P/s This blog shall remain silent for the next few days in honour of all ISA detainees and the detainees of other preventive laws that deny the right to a free and fair trial. As we celebrate the holidays, spare a thought for them.

Joke to lighten up the day.

One Mr C sent me this joke . Real funny one , I tell you! Thanks Mr C

One Of A Kind

Mahathir was so disappointed with his cabinet for being inefficient and corrupt that he decided to call on Goh Chok Tong and ask him how he managed to have such an efficient and uncorruptable cabinet in Singapore . On hearing Mahathir's woes, PM Goh said, 'Simple, Mahathir, I choose able men for my cabinet. ' Mahathir asked, 'Yes, but how do you know that they are able?' PM Goh replied, Just ask them simple questions to test their intelligence. They don't need to be too difficult. Let me illustrate to you.' Just then, DPM Tony Tan was walking by, PM Goh called out to him, 'Hey Tony, come over here.' Tony obediently walked briskly over. PM Goh asked, 'Tell me, Tony, who is your father's son ?' Tony Tan immediately replied, 'Me! Of course.' PM Goh turned to Mahathir and said, 'See, all my ministers can answer this question. Why don't you go back and try.' Mahathir thank PM Goh and left. Once he was back, he immediately summoned Syed Hamidz, his foreign affairs minister, and shot the question at him, 'Tell me, Hamid, who is your father's son ?' Syed Hamidz was shocked beyond words and did not know the answer. After a while, he recovered and said, 'Boss, let me find out and I'll tell you tomorrow.' Mahathir, a bit disappointed, agreed, hoping that Syed Hamidz will give a good answer tomorrow. Meanwhile, Syed Hamid was panicking that his boss was testing him. He tried desperately to find out the answer from his staff, but none of them knew the answer. The next morning, he decided to call Anwar for help. Anwar must know the answer. When Anwar picked up the phone, Syed Hamidz said, 'Hello, Anwar, can I ask you a question?' Anwar, very busy, replied, 'Alright, but it better be good!' Syed Hamidz quickly asked, Tell me, who is your father's son ?' Anwar was fuming, 'Of course its me, you stupid!' and he slammed the phone down. Satisfied that he got the answer, he confidently walked into Mahathir's office and said, 'Boss, I've got the answer to your question.' Mahathir, happy that his minister wasn't that dumb, said, 'So tell me quick, who is your father's son, Hamidz?' Syed Hamidz confidently replied, 'It's ANWAR!' Mahathir slapped his own forehead in disgust and said, No.... you stupid!....... It's TONY TAN!

Do they ever listen ?

Still cant hear ? What's wrong with you people ?

I cant get it! Despite all the protests that has been organised against the use of the ISA this government of ours remains deafen to all the pleas. What's wrong with this people that makes them devoid of compassion and all things intrinsically good. Why is it that we the Rakyat are so powerless against these so called champions of the people ? Why are they still determining who gets incarcerated and who does not merely by the stroke of a pen ? Why are they playing god ? Are they incapable of hearing all the grouses against the use of the cruel ISA ? Are they incapable of hearing ? Are they really deaf ?

Sanjeev told me the other day that the wheelchair that he sits on today was one that was donated by a kind soul. This government of ours could not even provide him with one despite all the troubles that he endured! Never mind the fact that they can spend millions on the bridge that keeps falling down, but a wheelchair they cant afford! Thinking about the bridge.... I say that a particular nursery rhyme should be changed to.... "MRR2 is falling down, falling down, falling down... MRR2 is falling down and there's nothing you can do!" . (Sung to the tune of London bridge is falling down)

Now I hear this government of ours wants to introduce a "Race Relations Act". Absolute poppycock I say. After 51 years of independence we need an act to tell us how to relate between the races ? Tell you what ... what we need is actually the "Politicians Race Relations Act". The problem is not the Rakyat. The problem is the dumb politicians that continue to stir up strive between the races. They need the act.....not the Rakyat!

