HOPE LIGHTS AGAIN

The freeing of Raja Petra hit us like a tsunami.  Suddenly, we realise that there are more defenders of freedom that we are aware of.  The judiciary is supposed to be the last bastion of justice when all else fails and after all the brouhaha on the inactions following the verdict of the Royal Commission of Inquiry, the judgment to free Raja Petra has revived hope again for the institution of the judiciary.  We salute the courage of the judge.  Well done also to the habeas corpus legal team, Malik, Azhar, Neoh, Ashok et al.  Well done also to all those who sold Free RPK tshirts, those who bought them, those who lit the candles at the vigils at the Amcorp Mall Padang.  HOPE IS LIT AGAIN!

We, the MCA74justice, 

• support the release of Raja Petra.
• support the abolishment of the ISA.
  

We call on the MCA President to support the abolishment of the ISA, for at the end of the day, every man/woman deserves a fair trial irrespective of race, religion or creed.

Free RPK & Abolish ISA

We say that it is not sufficient to just review the ISA or introduce a Race Relations Act.. what is of immediate concern is that draconian laws that provides for detention without trial be abolished immediately.  The reason is simple: such laws are being abused to protect interested parties and its very existence is an affront to every Malaysian citizen.  After 51 years of independence,  it is time we move away from laws that compares our great nation favourably to nations such as Zimbabwe and Myanmar.  Go to this link, it contains an open letter calling for the abolishment of the ISA and the immediate release of Raja Petra and all ISA detainees.

Repeal the ISA

Bar Council EGM at MCA HQ

Today, ALL the Bar members who attended the Bar Council EGM  unanimously adopted the resolutions by the Malaysian Bar, with No votes against and No abstentions.  Among these resolutions are the repeal of the ISA and the immediate and unconditional release of Raja Petra.  The Bar Council invited 3 special speakers: Pushpa - the wife of ISA detainee Manoharan, Laila - the wife of another ISA detainee and the just released Teresa Kok.

This indicates that (ironically, given the Ahmad debacle) one thing is clear: those in power abusing the ISA do not discriminate based on race.

Incidentally, we, the MCA7, call upon Ong Ka Ting to clarify his pledge to "champion Chinese causes" in order to win back the support of the Chinese, as reported in Malaysiakini.  How does he propose to do so?  

On our part,  we say that the only way for the MCA to win back the support of the Chinese is to to champion Malaysian causes and not the BN way of each component party championing its own race.

MCA, Walk The Talk

FINALLY, MCA asked for RPK and Teresa to be released.  Two questions:

1. BY WHEN?

2. IF NOT RELEASED, WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Otherwise, it will be empty talk again, but what else is new?

Wave Your Flag

On Merdeka Day, there was a nary a Malaysian flag being flown, unlike yesteryears when Malaysian flags were stuck on the windscreen of most vehicles.

But on Malaysia Day last night, there was a SEA of Malaysian flags being waved.

We have to keep waving until all the innocent victims of the abuse and mis-use of the ISA is freed, then we can truly celebrate Malaysia Day.  We wave our flags by speaking up, by making our views known to the abusers of the ISA, by telling our elected reps to disassociate themselves from the abusers of the ISA by taking MCA out of the BN, by making known to all that We Are One Nation, irrespective of race religion or creed.

MCA, QUIT BN NOW

We note that when the Law Minister of the country threatens to resign over the (mis)use of the ISA, then the nation is truly under siege, hence the flying of the Flag upside-down.  It is clear that Zaid Ibrahim wants history to record that he is not part of the process that misused and abused the ISA.

Tell us, which MCA leader was part of the process to mis-use and abuse the ISA?  Usually such a move cannot be made without the involvement of the cabinet.  Such MCA leaders bring great shame to all its members!  We say, if you dare to do it, then Own Up if you are part of it, in order that we, MCA members, can Dis-own you!

If, however, no MCA leader was part of the process to mis-use the ISA, then our dear MCA leaders must resolve for MCA to immediately QUIT the Barisan Nasional!  Take heed of Zaid Ibrahim's example, and find some courage for once to stand up to the dictatorial elements within UMNO!  Don't let MCA members down for the last time!  Because if you let MCA members down again, MCA members will all leave MCA in droves and MCA will be as an empty shell with only its pathetic, gutless MCA leaders with their sorry cronies!
