I don't know la, for the past few days only we have so many news that makes me wonder how deeper can this country sink. Not long ago we have this racist Akh-med Ismail calling Chinese as 'pendatang' and don't deserve equal rights (so much for the promoted 'Malaysia Truly Asia, all races live in harmony' bullshit). Then we have a component party Gerakan of BN severing ties with BN after Akh-med told them to get out just because they find his racial slur offensive. After that Raja Petra from Malaysia today got arrested because he was a 'threat' to national security for his website's content. And then yesterday we have Sin Chiew reporter Tan Hoon Cheng and DAP MP Teresa Kok arrested by the Internal Security Agency/I-Simply-Arrest (ISA) because they were touching 'sensitive' issues.
Tan was merely reporting about Akh-med and then she got arrested (reporter getting arrested but not the perpetrator, plus the perpetrator refused to apologize and had other UMNONO dudes apologize for him). And Teresa? She was accused of getting involved in a petition to tone down the azan, and she was merely handling the petition because she was the MP that handle the paperworks regarding the issue, so she HAVE TO be involved in the petition (plus the mosque authorities confirmed Teresa was not demanding them to tone down the call of prayers). The modus-operandi; ISA. Why of all the agency use ISA to take in these people. It's like using a STIHL chainsaw to cut a 3 years-old boy's birthday cake.
As if that's not enough, we have another deja vu of Hindraf that took place not so long ago. This time it involves the Orang Asli (Natives). They were peacefully and were reassured by the police they can march to the King to give the letter demanding equal rights. Alas like Hindraf it turned sour and here we go again.
Now looking back, I wonder where did this country took the wrong turn. For the time being I'm just gonna wait till 9/16 and see whether this big date will bring solution or bring this whole country down deeper into the dip sheet. Fingers crossed, we won;t get down to the level where sutdents like me are forced to take it to the streets to protest against the government like what the French kids did.
