[UPDATE - Teresa was taken to Wangsa Maju Police Station from the condominium and at 2.50 a.m (13th September 2008), she left the Wangsa Maju police station and was taken to the an unknown custody centre where she would be held for her police custodial detention which could be up to 60 days. After that, it is up to the Home Minister to decide whether to issue a formal order of detention without trial, which could be for two years, renewable indefinitely]
I have just been informed that Selangor Senior Exco Member and DAP MP for Seputeh Teresa Kok has been arrested under the Internal Security Act by the police at 11.18 p.m. when returning to her condominium in Kuala Lumpur from a Mooncake Festival reception in her constituency office.
Three police cars with over 10 police personnel stopped Teresa at the condominium entrance and took her away.

After 50 years of independence, ISA is still being used for politician purposes. These ISA may cause possibility of riot if keep going on. Please stop it and let’s make this country peacefully, justice and fair.
May i hope Teresa, Tan and RPK is being taken care well and will be released soon.

I can’t sleep thinking of our fellow comrades being detained behind the bars, how can i sleep for doing nothing as they did so much for us.

Tuan Yang Berhormat Perdana Menteri Datuk Sri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
I am Truely Sorry I have made a some Jokes About You before, If you read this. Please released them for god sake, you can’t FIGHT this evil regime alone YB, the DPM are not your friend. They’re coming for your crown and they want it bad.
Theres an option for you to stop all this nonesense, you can pull the plug YB! If you understand what i mean i Plea you to listen for the Nation interest, stop all this extortionist from taking over.
Today the BN component doesn’t have its quality nor dignity left for you to saved. You must PULL THE PLUG YB! STOP THEM NOW, You’re the only capable to stop this madness, its for the Nation and our history lies on your hands.

Double standard. When will Ahmad Ismail be even questioned, not to say be detained under ISA, by the police?
Malaysian population has never been so angry before against the police and the government. Do you police know that because of the people you have the job? You should serve the people and not the few politicians. You victimised the weak women that is inexcusable.
MCA, Gerakan, MIC, SUPP,…. should no longer cooperate with UMNO in marginalising the public. It is time you should act. You should break away from UMNO and let the deadwood sink.
I thought Abdullah has become a bit smarter, but not. He become even less smart and worse. The day to the hell is getting very close.
#4 by kanthanboy on Saturday, 13 September 2008 - 4:22 am
If the top leadership of MCA, Gerakan and SUPP wants to disassociate themselves from the action of UMNO in arresting innocent citizens by abusing the ISA they have to protest by leaving BN. They can not remain silent or just talk without action.
If they choose to remain as partners of BN then we will hold them responsible together with UMNO for all the abuses of the BN government.
#5 by pinkdolphin on Saturday, 13 September 2008 - 4:23 am
I can’t believe my eyes when I read about the arrests. This is a total madness!!!! god bless all 3 of them and I hope they are being treated with respect and well, wherever they are now. To the families, friends and the nation – be strong, stay united and pray hard.

I pray DAP will not have streets demonstrations!
This is exactly what UMNO wants..to have reasons for Emergency Rule.
This is a holy month for Muslims.
Let us all go to mosques…temples..churches …to pray for ALL arrested under ISA…that they be well and good.
Lets us pray for those families..their children….be well and good too.
Let us all pray….to forgive UMNO’s sins……and pray..we are determind to cast our votes for change of government….with no fear.
Don’t fall into this obvious trap of UMNO.
Teresa Kok…..RPK..and the newspaper reporter should approve our Malaysians … smart moves…to frustrate UMNO..

“So, the sword has been unsheathed.
But not for the course of justice and fairness.
But as a tool for intimidation and punishing the messenger, while that Ahmad rascal can swagger about with his road show on ketuanan Melayu and pendatang.
So, as of now 3 personalities who each in their way are trying to bring about a more just. fair , democratic and civil society in Malaysia have been incarcerated under the ISA.
I have no doubt many will follow.
So, even as I have misgivings about the morality of Anwar’s 916 plan, this development shows such concerns are misplaced.
The UMNOputras have no qualms about using all underhanded, evil and draconian tools at their disposal.
And, so now a public prayer that Anwar and his strategists have factored this into their plans , and if 916 has been derailed please make sure PR can form the next federal government as soon as possible”

I think BN is doing great damage to its party. Do you think the Chinese community, which has already been angered by Ahmad Ismail’s racist remarks, will still support BN after the arrest of Tan Hoon Cheng and Teresa Kok for no obvious reasons? Maybe BN thinks Chinese support is not important to the party.

