Sedition Act should be renamed Bullying Act
YOURSAY ‘They will charge or bully you into submission using the Act...'
Police won't drop probe against Father Lawrence
Anonymous_3fe4: Inspector-general of police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar said it is “quite common” for investigation papers to be returned after being submitted for the first time to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, with instructions to conduct more investigations. What is the connotation?
JBond : The investigation papers were probably returned because the PDRM (Royal Malaysian Police) did not fabricate enough to nail Father Lawrence Andrew, so they need more lies to make up a watertight case. So that's why it's "normal". We understand, Khalid.
Onyourtoes: The police are trying to pin something on the father when there is nothing. They are trying to appease right-wing extremists, when they have nothing.
1Melayu: Umno just wants to make an example of father Lawrence Andrew. The police force is Umno's and it will do what Umno wants.
Fair&Just: They are using the Sedition Act again. Can we call this the 'Bullying' Act?
It seems like if there is anything they don't like of what you have said, done or has attempted to do, they will charge or ‘bully’ you into submission under the Act whether there is any evidence or not.
Wira: I consider it seditious to spread lies and make a public promise of no toll increases before GE13 only to dishonour it later. Why not charge that rascal?
Nonbeliever: Fight against corruption. This is the duty of all, believers and non-believers alike. What good is it to have a religion but you are evil and corrupt? If you are kind with your words, thoughts and deeds; religion is unnecessary.
Hplooi: And in the meantime, the real issue of the nation's economy (and its mismanagement) is now forgotten. And anyone supporting future protests against price hikes will be immediately branded anti-Islam.
Not Convinced: Mr IGP, has the investigation paper on Perak mufti Harussani Zakaria completed yet? Or it is going to be classified as ‘NFA’ (no further action)?
NUCC not Islamic enough, Isma tells Najib
Unafraid: The National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) is a unity council. Why should it comprise mainly of radical Muslims? The term ‘Islamic’ should not even be applied to the council because the purpose is for unity, not for religion.
Why should everything in this nation be dominated by the issue of by whether it is Islamic enough or not? The purpose of the formation of the NUCC is to forge unity among the various races and religions, and not to enhance Islam.
YF: Is Isma's president Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman himself Islamic? Firstly is he an ulama or ustaz? No. Next, has he ever questioned all the injustices that Umno is doing that is not Islamic? No. So now he dares others to be Islamic when he is not?
There are too many munafiks among the Muslims in Umno and they really do not deserve the coverage when one never walks the talk. Munafiks never do.
Myop101: Isma, if a national unity council consists only of representatives of one segment of society, then you don't even need to form it.
Supercession: Does Isma consider Umno 100 percent Islamic?
Chks : When I look at the list of NUCC members, they are all well-respected people, not only in Malaysia, but throughout the world. It is you, Abdullah Zaik, who has something not right in your brain.
Kawak: Firstly, Isma is a mosquito NGO that Malaysiakini has made a major force by getting every one of their half-past-six comments into the news.
Secondly, Isma has a phobia about non-Muslims and they sound so insecure in their own faith.
MockingYou: If Isma is so hard up to talk about what is Islamic, then they should support DAP's Anthony Loke's call for segregating sin taxes. What say you, Isma?
Wira: Perkasa are racists. Isma are religious bigots. Pekida are gangsters. All of them are creations of Umno to keep the corrupt in power. They are all copycats of the Nazis in Germany, and are all contradicting the purity of their supposed beliefs.
Angry_Voter: This is the art of deception. The Allah issue is just another card Umno plays knowing full well how those with the "di bawah tempurung" mentality would respond.
The sad thing is the supposedly more educated politicians from the opposition are also dancing to the tune.
I am so tired of reading about this non-issue every day. Meanwhile, the real issue of putting meals on the table for the family remains. Is there any future for us rakyat in this about-to-go bankrupt country?
