Blogger Penarik Beca arrested under Sedition Act
Update 12pm: The gathering is on! See you there!
According to Amin Iskandar, blogger Bakaq aka Penarik Beca was arrested last night.
Blogger yang menggendalikan blog Penarik Beca, ditahan polis malam tadi.
Menurut isterinya, empat orang polis datang kerumah mereka dan menahan Bakar (nama sebenar Penarik Beca) bersama-sama dengan telefon bimbit dan laptopnya.
Hanifah Maidin, peguam yang akan mewakili Bakar menghubungi polis sebentar tadi dan disahkan bahawa Bakar a.k.a Penarik Beca ditahan dibawah Akta Hasutan.
Kepada rakan-rakan blogger dan pembaca blog, marilah kita menyatakan sokongan kepada Bakar dan tidak akan tunduk diatas segala tekanan yang diberikan oleh pemerintah terhadap blogger!
Other details seem to be as of yet unavailable.
Pak Bakaq may not be as famous as RPK or get as much media attention as Anwar today, but I’ve been following his blog for some time and while not always 100% in agreement, have found his writings to be insightful, thoroughly consistent in their sincerity and informed by compassion as well as a steadfast commitment to justice.
I got an (unverified as of yet) sms saying that there will be a gathering at 2pm at the police Commercial Crimes Dept (CCID, in the Bukit Perdana police complex, to the left and back of the Bank Negara roundabout if approaching from parliament – the same place where I was held and questioned) to show our support.
I hope All-Blogs and the rest of the community will catch wind of this soon and solidarity and support for which they are justly famous. This persistent use of the Sedition Act against bloggers is extremely disturbing.
Come on man! how to read your blog when the backround is so dark and the writing is illegible.
WAT????? seriously???
aisk!

At this juncture I sincerely hope more and more BN leaders and members will realize that reform within BN isn’t going to happen – not in the next 10 or even 15 years – and that the only way to continue their political careers is to realign their thinking with Pakatan Rakyat’s and jump ship. Many of these BN leaders are afraid of being blackmailed, since the SB has got dossiers on almost all of them – but what if the public recognizes the urgency of the situation and agrees to forgive past transgressions while under BN? Then we’ll have much more than 35 crossovers – enough to wrest the wheel from those reckless and insanely incompetent drivers in Umno. This is a genuinelt hughe crisis and we cannot afford to be turn our noses up at taking over the federal government via crossovers. I congratulate the ex-MCA Wanity deputy president for setting a fine example!
Hancurkan kerajaan UMNO yg zolim kpd rakyat….
TAKBIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hancur umno…
TAKBIR!!!!!!!!!!!
