'Twenty-eight days! And all you could come up with is this? The punishment already meted out exceeds the offence.'
PSM 6 to be charged tomorrow in Butterworth
Vijay47: One would have thought that after the PSM 6 fiasco that made Malaysia the laughing stock of the world, the police would be hiding their heads in shame in some hole somewhere. Yet here we have them continuing their ‘Keystone Cops' capers.
If we had been confused as to why the PSM6 were detained in the first place, I am equally confused why they were released. What did they do in the Emergency Ordinance camp that made them no longer a threat?
I just cannot help thinking that the police are deliberately shooting themselves in the foot.
Galpasqueen: They were in detention when Bersih 2.0 was going on. When they were arrested, they were not even wearing Bersih T-shirts. They were not even handing out Bersih-related flyers.
With all these in mind, the police wants to charge them over their involvement with the July 9 rally. Does it make sense to any of you? Or maybe I missed something.
Mirror On The Wall: Twenty-eight days! And all you could come up with is this? The punishment already meted out exceeds the offence.
Pants On Fire: If no charges were made, the government must apologise. So this is a face-saving measure by the government which claims to practise rule of law. Charging them will only bring in more votes for the opposition. Well done, AG!
Kee Thuan Chye: Don't waste public funds charging these six people who have done nothing wrong, at least in the court of the public.
Charging them will make the BN regime lose more credibility. Better to do the gracious and right thing - apologise to them instead. Perhaps that's what will be done in court? Dream on!
ForTruth&Justice: Malaysian style of justice: Lock people up, conjure up evidence and then charge people. No truth, no justice = no rule of law = rule by tyranny.
Kgen: So police continue their "detain first, think of a charge later". Let's see what ridiculous charges they come up with now.
Anwar sees no threat to post as Opposition Leader
SusahKes: Another wayang show from the Umno production house. So what if Ku Li joins Pakatan Rakyat? You mean to say, the destiny of this nation is dependent on him joining Pakatan?
If Bersih 2.0 showed us anything, it is that something even more powerful than Pakatan has risen in this country; call it the 3rd Force, or whatever, the rakyat have shown on July 9, that politicians - be it from Umno-BN or Pakatan - have better start getting used to the fact that Putrajaya rule is no longer their birthright.
You can do all your maneuvering within the political circles; but if you do not deliver the people's aspirations, then you are rojak-ed .
So whether Ku Li starts Amanah, or whether Umno gets rid of Najib, or whether Pakatan gets a new head - know this; we - the rakyat - hold the cards.
Anonymous_4031: Everything has a season; and everything has a reason. Any fool can say anything and there will be other fools who will follow suit and claim that the first fool's statement is correct.
Now is the season for fools. And note that any fool can be a leader provided he is not a foolish leader.
Malaysia needs a wise leader. Malaysia needs a pragmatic leader. Malaysia needs a just leader. Malaysia needs a caring leader. Malaysia needs a fair leader. Malaysia needs a sincere leader. Malaysia needs a principled leader. Malaysia needs a visionary leader.
Is Ku Li one? Is Anwar one? Is Hadi one? is Karpal Singh one? Is Lim Kit Siang one? Is Zaid Ibrahim one? Is Khairy one? Is Najib one? Is Muhyiddin one? Is Hishamuddin one? Is Nik Aziz one? Is Raja Petra Kamarudidn one?
This is not a season for fools This is a season for sound, cool-headed, honest judgement. We need an Obama, a Thatcher, a Gandhi.
Sarbaini's death 'accidental', says pathologist
Simon Lee 3ed5: What doctors, lawyers, judges, are we producing under the Umno regime? How on earth could anyone just declare this death was ‘accidental' and left unchallenged?
This is horrifying. Even my maid could come up with a more intelligent verdict. Please don't think the rakyat is stupid when such a verdict was clearly designed to defend the indefensible.
Swipenter: Any normal person cannot accidentally fall from a window or walk right through a window or mistake a window for a door. So far we have one ‘suicide' and one 'accidental death' when dealing with MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) officers.
However, the common denominator in both deaths is falling from a window of a MACC office.
Lim Chong Leong: It looks like a borrowed script from a previous story. Not homicide, not suicide.
Accidental death? What? Like he was just hanging out on a five-inch ledge outside a three-storey building when he slipped?
No sign of homicide does not mean that it was not homicide. It just means you have not looked hard enough or it was covered up, like erasing the tape in the CC video camera.
Joker: If a person investigated by MACC for taking bribes actually confesses, would MACC let him go back to his house where he can move freely and speak to everyone?
Would this guilty person then take a motorbike back to MACC to change his statement and after amending his statement, felt so terribly guilty for lying that he then decides to jump off from a pantry window, which is accessible only after a difficult climb?
RPK gave a different version. He said Sarbaini was tricked into giving a false confession after being put through a long and tedious interrogation. After he went home he thought about it and decided what he 'confessed' was wrong.
So he decided to change it the next day. When he returned, he was threatened and refused permission to change his statement.
He was scolded and ridiculed and forced to stand precariously at the window where he ultimately slipped and fell to his death. Which scenario sounds more plausible? I tend to not believe the MACC version.
