Tamilchelvan A/L Masilamani who was arrested this morning at the House of Parliament has been released on police bail around 4.10pm. He was charged under section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing public servant in discharge of his public function.

He is now getting medical treatment at a general hospital [...]

Pre-script: Speaking of ISA detainees, I just found out that Gerakan Mansuh ISA might be organising a mass rally (ala Bersih?) for next March (what interesting timing!). Anwar, Hadi Awang and Kit Siang will be speaking at a rally to launch the campaign, November 23rd, 9pm, Dataran MPAJ, Pandan Indah.

If the following statement [...]

Update 16/11 am – Thank goodness, Paula is out. Reading her account brought back memories. I think Lucia will also be posting an account. I’m relieved, but still composing possible narratives for what is going on around the country. Maybe more after tonight.

It seems that every time I go for a wedding, the police [...]

Sadly, Selangor’s Chief Police Officer appears to have taken his lessons on public relations from his boss, Syed Hamid Albar.

Today: We had to attack because they were illegal and were disrespecting Negaraku.
Yesterday: We did not attack during Negaraku.

One of the first rules of effective communication is credibility.

Having backtracked on this, the CPO isn’t yet quite [...]

I’ll probably try to write a bit more on this later, but for now just wanted to point to what appears to be an extremely damning account of events surrounding Anwar’s famous black eye by the policeman tasked with investigating the assault.

Check it out!

Got this video of the Deputy IGP from a sharp commentator.

Direct quote from the first 20 seconds of the video: “Berhubung dengan siasatan dakwaan terhadap Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, yang telah melakukan kesalahan liwat..”

Just a slip of the tongue? Perhaps, but a mildly suspicious one under the circumstances.

It’s also very ironic, given that his whole [...]

updated: My humble apologies, I think I got Sharlinie confused with Nurin in the original post. Thanks to commenter for finding out. 

Sharlinie’s killer kidnapper may have struck again, according to the testimony of a recently escpaed 13 yr old kidnap victim.

Penculik Sharlinie Mohd. Nashar mungkin mengganas lagi apabila remaja yang hampir diculik baru-baru ini mendakwa, [...]

Well, I’ll admit that medical records are supposed to be confidential. I’m not sure how it all leaked out, but I’m still very suspicious about the police’s reaction to this whole matter.

The report of a doctor ruling out that Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan had been sodomised is an attempt to sabotage police investigations, said Deputy [...]

A year ago yesterday I was arrested, more on that in a minute. Thanks to the efforts of so many, and one especially, I got out. Sadly, this other guy wasn’t so lucky :(

How many more have to die before we get greater accountability? :(

TANAH MERAH: A 24-year-old youth died at the Tanah Merah [...]

update 12.30pm, 30/6: It appears that with extremely heavy heart and reluctance, I must add YAB Lim Guan Eng to the list of people to whom the post below applies :( I’m shocked that someone who has suffered terribly from malicious false charges himself could toe the “leave it to the police” line. I’ve always [...]

I’m informed that they are being held at Dang Wangi police station, Bob Kee among them apparently (despite best attempt to clarify, I got the wrong Bob sorry)

I’m also told there is a video of some beatings; we’ll keep an eye out for that.

I’m heading over there now (about 730pm, 26/8), where there is a [...]
