Was at the candlelight vigil against ISA as well as to commemorate the first anniversary of BERSIH gathering. the story you can read from Malaysiakini.

I was arrested while seeking out Ronnie Liu and the senior police officers in charge to make sure that everyone is ok.

the CPO Selangor issued the call to arrest me, and 2 guys came over to grab one arm each and pushed me towards the Black Maria.

I stated that I will walk, don't be rough but they tore my shirt instead. I repeated my call and 3 other police officers came at me, one with the knees into my belly while another attempted to kick my shin.

They then chucked me against the back of the Black Maria truck and shoved me up despite me stating that I can climb myself.

Apparently after waiting some 2 hours plus, it appears that they are going to keep us for the night here, and charge us tomorrow.

Weng San was also assaulted and had major bruises and some bleeding on the face. He saw the police who assaulted him here at the station, and Ronnie confronted him for his name. he appeared shaken by the demand and he refused to give his name and gave insted some very rude retorts.

Tony Pua certainly deserves my respect for what he has done on ISA, unlike those leaders from MCA, Gegakan and MIC, who are still kissing the axx of UMNO.

All those previously and now being battered by the police officers should take note of their names and numbers and probably their 'dog faces'.

When the governemnt is taken over, we will bring these bastards to the courts and they shall spill the beans on whose orders they were acting upon.

We understand they have been threatened too, of their jobs is sub-ordination takes precedence in them.

Our ultimate is to get those top bastards and charge them 'to glory'!!!!!!!

Your misdeamonors shall be dealt with......'Tukaran Akan Datang' !!!!!!!

I was there too with my teenager son. He has now caught the fire "NO to ISA" because he saw how innocent and friendly people are intimidated unfairly and power abuse. If the police and the botak minister think that by using brute force and intimidation can quench the spirit and fire against injustice, then they are wrong. History has proven time and time again that brute force just bring more people united to the cause. When are the people in MCA, Gerakan, PPP and MIC going to take action and do something rather than talk only. Being vocal without action is meaningless. Thumbs up and salute to all those who are brave to stay put in the vigil and make a stand for what is right. Salute to the priest and the nuns too because they believe in making a difference and standing in for the righteous. Would ISA still exist if every Malaysian is against it?

Because UMNO loves ISA and ketuanan Melayu. They and police gangsters will intimidate ppl to stop the demands to abolish ISA. No ISA, then these UMNOshiteras and police cannot operate in a peaceful environment, they only understand aggression and intimidation.

Yesterday gathering sees people from all walks of life. Families with children, no unruly behaviour, a gathering of peaceful people. There was no guns, sticks, iron rod, parang in our hands....only candles. Somehow the FRU & the police require brute force and rough handling to make arrest. The violence was not from the people who gathered there but by people who were suppose to protect the week and to help the defenseless. And as a tax payer, I am paying their salary so that they can beat up on innocent people. NO MORE.....I will spent all my energy to ensure this government get kicked out. I will preached to my family, relative, friends and their friends to vote this government out in the next election. By the way Mr.Policemen voting is non violence.

What I predicted after the first vigil comes true. As the support gets bigger, they will declare the gathering
illegal. Reason: "National Security"! Mr Albab want to tebus his 'lost KEMALUAN' against our dear Pete.

These civil agencies which were suppose to protect the people and NOT their polictic masters had all along abused their powers and ass-ly priorities.

Bullying,assaulting and abusing peaceful loving, country loving citizens.A cowardice act to shield themselves and armed with batons,interrupting civic minded citizens.Who had gathered to fulfill their social obligations, along with family members and friends.

Singing the national anthem is now seen confirmed to be a threat to these bunch of lawless law breakers in RedHats and Blue.

A picture is worth a million words! Proof of RedHats and BlueMen dispersing crowds at peaceful gathering during singing of national anthem...courtesy Malaysiakini.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAJik3wYAVw&fmt=18

Our MPs must learn some self-defence as they do not have bodyguards and ANJING to protect them (and don't need them as the Rakyat respect and love them) from these UNLAWFUL ANJING force used by the DESPOTIC Barisan Najis Govt., Najis Rosak, and Shit Hammered AllBlur to quell Rakyat's Dissent against them - shades of Maha-Shitheadism coming back !!

Or I could offer my services as bodyguard for functions such as these and at least try and neutralize some of these RABID Anjing who think they are so tough when they go overboard and get overzealous in their performance of their ANJING duties ... Let me know ...

I know how it feels coz I have faced the same treatment of brutality before.
They think they have fool of power just becoz they are the police. Take off the uniform and don't hide under the department and see if they still have the guts. This buggers are only bold when in a pack. Just like those stray dogs.

What happened on'Bloody Sundaÿ'will go down in history as another black day for Malaysian politics. We must let the rest of the world know this dark and evil actions of the governing authoritarian regime in this country. The United Nations must be told of the repressive brutal actions metted out on innocent people whose only crime is to be asked to be heard in a peaceful manner. This time the government has gone too far. Their brutal and high handed treatment against a group of peaceful demonstrators is totally unecessary and unwarranted. We can overcome, YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! and WE WILL!.
