Update 2: While najib is in Singapore singing his great song of 1Malaysia, back home, the police continue with their arrest "People First".


Update: A well written piece by Tony Pua, MP for PJ Utara title, Police Should Stop Attending Vigils or you can scroll down to read the piece after the video.

I took a rest for the whole of yesterday evening, feeling that nothing great will happen at least until tomorrow's Perak MB Court appeal judgement. How wrong I was, when I switch on the internet this afternoon more police arrest greeted me. My first thought was that the police must have arrested the criminals that are plaguing the country. But no, arresting people for holding candle vigil.

I must give applause to najib's slogan of "People First, Performance Now" which is truly put into actions and it means najib really walk his talk. As one umno big shot did criticised RPK for not giving credit to the good things that the government had done. Now I must give credit to najib for walking his talk, Arrest "People First" Police "Performance Now".

Well, you want umno najib to walk his talk, now he had walked his talk, do you still want to complain?

Police Should Stop Attending Vigils!

By Tony Pua

The Royal Malaysian Police to stop attending candlelight vigils and focus on fighting rampant crime!

Last night when 11 persons, including DAP Assistant National Publicity Secretary and MP for Serdang, Teo Nie Ching, and state assemblywoman for Teratai, Selangor, Jenice Lee Ying Ha was arrested for holding a candlelight vigil serves only to remind the public how obtuse the Royal Malaysian Police have become.

It was a low-key candlelight vigil mourning the death of democracy in Perak attended by less than 20 party members and supporters on private property below the office of MP for Seputeh, Teresa Kok. And yet in a remarkable show of force, a nearly 100-strong Police team swooped the gathering complete with helicopter support before any speeches were even made!

While we fully appreciate the effort by the Police to grant some of our low profile activities instantaneous nationwide publicity by arresting innocent unarmed and peaceful civilians, we strongly condemn Police intimidation and oppression who acts on behalf of Barisan Nasional to stifle dissent and suppress the truth.

The Royal Malaysian Police should instead focus on its job at hand to fight rampant crime across the country which in the past 3 weeks have reached an incredulous state when victims have included MCA President, Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat and political secretary to the Deputy Prime Minister himself, Syahrin Jamaluddin. The police force has even suffered its greatest ignominy in recent years when the Johor Bahru OCPD, ACP Zainuddin Yaakob was tied up and robbed at knife point in his very own house in Johore Baru.

We deplore the high-handed and completely unnecessary actions of the police in detaining harmless concerned citizens. We call upon the Inspector General of Police, Tan Sri Musa Hassan to apologise to the detainees and all Malaysians for wrongful detention and for acting against the Prime Minister's call for "One Malaysia".

In addition, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak must carry out his promise of "People First, Performance Now" by finally fulfilling Barisan Nasional's promise to set up the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) as proposed by the Royal Police Commission nearly 4 years ago.
