Expect Malaysia to change? Expect these NUTS to change? Wait around till the sun rises in the Straits of Malacca! Only then will Malaysia really change!

Who is the tokoh Malaysia that Zak Hammaad supports ? The Mamakthir, of course ! He is one of those who write on chedet.com with the words “you are my hero”, “ayahanda yang saya kasihi”, “you are the best”, and “please say you’ll be back”.

If Zak Hammaad the foreigner has his way, not only RPK would go to Kamunting. Anwar and Badawi would have to share the same cell in Kamunting…..

zak hamaad,

Though everyone of us is entitled to our own opinion, I must say that a lot of us wonder what is happening in your upper-storey?
Do you see yourself as being anti-social?

Or you are aligned to certain party for good?

Whichever way, we definitely view your comments with deep reservations.

This is the 21st century my dear friend. New era calls for new approaches. Let’s not be cooked in the squat.

Change has indeed come to this country. The rakyat have to take second jobs, tighten their belts and change their lifestyles. And their take-home pay has decreased drastically, their life has changed for the worse

Friends, thanks for the iteresting feedback. I had quite clearly mentioned that change will not come about in and through the government or Umno and definitely not the police!

But the gist of my article was to show that there is difinitely a change — in the people — more people are speaking up, standing up and risking their comfortable middle-class existence to be involved in the political and social process.

True, a swallow does not a summer make. But when each of us believe that we are important enough, and that we can make a difference — we become a ripple of hope that in solidarity and synergy transforms into a wave of change — we saw this in the tsunami of March 2008 and I saw this for myself during the RPK’s court case!

If I did not believe in the “power of one” I would not have started writing :)

Cheers,
mj

True, IThanks Joy for the feedback.

“Our hope for change lies in the rakyat. The people’s involvement in the process that resulted in RPK being free confirms this.’

Naaah! It is just one judge earning his salary the only way he has been employed to do.

Martin Jalleh,I rejoy with you and many of you guys but be rest assured,it’s doing to be short lived.Remember,SHA is appealing the case of RPK and is now desperately arresting several BERISH members and supporters.As long as Umno/BN is in power,any change is a short change without a shadow of doubt. Judge Syed Ahmad is our hero but I ‘m afraid,in a short time,he will be coldstorage.Just mark my word and you guys will know what it means.Go ahead,be happy, have joy and spread this good news about RPK release as time is limited.

A new government of integrity, credibility and accountability, yes that’s what we want for our children! And God won’t say no. It was God’s victory, the just minded people’s victory, RPK’s victory and the brave learned judge’s victory, Amen.

I, like many others would have liked RPK to have done the initial 2 years of the internment, but I hope that the government is able to successfully appeal the court’s decision and have the bigot RPK back inside. This ruling also shows that the courts are indeed independent and rarely (if at all) influenced by Putrajaya.

It is neither the dictate of the opposition to ask the government to accept the court’s decision and not appeal!

Justice Syed Ahmad Helmy should be commended for his just decision. Our hope is that we have more men and women in the judiciary who are of his calibre. Let’s hope that nothing happens to him

If the detention of RPK under the ISA was illegal, as deemed by the judge, why is it that no action had been taken against the parties (persons) who initiated and signed for the arrest to be effected?

Justice must not only be done, but must be seen to be done.

A little step by RPK, a giant leap for the people…that’s what the change is all about.

That accolade should also go to the brave, sincere, credible, impartial and clear-minded Malaysian in Mr. Zaid Ibrahim, who despite great resistance and affront from his very own party people, kept on enlightening the public on matters which are important to them.

It is acts by such people, that the masses gained the necessary strength and insights into issues which have significant repercussions on the progress and direction of the nation’s growth.

They along with other determined and impartial characters and personalities hold the key to the future. Let’s give them all our undivided support and encouragements.

That’s the change that they have wrought and made possible…

Good luck Malaysia.

Welcome back RPK…..
We are happy for you and we are always happy to have you here…
For the phrase “Change Has Come To Malaysia”, i dont fully agree because we are still miles far away from acheiving it but still it is not very far away…
Time will prove it…..and so do we…

Change has come to Malaysia!

Not new really. It’s been happening over the past 3 decades.

The politicos and cronies get all the billions and millions.

When it trickle down to the men on the street – change is all they got – loose change, that is.

MJ is getting carried away. Change has come ? Nah, a swallow does not a summer make. The thieves are still firmly in control and eyeing ways and means to dip their fingers into the public purse.

Change has come? There can be no change as long as BN remains in power. The only change we can see is the spare change in our pockets getting less and less.

Wow. Stunning as usual from MJ.

Lets just hope there will be no manipulation or perversion of justice. Lets hope RPK does not get rearrested!
