Go fly your stupid kite in someone else’s blog with your silly English.
