Justice, Where Art Thou?

Well, as we speak of justice and freedom post 9/11, 3 rightful citizens of Malaysia were arrested under the draconian preventive law, ISA yesterday before the very noses of other Malaysians. Raja Petra (been in the limelight and police radar for quite some time), Teresa Kok (Seputeh MP) and Tan Hoon Cheng (very innocent Sin Chew reporter) were whisked away ala Hollywood movie and were brought around the country in their black "fleet" of escorts (why would they need so many officers to arrest just 1 individual at a time).

Raja Petra was deemed to be a threat to national security (ermm.... i think all Opposition members, bloggers and journalists are deemed to the a threat now).

Teresa Kok was arrested for inciting hatred towards Muslims for her protest on the azan issue (looks like the person *hint* *Toyo* who threw the stone managed to hide his hand well enough or he had a "Big Daddy" to hide behind when Justice confronts him...)

Tan Hoon Cheng was arrested for reporting on the Chinese Malaysian = Squatters issue by now unpopular Ahmad Ibrahim. She has since been released this evening. (Better be, coz her arrest doesn't seemed to make sense at all! Being arrested for doing the right thing and for doing her job. Reporting on what she and tons of others heard as well as being arrested to "protect" her from possible assassins). What's the world (the Malaysian world) becoming?

As many Malaysians back home, sitting on their cosy couch are expressing their outrage, anger and disbelief over this incident, many parties and groups were already gathering forces to "invade" Bukit Aman's front gate and other places for a mass vigil as well as Bar Council having an EGM on 20/9/08 to discuss the arrests, I will be sitting here in my aunt's place blogging about what I feel along with other young Malaysians who are and might be doing the same thing right this minute.

I would say, this is a very dumb attempt to thwart or slow the Opposition down.

Plain STUPID.

Who on Earth would arrests clearly (in the eyes of the public) an upholder of justice, a hero or a brave soul speaking the truth and this time now? Surely they would have to fire their war strategists this instance for their plain stupidity and for shooting themselves in the foot.

Creating a mess in an already messed-up political scene was a big no-no. Even someone in primary school would know this.

So instead of wasting my time spitting out expletives (which I don't do) and rage on this, I would like to say only this.

Everybody knows what you (Govt) did last time and now.

No need to hide and justice is chasing up behind you.

You can run but you can't hide.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely and God knows.

So, the choice is yours, people.

The truth is out there.
