VOXPOP 'If the documents are false, then it is slander and action can be taken. If they are true, then it is a sad day for the monarchy.'
Blogger held under OSA over articles against Johor sultan
Anonymous #19098644: If blogger Syed Abdullah Hussein Al-Attas' claims are false, then why are the authorities using the Official Secrets Act (OSA) against him?
What is so secret about the documents? Indeed, are they true or false?
If they are false, then it is slander and action can be taken. If they are true, then it is a sad day for the monarchy and its members.
Indeed, all citizens of Malaysia are equal before the eyes of the law. Are the authorities saying that there is one law for the people and another for the monarchy?
YF: Prior to Merdeka, it was the Malay political writers of the time who had helped create the awareness of independence from the colonisation of the ‘mat sallehs'.
Most of these writers were persecuted. Now the same is happening, only this time it's the Malays who are persecuting their own. What has become of this country?
Sa Tombs: Everything that is not to the liking of the establishment is classified OSA.
All that this government, and anyone connected with them, want is apple polishing and you will be alright. Otherwise, you will be charged.
Mob1900: By making the arrests using OSA, they have removed any doubt on the credibility of the blogger's writings.
Lim Chong Leong: The police claimed that "the articles he (Syed Abdullah) posted in his blog Uncleseekers contain provocation, sedition and insulting content against the Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, the crown prince, leaders and state government employees. The blog also published confidential documents."
From the statement made by the police, it looks like the so-called confidential documents are only ancillary to the issue.
Not Confused: You can arrest and lock up people for what they say or write, but you can't lock up what they and the rest of us are thinking... at least not yet!
Makorang: I took two days to read all the 64 parts in the Uncleseekers blog. There is nothing that I have not heard through the gossip channels, but I think this is the first time somebody took the trouble to write it down.
I hope he will be given his day in court.

Cantabrigian: The best way to confirm the truth is by doing everything necessary to conceal it.
