I notice that reports posted on your site alluded to the gathering on April 14 at the Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) as support for the opposition parties.

I think that could be misleading because a lot of the support groups which either monitored the safety or handed in the memorandum on the Internal Security Act (ISA) and other repressive laws were also there for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and civil society spaces.

Some NGOs prefer to remain autonomous of political parties and groups supporting political parties.

On a another note, I took the LRT to town that day. On the way back, one of the Putra operated feeder buses was idle and had its doors open with the engine and air-condition running.

An elderly man got into the bus to wait out the afternoon heat.

An official (not the bus driver) came to the man and told him to get down from the bus as it was " rosak " (not working). If it was rosak , then why was its engine running?

The officer obviously had no qualms about lying and more importantly I thought he disrespected the commuter by throwing out that lie! The bus took off about five minutes later.

Lies and lies everywhere. Truth becomes fiction. I suppose that is a reflection of the times we are in.
