Don’t fear a dying beast’s last strike, but don’t fall for its ruse either

Viveg commented at 12.59am : Situation in Bukit Mertajam is quite tense. Just came back from BM police station. Received call from friend that people in Raja Uda, Butterworth (Chinese area) are extremely angry. Went to the Berapit Kampung Baru to see a friend and he informed me that the mood is the same. They know where to push the people to make them angry. Please help put up a post to calm down the people as Malaysia Today, People’s Parliament and Malaysiakini has the widest coverage. I just don’t want the people to walk into the trap they have set.

abu sayap commented at 1.18am : I would like to call upon all Malaysians to do these:

1. Remain calm

2. Do not do anything rash

3. Do not take to the street

4. Do not be instigated by people to demonstrate

5. Just voice it out in your blog, your comments to the blogs, and inform your friends and relatives about the situation

6. Call your Aduns or MPs and voice out your objection about these arrests and urge your representatives to voice out

7. Members of political parties, sms your leaders to pressure them to voice out

We shall object to these draconian acts by using civility and do not fall into the traps of giving the big brother a chance to declare emergency rule……

Viveg’s got every reason to be concerned and abu sayap’s advice is spot on.

Yes, we must just pray and be calm. BN are trying very hard to provoke the rakyat by simply arresting the innocents thus making the rakyat to walk the streets and cause turmoil creating another 513. We are not that stupid anymore ! We wont and will not fall into their traps !

Malaysian brothers please do not fall into the trap of the government. The government is trying to create trouble so that they can arrest the rakyat under the ISA. Please stay off the streets and the crowd. You will notice the crowd is created by UMNO and it is their camouflage to show the impression that the people are going to protest in the streets. Do not fall into their trap.
Think rationally and act rationally. Do not be angered by them.

This is the first time in the history of this nation, that Malays, Chinese, Indians and all other races are burying their common anger deep inside their hearts, against a common enemy which has ruled this nation with an iron fist over the last 50 years!

There has never been a time in the history of this nation that anger so anguished, waiting to be released at a time and day of its own choosing!

This is the first time in the history of this nation that all races have acceded to the noble call of one man, to remain silent regardless of his fate!

And this is the first time in the history of this nation that so many men and women of all races are willing to defend the cause of one man who is willing to die to see his nation free!

For this is the first man in the history of this nation who uttered these words:
“There should be no bloodshed and loss of life. And ask the Malays in the opposition to come out in defence of their non-Malay brothers and sisters and warn the Umno Malays, in no uncertain terms, that they take to the streets at the risk of facing fellow Malays from the opposition who will defend their non-Malay brethren to the last drop of their blood. I, for one, am ready to stand by my Chinese and Indian comrades. So let Umno be warned.”

The only way that UMNO can survive now is by the use of emergency powers. It is pushing the people and the opposition to give it the excuse. STAY CALM. LET DSAI DO THE NECESSARY & WAIT FOR HIS DIRECTIONS.

DON'T FALL FOR UMNO'S PLOY.

Are all these the sole decisions of UMNO or are these BN? Your actions now in the face of these outright barbaric injustice will be very revealing. No more empty words of protestations from you.

Every single BN MP is personally accountable now for what UMNO does.

THAT GOES ESPECIALLY FOR THE SABAHANS AND SARAWAKIANS.

This is no more about race. It is about the nation. We are watching you. In any case, you will not survive the next general election if your stand is against the justice and the will of the Rakyat for change.

We thought TDM was bad, guess he trained his successor well..sigh

I just hope I live to see all these people receive their dues for all the sins that they are committing now. May Allah SWT protect the citizens of Malaysia from the injustices of in power.

Let's Fast and Pray for Wisdom, Peace and Tranquility to prevail. It is their ploy to divert attention from their 'imaginary hidden secrets'. If PR form new Government, they would be 'Jobless ', too much transparency, their survival instinct manifestations are expected. So be calm at all cost.

Section 2 of ISA 1960(revised 1972)reads - "terrorist" means 'any person' who -
"terrorist" means 'any person' who - must fulfill sub (a), (b), (c).

Raja Petra K , Tan Hoon Cheng, Teresa Kok , all 3 do not fall under meaning of 'any person' since they are not "terrorist". Their detention are illegal, Void and Ultra Vires against the ISA 1960 and Ultra Vires against the Federal Constitution.

'Any person' must be proven 'beyond any reasonable doubt' to be qualified as " terrorist" before any or all provisions of ISA can be invoke or used !

Syabas to all Peacemakers.

The arrest of Teresa Kok is blatantly unjustified. She has already denied the accusation that she complained about the noise of morning prayers at a mosque. The person making the accusation is none other than Khir Toyo.

