Last Sunday, vigilers who converged at the Lotus restaurant opposite the MBPJ hq where we’ve been ‘Anti-ISA vigiling’ for as long as I can remember, took a decision to put future vigils there on hold until we get a chance to get some clarification from both the Selangor state government as well as from the PJ city councillors.
You see, many of us feel that even as we have come out to show support for the Selangor state government’s declared anti-ISA policy, we have not received the kind of support from the state and PJ authorities that we thought ought to have been forthcoming.
We’ve decided to seek a meeting with both the Selangor state government and the MBPJ and depending on the clarification, if any, that we get, we’ll then decide where we go from there.
So, no vigil at the MBPJ tarmac this week and until further notice. For those who must, however, have the weekend fellowship that we have grown accustomed to, some of us will continue to meet at Lotus from 8pm to ‘keep the fire burning’.
RPK’s habeas corpus appeal by the Home Minister comes up for hearing on Monday, 23/2/2009, at the Federal Court in Putrajaya.
Leave your candles at home and head out to Putrajaya this coming Monday and join the many others who will be there to show solidarity with RPK.
In fact, how about getting your handphones out right now and send off the sms below to everyone you know :
RPK’s day at the Federal Court on 23/2/2009 may be his last day of freedom. Time to stand in solidarity with RPK. See you at the Federal Court, Putrajaya at 9am on 23/2/2009.

In his latest article, RPK announced that another quorum of judges will decide on whether the dismissal of his 4 applications was valid. This means Monday’s hearing will have to be postponed, right?

The PR govt. is not interested in the ISA detainees,all they are interested at that time was for their political mileage in getting out Theresa Kok and a bunch of their politicians.So now those who held the vigil feels like they are being a jackass.

We all are proud of your unflagging efforts to help us rally round our ‘flag’ RPK.Many thanks for your timely messages. Most of us are following your fine call, to spread the word of the trial on Monday, 23rd Feb. at 9.30 am, via SMSs. Most that I speak to are very much aware and sympathetic, others are definitely making efforts to be present. So there is awareness that RPK has to get off a free man!
I spoke with Enche Ainul of Almadiyah…he is informing his group and will also urge those who are free to attend. He agreed that prayers for RPK are just as important….the Almighty is definitely embracing RPK.
Enche Ainul will be contacting you soon.
Please would you find out, if transport can be shared to go to the Palace of Justice on Monday…. we may be able to get some feed-back on Sunday? Besides saving our roads fromthe usual congestion,that is part of Monday blues, it would certainly be nice to have some sort of commaraderie,by using car pooling . We can all chip in, to help the kind drivers, why not. All for the sake of showing ourselves at Putra Jaya on Monday 23rd and screaming, “It’s not over, till it’s over…..to strive, to seek to find and not to yield…God bless you RPK, Marina & family. We are thinking of you.

I expect to arrive at Putrajaya around 8:30 am.
Anyone, any new T-shirts available? If not, any spare I’m with RPK T-shirt, size XL?

It does not take the wisdom of a King Solomon for anyone to realize that the administration of Malaysian justice has degenerated into a joke – the laughingstock of a civilized society. From a justice that is without favour and fear and blind to colour, skin and status, it has morphed into a completely different animal altogether. Now it is a cross between a donkey and a kangaroo, sired by a once powerful but still living demigod who was fascinated with and dabbled in genetics engineering.
It is part donkey because its main characteristics are servitude, weak-mindedness, avariciousness and its sycophantic abilities as exemplified by conniving and weak-minded judges; a crafty and unprincipled Attorney-General; a castrated Anti-corruption chief and a goon Police chief.
It is also part kangaroo because of its naked power, greed, arbitrariness and selectiveness as symbolized by an unsavoury, scandal-proned Prime minister soon-to-be; an incompetent, irresponsible and powerful Home minister; and, ministers with unfettered powers above the ambit of the Courts. In sum it resembled a kangaroo justice system. Malaysian justice looks like and sounds like justice but is not justice. Outwardly, Malaysia has the biggest courts in the third world and a bloated justice administration but inwardly it is sheer manipulation, naked power, greed, vindictiveness, selectiveness, shifting-of-the-goalpost and a technicality game – anything but justice.
Here’s a checklist of how the Malaysian justice system works.
1) Who and what are you: if you are from the top echelon of the ruling party you are untouchable. For example, a coming emperor whose name was implicated in a grisly murder of a Mongolian beauty was not investigated, and those who were closely associated with him were not even been interrogated in the court proceeding which is still ongoing. Incriminating evidences and critical witnesses disappeared. All he has to do is to swear on the koran and it was accepted as gospel truth by the sitting judge. A lot of inconsequent judicial motions and moves took place but the prosecution team was programmed to loose the case.
2) Who do you know: if you are a member of the component parties in the BN group and is aligned with the power wielders you are safe from all investigations and prosecution. If you are not, you will become the sacrificial lamb in order to appease for the public’s call for blood.
3) Money talks: Malaysian justice is being commodified. The guardian of justice are making money out of it. If you are a businessman or a gangster you can pay yourself out of trouble. Rules and laws can be bent and modified for your convenience. Judges can be chosen and bought. The Royal Commission investigation in the Lingam case is ample proof. If you are an ordinary mortal, you can still buy justice: go to any BN MPs and they can intercede on your behalf, with some under-the-counter considerations enriching the enforcer.
4) Political enemies are always wrong: If you are a politician from the opposite camp you must be an angel. You must not be involved in the slightest wrongdoing. If you are, a ton of bricks will land on your head. The recent case of the Selangor MB is an interesting case. The MACC chief was not interested in the billion upon billion of ringgits that was reported and stolen by the BN politicians throughout the years but is only interested in the cow-and-car technicality case.
5) Frogs are welcome: If you are an opposition MP but not impeccable to corruption and sexual impropieties you will be targetted. But you can come out of your predicament and become a few million richer if you are willing to hop over to the other side. This is froggies’ season but be sure that the BN are still two-thirds short of power. Once that is achieved you are not welcomed anymore.
6) Doctrine of majority: As Nasri has commented in one of his interviews that something is not true if the majority in the kampongs do not talk about it in the coffeeshops. For example, if Nasri’s wife or daughter got raped in Chow Kit Road and if the newspapers do not carry the story so that the kampongs will not know and talk about it in the coffeeshops, then it did not happened! That’s Nasri’s logic. People in the urban areas might blog, demonstrate and get disgusted about an event but if it was not reported in the MSM to get the kampong folks excited, then the truth of the event is not there. So the tyranny of the majority applies in the arena of justice.
7) Only police reports of UMNO Youth is entertained: Yes, UMNO Youth reports against the Sin Chew reporter and Teresa Kok got swift retribution and landed them under ISA detentions. Kapal Singh and Lim Guan Eng was called up. Reports from the opposition against BN thieves are never entertained and will never see the light of day.
8) Attorney General and police have discretionary power of investigation: The AG and police can pick-and-choose what they want to be investigated. Anything that are not investigated even though they were the truths are assumed to be false and the courts will accept them as gospel truths. RPK’s case is a classic example of misplaced justice gone wild.

