The country is in turmoil, indiscriminate use of the ISA by umno to stay in power and here we have the MCA trying to regain their reputation..
Online news media Malaysiakini reported:
Azan controversy: MCA demands apology from Kit Siang
The DAP politician had claimed that an 'operative' from MCA had lodged a police report against Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, leading to her detention under the security law.
DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang has been urged to apologise for making a 'false allegation' against MCA over Seputeh MP Teresa Kok’s detention under the Internal Security Act (ISA).
Does MCA not know that their reputation had already gone down the drain after the March 08 tsunami? Why create a huge cry over a small statement by Lim Kit Siang, which you claim is tarnishing MCA reputation. Trying to regain some sympathy votes for the 13th GE or a few seconds of fame through umno control TV stations highlighting your claim?
Let me tell you, there are a lot of things that you can do rather then follow the utusan trying to make a mountain of a mole hill regarding Teresa comment about the prison food.
There is no more reputation for MCA if MCA continue to kow tow to umno. I, as a Chinese Malaysian do not beg for anything but stand on my own two feet for justice and equality.
MCA can only get back its reputation if it got the guts to do the following:
Stand firm and stand united with all parties and NGOs who are oppose to the ISA and tell umno direct in the face to repeal this ISA Act immediately and release all detainees.
Pull out of barisan national and be an independent party if you find Pakatan Rakyat to hard to swallow.
One last note:
MCA had totally failed the Malaysian Chinese which MCA claimed to represent all this while.

PM Must Be Investigated For This Statement -Malaysiakini
Malaysiakini Headlines
I stopped PM from ordering Yong's arrest
Former Sapp deputy president Raymond Tan claims that he had intervened in June to deter an anti-graft investigation against party president Yong Teck Lee. More details at Malaysiakini.
If what is reported above is true, then something is very wrong with our legal system. There are many implications to it and I suggest that some legal expert from the bar council start investigating the PM and Raymond Tan for obstructing justice.
Has Yong Teck Lee committed any crime? If he had, then the police must take action and if Raymond Tan knew about any offence committed by Yong, he should assist the police investigation. Instead he stopped the PM from ordering Yong's arrest and by Raymond statement the PM did take his advise.
The next question, has the PM the power to over rule any police action by taking order from someone, whether to arrest or not to arrest anyone person? If he does, then my perception is that the PM order the police to arrest the journalist Tan Hoon Cheng and not the Ahmad who by law had committed a serious offence, Raja Petra and MP Teresa Kok by obeying the instructions given by someone of status just like Raymond Tan case with Yong Teck Lee.
The statement by Raymond Tan that he "stopped PM from ordering Yong's arrest" prove all along that justice is not carried out according to the law of this country but to the command of UMNO leaders.
Can the PM be charged for obstructing justice? Will the bar council take a serious view and action into this kind of behavior and not just passing resolutions after resolutions but no actions.

Penang DAP Abolish The ISA Ceramah
Before I write on the Anti ISA ceramah, lets read some of the recent remarks by some arrogant morons of this country.
PEKAN, Sept 19 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak hopes that the release of Seputeh member of parliament Teresa Kok from the Internal Security Act (ISA) Friday will help subdue the furore over detentions under the Act.
The deputy prime minister said he welcomed Kok's release if the police felt that it was the appropriate thing to do.
What does this moron think when he make this remark? Does he mean that if we did not make any furore then Teresa will not be released even though she has not committed any crime that warrants the ISA arrest? What about the others detainees, there are as much furore about their ISA detention, why are they not released?
Malaysiakini - Utusan dares Kok to take lie detector test. At a packed press conference, the Malay daily reporter asks if the Seputeh MP would take the test to prove her innocence. Read full story at Malaysiakini here.
Can these people never able to just admit that they are wrong and say sorry? What are they trying to pull, a bullock cart trying to pull the cows?
I am just afraid that this country is moving on the reverse gear and these morons are thinking that they are moving in the space age.
Penang DAP Anti ISA Ceremah
Seeing the crowd at this ceramah can show Najib that the people are still furious with the ISA act. The usual crowd for previous such ceramah or forum will not receive more then 2 or 3 hundred people, but tonight Anti ISA ceramah attracted over 1,500 people.
The people are well aware that the ISA does not belong to the 21st century anymore and moreover they are not used as intended but to strike fear among the rakyat and against any opposition to the ruling government.
There are over 10 speakers who spoke in this Anti ISA ceramah. PKR send two speakers and one of them is the MP for Balik Pulau Yusmadi Yusoff. PAS send a convoy of supporters with their Parit Buntar MP, Dr. Mujahid Yusof Rawa as their speakers.
DAP have, Jeff Ooi, Chow Koon Yeow, Chong Eng, Liew Chin Tong, DAP vice president, Penang CM #2 and Penang Chief Minister.
The speaker I had admired and think is the best for the night is Dr.Mujahid Yusof of PAS. He speak base on a true Malaysian platform and not on race or religion. He was very supportive for any causes concerning Malaysian, irrespective of their race or religion. I first met him at the Penang Police HQ on the night when journalist Tan Hoon Cheng was arrested under the ISA. He was there to lend his support as well as on behalf of PAS.
Every speakers explain the reasons why the ISA has to be repealed and how it is being misused by UMNO/BN for their political enhancement. All were calling for the immediate release of Raja Petra, the Hindraf 5 and more than 60 others still in Kamunting.
Teresa Kok gave a short message recorded in KL and brought back by Liew Chin Tong. Overall it is a very inspiring ceramah that let the public knows the existing of the draconian ISA and how it is being manipulated and used by UMNO/BN for their own survival.
The last speaker is Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng. He started off by condemning the wrongful use of the ISA arrest against Teresa Kok, journalist Tan Hoon Cheng and Raja Petra. He blasted UMNO/BN that they used the ISA because that they are weak now and fear of losing power. He stressed that the reasons given by the home minister for the arrest are ridiculous and make the laughing stock in the eyes of the world. He take the opportunity to speak about the development for Penang and will make Penang a well development state and set the best example in governing for the whole country. Penang will be the first state in the country to provide free wi-fi internet service within two years.
Two quotes for the night:
"There is only one race and that is the Human Race"
"Abolished the ISA, Abolished UMNO/BN"
Before I end I would like to mention that there are still 65 people held under this draconian ISA. You can see the list of ISA detainees here.
Nobody deserves detention without trial. If you want to support the repeal of the ISA please sign the Petition.

