The use of ISA only hardens the rakyat's little faith of what's left for the administration of AAB.
The originator of the racial incident gets a suspension while the reporter of a factual situation is held under ISA
I can see us any better than Zimbawe
This is absurdity of the current administration beyond redemption.
As for RPK, the police has interogated him numerous occasions, assuming finding nothing much they can do to charge him they now use ISA.
AAB has clearly and loudly said ISA will not be used, can you believe him after countless flip flops.
Any strand of faith i have in BN is now washed away forever.

So, who next? DSAI? It can clearly be seen that UMNO is getting real desperate!!

Rustam Affendi,
Your suggestion of calling out the chinese to berkumpul, might back fire! That was how 513 started. Chinese procession gave them UMNO shit-heads a reason to start a racial riot!. So, if there is going to be a plan where you want to involve them chinese, a proper plan need to established first.

Why spare Ahmad? He who started all is suspended for 3 years and the one who just did her job as reporter detained? How about the one who said the reporter should be shoot? Yand bersalah hidup bebas tapi yang tak bersalah duduk dalam ISA. Home Minister, you betul canggih lah!!!

Ahmad Ismail is the worst offender in the whole racial slur episode. He has brought the whole nation to the brink of chaos - almost on the verge of May 13! He is not only unrepented but has even given notice that he will be going on a national road show to create further racial hatred and tension in the country! Why hasn't he detained under ISA?

For doing worst than RPK, Ahmad Ismail is only suspended for 3 years? He can appeal when the storm blows over and could easily be pardoned soon next year. Anyhow, he is still eligible for the next election in 4 year's time.

Even those who merely did their job honestly as journalists and the newspapers that they work for are not spared. Sin Chew Daily journalist Tan Hoon Cheng has been arrested today under the ISA at her home in Penang. All she did was to report on what Ahmad Ismail had said.

Yet her crime was more severe than the person who actually committed the crime. It was as though a snatch thief was let off with a light reprimand but the person who saw and reported the snatch thief was whacked with the severest punishment and jailed for a long time! This is truly remarkable nonsensical logic! Has this tyranical BN Government suddenly contracted the mad cow disease?

I believe this will be the last straw that break the camel's back! If MCA, Gerakan, MIC or any BN component party can accept this perverse logic of UMNO, it is better for them to castrate their manhood now and forever be a eunuch and slave to UMNO!

Arresting Sin Chiew Daily reporter Tan Hoon Cheng under ISA is utterly shocking, totally unacceptable and unjust!!! Can she be punished for right reporting?? If not true reporting, how come Najib did'nt refute it but apologised instead. What is the rationale??? Any true Malaysian and any humane person would strongly object to such an actin. May God of Justice bring justice to this nation!!!

I cannot believe the government arrested the reporter for reporting what their UMNO member said. It's like arresting the eye witness and letting the criminal go free and worse of all they sent a lady to ISA prison while the fat racist gets to ride around in his mercedes.

I don't think they get it. The racists remarks doesn't make me angry with the Malays just because Ahmad Ismail is a Malay. It gets it furious with our government because Ahmad Ismail belongs to UMNO. The people's anger is directed at UMNO and the prime minister. Only UMNO makes this a racial issue.

Rustam Affendi,

Your call is a very sincere one. All of us are feeling the frustration and pain with the latest government's inept actions. I salute you for your guts and sincerity in your message. It is most exemplary of a true Malaysian fighting for Malaysian rights, the call to fight as one!

I will spread your message as far as possible and hope other concerned Malaysians will be on alert and take heed should the need arises. I truly respect your down-to-earth sincerity. Regards.

It may be a happy day for someone today, but 1 month down the road, this will be his biggest mistake. Don't judge the event too fast, it may be a blessing in disguise.

No emotion and reaction from us will frustrate provokers even more. Keep the cool, and keep the calm.

Rustam Effendi,

The lack of enthusiasm of young Chinese is partly the result of the daily dose of bullying and arrogance from sections of Malays.

That ranges from Najib & cousins with their crooked knive antics to primary school age kids in small towns behaving likewise.

The fact that no Malays are brave enough to stand up against those other Malays is also not at all impressive to the Chinese.

Where is democracy and justice? How does the govt justify itys actions? The person who cited racial seditious remarks was not detained under ISA but the reporter who reported the remarks was?
Orang cari makan lah, he/she reported as was remarked by Ahmad Ismail and if at all the contents are not to be published, it should be blamed on the so-called restricted "democratic freedom of press".If stricter guidelines has been given to the press to hide issues like that(from the rakyat) then that poor reporter's news would have been stopped from being published.
I urged those who have recorded that speech on that night, please come forward and give it to the police for the sake of justice. But a reminder, please make extra copies of it for keeps just in case the police maniupulated the original.

Dear Rustam Affendi Abu Rahim...,

I cry for you.... for your passionate plea to the young Malaysian Chinese to rally for justice, fairness, and democracy and to stand behind PR.... and not only to blog...... NATO.

If you prick out the blood on their hands and observe under the microscope.... you will find three words that best describe the young Malaysian Chinese and they are.......

KIASU.....NATO.....COWARDS

It's in their genetic code...... you can say all you want.... you can justify until kingdom come.....The Malaysian Chinese will take care of their stomach first.

This is a sad episode......... but Sudara Enffendi.... don't lose hope and keep your fire burning..... you will see light and you will become a leader for the people, of the people and by the people.

SALAM.

Rustam Effendi,

I commend the courage you show by offering yourself to be arrested under ISA.

You should however note that that non-law is not applied equally on all races as recent examples attest.

Case in point, the UMNO Malay that insulted the entire Chinese and Indian races is not arrested while the Chinese news reporter is.

Challenging the sharks from the mountains while calling the dolphins cowards is perhaps heroism in disguise.

Thank you, well said. I fully agree with you that young chinese are cowards. The chinese has been cowed by UMNO and the action of putting the chinese reporter into jail under the ISA while sparing the culprit, the barua from bkt bendera further tame the chinese.

To all Chinese, this is our country and we must protect and fight for our beloved country which is now undersiege by UMNO.

Do not argue the case for the sin chew reporter. She is just a collateral damage. Sheis being made an exanmple of, a warning to the chinese by the govt.

Chinese, must not be cowed and must show greater support for the PR coalition and never, never shall any chinese or indian for that matter, cast a vote for the BN coalition.


There shall be no turning back, whether MCA or Gerakan stays with the BN. Three must be a change in govt. The sign is very ckear to all Malaysians.

Cheekhiaw,

Rustam Affendi has certainly exhibited a lot of raw guts that cannot be denied in calling for Unity of Action amongst Malaysians against political oppression.

He should be supported all the way by true Malaysians without any hesitation.

BTW, are you below 30 years old? No offence meant, just asking...

Also, Admin, why was such a sincere posting by Rustam Affendi deleted now? I am sorry but I think the message was just coming from a true Malaysian, not really so emotional that it deserves to be taken out so abruptly. More Malaysian should be given the opportunity to read his good work first hand.

If the newspapers really wanna support the sin chew reporter, all the newspapers should not publish their newsapapers on Sunday and Monday. Two days of no publication would coz a stir in the government. They can arrest 1, 10 or maks 100. After tat? assure the press family is more then 100. then y worry. stop production/publication on sunday and monday if u wanna support your fellow colleague.