I hope all the best for RPK, his team of lawyers and Malaysian justice tomorrow.
This weekend I decided that more action is required to satisfy my rising anger at bad, unjust laws that are totally irrelevant and unnecessary to have anywhere in the world, including Malaysia.
Bad pretend things masquerading as acts of “laws” just because some sick b**tard decided to enact them for better power and control and unfortunately, happened to be in a privileged governance role to do the vile deed. Bad unjust acts like the ISA which are imprisoning people for no just cause and which are enabling innocent human beings like lawyer and human rights activist P Uthayakumar to be treated like an animal.
I do not, nor do I want, to recognise the validity or authenticity of any pretentious Act of law that does not conform, in form, essence, substance or spirit to the true and just principles and values and ideals of Justice and Law.
So from now on and until they are abolished, I will commit on one evening each week, probably on a Saturday or Sunday, to do my level best to disrespectfully stand/step on the two bad pretend uncivilised and undemocratic Malaysian “laws” that I detest the most, the Sedition Act, 1948 and the Internal Security Act 1960, and I will stamp on them both with me feet for as many times as I feel like doing so on those cathartic occasions.
As I am unable to get hold of more copies of these garbage acts for me to incinerate (think the SA costs RM5.00 and the ISA, RM10.00 per copy) I will be photocopying pages from the two disgusting, draconian Acts and I will ceremoniously burn the photocopies to register my disgust for them as I consider them to be evil heinous pseudo-laws made/implemented/used in extreme bad faith against innocents and citizens who usually have a conscience and which pseudo/bad acts are therefore, obscenely undemocratic, abhorrently unconstitutional, patently unjust and immoral as well, and which bad faith acts have been enacted by dishonourable men/women using their over glorified, pseudo and pretend powers.
I will not respect these unjust Acts nor will I subject myself to such nonsensical irrelevance and neither will I pretend to do anything remotely like that. Too many people have given up their lives to protect cherished fundamental freedoms such as one’s right to one‘s liberty without let or hindrance and other ideals worth fighting and giving up one’s life for. Ideals such as truth, liberty, equality, justice, democracy, rule of law, etc.
For those who do not have a copy of the ISA or the Sedition Act or have read their repugnant texts I have posted pages 1-4 of the ISA here and will try to post more of it later, to be published here at Haris’s discretion obviously.
Perhaps you will understand why I have opted to do this ceremonial burning to appease my anger at such injustice happening in the supposedly civilised and democratic country of my birth when I can see that there is ABSOLUTELY no need whatsoever for it to exist today other than that there seem to be people over there who are still allowing their mad government to spread its uncivilised excrement all over the people.
When Malaysia is one day truly free again from this uncouth UMNO/BN Government, and the new people’s government has repealed these heinous inhuman acts that now masquerade as examples of excrement “law” then I shall take great delight and pleasure in burning very ceremoniously the original copies of these two miserable acts which are telling examples of man’s (nearly always) inhumanity to man and woman (and children too).
When that moment arrives for that final act of symbolic incineration of these two disgusting Acts, I will celebrate that historic moment with the best bottle of champagne that I can afford!

An update on my plan last week to burn the disgusting ISA literally into cinders.
I photocopied the relevant pages I posted here and then tore them up while standing and stamping/dancing on the ISA and Sedition Acts, then put the shredded pieces into an urn and then I offered the pieces of paperpulp back to dear God by incinerating them outside my digs and scattering the ashes and dust from the burnt pages on to the ground to become hopefully, some good soil manure/plant-food to help push up some pretty flora.
I post the next few pages here of this excrement “law” which pages I will photocopy and incinerate again this weekend to produce some more good ash for plant-food.
