Peace and security, my foot !

 Sedition dragnet: Cops do not rule out more arrests  

G Lavendran | May 23, 2013 

KL police chief Mohammad Salleh says that in order to protect peace and security, there could be more arrests coming.

KUALA LUMPUR: The police have not ruled out the possibility of more arrests under its Sedition Act dragnet. Speaking at a press conference here, city police chief Mohammad Salleh said the priority was to ensure peace and security. 

Peace and security my foot ! Go and sort out the Sulu invaders and drive them out of Sabah Mr. city police chief. They are happily still on Malaysian soil armed  for over a month now and have murdered 18 of  your comrades and our citizens so far. And Sabah is peaceful and secured now ? You opt for "peaceful negotiations" with fully armed murdering aliens from Sulu but ready to arrest unarmed tax-paying citizens gathered peacefully in silence with only a lighted candle. How dangerous can fellow citizens be as compared to the foreign Suluks who killed our 18 men ?   

The police have so far arrested four  people under the Act. These are student leader Adam Adli, Anything But Umno (ABU) leader Haris Ibrahim, PKR vice-president Tian Chua and PAS’ Thamrin Ghaffar.

There are also rumours that PKR leader and Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) founder Badrul Hisham Shaharin has been arrested as well but this could not be confirmed. SAMM issued a statement at 6pm to state that Badrul Hisham was “still free”. Adam was charged this morning and freed on bail.

If only our police were this enthusiastic in catching the hundreds of snatch thieves, mat rempits roaming the streets daily and doing an honest days work to serve the citizens instead of terrorising them. Sigh ! 

Mohammad said the others were also expected to be charged under the Sedition Act with regard to their call to topple the government through a massive street protest. 

And I was fooled by your "deal -or-no-deal" master into thinking that the Sedition Act was repealed all this time, damn !

“We have 24 hours to gather all the statements from them but we will extend the remand if time does not suffice.

“We have also not ruled out more arrests on those linked to the May 13 ceramah. We will only find out after thorough investigations have been completed,” he added.

Jeng ! jeng ! jeng !!.......memories of Ops Lallang bolts through my mind !   

Mohammad also said that the forum on May 13 was unlawful and uncalled for.

“It was wrong for them to gather as they did on May 13 and since the Sedition Act is still enforceable by law, we have to charge them under it,” he said.

“After all our first priority is to maintain peace and order,” he added.

Again I want to remind you Mr. city police chief....see my first para above lah. 

Mohammad also said the 18 people arrested under Section 143 of the Penal Code outside the Jinjang detention centre last night have been released on police bail.

“We have recorded statements from them, but investigations are ongoing and until then all 18 have been released on police bail,” he said.

“That assembly was unlawful, they could be jailed up to six months [if found guilty],” he added.

Holding candles in solidarity with a young fellow Malaysian in your lock-up was unlawful ? Gimme a break lah !

The 18 were part of the crowd who had gathered in support of Adam who was held at the Jinjang police detention centre.

So is the invasion of Sabah by heavily armed foreign aliens, sir. Why are the aliens still on our soil ?   

The police chief also warned the public not to get involved in such gatherings in the future, including the one scheduled to take place on May 25 at a field near Amcorp Mall in Petaling Jaya.

“Please obey the existing laws and do not behave otherwise, we don’t want any trouble and the people should work together with us instead of against us,” he said.

“However, if the rally does take place this weekend, we are ready to take action. We have enough manpower and will do what is necessary to maintain peace and order,” he added.

When it comes to dealing with the Opposition there's plenty of manpower...but when it comes to combating crimes, snatch thefts and corruption....shortage of manpower. Same old silly story.

Why don't you use you "manpower" to eliminate those armed and illegal aliens still in Sabah ? They are a bigger threat to peace and security, no ? Get your priorities in order Mat. 

Not in blind submission to your ruling political master's bidding but to the Agong.  

Happy Vesak Day to all celebrants !

CHINESE 1ST... MALAYSIAN NEVER!

Finally, this proves what I blogged previously... 

All answers are here:

1.  THE BASTARD CHINESE... ‘Chinese 1st, Malaysia last' ... HERE

2. ONLY CHINESE ARE AGAINST CORRUPTION... Really??? ... HERE

[Gambar] Pasangan Suami Isteri Cuba Bawa Pulang MAYAT Anak Perempuan Mereka dengan Menaiki Bas Awam, Mengapa?

