Yeah, I also wished that we have that magical moment where most crimes would be somehow recorded on video. You asked for proof yeah, I don’t think it’s easy to whip out a camera and ask the aggressor to pose while u shoot yourself being assaulted. Please be realistic. It’s a good practice to back facts with sources however, it may not always be possible. If mere quoting of sources means everything to u, then someone will open up the gates to question the veracity of your sources and then the sources of your sources and so on.
I don’t even want to go into what constitutes arrest, the validity of arrest and remedies for wrongful arrest as well as need for warrant b4 arrest coz it’s gonna be long. I don’t have the time,u may engage undergrad2 for tat matter. Suffice for me to say remedy for unlawful arrest lies in civil action for damages. Ok, proof- go n read the case of PP v Kok Khee Mind you it’s a very long n tedious process b4 u even can smell ur damages. The abuses are real. Proof? Try an offence urself, I would suggest a compoundable offence for u so u won’t get jail time. Oh, remember to wear a t-shirt stating “PR forever”!

correct, correct…. this also reminds me, who am I going to vote when I am be able to cast my first vote in the next election since I am finish my university in overseas, and also force my family, and friends not to vote these clowns anymore because they’ve been voting them since the they are eligible for vote!!!!!

It is sad to see widespread police abuses in this country. Where is the discipline of our police? PR please do something.

Even the stupid Haidar wanted the govt. to bear responsibility to read out the verdict on Lingam.

Nobody dare to challenge the court, u must either be influential, holding high post in BN and rich.

RM 790,000 is just sauce dipping amount, his son, and son in law have amassed billionth from shares and govt. projects. He just wanted to enjoy the priviledge that Tun Dr. Mahathir has leftover, by cancelling all his predecessor projects, the cancellation funds can then rechannel back to his family coffers.

After the opposition has won 5 states, he can rechannel more funds, by cancelling & delaying all the opposition states projects. He just have to act dumb, Malay 66% of them half of those Malays are mentally handicap. Thanks goodness the Chinese and Indian managed to group together 45%/66% of the Malay out from misery to vote the right party.

After all, in Malaysia if u r rich, u can steal, robe, rape, involved in vice and murder, can easily use ur wealth to prolong the case, e.g. Tantuya case, Lingam case, Soi Lek.

If there is a confusion over when a person is under arrest and when he is just being cautioned, it is not inconceivable then that protesting becomes translated to resisting arrest. Would it not be timely for Parliament to introduce the Miranda rights not just to protect your constitutional rights and mine but to inform you and me the exact time that we are under arrest?

Resisting arrest after all is an offence in itself and mandates the use of handcuffs.

When I wrote “When you are physically abused (arrested, cuffed and kicked) for speaking up…” I do not expect the words to be read disjunctively – nor in the same order they are written.

I believe that should absolve me from having to point to the law that does.

Good try!

damn bias and not based on solid principles, too much “sentiments” & emotion. Hope this will change with time and that all MPs will learn to mature nevertheless.

To those that don’t, too bad lah! we won’t see u again, when it comes “to the next round”

Press release must be something like this.After hearing complains form our people we decided to take action ourself, We don,t want an accident to happen.blah blah blah Anyway that ,s what any BN YB will do.

Don’t leave home without your video camera. You never know when oppoortunity might knock.

1. Lingam case
2. Attantuya murder case – seems to be extended forever
3. The inedible ink fiasco
4. The unsolved murder cases (there seem to be a lot these days)
5. High profile corruption cases

Can the PR do something, maybe with the assistant of respected retired police, AG, BPR (surely we need their help on these) to set up a commissioning body to investigate all these. Some sort like an independent body. It members shall be from lawyer, ex-police, accountant, doctors etc to monitor the progress and if necessary investigate of all these proceedings, cases.

Their role is to advise and monitor and maybe report to the PR and SUHAKAM as well on its finding. Their finding must be made public. Some sort like a shadow body to the AG, police, BPR etc. The 3 PR components, concerned citizen and the five PR states shall come out with the fund to sponsor the body. Get the mandate and endorsement from the King so that this body will be respected and given appropriate info and assistant from AG, police, BPR. Being outside the current system and well as out of influence of the present government, this body can provide a bird’s eye view and being transparent as well.

The Suhakam though is being independent and have respected members in it, but seems to go no where. They do not have the teeth to bite things.

I could be persuaded if there any video clip of showing these reps being assaulted.

——————

Ah, yes we need the video, of course. :)

I do not know what is it about Malaysians and video. It must be some fetish thing, I reckon. Apperantly video camera is a standard accessory that every Malaysian must carry, much like a cell phone. Unless, you are fortunate enough to have one of those fancy cell phones with the integrated video camera. But please make sure that the picture resolution is good enough though (at least 2 megapixel) so that the evidence is solid.

I seem to recall not too long ago, we had that clip in a certain hotel room in Batu Pahat. Due to the poor quality of the recording, the actual drama was compromised much to the dismay of viewers around the world. The much hyped video over promised, heighten the expecations of many but under delivered. Despite that, the character in this particular video confess but claimed no wrong doing and was at first quite unapologetic about letting his fans and his pants down. I think he came to his senses after lots of feedback and decided to retire. Good for him. Common sense did prevail.

There was also another video of a drunk reportedly talking rubbish over the phone. The quality of the video was so bad that the drunk could not recognized himself in that clip. Perhaps he still tipsy that moment when he was shown the video but the poor quality of the recording couldn’t have helped.

Key learnings from the examples above

1. Members of opposition parties must be equipped with a high quality video camera.
2. Send them to video taking classes and make sure that they take the test.
3. Only members that passed the test and are certified can stand for election.

Once the video clip is produced. We have solid evidence and the culprit(s) goes to jail right?

Wrong, we now have to prove the authenticity of the video. :(

Over the last three days most of us have gone through a rollercoaster ride over RPK’s case and have posted comments on blogs. To honour This Towering Malaysian I have compiled some of the quotes in my blog so that these last three historic days are etched in our history.

Yeah man, Bung is really stupid! But to protect Ketuanan Melayu, no choice! Have to be an idiot ma…

This is only one side of the story. The police force belong to UMNO, that’s a fact. Opposition politicians assaulted and mishandled, it’s expected, our UMNO politicians are getting physical because they fear losing power.
