I don’t get it – how many copies do they need in order to ‘study’ the materials for ‘content that may disrupt public order’?
(This notwithstanding that the books have been on the shelves for months, and oh, what’s that? Public order still intact?)
So why must each state slowly confiscate these books one by one? If the Home Ministry wants to study the book, we’ll happily give them one copy for free. Just leave the rest alone until you’re done.
Clearly this is an attempt to intimidate the bookshops and disrupt the sales. I’m also disturbed at how only one bookshop – Popular – seems to have been targetted. I hope they have the courage to face this ridiculous singling out.
If you do visit a bookshop, do have a look to see if there are still copies available – I’d love to hear.
In the meantime, I hope you’ll grab a copy quick for you and your friends before the crap really hits the fan. Once again, 3 ways to purchase:
1. Get one from your local major bookstore (I’ve previously seen them available in Popular, MPH, Borders, etc)
2. Order one online from Kinibooks.
3. (If you live within the Klang Valley) Place an order with whereisjustice@jelas.info, and we will do our best to get a copy to you at RM 30 (incl delivery costs), on a COD basis.
Apparently Home Ministry is now even ‘lazy’ (or shall I say, incompetent) to go the way of rule by law. It’s too cumbersome for them. So they decided intimidation is the better way than law. In fact, they aspire to become a lawless ministry now. Now we start to see a lawless Kerishamuddin.