Pasangan suami isteri di China telah "ditangkap" ketika cuba membawa mayat anak perempuan mereka yang berusia dua tahun menaiki sebuah bas. Mayat kanak-kanak malang itu dimuatkan di dalam sebuah beg besar.

Yang Cheng, 35, dan isterinya Lin Sun Li menuntut mayat anak mereka yang dipercayai meninggal dunia kerana penyakit tangan, kaki, dan mulut di Hospital Hefei, di Wilayah Anhui sebelum meletakkan mayat itu di dalam beg tersebut.

Mereka kemudiannya pergi ke stesen bas tempatan sebelum cuba menaiki sebuah bas untuk pulang ke rumah mereka di Quqiu.

Walau bagaimanapun, rancangan itu telah digagalkan apabila mayat anak mereka itu dapat dikesan oleh mesin pengimbas keselamatan.  Polis telah dipanggil dan Yang telah disoal siasat. Beliau memberitahu polis bahawa mereka terpaksa berbuat demikian kerana tidak mampu menyewa kereta mayat.

Pasangan itu akhirnya dibebaskan tanpa dikenakan apa-apa tindakan. Mereka dilihat pulang ke rumah dengan menaiki sebuah teksi. -DCM/DM 

Pasangan ini memberitahu polis bahawa mereka tidak mampu menyewa kereta mayat untuk membawa pulang mayat anak mereka.

Sedition is an act of crime

Chinese Chauvinist DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng chided IGP Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar for “Wasting time” for investigatong DAP founding member and former Chairman Dr Chen Man Hing for sedition.

Guan Eng ticks off IGP for investigating DAP’s Chen Man Hin

PETALING JAYA: Lim Guan Eng has taken Inspector-General of PoliceTan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar to task for “wasting time” investigating DAP founding member Dr Chen Man Hin for allegedly conspiring to create public disorder when he should be focusing on waging war against crime.

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said the party was shocked that the police found it necessary to investigate the innocent actions of an 86-year-old who supposedly conspired to create public disorder when he used the term “Malaysia Spring” in a private e-mail correspondence over a year ago.

It was reported that Chen was called in for questioning for allegedly plotting to overthrow the government through street demonstrations similar to those that had occurred in several Middle Eastern countries and had been labelled the Arab Spring.

“The investigation is clearly to victimise and humiliate a DAP leader. Even if the charge to topple the government was true, why is the investigation carried out now after more than a year when, clearly, there has been no effort to overthrow the government?” Lim said in a statement.

He said questioning Dr Chen on a baseless charge showed how Khalid practised double-standards.

Lim hit out at this “ridiculous” move, saying it would only waste police resources and effort when these should be used to fight the rising crime instead.

Pointing out that even the sisters of the Deputy Prime Minister and Khalid himself had fallen victim to incidents of crime recently, Lim urged the police to instead focus on making the streets and the people’s homes safer.

An extract of the Sedition Act 1948:

Section 4 of the Sedition Act specifies that anyone who “does or attempts to do, or makes any preparation to do, or conspires with any person to do” an act with seditious tendency, such as uttering seditious words, or printing, publishing or importing seditious literature, is guilty of sedition. It is also a crime to possess a seditious publication without a “lawful excuse”. The act defines sedition itself as anything which “when applied or used in respect of any act, speech, words, publication or other thing qualifies the act, speech, words, publication or other thing as having a seditious tendency”.

Under section 3(1), those acts defined as having a seditious tendency are acts with a tendency:

“

(a) to bring into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against any Ruler or against any Government;(b) to excite the subjects of the Ruler or the inhabitants of any territory governed by any government to attempt to procure in the territory of the Ruler or governed by the Government, the alteration, otherwise than by lawful means, of any matter as by law established; (c) to bring into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against the administration of justice in Malaysia or in any State; (d) to raise discontent or disaffection amongst the subjects of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong or of the Ruler of any State or amongst the inhabitants of Malaysia or of any State; (e) to promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between different races or classes of the population of Malaysia; or (f) to question any matter, right, status, position, privilege, sovereignty or prerogative established or protected by the provisions of part III of the Federal constitution or Article 152, 153 or 181 of the Federal Constitution.

It is blatantly clear that Chinese Chauvinists within DAP sowing hatred against the authorities, insulting the Malays and challenging ultra-sensitive issues for the Malays(which include the position and power of HRH Rulers and Islam), would lead to a negative and highly probable combative reaction.

