Still people detained under ISA in Kamunting 內安法令還是能用的

Think ISA is officially repelled in Malaysia? Think again! Last night's evening news, a group of people showing their support for the people detained in Camp Kamunting, who are protesting in the form of hunger strike.

The ISA had just been replaced by the new set of laws earlier this year, right? Well, that did not stop the power to be to continue detaining people under that law. Now detaining people with the law that had been officially repelled, only in Malaysia.

內安法令今年年頭已經正式被廢除了,對不對?現在在馬來西亞,還是有人在內安法令下被扣留在甘文丁扣留營。昨晚的新聞報導,在扣留營內的人在絶食抗議,一群公衆出來表示支持。

已經被廢除的法令還能用來扣留人?只在馬來西亞。

律師公會對428的說法The Bar Council's POV ON 4/28

昨晚的新聞,律師公會召開特大,要求政府針對428當天有律師和記者,以及公衆被警方毆打的指責作出回應,同時要求政府把涉及的人控上法庭*

* 本來是想用繩之以法的,要打字時才想到好久沒用,也好久沒見到這成語了;就不用了。

律師公會這回真的好硬。根據律師公會在閉門特大後的公開發言:
428當天下午3時多,公衆本來已經開始散去,當時警方却在回週包圍住公衆,不讓公衆離開,再發現催淚彈,之後再加上水砲。根本是警方自己以暴力對待和平集會,使得本來可以和平解散的集會以混亂收場。完全是在製造428不是和平集會,而是暴動的假像,企圖以此來污名化428。

當天有公衆被毆打,也有記者和去提供法律援助的律師被毆傷。警方企圖說這些人全是被出席集會的人毆傷的,但許多人把現場拍下的相片貼上網,使得警方的說詞全被揭穿,盡是謊言。當天在現場的電話和互聯網的網絡訊號連繫中斷,雖然當時沒有人出面指責訊號中斷,也沒有任何官方發表的說明,解釋當時爲何訊號中斷,所以訊號中斷的事要在律師公會的特大新聞報導才有記者提及。這種事能如此完全不被報導,要令人不懷疑和政府有關是很難的。

多家報館派去現場的記者被穿制服的警員毆打,不止報館本身有把記者被警方毆打的相片刋登出來,在網上有更多公衆把本身把到的記者被警方毆打的相片貼上網。在這種情況下,政府還能公開的說指責出席428的公衆,更企圖說警方當天完全是以符合專業的手法處理,將來臨的大選,馬來西亞人民只能自求多福了;政府是不可能讓人民贏的。

Last night, the 8 o;clock news, the Bar Council held an Emergency General Meeting, to discuss the issues about 4/28, Bersih 3.0. The meeting was a closed door meeting.

I was surprised by the tough stance the Bar Council hold this time. According to Bar Council, at the press conference after the meeting, on 4/28, the public was already dispersing sometime after 3pm, but they were actually surrounded by the police and had difficulty disperse away from their gathering points. And it was police, when totally unprovoked, started to fire tear gas, and then using the water cannons.

And on the newspaper, while reading about the Bar Council meeting, I first came across that on 4/28, the wi-fi and phone signals were interrupted. To say this has nothing to do with the government, hard to believe.

For the coming election, we the people of Malaysia, can only pray for our own safety. The One Najib is going to do whatever it takes to stay in power.

I want to say this is only in Malaysia, but looking at the news from other country, Malaysia must be listed as one of those countries ruled by dictators or/and living under draconian.

Please say a prayer for Bersih, for clean and fair election, we need it to stay sane, and to stay alive. Forget about speech freedom, being alive and sane definitely take priority.

Must be lots of sensors.

A Malaysian Indian, male, was charged by poilce for posting on his facebook wall a statement to kill all the police in Malaysia. Did not see his facebook. According to the news, he made it on 28th or 29th of April. And on 5th May, he was officially charged. Police knew his facebook posting almost immediately after he posted it. It is facebook, billions of users, and Malaysia police is so efficient in picking the right one out of them. The only answer is despite what the government is saying, that Malaysia does not censor internet, in fact a lot of manpower and computer power are being used to monitor the internet. There is no other explaination. And the quick action to book the man is to act as a warning to the entire population.

電視新聞報導,有名印度裔的馬來西亞男子在其本身的 facebook 上貼文說要殺死所有的馬來西亞警察。沒上網去看,反正在新聞報出的時候,那帳號已經被封閉了。我這種看新聞才知道的人當然是找不到的了。

新聞報導說:他是在4月28~29日之間貼文的。4月30日就有報導了,說警方要找他協助調查,也就是通緝他了。奇怪的是,這人很出名嗎?怎麽才貼文上去,政府就知道了?可是我在網上找他的名字,根本就沒沒無聞。

合理的解釋是:馬來西亞政府有很多人在監視網絡活動,所以這種貼文很快就有人看到。那政府說的甚麽不會監管網絡,根本是在騙人的。

5月5日這男子已被帶去警局落案,就快被控上序。如此快的動作,肯定是要起殺雞儆猴之效。

還有人敢相信第十三届大選會公平廉淨嗎?能平安的去投票?政府肯嗎?會不會重演菲律賓的戲碼?當年馬可斯倒台前的計票過程,計票中心的員工流淚出走,在外面說政府在作幣。這一幕會在馬來西亞上演嗎?

Aftermath of 28th April

It is almost a week since Bersih 3.0, on 28th April, and we still see and hear news about it on the media. And it is clear they the government is working real hard to scare those who support Bersih 3.0. Case in point:
Just reading The Sun Daily, 4th May 2012 edition, and the headline is Higher Education Ministry to help police in hunt.

Hunt what? The university students who attended the rally.

Huh? Malaysian government really is taking this seriously, those students will be hunted down like ... like they committed what? murder? high treason? 2 government departments are joining forces in the hunt, such a big effort, and where are they when people complain they have to barricade their neighbourhood, with their own money because the crime rate is high, real high?

Now back to the hunt for those students, according to the official stance, they had committed offences against Malaysian laws. We have UUCA Universities and University Colleges Act, and good students should be law abiding citizens too. But why just voicing their opinion is against the law? Because they are universitiy students, and they are governed by UUCA, because this is Malaysia, this is the Malaysian way.

Only in Malaysia.