Speaking about race relations, it is rather sad to hear that some moron decided to throw some Molotov cocktail into Teresa's house. I wonder what our champions the police is doing about this ? Masih siasatkah ? Will anyone be charged for this dastardly act I wonder? Surely the police can arrest those responsible ; after all they are very good in arresting people for their "own safety"!

Wake up you people in government.... release all the ISA detainees and abolish the ISA. Surely you are not deaf..... or are you ?

M V Nathan

Unhappy man ?

Sometimes I look like this !

Someone left a comment on this blog that he/she thinks that I am one unhappy person. In a way I guess that comment is a fair and accurate representation of me albeit sometimes. I also have to confess that I am not someone who is very patient by nature. At times I can be quite the ogre as represented in the picture above. Ha-ha!!

You tell me how not to be upset and annoyed when there is so much injustice that goes on everyday around us. I don't know about you but more often than not... somehow... I just get drawn in. So much so that some of my friends even call me a "fighter cock"! Aiyoh!

Anyway..... the point is this ....Do we just keep quiet and ignore the things that we see and hear ? Do we say ".... don't get involved or they will tangkap us next ?" "Why interfere when it is not your problem?"" Let other people do itlah.... think always you got wife and kids......! If you get arrested who gonna take care of the family ?"" Wah!... so free ah you ? Nothing to do is it ?"

I think the point that I am making is this. We all have a duty to speak up when we see or hear something wrong around us. We have to stop thinking "as long as can cari makan oklah!" and start doing something individually or even collectively to make Malaysia a better place for all of us. Whatever little steps, whatever little acts, whatever little words..... wherever and whenever necessary. Together we can make a difference! Believe me, we cant trust the politicians to do it for us anymore!

Cheers!

Meet Sanjeev Kumar a/l Krishnan (ISA detainee ATP 2689/2007)

Sanjeev Kumar a/l Krishnan ATP 2689/2007

I met Sanjeev in his house at Tanjung Malim on Tuesday 23/9/08. Prior to this meeting I last met him when he was in Hopital Bahagia, Ulu Kinta, Perak where he was warded for severe depression. Sanjeev was detained under the ISA for allegedly being an "agen perisik asing". This is a charge that Sanjeev vehemently denies. To date Sanjeev has yet to be charged for any offence under the law in open court. I shall not discuss the merits of his case here for obvious reasons.

Sanjeev was first detained under section 73(1) of the ISA. He claims to have been physically and mentally abused by the police during the 55 days that he was detained by the police. He claims that he had been verbally abused,beaten,punched, kicked, sodomised by hard objects and even made to drink his own urine.

Sanjeev is confined to a wheel chair today. He has lost use of his left hand and leg.He says that he is in this predicament as a result of him being tortured by the police.

Initially Sanjeev's detention under Section 8 (1) of the ISA was to run from 21/9/07 expiring in the year 2009. Sanjeev has been released from the Kamunting Detention camp from the 9/9/08. The order suspending the earlier Section 8 order has been issued under Section 10 of the ISA. This new section 10 order states that he is restricted to the district of Slim River, Perak. He is restricted to leave the district without the prior consent and approval of the Ketua Polis Negeri. He is to report and sign his name at the register book at the nearest police station to his home every Monday from the hours of 8.00 AM till 6.00PM. He is further restricted to his house from the hours of 9PM till 6AM. These are some of the restrictions that has been placed on this man.

Sanjeev is married and has no children. He says that the rental for the house he presently stays with his wife has not been paid for the past one(1) year. He is presently totally dependant on his wife to care for all his needs. He cannot contribute to the household needs due to his present condition. He is unsure what the future holds for him and prays that the truth would be revealed and justice would prevail in the end.

If anyone says that the ISA is not cruel nor is it an afront to human rights and dignity, I suggest that you take a good look at the picture above and think again!

