Hold an RCI into prison ‘brutalities and abuses’

With reference to the latest reported beating up of M Chandran (The Sun, Feb 13, 2017) at the Jawi Prison rendering him unconscious and warranting admission into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and the The Star Online quoting South Seberang Prai police chief Supt Shafee Abdul Samad as saying he “had fallen in the toilet, injuring his head, while his “missing” toenails were because they were removed in the prison clinic due to a skin disease”.

Najib’s 0.01pct Deepavali goodies budget

Politicians generally thrive on make-believe ‘feel good’ and ‘wayang kulit’ factors as their life support. However the Umno elite and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak appear to be the grandmasters, with the latest being the RM260 million ‘feel good’ Deepavali goodies budget, but which is a mere 0.01 percent of the RM260 billion 2017 National Budget announced last week.

We refer to the Malaysia Nanban headlines today (June 10, 2015) on whether the homes of the Indian poor would be burnt down or torn down! In Segambut Estate it has been widely reported that gangsters were used  to tear down houses even in the wee hours when occupants were still sleeping.
Will Court of Appeal allow my sedition appeal?

Will Court of Appeal allow my sedition appeal?

For merely pointing out the errors and defects of the Malaysian government on the Indian Malaysia poor as per the Sedition Act and as evidenced by the 2,240 pages in seven volumes spanning over 16 years tendered in court, I have been sentenced to an unprecedented two-and-a-half years’ jail. (Lim Guan Eng previously received the highest sentence at one-and-a-half years' jail, and Karpal Singh’s RM4,000.00 was the highest fine.)
My 365th day in Kajang Prison

My 365th day in Kajang Prison

During the course of my sedition trial where the rule of law was not adhered to, I repeatedly took snapshots of the deputy public prosecutor and the judge to show that I am not afraid of the Umno government’s jails. Today, after 365 days, I am being made to suffer over and above the two-and-a-half years jail term for sedition.

Dear Prime Minister

For the third time in the past 11 months, with effect from April 16, 2014, I was punished without even a hearing yet again for ‘Ingkar Perintah’ (failing to follow Wardens Orders). I was jailed in the ‘dark room’-designed punishment cell for 16 days in blatant contravention of Regulations 119 and read together with Section 121 of the Prisons Act 1995 which in effect allows for only one day of separation.
