[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.

We know them too well. Indeed we must give them the greater condemnation. This could not happen if they had stood up front rejected the draconian action.
In fact this act serves as a warning to them, ‘don’t try to stand up for the nation – you are next’.
Boy, are they at a dilemma, and shaking in the pants and panties.
This is what is meant of the saying, ‘kill the chicken to frighten the moneys.’ But we could also say it, ‘kill the opposition to frighten the chicken.’

we support Teressa!Raja Petra and Reprorter Tan, what has Teressa said or did for being arrested under ISA? and Reporter Tan, she is preforming her duty, govt shd arrest Ahmad ISmail, pencetus isu perkauman, Ahmas Ismail is the one who had said those stupid words and many other reporters and DPM Najib was there as well. What kind of world here in Malaysia? upside down!

it appears Bee n has two alternative in their final days
1)give in and step down as by popular demand
2) continue to their usual business of marginalisation, wilful acts for prevention, realigned and resettled the population, divide and rule,
etc.
It appears time is the greatest enemy.
If this is the type of change that Bee end spoke in their GE promise, then some of us has to take the blame too but it is never too late.
For those who need to… just slap yourselves in front of another and shout lets begin again.
Lets breathe anew and look far and wide.
Lets all enjoy in doing it for our children and their children before the we are overrun by our competitors
I am sure the investors cannot wait forever.

The next PM? Mahatir no way too old. KuLi tried and fail so no chance. Najid so many stories about him therefore, no integrity and so no chance. Mujadin is the most like one but can he beat Anwar to the finishing line? So UMNO is is finish and irrelevant!!!!!!!!
Good bye. Start all over again!!!

Reporter Tan will be our new MP very soon.

This is totally OUTRAGES!!! The widespread use of the ISA is against fundamental human rights.
There is no reason to believe that the detained 3 could cause more harm pending a fair trial. There is no reason to believe that a court injunction could not be attained against them pending a fair trial.
I’ve lost faith in the peace of the country and I do not feel secure when I could be taken from my home and detained without trial.
The ISA should be abolished immediately and everyone be given a fair trial. Malaysia is very ill.

The leader and supporters of PR must be cool headed and plan what are the next move. It is the tactic of the gomen to get the PR members one after another starting from DSAI then Teresa…then..on n on.. Watch out for the pattern…!!! It is the gomen tactic to irritate PR and get us all. As long as TDM is in the picture, it is going to get very very dirty.
It is disappointing to see how low handed the gomen has been now. Democracy is dead in Malaysia. May RPK, Teresa & Tan can sail through this hard time.
#11 by ALLAN THAM on Saturday, 13 September 2008 - 10:28 am
I felt very sad and the feeling is very real. I have been not comfortable since the news break out. The worst was the ISA retention of the Sin Chew Reporter. It is really bad. I can not really reconcile with the action taken by the arresting and retention of this young reporter. I ask myself what has she done wrong by reporting what one has been say. The only reason that was that she has reported some that should not be say by anybody. But reporting something that should not be say was arrested what happen on those who has say. Well to be fair we should not ask those people who has say something wrong to be arrested under ISa, as we all believe ISA has not place in this democratic country no matter who you are.
People are confused now on what is right and what is wrong now?

My random thought today, 13 September 2008
A hopeless nation
We thought we got it, didn’t we?
It is a false spring
When push comes to shove
This is what we exactly are
A third world country
Governed by third world tribal people
Don’t ever say again we are a nation on the verge of greatness
We will never be
We have lousy politicians
We have stupid Malaysians
We are a hopeless nation
We waited too long to prompt us into doing something
Didn’t we support Mahathir as if he was our lord and saviour?
Then we woke up and gather our false sense of courage
We played exactly into the hand of tribal people
And the process starts all over again
See you all in twenty years if some of us are still alive then

This is yet another proof that UMNO is DAMN WICKED EVIL! ABDULLAH BADAWI IS DAMN EVIL JUST LIKE MAMAKTHIR!
Teresa Kok, RPK, and news reporters who spoke the truth are detained while damn racist Mamak Ismail is only “suspended” for 3 years from UMNO.
Who is next?
YAB Lim Kit Siang, Anwar Ibrahim, Tok Guru Nik Aziz???
Dear MCA, MIC & Gerakan members!
It is time for you guys to quit BN to join Pakatan Rakyat. Aren’t you guys ashamed to be part of this damn wicked evil UMNO government? Where is your good conscience?
I hope Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin will challenge Abdullah BAD Awi for UMNO Presidency.

Real despicable act! When Ahmad ismail uttered inflamatoty words, Pak Lah excused him because in election he can use the wrong words.
For reporting the truth, the journalists got ISA!!!
Theresa Kok already denied that she complain against the mosque. Even the said mosque secretary, a TRUE MUSLIM vouched that no such complains was lodged by THERESA. Yet Pak Lah choosed to listent to liars.

One way to down UMNO is to hurt it where it hurts most. No… not the groin but next to it…their pockets that have been lined with ill gotten monies.
Have a RAKYAT Economic Sanction against UMNO.
Stop all international events that prosper UMNO cronies like events in PWTC, visit Malaysia, Fly Everyday Free,
Also, fill up your petrol only for 1~2 days use, then wait n see where they will store the extra petrols if not already stored in your car all this while….
and many more ways

Again some of our politicians would not hesitate to use politics of race and religion to achieve their narrow, divisive, damaging and dangerous political aims at the great expense of the country.
These dangerous politicians playing politics of race and religion should be put away immediately – Islam is tolerance to Muslims and non Muslims. But grossly misguided Muslims are not and they a great danger to our society.
Our leaders must show real leadership now and not surrender their leadership of our multi racial and religious country to racists, bigots, religious extremists and criminals!!!

to other BN components parties, stand up and abolish the ISA, it is not an human act.
What a reporter basic duty is to report without fear the real situation, why ISA ?
What MP’s job is to highlight the problem face by the people, it is not an sensitive issue at all. In fact, there is nothing sensitive if we open and debate open mindedly, sensitive issue will become non sensitive and accepted by all, only if we sweep under the carpet, the issue will drag for century and is still sensitive without solution.