M V Nathan

Thank you gomen !

Thank you Gomen !

My list for being thankful to the present Gomen are as follows :-

1) The 27 year record high in inflation that we Malaysians have to endure. Just about 8.5% onlylah!

2) The continued use of the ISA and making us Malaysians feel safe and secure.

3) Racist persons being slapped on the wrists instead of charging them under the Sedition Act or other relevant acts.

4) The improving transport system where we have our usual gridlock jams, high toll and falling bridges (MRR2). Latest just in - colliding trains via the LRT.

5) Rising costs of fuel despite Malaysia being a net exporter of petroleum.

6) The firm resolve in not wanting to see a truly independent, credible and strong Judiciary despite all the recommendations by the Royal Commission.

7) The continued rise of Malaysia in the corruption index.

8) The perceived toothless ACA that is accused of being not independent.

9) The police for being active in their vigour for arresting people for their own safety and in the name of national security.

10) The education system that is continuously producing world class students.

11) The politics of race and religion that continues to divide us and the dungu politicians that continue to entertain, confuse, irritate, lie, manipulate........

12) Telling us ordinary Malaysians to curb spending and to live modestly when our Members of Parliament are told to go on "working study trips" to Taiwan; the country that is famous for its high costs of living and agriculture achievements.

I will stop here. Actually the list goes on and on and on....... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We are all so thankful.

Free R P K !

Free him! He was only speaking his mind !

It is rather sad to know the fate of Raja Petra Kamaruddin. Very sad indeed! The man has been detained simply because his views differed from the views of the powers that be. His so called crime was that he had a mind and that, that mind was capable of thinking! He was different. His views were different. He had views that many possibly shared but never even dreamt of saying it out loud. As some agreed with him there were many whom did not share his views as well.... sadly the ones that disagreed with him had chosen to incarcerate the man at Kamunting.

The facts are that he was someone with many views/opinions. His views more often than not differed with the views/opinions of the powers that be, here in Malaysia. In Malaysia that is something that is not encouraged. Here in Malaysia that could be deemed to be a crime. A crime that needs no trial. So now poor RPK has to do all his thinking within the confines of Kamunting Camp without being able to relate his thoughts to anyone.

Just like how George Orwell had written in his novel "1984" .... Big Brother is always watching! And just like in that novel we now have the "thought police". We are now subject to the "thought police" monitoring our views and opinions. The moment we have differing views and opinions we are deemed to be a national threat. We are said to be threats to national security. We are then a threat to peace in the land of Boleh! All because of differing views and opinions!

As threats, you are then removed from society under the name of peace, harmony, security and all that mumbo jumbo that our politicians happily mouth off. And yes, of course they would use the much loved ISA on you and incarcerate you away from your family and loved ones. This they do without any trial whatsoever. All at the mere stroke of a pen. The moment the learned Home Minister signs that holiday papers for two years ..... then off you go to the place that reforms you to be a better citizen of the country capable of contributing to nation building! The period may in some cases extend to 6 years or more. No one is sure. It may even be indefinite! Yes you heard me right indefinite. You see, so long as the Home Minister in his infinite wisdom decides that you are still a threat to the nation then your stay in Kamunting gets extended. And yes, all by the stroke of a pen. No trials, no evidence being produced and no witnesses being cross examined to verify the truth of whatever they may say against you.

Sad, really very sad! The ISA must go! It must be abolished! No two ways about it. Free RPK ! He was only speaking his mind.

Good quote!

My brother in law in Melaka normally does not send me messages via sms. It was a pleasant surprise when I received the following quote via sms this morning. Good quote too , I must add.
Goes like this :-


"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act !" - George Orwell

Good Poem

When the Nazis came for the communists,I remained silent;I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,I remained silent;I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,I did not speak out;I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,I remained silent;I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,there was no one left to speak out.
It's a poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

I like this poem. I read it on Screenshots by Jeff Ooi. I liked it enough to put it here. Time to reflect on this.

