Later I discovered in a video record that he actually hit my head while I was being forcefully taken by the police. It is most ridiculous that I could be accused of assaulting anyone under those circumstances.

Our parliament has been made into a mockery by the PM. There have been a series of over-reactions by the police. I doubt it was the intention of our professional police force. The mess-up was nothing but a very incompetent IGP, eager to lick the boot of his insecure big boss.

I am not sure what “Wayang” the Malaysian Royal Police Force (PGRM) is playing. The IGP Musa Hassan claimed that 254 people had been arrested by the police on 10 Nov. However, BERSIH organizers only recorded 34. I was among the group who went the IPK Jalan Hang Tuah to support the detained demonstrators.
A few […]

People came in tens of thousands into the centre of Kuala Lumpur today. Nothing could stop them.
The authorities tried everything. From last night, all major roads entering KL were barricaded to prevent protesters from coming into the city. Many buses were turned back. Police checkpoints were set up nationwide, in every state and all main […]
