YouTube video of police violation of sanctity of Parliament with unprecedented mass arrests of BERSIH activists in parliamentary precincts yesterday, Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007.
What was their crime? For upholding the Malaysian Constitution for wanting to have free and fair elections?
Writers Alliance for Media Independence chairperson Wong Chin Huat held up the Constitution and sang Negaraku when he was arrested by the Police in Parliament yesterday to tell the world that he committed no crime except for his love for the country and to protect and promote the Malaysian Constitution.
See this most touching and memorable episode captured for posterity by Lim Swee Kuan in YouTube.
Also arrested at the same time as Chin Huat were Suaram executive director Yap Swee Seng, Centre for Independent Journalism executive director V Gayathry (both on YouTube) and Pusat Komas programme director Mien Lor.
DAP MPs Chong Eng (Bukit Mertajam), Fong Kui Lun (Bukit Bintang), M. Kulasegaran (Ipoh Barat), Chow Kon Yeow (Tanjong), Fong Pokuan (Batu Gajah), Lim Hock Seng (Bagan), Chong Chien Jen (Bandar Kuching) and I were taking the four for lunch outside Parliament when the police swooped and intercepted them while in parliamentary precincts as if they were “top villains” of the country!
Shame for Parliament! Shame for Malaysia!

Motto of PDRM – “Bersedia, berkhidmat”. Who should they bersedia to and who should they berkhidmat for? Think where their pay is coming from? Ungrateful XXXXX

We still have in Malaysia Rukun Negara around
Though it often appears to remain in the background
With all its principles still solid and sound
Let’s use them more often to turn Malaysia back on its ground

Samuel, don’t ever mention the existence of the Rukunegara. It is but a piece of paper fit for wiping asses. I have been drilling on just four words in this sacred document but no one seemed to be able to offer an answer. What did they mean when they wrote “membina masyarakat yang adil” in the Rukunegara? Can they ever be adil if the NEP is kept alive? Can they be the least bit adil when the special bumiputra rights are maintained? And they have the guts to bring this sacred document to outer space to read. Or perhaps they feel that this document is only fit there, when no one is able to hear what has been read?
Since its inception, and till today, how much has the government done to ensure the implementation of what has been written? It was but a smoke screen to blind the other races after the May 13 incident and only fools would believe what has been written.
And to imagine that we (the rakyat), especially school going children, were made to swear to this “piece of useless paper” in the seventies under the hot sun during school assembly. This would have made every one of the school children (myself included) commit blasphemy, swearing something which is untrue.