M V Nathan

Just the usual clowns!

Looking very regal and learned wont you say ?

I read in today's papers that Ibrahim Ali said that Teresa Kok should not complain about the food she got whilst in detention. It appears that the independent MP from Pasir Mas had been detained twice before (1974 & 1987) and the food was even worse back then! He also says that the ISA is relevant and that the country needs it. He says that " We must consider the need to sacrifice our personal freedom for the sake of peace in the country". Ha-ha!! Funny guy ! Maybe we should send him back for a third stint at Kamunting ?

Then there is this chap called the Mike Tyson of Selangor. He says that Teresa should have better respect for the poor. This world champion says that the food that Teresa got was far better than what some poor people eat! What a genius of a man!

Finally there is this chap from a former BN component party from Sabah. He says that he is against the pull out of his party from the BN. As a result he says he will be an independent. He wants to continue to be the Deputy Chief Minister of Sabah. He also says " I don't think the party sent any letter to the BN when they made the decision to leave, so why should I ? I learnt this from them." Wah , people teach u jump into the longkang u also jump ah ?..... What a champion! Very clever ah!

Picture above is dedicated to the three gentlemen above. Thank you for making Malaysia laugh!

Cheers !

Lie detector .......? Aiyoh!

Latest brilliant idea from the land of "Boleh"!

I cant help but laugh when people start saying that we should use the "lie detector" to determine if someone is telling the truth. Well it appears that a certain newspaper says that teresa Kok should take a lie detector test to determine if she had been lying in the call of prayer matter. The particular officials from the mosque in question had cleared Teresa Kok. The police also had cleared Teresa. But not the newspaper it seems. They now say that Teresa needs to undergo a lie detector test!

Tell you what geniuses; Let us start making people take lie detector tests or better still make people take oaths on holy books to determine if someone is telling the truth. In that way we can dispense with the need for courts and lengthy trials. Bolehkan ?

What kind of people are running newspapers in this country ?

M V Nathan

What can we do ?

The one people called the Mahatma ( Great Soul ).

"It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit. But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.” - Mahatma Gandhi

I truly believe that together we can. If all of us were to be united in opposing this law called the ISA then I believe it will happen. Sooner or later this government has to take notice and do the right thing. This cruel and unjust law simply has to go. There are no two ways about it. As The Mahatma had said "... if you do nothing, there will be no result".

What can we do,you ask ?

I have some suggestions.

1) Write to your MP and state your views on the ISA.

2) Send your MP an sms on the issue. Flood his/her phone with such messages.

3) Call your MP directly.

5) Continue the discussions everywhere. Don't let it stop.

6) Write letters to local newspapers, magazines etc...

7) Send abolish ISA postcards to the PM, DPM and Home Minister. Lets flood their offices with such postcards.

8) Wear T-shirts that support the ISA abolishment

9) Organise petitions calling for the abolishment of the ISA

10) Finally, do the "Hartal". We shall pick one day and just stay home. Just that. Stay home. No going to the office, shopping, market, kedai kopi ... nothing. Just stay home for 24 hours. This is what is called Civil Disobedience. All of us have to do it together. Together we can!

We can put this barbaric, inhumane, uncivilised piece of law in to the dust bin. We must.

Do we have a choice ?

M V Nathan

Teresa released !

Well it appears that YB Teresa Kok has been released from the ISA detention. That is one released. We still have many more to be released.

Free them all !

M V Nathan

Free all of them !

Free all the ISA detainees !

Everyday that passes brings further disrepute to this government of ours. The continued detention of Teresa, RPK and all others under the ISA should be abhorred by every Malaysian citizen. The actions of the government in continuing to use this outdated, draconian and cruel law is tantamount to a government gone bad. This government has turned its back on all principles of fair play, justice and the rule of law. This government no longer deserves to call itself the champion of the people. This government stands accused of having committed treason against the people of this nation!