It is exactly like what Opposition mainly Chinese Chauvinist DAP and radicals and subversive elements did between 10-13 May 1969 saw the nation turned topsy turvy and 196 people died in the worse racial riot and bloodshed this nation has ever seen in modern times.

Sowing hatred and uttering seditious words is a crime worse than murder.

Sedition cases

What Dr Chen said in Seremban on 17 May should be deemed ‘seditious’. The democratic system in this nation practices the Westminster style first-past-the-post voting system and not popularity votes. Dr Chen’s has the malice intention to sow the anger of younger Malaysians to revolt against BN’s win of 133 seats in the Parliament and nine out of twelve State Assemblies on the 13GE concluded on 5 May.

Even if the 13GE results are flawed, there are processes that could be taken to rectify and even overturn the outcome of what has been announced.

The Election Commission gazetted the results of the 13GE a few days ago and it is opened for petition by any of the parties and/or candidates who contested within 21 days. There on, a High Court would convene a tribunal to hear the merits of the petitions filed or challenged by the EC.

There is no need for members of the public to go on the streets and demonstrate against the results of the 13GE since there are avenues to challenge and rectify them.

That is not withstanding the fact that Opposition leaders took oath as Menteri Besars and Chief Minister and formed a government before HRH Rulers of Kelantan and Selangor and HE Governor of Penang for their winnings in the State Assemblies of the afore mentioned states.

The Opposition conveniently accepted EC’s announcements for all the 89 Parliamentary and 230 DUN seats which they won but claimed BN’s win for the 133 Parliamentary seats is a fraud. That alone is an insult to almost 11 million Malaysians at large who came out and cast their decision!

DEEP IMPACT IN SECURITY IMPLICATION

ADUN Likas YB Junz Wong advised Police Chief Datuk Hamza to tell Sabahans what were their plans to crackdown the security threat posed by large migrant population in Sabah instead.

STAR has reported Datuk Hamza told Royal Commission of Inquiry that the presence of a large migrant population in Sabah poses a certain security threat to the state and its people.

He said the Feb 9 Tanduo intrusion in Lahad Datu was a clear example of the security risks involved with the presence of such a large group of migrants as the intruders received support from them.

The security implication of foreign migrants is the intrusion which had a deep impact, not only to security personnel, but to the people of Sabah.

Junz Wong, who is also National DAPSY Publicity Secretary wanted Police Chief to tell Sabah their plans to deal with this problem! Explain the solutions to this long perennial problem instead.

"What's the point of telling Sabah facts we Sabahans already know decades ago? Security threat posed by large illegal immigrants is no secret in Sabah!

"Tell us what are you going to do about it!" Junz concluded.

AIRASIA ENGGAN MEMBAWA JENAZAH

MALANG sungguh kisah rakyat Malaysia yang pergi bercuti ke luar negara menggunakan penerbangan tambang murah Air Asia tetapi terpaksa balik menggunakan penerbangan MAS. Jika sebelum ini melibatkan kejadian di Vietnam, kali ini di Indonesia pulak.

Bezanya adalah kali ini membabitkan jenazah penumpang yang meninggal dunia semasa bercuti di sana.

Allahyarhamah Fatimah Sudin, 72, meninggal dunia di Hospital Jogjakarta Indonesia (JIH) setelah diserang angin ahmar dan pendarahan otak ketika melancong bersama rakan-rakannya di Jogjakarta, Indonesia.

Anak Allahyarhamah, Azlina Ramli, 46, berkata ibunya Fatimah Sudin, 72, mengalami pening dan muntah selepas makan malam pada hari Ahad lepas dan dibawa oleh rakannya ke JIH untuk rawatan.

“Kawan emak hubungi doktor di sana, doktor sahkan emak alami strok dan pendarahan dalam otak, selepas itu kawan emak menghubungi saya untuk memberitahu keadaannya,” katanya.

Beliau berkata ibunya disahkan meninggal dunia semalam kira-kira pukul 1.55 petang dan pihaknya menghadapi sedikit masalah logistik dalam urusan membawa pulang jenazah ibunya.

“Urusan membawa keluar jenazah sepatutnya dilakukan semalam tetapi tergendala kerana masalah logistik,” katanya.

Jenazah dibawa pulang dengan penerbangan MAS dan tiba di Malaysia Selasa malam.

Allahyarhamah dilaporkan ke Jogjakarta menaiki penerbangan tambang murah Air Asia, bagaimanapun syarikat tersebut enggan membawa pulang jenazahnya dengan alasan ‘tidak mempunyai lesen’ untuk berbuat demikian.