#20 by KennyGan on Saturday, 13 September 2008 - 7:33 am
Khir (Botox Face) Toyo was the one who falsely wrote in his blog that Teresa approached the mosque with a petition to tone down their Azan. The Malay dailies picked this up and played up the issue. The Iman has reported to the police that no politician approached the mosque and their Azan was silent because their PA is spoilt. This was all reported in malaysiakini. But still Teresa was detained under ISA. Why? Isn’t Khir the one to be detained?
But racism is a zero sum game. The arrest of Tan and Teresa to appease the Malay community has inflamed the Chinese community. Unless MCA and Gerakan pull out of BN now, they will be devastated in the next G.E. Gerakan will be wiped out, MCA will the suffer the fate of MIC.
The Chinese community expect no less than pullout from BN to show their displeasure. Weak expressions of regret will not do. Gerakan and MCA, wake up or die!

the only person who i think can save this ISA arrest madness is the respected and beloved AGUNG and the Sultans of Malaysia !! but the problem is how to get in touch with them and convince them to get involved ??
simple. those arrested have to be charged in courts based on evidences and not based on hearsays or as wish by the government. police won’t act unless there is a proper order from home ministry WHO MUST HAS CONCRETE DOCUMENTS!! those arrested ‘illegally’ under the disguise of ISA are made abuse in favor of the present government who should be FAIR AND JUST to all no matter if don’t see eye to eye. These pitiful arrested people are HUMANS and have FAMILIES just like you and I !!
maybe the rakyat has to really be really UNITED this time to mean business before all things go upside down .

Pak Lah claimed lately that he stayed on not for pleasure but to complete reform. However, the ISA events that unfold clearly show he was lying – he is not interested in reform but stays back for personal agenda.

Can’t believe MP Teresa Kok been arrested!
Easy accused MP, politically detain innocents, might fulfilling personal politic interest! Now is Selangor, will it Penang, Perak, Kedah and Kelantan, or me (rakyat) be the next target or victim?
Personally disappointed to PM, DPM, HM, I/we encourage (persuaded us) not to have ISA towards Ahmad Ismail even he refused to apologize to publicity; but why must sacrifice others (senior journalist, PR MP) to cover own members’ mistakes!
308 & 826 lessons were not 100%, 916 yes or no, PR was rakyat government ministry! BN, petition for a general election asap, let us to decide! Personally, I can predict and guarantee PR will always RAKYAT choice, as to be next government!
One word to BN, disappointment, shame!
..
Malaysia in the grip of another ISA madness?

This is not Badawi’s doing. He is simply too weak and indecisive to do anything. He has lost control of the hardline faction within UMNO. Even Ahmad Ismail issued a thinly veiled threat against Badawi when the latter announced Ahmad’s suspension.
If there is one sure way to p!ss off the rakyat, this is it. UMNO will be consigned to the rubbish bins. Hear that, Kasim Amat ?

Faulty PA system the cause of ‘silent’ azan
Fauwaz Abdul Aziz | Sep 12, 08 2:59pm [extract]
Masjid Kota Damansara officials have denied that their mosque had ceased sounding the azan from its loudspeakers due to pressure from non-Muslims.
They clarified that it was a damaged amplifier that resulted in the calls to prayers to be made without the aide of a PA system.
Secretary of the three-week-old mosque Ahmad Redzuan Samsudin said a police report was lodged on Wednesday against former Selangor menteri besar Dr Mohd Khir Toyo for claiming pressure from non-Muslims and a state exco-backed petition had forced them to stop making the azan through the loudspeaker.
“Last Saturday (Aug 30), lightning during a thunderstorm had struck and damaged the PA system. Thereafter, we borrowed equipment from the SMK Kota Damansara in Section 10, but problems with the wiring further delayed us from sounding the azans through the loudspeaker.
“There was no pressure from non-Muslims,” said Redzuan when contacted.
#40 by Sauron on Saturday, 13 September 2008 - 8:44 am
Alas, i just wonder that why Ahmad still roam freely after his racial remarks in Permatang Pauh and escaped with so-called 3 years suspension but those people who just reported and supported the truth had been arrested by ISA…same old tactic used in the past to crush their opponents.
Rights and freedom of a person had be taken away in this long period of dark age. May god bless them.
