A masked, albeit cowardly, mob in flowing robes and machetes running amok in Ayah Pin's Sky Kingdom commune? So what's next?

Bombings and beheadings?

This incident is somewhat reminiscent of a sinister riot that took place in Kampung Medan during the previous regime, an incident that could have been quelled with ease given that the nations's security apparatus can respond fast to mobs with water cannons laced with chemicals.

Just ask any of the 'mobs' that tried to declare their totally justified view on human rights violations .