To the honourable Mr PM and all his merry men, I only have this to say: Resign and forever begone from the public domain. The bunch of you are an embarrassment to the nation.

M V Nathan

Good quote.

"The real threat to national security is incompetence, weakness and injustice. When these elements exist in government, then the government is the threat to national security, not the opposition, the bloggers and the reporters who criticize the government." - Patrick Dass

A friend of mine blogged the above captioned words on his blog.I am putting it here without his permission. Thks mate. Hope you dont mind. Well said!

Cheers,

M V Nathan

Watched this movie titled "V" ?

Brilliant movie in my humble opinion!

The part that I like the most of this movie is when the main character "v" says this :

"People should not be afraid of their government but it is the Government that should be afraid of its People".

M V Nathan

Time to pray !

Maybe praying will make the nonsense stop!

I pray that the nonsense that is going on in the land of "Boleh" would stop soon. I pray that the insanity that has come upon our leaders would soon go away. I pray that common sense and compassion/kindness shall be the order of the day. I pray that no moron will make racist remarks anymore. I pray that the rule of law will be reinstated to its rightful place. I pray that the police shall actually use its powers to arrest crime and not to arrest/persecute selected people for having differing views. I pray that all the detainees of that law called the ISA shall be released immediately. I pray that there will be peace in the country where justice and freedom are treasured and jealously guarded by the powers that be i.e. the government. I pray that the government would stop hoodwinking the people. I pray that there will be no more colossal losses from nepotism,cronyism and corruption. I pray that the Judiciary will be restored to its former glory. I pray that the ACA will one day be truly free and feared and not continue to be a toothless pussy cat doing the bidding of its master. I pray that we Malaysians can live as brothers and sisters in this wonderful nation of ours. I pray that we all can live in harmony with equal rights as citizens of this nation. I pray that there will be a better Malaysia for my sons, their children and for all future generations to come.

With folded palms and head bowed low, I pray!

M V Nathan

Mind games continue!

Question on every one's mind : Who are they ?

Well it appears that 916 came and left. There is no sight of a new government despite all the hype and hysteria ! To be honest, I am getting a little impatient. I was hoping that the new government would take over and all would be well in the land of "boleh". How I wish..... sigh!

Now they are saying, kena tunggu lagi.... Guys don't wait too long ok. Cepat sikitlah. All this mind games may be fun and games to you people but for us average Joe it can be very distracting and irritating to say the least. To see people being arrested under that idiotic ISA for trumped up charges and being helpless to do anything about it is extremely depressing. Sometimes I wish I had some super human powers and was able to fly to Putrajaya and knock some sense into all the so called "YB"s duly elected by the rakyat to run the country properly. I also wish I had some super human power to be able to reason with the so called "YB"s that all their nonsense is doing this country no good. Ah... heck, maybe i should just fly them to Mars and leave them there. But then again that would be cruel to the Martians and be considered polluting that wonderful red planet!

On a positive note I am glad that the De Facto Law Minister has stuck to his guns and resigned from the government. Well done Sir! Your actions in resigning speaks damning volumes for this incompetent government that we have presently. I can understand how you must have felt in trying to reason with absolute morons. I am sorry that you are not going to stick around to carry out the legal reforms that has been long overdue. I am also glad to note that for once the MCA, Gerakan and the MIC to a certain extent are not in agreement with the present government's stance in using the ISA. But then again if these component parties (that form the government) openly disagree with the use of the ISA; then who is the government ? Is there only one party that is making all the decisions ? What happened to the Barisan spirit ? Dulu cakap semua sepakat ? Hmmmm.......This episode speaks a lot for the government of the day. I feel that the Rakyat should never forget this incident come the next General Elections.

I say, abolish the ISA! Release all the detainees! ISA is cruel and barbaric!

To PKR...... Lama lagikah? Sure or not ? To quote one famous Phua Chu Kang ....Dont pray,pray ah !

