He also said that Altantuya was never involved in any arms deal as was mentioned by various quarters for the reason of her killing.

The former Najib aide said that the arms deal took place in 2002, and he met Altantuya two years after that.

He added that he could do nothing about the public perception on the matter, urging everyone to stop linking Najib and Rosmah to the murder.

Abdul Razak also said that Najib would make a good prime minister.

This is a joke, right? No? Yea right!

Did we expect him to come out and call for a press conference and shout to the world ”Yes. Najib is involved in the Altantuya murder!” “Najib and Rosmah are buddy buddy with Altantuya!” No! So why need to speak out for Najib and Rosmah? Why this PR work?

One point though. How did he know that the Deputy Prime Minister is not involved in the Altantuya murder case? I find this statement strange.  How can someone who had just been acquitted from the murder case, claimed that Najib was not involved in it? What gives him the right to ask everyone to stop linking Najib and Rosmah to the murder? Does he know something that we don’t?  Or else how can he speak out for them that they are innocent. If someone was accused to have robbed a bank and I said “No, he was not involved.” Does it mean that my word can stand assure that he did not rob the bank? How did I know he didn’t?

I just can’t resist but to borrow this classic logo created by Los Angeles artist Lorraine Schneider at the height of the Vietnam war, and adapt it to the Anti-ISA campaign. War is not healthy for children and other living things, so is ISA! We want an end to ISA!

When Wee Meng Chee, aka Namewee, did a rap on Negaraku, he was investigated under the Sedition Act. Now the case is refered to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for review and see what action should be taken (here).Even the cabinet rejected an apology from the rapper, citing that they were not in the position to forgive him and that “the law would have to take its course”.“The offence was not against the Prime Minister or ministers concerned but against the nation,” said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz.

“To not prosecute him is not ‘on’ at all because he has committed an offence against the nation and no one, not the Cabinet or political parties, are in the position to forgive him,” he said.

Wee could be charged under the Sedition Act because he had insulted the symbol of the nation, he said (here)

Now when the the police moved in on participants at a candlelight vigil at Petaling Jaya while they were singing the national anthem, the Negaraku - what do you call that? Did the police show any respect for the national anthem? Can’t they just wait until the participants finished singing the national anthem as a respect for our nation before they moved in and asked  then to disperse?

This is a grave offence on the part of the police. They are the ones who should have more respect than others for the symbol of our nation. Yet they just moved in and disrupted the citizen of Malaysia from singing our national anthem. Is this forgivable? Will the police be investigated under the Sedition act? We sure like to hear from Nazri and Syed Hamid Albar. No double-standard please!

Err! By the way, despite video evidence, Selangor police chief Khalid Abu Bakar has denied that the police moved in on participants at a candlelight vigil last night while they were singing the national anthem. Even with evidence, and mind you not just one video but several, he can still denied it! Where is the integrity and honor of the police force? Shame! Shame! And more Shame!

Watch this video and tell me who is lying? The police or the participants?

I’m sure we are all very happy and encouraged now that RPK is freed! But do we stop here. No, heaven forbids! We are to continue to call on the government to release every ISA detainees and give them a fair trial and abolish the ISA. We are not done yet!

THE ISA IS STILL A HEINOUS WEAPON USED BY THE GOVERNMENT!
WE WILL CONTINUE AND SPREAD IT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT, OR A NEW GOVERNMENT
ABOLISH THE ISA.

WE WANT CHANGE.
THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT CHANGE
SHOULD GET OUT OF THE WAY
OF THOSE
WHO WANT CHANGE.

 Raja Petra said: “Not many people have challenged the act (ISA) so much and I did not have much high hopes (of being released).

“This application allowed under Section 8 is a special prize. I am tired.”

“This showed ISA cannot be used. I hope this is not a political decision. I don’t want to be the prime minister. I want Anwar to be the PM,” he said.

“We have to fight all-out and get the ISA abolished,” he told reporters.

God heard the prayers of the righteous. The truth shall always previal! You can’t work in the dark, God will expose it in the light.

Now that RPK is free, let’s continue to keep the candles burning and expect the release of the Hindraf Five and all ISA detainess. And most of all. the Abolishment of ISA!

Now we like to hear what the Home Minister got to say. He goes beyond his power. I wonder is it possible to sue the Home Minister for making an illegal detention?

Syed Ahmad Helmy said there was no relevance for the minister to issue the order against Raja Petra on the basis of mala fide.“Following this, the court finds there is a procedural non-compliance as stated under Section 8(1) of the ISA based on the minister’s affidavit.

“Hence the court finds the minister had acted ultra vires (beyond his powers) in issuing the detention order under the ISA section. For example, the minister cannot issue an order if a person has in bad faith decided to colour his hair red.

“Following this, the court is allowing the plaintiff’s application and order for his release,” the judge said.

Raja Petra’s lawyer Malik had said during submissions earlier that the court has jurisdiction to scrutinise the detention order, to determine if it was made in bad faith.

“This is not a situation like Jemaah Islamiyah or communists. This is just a man whom the government thinks can bring it down to its knees,” the counsel had argued.

We sure don’t need this VISA! It’s illegal! Against human rights!

Will this ever happened in Malaysia? Nah!

Peter Ooi: Is it for real that a black man has been elected as the president of the USA? Unbelievable but it is true!

It can only be true for a nation which would settle for nothing but the best.

Yes, Obama is the best even though he is black. And the Americans have chosen the best regardless of colour.

It is this attribute that makes the US the greatest nation on earth. It through their exploitation of all available brains and talents of all races that has propelled them to be the first in all fields whether it is the race to the moon or winning the most number of Nobel prizes.

How I wish such a policy is practised at home. And how I dream that our government can exploit the brains and talents of every race so that we could be among the best in the world.

The biggest dream is for Malaysians to emulate the Americans in electing a prime minister regardless of race but I think I am dreaming too much.

Even appointing a non-Malay to a small position to head PKNS had seen so much protest.

But I would still dream on, though a distant one!

Sang Kancil: Change is the essence if life. To refuse change is to refuse to live. This is a fundamental principle that the Americans have understood well.

A community which was regarded as slaves have rose up to lead the most powerful nation in this world. A fantastic transformation!

My dear brother Obama, you have made all the blacks and also me proud. But one point is still bothering me - will the same transformation happen in Malaysia?

Very unlikely. Appointing a Chinese or an Indian to an acting GM’s post in PKNS is already creating chaos, what more an Indian PM for Malaysia. It is really next to impossible.

Abdullah Badawi: On the historic victory obtained by Barack Obama as the new American president today, Abdullah said that the reality of leaders being chosen regardless of race can happen anywhere.

“What happened in America today was not decided by Washington or any one group but by the American people themselves through the democratic process and elections that have existed for so long in America,” he said

Yea sure. Just walk the talk and stop the gibberish talk. So let us the Malaysian people decide who should be the Prime Minister, instead of passing on the baton!
