Fri, 30/05/2008 - 16:47 — admin POLICE BAIL DELIBERATELY EXTENDED TILL THE 10th of JUNE

5 of us turned up at the Tanjong Tokong police station this afternoon to only be told that our remand has been extended till the 10th of June 08. Among those present was my self, Mr. Ong, Mr. Vimal, Ms. Lau Shu Shi, Mr Supramaniam and members of the press. It is very disappointing to hear of our remand. It shows how slow the police are in conducting their investigation. How much time more do they need to investigate 7 innocent activist which upholded their constitutional rights by protesting peacefully against the ISA and was later abused by the police. Are they delaying their investigation in order to scare us and slow down our upcoming protest so that we would divert our attention to our own case rather than the ISA. Till today we have not receive any apology from the Home Minister as called by the Penang State government to do so as it was a miss use of power by the Malaysian Police.

Protest in Gurney on ISA

I called upon the Malaysian Police to wrap up their investigation as fast as possible and drop all the charges that they have brought against us. Stop wasting our time, and start to work on many other important issues which effect the Public. Example, the robbery which took place in Komtar a few days ago. Komtar is located only 5min away from both the District Police HQ and State Police HQ. What a shame it is to the Police force for such incidents to happen. Don`t we have any safe place in Penang Anymore ?... and yet they can waste their time disturbing and arresting peaceful protesters as if there is no other cases for them to deal with.

Arrest of 7 is unlawfull
The arrest of the 7 is a challenge to Malaysians and the constitutional law. Can the the Police Act over write the Constitutional Law? Does the Federal Government respects the constitutional law and the rights of it`s Rakyat? If no, than the Federal Government and the Police must be brought to trial for violating the Federal constitutional law and sentenced to jail. The Rakyat is being misleaded by the continuous arrest of many many protesters during their peaceful gatherings. This Violation needs to be put to an end. How much longer does Malaysians need to suffer for standing up and voicing their views. The rakyat`s money is being wasted by the police on the operational cost to disperse the rallies by usage of the tear gas, petrol, chemical water, documents, and video shooting. The police needs to learn from the well develop countries and protect the rights of the citizen and not be a tool of any political party.

NO ISA

It is clear that the people are unhappy with the Internal Security Act. So just abolish it and listen to the cries of the people or be prepared to face many many more peaceful protest by the public. We can`t just sit down and see our brothers suffer in the Kamunting detention center. The detainees are being abused politically, and we would not shut up! Release all the ISA detainees immediately and close down the Kamunting detention camp which symbolize injustice and evilness in Malaysia.
