Abolish ISA!!

Today's anti-ISA protest at Kuala Lumpur was reported by Al-Jazeera here. The Malaysian Insider too reports here, with photos that should give people an idea of '1Malaysia' .

Times like this called for civilians to know their rights should they be arrested by the police, as seen here.

My parents wanted to go to KL too in the first place, not for the protest but for other matters.

If they had gone to the capital, they would certainly see a massive crowd, probably larger than the Bersih rally, and would probably join the many who were detained if they were not careful. Doubt it?

Why is the government so keen so keep the ISA? The thing with the BN government is, they keep telling you that they will 'study' a certain issue when you complained to them. Study study study, until you forget or give up. Come the next election, you voted for them and they promised you heaven, only to conduct more 'studies'. So is this ISA, 'study' and 'review', but up to now the good people of Malaysia have seen nothing. We are not MPs and lawyers ma, so we did not see anything lorrr.

The ISA was protected to the extent of shooting tear gas and chemical-laced water at protesters. Those interested could simply search the various online news portal for pictures. As put forward by Lim Kit Siang at his twitter: Effective use of water canon, FRUs & police today show if IGP focus on his job, there can be 0% crime rate in Msia. What a misplaced talent.

Could not have put it better Mr. Lim.

Let the people demonstrate if you are not afraid. With each protests the people make, they are creating history. Everything today will go down into the books. This is the history is by the people, for the people, and of the people. The roads in OUR capital today played Parliament to the Public, and the whatever units BN deployed today was just like them who trespassed the Perak State Assembly, entering into the people's court of opinion.

Thanks to the divine rain today too. It makes people hungry, doesn't it?

Snap polls, anyone?

for every person marching out there, there were at least 10 more people rallying for their cause behind the computer screens at home, so do the math and there-they've got tenfolds of supporters.

hopefully one day we'll be able to march as as Bar Council observers, but I hope the need to do so won't be necessary when our time comes, cos' change will have taken place by then. we can dream,aye.