M V Nathan

It is pure madness !

Members of the BN government? L to R - PM, DPM and the now infamous Datuk SHA.

It must be madness! I think nothing else describes the actions of the government in detaining someone under the ISA for "their own safety ". The statements by the Home affairs minister is simply madness. He says the Sin Chew news reporter had to be detained by the police under the ISA for her own safety. Strangely, he says he did not order it but rather it was a decision by the police. Wow ! What poppycock ! Does this mean that the police today is a law onto themselves ? What has happened to the Rule of Law in Malaysia ?

Should Theresa Kok and RPK have done something contrary to the laws of Malaysia, charge them in open court. Using the ISA is akin to lawlessness. Does this mean that the government has lost confidence in Judiciary, police to investigate or the AG in prosecuting cases ? To me, the continued use of the ISA means just that. Where is the good governance that was promised by this BN government before the general elections ? Looks like you BN government did not learn anything after the 8-3-08! Scoring an own goal just like how West Brown did for Manchester United! What a shame!

I say the continued use of the ISA is something that every Malaysian must fight against. It is an affront to human rights. It is against the principles of natural justice. There is absolutely no justification for the continued use of the ISA. Every man is entitled to a fair trial in open court. There are no two ways about it!

The Home Affairs Minister must resign for this fiasco. Nothing else would suffice now!!!

M V Nathan

Not the ISA again !

Yes ! I just prepared the ISA detention papers againlah !

Just heard that RPK has been detained under that sham of a law called the ISA. Sad..... I am really sad. I cant begin to understand why anyone would want to use such a repressive and draconian law like the ISA.

I say if RPK has broken the law then charge him in open court and try the man for whatever transgressions he may have committed. To use the ISA is plain stupid !

This would only galvanise support for RPK and give credence to whatever RPK had been saying in the past.

Really disappointed and sad. No change has taken place in Malaysia after the 8.3.08. There is still no respect for human rights and dignity here in this country. Boo...... to all those who choose to use the ISA; yet again.

Utterly disgusted today,

M V Nathan

Recalcitrant !

Suspended for 3 years and still unrepentant !

Dear Mr PM,

Thank you for waking up to the fact that this man is dangerous to the welfare and well being of all Malaysians. Thank you for suspending him for 3 years. I was not sure you would do anything to reprimand this person but you proved me wrong. Thank you for removing this person from the public domain for the next three years. ( I hope!)

If I had been you, I would have just sacked him from the BN. This man is a disgrace. I happened to watch TV3 news last night, and boy is this chap unrepentant ! This man deserves to be sent to the North Pole and learn how to integrate with the polar bears ! Maybe they would be able to tolerate this person but then again that would be cruelty to animals.

Anyway, thankslah Mr PM.

Syed Imrani, former Bernama journalist ... "Ahmad Ismail cannot deny the fact that his grandparents were immigrants from India who were looking for a better and comfortable life in this fortunate land." Ini bukan pendatangkah ?

M V Nathan

Sad !

My heart weeps !!!

I am utterly disappointed and saddened that after 51 years of independence members of our BN government need a Code of Ethics to guide them. Absurd ! After running the country for 51 years they now want to come up with a code of ethics! These people need a code of Ethics to teach/guide them as to what they can or cannot say ! Absurd !

This clearly shows/illustrates the lack of ethics on the part of these people all these years !

M V Nathan

I say abolish ISA !

ABOLISH THE ISA (Internal Security Act 1960)

I say abolish the ISA. It is one very harsh piece of law. It denies the detainee the right of a fair trial. The ISA is barbaric and inhumane. It is should never be used against anyone. Period.

A client of mine has just been released from the ISA. Just got the news via the phone a few minutes ago. Today that client of mine is suicidal and is confined to a wheelchair. Yes the poor man is paralysed. He is in the prime of his youth and is today confined to a wheelchair.

