YOURSAY 'This shows just how far the government goes in threatening the young. What she did may have been a bit rude, but it was not seditious.'
Teen apologises for stepping on PM's photo
Kopi O: Respect is earned, not given. Stepping on a person's portrait is an act of disrespect and insult, but it does not constitute a criminal offence.
There is no need for 19-year-old Ong Sing Yee to apologise to the public. If you were my daughter, I wouldn't even ask you to turn yourself in.
Let the police investigate, since they are so free while crimes are rampant. The last time I checked, they couldn't even get the pictures right in the so-called wanted list in Bersih 3.0 rally.
Even until today, they have failed to track down all the ‘yellow-shirters' on the list.
Malaysian Born: I hope that there is some explanation at some point regarding what it is she did that was seditious.
It can't be stepping on the picture of a politician, that would be ludicrous. So what is it that they took action on her for?
NewMalaysia: So what is the big deal? Everyone knows that the police have no case against her. If it really is sedition, she won't be released with just an apology.
Only the courts can determine if she is guilty or not, not the police. They have nothing to charge her with in court, this is just some intimidation tactics.
Gusnargh: This shows just how far the government goes in threatening the young. What she did may have been a bit rude, but it was not seditious.
Conmen: The handcuffing of Ong reinforced the sentiments of the Chinese electorate once again to throw out the oppressive BN regime. The tragic death of Teoh Beng Hock (TBH) sparked the initial fire that enlightened us of the injustice and wretchedness of Umno repression.
In both instances, the good-for-nothing MCA did not even come forward to defend the defenceless. Where is MCA in this instance when Chinese pride and dignity in the face of Umno oppression is put to the test?
Smalltowner: Ong should have taken the opportunity to add, "That is not the way to show dislike for him (PM Najib Razak). I truly regret my silly mistake and advise you all that the right thing to do is to reject him though the ballot box.

"People from Pekan, please do it the right way and not my silly way. I wish I am of age to register as a voter to do it the right way, but in any case I pray those who are eligible do so to vote out our known criminals in government on my behalf as well as the rest of the younger citizens of Malaysia."
NewMalaysia: If I was her, I would have definitely told the police that I saw an online photo of Perkasa stepping on and burning Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's (LGE) picture, but nothing happen to them.
"So I thought it was alright to do the same. Furthermore, it was at night time, so I mistakenly thought Najib's photo was LGE's."
Disgusted: The BN government and police seem to be good at bullying youths only, like the Dataran Merdeka student protestincident, the prime minister's flag incident as well as a few other student demonstrations in Ipoh campus and such.
Yet there was no action against Umno protesters and their lackeys, especially Perkasa. How does BN expect the youth to vote at coming general election? They are going to teach BN a lesson via the only power they have against them, with their votes. You can bet on it.
Cloudnine: Are we living in a police state? Since when is stepping on somebody's photograph seditious?
Wira: Confucius says honourable people apologise after they make mistakes. It is good that Ms Ong apologised at a DAP press conference. That makes you doubly honourable. Unlike Umno, Pakatan Rakyat folks don't condone kurang ajar (insolent) behaviour.
Ace Pure: Intimidation, bullying and double standards. Four disgusting words that the voting public should remember when the time comes.
AnonymousA: The police and BN are big bullies. Is there such a need to handcuff and detain her for 15 hours? No wonder real crimes are accelerating.
Ong, you did the right thing by apologising, but the public knows what to do come GE13. You are a beautiful young lady, with both looks and brain. You and the 10 others have opened Johoreans' minds. Thank you once again.
Anonyxyz: This is bullying of the highest order that only animals will do. Are we really Merdeka? Free from British rule, but replaced by BN goons. Let's do whatever in our means to highlight this globally.
Truth1: If Pakatan Rakyat is media savvy, they would be wise to blow up that photo of her in handcuffs, add in a catchy caption and spread it far and wide come the next GE.
Fairnessforall: Ong Sing Yee, you do not need to apologise to us as what you did was a brave act. We salute you.
Little Hantu: They have an entire police team guarding her, all armed with .38 pistols, and she is a petite 19-year-old girl who voluntarily surrendered herself, and yet they handcuffed her.
