No doubt Malaysian police force is one of the world’s most efficient.
Under the leadership of Abdullah, police had acquired new efficiency in clamping down public protest.
Nowadays people could be arrested and charged with ‘illegal’ assembly, even though no assembly had taken place.
On 26 Jan the coalition of parties and NGOs planned to stage a protest [...]

Now BN is synonym with “Barang Naik”. We have warned the government the risk of hyper-inflation a long time ago.
Instead of implementing prudent measures to stimulate economic growth, the government was busy launching various megaprojects and corridors. These projects bring in no investment in short-term, but partly contributed to inflationary pressure.
Anyway, it looks like we [...]

On Nov 23, I received an email from a from Tenger. Tenger who I met in one of the international meeting was a young politician from the ruling Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party (MPRP). We became acquaintance, as we share the same name. Tenger in Mongolian equals to [...]

This young man who claimed to be a police officer alleged that I bit him on his arm.
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.
I am [...]

Five leaders of HINDRAF were detained under the ISA on December 13. P. Uthayakumar, M. Manoharan, R. Kenghadharan, V. Ganabatirau and T. Vasanthakumar were sent to Kamunting immediately under Section 8 of the ISA.
Prime Minister Abdullah has decided to by-pass the process of investigation/interrogation and send them straight to Kamunting. In normal ISA arrests, the [...]

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.
The Government’s allergy towards public [...]

Human Rights Day 2007 is a day of darkness for Malaysian people.
When Mahathir was gone, Abdullah gave people the impression that there would be more openness. In December 2008, his liberal facade crumbled. Suddenly Mr Nice with “Big Ears” revealed his authoritarian self.
In the last few days, we witnessed the first massive crackdown of civil [...]

As I mentioned in my earlier post, the Authorities are using all means to sabotage people’s expression. The PM bragged about his “big ear”, his readiness to listen to the truth, blah blah blah.
At the end of the day, he instructed the police and all security measures to be used against peaceful gatherings. The PM [...]