He claims that he was brutally tortured, abused and even sodomised with a broom! All this he says were by the hands of the police! Yes the police. The people that were supposed to make all of us feel safe and secure, he says caused him to endure torture.

SANJEEV KUMAR A/L KRISHNAN (NO K/P : 830126-08-5269) I pray that you get well soon. We will not let them forget you. That is my promise to you. May the world be my witness.

M V Nathan

Where is the captain ?

Is the captain still sleeping ah ? Wake him up please. Ship sinkinglah ! Aiyoh!!!

Why am I getting this strange feeling that something is amiss. A friend of mine sent me a sms asking me to wake the PM up ! This friend seems to think that all this racial "debates" that are being bandied about is doing the country lots of harm. I tend to agree with him. It just aint good at all. Lots of anger, harsh words, tearing of pictures..... what else is going to happen ? Oh dear me ! Mana captain ? Ship is in crisis. Takkan Captain tidur lagi ?

Yo Captain ! Get the ship back on track. We need leadership mate. We need it now! Wake up!

Maybe comatosed ? Oh Dear !

M V Nathan

Mad Man ?

Like that also can ah ?

Intimidation ?

I read something very interesting in the NST today. It was reported that a senior police officer had lodged a police report against the presiding Magistrate in the Manjung Magistrate's court. And guess what, the report was made against the Magistrate for her refusal to extend the remand of a dadah suspect! Wow isn't that a first?

The Magistrate I believe was merely exercising the functions of a magistrate in seeing that remand orders are done properly and in accordance with the law. Well it seems that the police officer not happy with the police being denied the remand order had decided to lodge a police report against the particular Magistrate. I am flabbergasted ! Words cant begin to describe my feelings now!

Does that mean, every time the police is unhappy with a decision handed by the courts, they are going to lodge police reports ? Who then is going to investigate ? What possible offences have been committed ? What the devil is going on ? The PDRM has lost the plot I think. The only proper way for the police should they be happy with the Magistrate was to request the AG's chambers to file for "revision" in the High court against the Magistrate's order. Not by lodging police reports lah! Making allegations of "obstructing investigations" and "interfering" in the police reports are plain STUPID ! There I said it.

Is this a case of the police bullying the Magistrates to do their bidding ? Oh dear! Pening kepalalah! Where is my panadol ?

M V Nathan

Interesting times ahead !

Do you feel like this sometimes ? Especially after reading the morning papers ?

We certainly live in a time that is most definitely interesting. The BN backbenchers have all been "ordered" to go for an overseas trip from the 15 the of September. Wah! suddenly the BN backbenchers feel the need to go on an overseas trip to study agriculture ! The powers that be then all say the same thing. Oh this has nothing to do with Anwar's plan to topple the BN government come the 16th of September. A mere coincidence. Call me a sceptic but where got hear this kind of trip before ? Even during the Mahathir era got no such thing. Takut is it ?

Previously I was against any defections by any political parties to join PR. I have somewhat changed my views now. What if the defections and the government that comes about as a result of such defections bring about a better Malaysia for all ? A tasty thought indeed. I dont know about the rest of you, I am just sick and tired of the racist, corrupt and plain idiotic ways of the BN government. I say it is enough. Enough of the divisive policies that have kept Malaysians apart. I say it is time for change ! Question is, will it happen ?

Moving on, that UMNO man in Penang has refused to apologise for the recent comments he made. The DPM no less has apologised on his behalf. "I don't owe anyone an apology " says the man from UMNO.That UMNO man has now even said that he was right for saying what he said; so does that make the DPM a fool for apologising ? Hmmmm.......

Finally I fear that RPK may be in very serious trouble. The powers that be of a certain religion have lodged many police reports against RPK. I wonder if all these is just to shut RPK up? Hmmm...

Certainly interesting times are ahead. Fasten your seat belts guys and hold on tight !!!
