What a bizzare order:

According to a state PKR leader, the police have imposed several conditions on PKR when issuing permits for the ceramah.

Among the main restrictions are:
* No instigating the crowd by questioning the Perak sultan’s decision
* No mention of the Altantuya issue must be made
* No racial and religious issues can be [...]

Good people doing good work, check it out!

The outcome of the last general election had everyone talking about the reawakening of people’s power. But how far has this political transformation resulted in the improvement of our lives as Malaysians?

The FreedomFilmFest is now accepting entries for video proposals with the theme “Real Change?” [...]

pre-script – Again, I must point you to delCapo’s photos of Bkt Gantang, and Viveg (via Haris) of Bkt Selambau. Here are some I liked:

pre-script: If you haven’t seen delCapo’s pics from Bukit Gantang, you really should :)

Almost all BN politicians had begun downplaying expectations as the Kuala Terengganu campaign began. And now, we see exactly the same thing! Perhaps we can look forward to the same result :P :)

Remember, people like Najib and gang have access to [...]

Conspicuously present as at almost all Umno meetings: threats, threats, threats.

There are calls to go after online writers, warnings against ‘overly brave’ non-Malays, talk of the methods used by Najib’s father post-1969 to ‘restore order,’ and in Hisham’s outgoing speech, plenty of allusions that foreshadow an arrest of Anwar.

For all the Obama/KeADILan talk of change [...]

I thought I would do a post just quoting some of the things said at the Assembly.

I think the following quotes demonstrate a consistent pattern – corruption, racism and divisiveness come across loud and clear:

Musa Sheikh Fadzir, Bukit Mertajam, Penang (MK and MI) : When others question our religion, our special rights, who defends [...]

Let’s do a quick analysis of some of the voting results, starting with the Vice Presidents:

Ahmad Zahid Hamidi – Bagan Datok, Perak (1,592)
Hishammuddin Hussein – Sembrong, Johor (1,515)
Mohd Shafie Apdal – Semporna, Sabah (1,445)
Mohamed Khaled Nordin – Pasir Gudang, Johor (1,397)
Rais Yatim – Jelebu, Negri Sembilan (491)
Mohd Isa Abdul Samad – Telok Kemang, Negri Sembilan [...]

pre-script: FYI, apparently another ceramah at Bukit Selambau tonight was broken up because of FRU harassment.

It’s almost embarrassing to say I’m shocked. You’d think we’d be used to it by now. But maybe it’s a good thing that we still cannot abide by these discrepancies between word and deed; let us never come to [...]

Update: Malaysiakini article here.

What on earth is going on?

Quite frankly, I’m surprised at the amount of repressive measures, all lumped in one day.

First we have the outlawing of Suara Keadilan and Harakah, at oh so convenient timing, and now, I’m informed that tonight’s ceramah (5,000 strong, with women and children in attendance) at Bukit Selambau [...]

Wow. If Abdullah doesn’t do something to defend his people, he’s sure gonna be spat on when he leaves.

Norza seems the latest victim in an early effort to ensure that Najib has everyone ‘in power’ under his thumb. If I were in Umno (haha), I’d be wary of so much power in one man’s hands.

Sure, [...]

Here’s how I would distill the decidedly murky waters surrounding the Selangor water scandal.

If I were the Selangor government, I would hammer these points and these points alone (or maybe even whittle it down even more). The facts are gleamed from a (slightly over wordy) brochure produced by the Selangor State Government.

To recap, the Selangor [...]

Update: Yet another shot of repression fired. Naked police complicity in Perak, how much did they get paid?? (plus, sounds like the cop has got some royal blood).

Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim’s ceramah tonight in Taiping, Perak has been declared as illegal by the police.

As such the police have warned the public not to participate in [...]
