1blackmalaysia today… and if you wear black, you’ll be arrested!

believe it or not! yes, true. you wear black fashion, police will catch you! yes, the IGP had warned you not to wear black today, you hear that? ain’t that ridiculous or what??

well, who cares! i’ll be wearing black today and let’s see if any police approach me. what? is it a crime now to wear black? maybe the police meant more for those in ipoh but even so, there is no crime for wearing black. even if people want to gather near the perak state assembly building and wear black, what crime is that? are the police going to catch everyone who wears black, whether they are near of far from the building? what happened to those people who don’t know head or tail (or who just couldn’t care) about this death of democracy stuff in perak, and who will be wearing black as their everyday normal shirt – will they too be hauled up? real ridiculous!

so the police will be out in full force hunting for people who wear black to arrest them, instead of out there hunting for mat rempits or snatch thieves? it’s so obvious to all of us that the police place priority in ‘bullying’ the rakyat who just want a peaceful gathering than in doing their job of catching criminals. look at the by-election (eg during nomination day, ceramah) – police out in full force, and now, today, the police also will be out in full force.

after we heard of wong chin huat being arrested, within a day, we suddenly now hear of 19 people being detained/arrested! yes, 3 people from the ‘solidariti anak muda malaysia’ group were arrested when they turned up to deliver a birthday cake. one of them, badrul hisham @chegubard is from PKR.

a group of people gathered for a candlelight vigil in front of the brickfield’s police station where wong chin huat was detained, and 14 of them were suddenly detained! (but released later).

wong ching huat 1, 3 from solidarity anak muda malaysia, 14 from the group in support of wong chin huat = 18. who is the 19th person? mat sabu! PAS’s vice president! and why was he arrested? seemed that he had planned a mass prayer in ipoh today and the police became fearful of a huge gathering. wah! now want to gather to pray also can get arrested!

farida, whom i know casually and met once (she’s the sister of lawyer and blogger haris ibrahim) wrote a letter to malaysiakini saying rightly that nowadays it takes so little to get arrested. she was referring the the arrest of wong chin huat. wong merely spoke up, urging people to show their democratic rights by wearing black to mourn the death of democracy – and for that he was arrested. then wearing black will get you arrested too and so is sending a birthday cake to the PM and organising mass prayers.  oh and don’t forget, holding candles outside a police station too. what the hell are the police up to??? :mad

all these arrests – is it a start of najib’s crackdown? and to think that some people applauded him when he released 13 people from ISA after he took over the PMship on day one. not even 100 days into his PMship, he had already shown his true colours? a PM who ruled with an iron fist – every little thing, arrest, arrest, detained, detained. stifling dissent at any cost?

notice that wong ching huat was charged under the sedition act and it seemed that mat sabu too would be charged under the sedition act. remember RPK was also charged under this act for his article ‘let’s send altantuya’s murderer to hell’.  once the word ‘altantuya’ is mentioned, there is no escape to mention najib’s name! hmm… so is this sedition act invoked against wong chin huat and possibly mat sabu, means that more is to come – if you say something, be careful, the sedition act might fall on you. what something? possible something about altantuya!  aha! najib’s weapon! why didn’t he want to use the court as his weapon?

why was the sedition act so easily use on common people like wong chin huat? i had blog before many times of more harmful seditious remarks by khir toyo, khairy (and maybe a few others) and the very seditious utusan malaysia too – yet no action was done on them at all. oh, and you are telling me the police is impartial?