Kelewatan berlaku kerana MAS tidak mempunyai penerbangan terus Jogjakarta ke KLIA, pihaknya terpaksa menguruskan penghantaran jenazah menerusi penerbangan Garuda ke Jakarta terlebih dahulu sebelum MAS dapat mengendalikan urusan tersebut sehingga selesai.

Sementara itu, Jurucakap MAS berkata penerbangan menerusi anak syarikatnya, MASkargo Sdn. Bhd. (MASkargo) menyediakan perkhidmatan membawa pulang jenazah tanpa mengira waktu dan masa.

Jurucakap syarikat berkenaan, Muhamad Zahid memberitahu, secara asasnya waktu perkhidmatan berkenaan, termasuklah penghantaran kargo lain beroperasi sehingga pukul 12 tengah malam.

Bagaimanapun, katanya, MASkargo sentiasa bersiap sedia sekiranya perkhidmatan mereka diperlukan selepas waktu berkenaan.

“Perkara ini meliputi juga penghantaran atau membawa pulang jenazah dari luar negara. Secara asasnya, perkhidmatan ini disediakan sepanjang masa dan apabila diperlukan,” katanya. (Agenda)

Opposition crackdown shows reforms a lie, say Pakatan leaders

A man at last night’s rally holds a poster calling for the release of Chua, Tamrin and Haris. — Pictures by Choo Choy MayPETALING JAYA, May 24 — The security dragnet on opposition leaders and critics this past week is the clearest sign yet that the Barisan Nasional (BN) government was never honest in wanting real political reforms, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders told a rally here last night.

They told a crowd of some 5,000 that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had promised to repeal the Sedition Act as a step towards greater civil liberties but the arrests of four men under the law meant the reforms pledges were only designed to win votes in Election 2013.

“What were we promised? By Barisan Nasional and the minority prime minister? Did they not say that the era of government knows best is over? That democracy will flourish under the pillars of 1 Malaysia?

“Did they also not promise to abolish the Sedition Act? We have been had! We have been had by the BN government,” PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar told a PR “thanksgiving” rally last night.

PKR Batu MP Chua Tian Chang, PAS’s Datuk Tamrin Ghafar and political activist Haris Ibrahim were arrested yesterday for sedition and detained overnight at the Jinjang police station in Kuala Lumpur for investigation under section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act and section 124 of the Penal Code.

Najib had promised to abolish the law when he announced a slew of political reforms which included the repeal of the Internal Security Act not long before Election 2013 was held.

Chua, Tamrin who was once Batu Berendam MP and Anything But Umno (ABU) chief Haris were arrested separately yesterday afternoon in an apparent national crackdown on opposition supporters.

All three are believed to be detained over their involvement in a May 13 forum on the results of the just-concluded general election.

A view of the crowd at last night’s rally.The first to be detained from the forum was student activist Adam Adli Abdul Halim, who was charged with sedition in the Jalan Duta court complex yesterday morning.

The 24-year-old pleaded not guilty and was released on RM5,000 bail with his trial set for a mention on July 2.

Claiming the election had been rigged, PR has so far refused to recognise the Election 2013 results that saw Najib’s BN retaining power but with a smaller majority. His coalition had also lost the popular vote which makes it a minority government.

Former Umno law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim said the crackdown signalled BN’s fear towards the opposition’s growing strength, and that a clampdown was the only way for Najib to ensure his coalition would stay in power.

He also pointed out that the arrests under the Sedition Act were made despite Najib’s pledge to repeal the law.

“They knew that PR had won more than 50 per cent of the popular vote and that they had won through cheating… and now you have all these arrests when Najib had promised to abolish the Sedition Act,” he said.

Former DAP Selangor State Assembly Speaker Datuk Teng Chang Khim claimed the crackdown was engineered to appease Umno’s hardliners and consolidate Najib’s position as he is likely to be challenged at the party polls following his poor performance in Election 2013.

“He is in a mess. He’s afraid. So that is why he is showing the Umno hardliners that he can be tough,” he said.

Yesterday, a DAP lawmaker suggested that the Najib administration has shown the spectre of 1987 looms large behind its call for a “national reconciliation” through the Home Ministry’s crackdown yesterday against opposition figures and their media.

Newly appointed Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, however, defended the police action, saying the law enforcers must surely have the basis and solid evidence to make the arrests.
