Moving on, this week has been a total drag. Save for
Fiona's birthday party (sorry Germs!) and that stupid, stupid horror movie (remind me never to go near those ever again unless I've been given a dose of sleeping gas.)
I couldn't be arsed to update about the party. Because everyone seems to be doing so, therefore there isn't much of a point in my updating of an affair that most people are already aware of.
I'm such a lazy retard, aren't I?
*********************
On to a much more serious topic:
The 3 ISA detainees.
As the whole world already knows,
Raja Petra (Editor of Malaysia Today),
Terasa Kok (DAP’s Seputeh MP) and a
Sin Chew reporter, were arrested under
Section 73 (1) of the Internal Security Act. Something that was originally used to combat the insurgence of Communists, is now being used to silence people who make political dissent.
If the government deems whatever these three people have said or done "seditious", then why not bring them to the court of law where things can be settled fairly and logically? Detaining a person, without any explanations and even worse, without a trial is beyond m, what with the lack of evidence.
What makes this even more unbearable, is the fact that a
politician who made extremely racist remarks towards an ethnic group of this country, namely the
Chinese. AND when asked for an apology, says that he has done nothing wrong!
Where is the justice in this world
(Up someone's ass probably)? I simply cannot comprehend as to why a
racist is running around scot free while the people who make the most sense are being arrested under the ISA! Why not just charge that politician as well?
The Home Affairs Minister said in an interview with Al-Jazeera, that the ISA is meant to bring society back to one that is more
mainstream.
Mainstream?
Mainstream? MAINSTREAM?!MAINSTREAM MY FOOT LAH.
What exactly
IS your definition of mainstream? A society that is
mainstream does not have
idiot(s) who call the Chinese
squatters and make us sound like we deserve
squat (punpunpun! Ignore me). Instead of detaining
him,
he was merely given a slap on the wrist even after
refusing to apologise, I cannot stop reiterating this fact, and was only suspended from UMNO for 3-years.
Furthermore, the
reporter who merely relayed the news of this racist politician, is thought to be more guilty than the actual perpetrator. She's just doing her job! If Datuk Ahmad Ismail did not say all that and was oh-so-simply misquoted, then there should not be a problem with him apologizing. Instead, the opposite occurs with the
reporter being arrested as though she were the one who committed a horrible crime.
Yet again,
WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?!As much as I love this country, truly I do, the internal struggles of the nation is merely dragging us all down. Every single one of us, no matter how much you want to deny it. It's high time someone stood up for the people who aren't so brave.
Raja Petra is truly one of a kind. A no-holds-barred kind of man who just might be able to turn things around amongst the people.
I quote a friend,
"It all starts with ourselves, as individuals that make the community that make the nation".
Any thoughts you politically apathetic non-existent readers?
COMMENT KTHX I LIKE THEM. NOT IN CBOX, IN COMMENT LINK. :D
But truly? The current political situation of this country makes me want to slap someone.
*********************
LIKE WTF HOW STUPID CAN THEY GET?! TOTALLY DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. IDIOTS.
Such stupidity. Such utter stupidity.
Listen to this:
Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar … said Tan was detained under Section 73(1) of the Act in order to ensure her safety as police intelligence indicated that there were threats to her life after she reported on Bukit Bendera division Umno chairman Datuk Ahmad Ismail’s allegedly racist remarks
“We have no intention of holding a reporter as after all she was just taking notes of the comments made by a certain party that led to a public debate.
“She maybe released as soon as today after police have obtained all information needed,” he said, adding that the reporter’s detention was part of the police preventive action. [The Star]
So to protect someone, you put him or her under preventive detention?
If you were so concerned with her safety, why not just send say, half a dozen policemen to protect her?
If you were so concerned with her safety, why not act on the so-called police intelligence and arrest the people who are threat to her life?
It’s not called preventive detention for nothing, innit?
Bodoh.
And here’s more kebodohan from Kodomo Lion:
Asked on the detention of Selangor senior executive councillor Teresa Kok, Syed Hamid said she was arrested due to her comments on mosques and the Azan recently.
”Her comments have created public disorder and problems,” he said.
In case Botak is having trouble remembering, let me remind him that it was Khir “Tempe” Toyo who made the allegations against her — allegations that later proved to be untrue.
Teresa Kok was merely defending herself.
So why arrest her?
Arrest Tempe instead, because he was the one shit-stirring.
Bodoooh, bodoh.
THE BN GOVERNMENT has lost it’s mind. It has well and truly lost it.
It will lose the next general election hands down, no matter what happens after this.
So long, dudes, and thanks for all the laughs.