It certainly looks like they are trying to instigate people knowing that such blatant actions will cause anger and frustration. Lets keep cool and respond without giving them an excuse to crackdown further.

Yes I agreed.Whatever happened do not go to the street..They are just waiting for it to widen the ISA dragnet...I strongly believe PakLah had lost his grip on UMNO.I believes its Najib who control the party now...

Remember that malays have got nothing to do with Ahmad Ismail statements.I totally sympathized with Yb Theresa Kok.It seem UMNO are trying to stoke religious sentiments after malay sentiments didnt work..If they cannort find a true issues they will invent one.I hope DAP leader must be very careful when issuing statements.Please the moles in your party.

Umno's ruse in inciting racial is obsolute now.After 50 years and after loads of intermarriages, we have in our midst an indian brother in law,a chinese sister in law and a cousin's wife who is a malay, ah I almost forgot my relatives in Sabah,.,.my uncle's brother in law who is a KAdazan and I think I will be getting a new niece into my clan from Sarawak.,.,.We are all a big family, and ARE WE GONNA ALLOW UMNO DISMANTLE THIS FAMILY?.
Pitting us against one another,are we so naive to kill our own relatives.
To the desperados in UMNO, I think the time has come for you to back down and leave.,.Just bcos you have the power now, does warrant you to use draconian modes of governance,.,.How many can you put behind bars, 1000?,10000?,100000?,1000000?.,.The more you put behind bars, the more your inferiorty complex surfaces and in the end you can stay in this country with just your own families till a day when a son in law comes about to sodomise you,your wife and your daughter,and in the process instill some knowledge into your skull, but by then its too late,YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ROYALLY screwed WITHOUT REDEMNTION.,.

It is a desperate and despicable act by UMNO to cling to power using religion and race to divide the peace loving Malaysians and destroy the country in the process. For its own selfish ends, UMNO had detained these people under ISA as scapegoats in their internal struggle and to shore up their fledgling malay support using religion and race as a medium. In the case of RPK and Teresa Kok, it was religion and for the journalist it was race.

In 1987 there was a massive internal struggle within Umno which saw Mahathir moved to attack exterior “enemies” in a massive Operation Lalang to strengthen his own fledgling position within UMNO. More than 100 politicians, social activists and religious officials were detained under ISA in Operation Lalang in 1987 over the same pretext of race and religion.

This time UMNO is facing 2 problems in one go. There is now an internal struggle within UMNO like in 1969 as well as fledgling support from the malay voters like in 1987. So their natural instinct is to apply a combination of draconian actions to solve their own internal problems.

Like in 1987, this ailing regime borrowed the same modus operandi of making “exterior enemies” out of the slightest excuse to justify a Operation Lallang II to strengthen their own fledgling position with the malays. However flimsy the excuse, their intention is to make one race hate another and appease one race by arresting the other to shore up their own fledgling support! These people held under ISA including the BN component parties have been used as pawns in UMNO internal power struggle! The unfortunate thing is that these people have families and lives to lead. But their lives have been severely curtailed by this tyrannical UMNO Government!

Technically, Malaysia is already under emergency and has been since 1969 (yes since 5-13). ISA is part of that emergency law that lets the government do anything they want--gulags, thought police, every dictator's trick in the book.

If Anwar can't make the crossover happen, and soon, it's up to the RAKYAT to throw the fascists out. To do that, I think the whole of KL would have to stop, like a General Strike, to get the fascists' attention. Have one million people turn up at KLCC and demand that UMNO disappear, and the entire Klang Valley shuts down, just like that. Real PEOPLE POWER, just like in the Philippines in 1986. Now THAT's change you can believe in.

Fully agree with what Haris posted. It is a dying strike of a wounded animal (with mad cow disease). Just stay cool. Don't be aroused by any sms'es. Sept 16 shall come and nothing they can do if we ignore these temporary provocations.

I would also advise calling off the candle light vigil, not to say fearing them, but not to grant them any excuses for crackdowns. Sept 16 is only 3 days away. We can wait. We have waited long enough to be patient. Oh! yes, remember hawkeyejack wrote about Sept 16 on I Ching? Take it with a pinch of salt, but read the article and comments again>

To avoid violence, there is only one thing to do.

All Malays, Chinese, Indians and other citizens that supports a peaceful united Malaysia must resign from BN to show this despicable government that the people of Malaysia has had enough of their arrogance, corruption, racism and hate politics.

For if you remain in BN, you will be accomplice to BN's violent plan to remain in power.

Let's Pray and not indulge in anything that could lead to the trap set for us. Let's unite and pray for Malaysia.

Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared. In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians everywhere.
Ephesians 6:13-18 NLT