Freed MP To Sue Government For 'Unlawful Detention'
Freed MP To Sue Government For 'Unlawful Detention' - Malaysiakini
Parliamentarian Teresa Kok, who was released today after being held for seven days under the Internal Security Act, will sue the government for her ‘unlawful arrest and detention’, reports Malaysiakini.
PRESS Statement by YB Teresa Kok, Member of Parliament for Seputeh, Senior Exco for Selangor State Government and ADUN for Kinrara on Sept 19, 2008 at Petaling Jaya.
My ISA detention is without any legal or moral basis. It is a clear abuse of detention without trial
I have been released after being detained in solitary confinement in a 6ft by 8ft holding cell for seven days under the Internal Security Act. I was informed by the police that they detained me under Section 73(1) of Internal Security Act 1960, which means I have incited racial and religious tension and conflict.
After being detained for seven days under the guise of so-called investigations, the police failed to produce any evidence or proof of me being involved in the activities of causing racial and religious tension. They were only able to ask me few questions based entirely on the false and malicious article written by Zaini Hassan under the topic "Azan, jawi, JAIS, Uitm dan ba-alif-ba-ya" that was published in Utusan Malaysia on Sept 10, 2008.
The three main questions that the investigation officers asked me were:
i) whether I have mobilised a group of residents at Bandar Kinrara to present a petition to oppose to the azan at the Bandar Kinrara mosque;
ii) whether I have made a statement that 30% of the Selangor Islamic Department (JAIS) allocation is to be given to other non-Islam religious bodies; and
iii) whether I have opposed to the Jawi wording road signages in Kuala Lumpur.
I denied the first two accusations as I did not do any such things as accused. I also told them that the issue of opposing Jawi road signages in Kuala Lumpur was done in January/February 2008 at the request and following the pressure of resident associations. The resident associations, particularly in Taman Seputeh, were most unhappy because many of the road signages were changed arbitrarily by DBKL a few months before and changed again soon after this time with Jawi wordings. They were strongly opposed to this kind of wastage of public funds by DBKL.
I was quite surprised that there were no other questions posed to me besides these few main questions.
The Internal Security Act is meant to detain people who threaten national security. The three issues stated above have nothing to do with national security. If the police wanted to carry out investigations on me, they can always ask me to give statements in any police station and there was absolutely no need to detain me under the ISA for seven days. This is a phenomenal abuse of the power of police under the ISA.
Besides, it is nonsensical for the police to detain me under the ISA merely based on the unsubstantiated article written by an irresponsible columnist in Utusan Malaysia? How can they regard that article as the gospel truth without investigating the writer in the first place? How can Utusan Malaysia publish it without verifying the facts?
I wish to ask the police whether they have called Zaini Hassan and Utusan Malaysia's editors for questioning before and after my detention.
I know that the imam of Bandar Kinrara mosque has publicly denied that I got involved in the Puchong residents petition against the azan of his mosque on Sept 13. I am also quite surprised to read in the New Straits Times dated Sept 19 that the official of the Bandar Kinrara mosque was called by the Dang Wangi police for statement recording only yesterday afternoon. Why did the police do it so late, one week after I was arrested? Why didn't they check their facts first before they arrested me and put me behind bars?
I have been made scapegoat in the internal squabbles of Umno
I see my detention as a ploy by Umno to try to cover up the embarrassment and the outrage of the racist statements made by Ahmad Ismail in Penang. I wonder why did they choose an innocent person like me as I have never made any racist statements or racist speeches in the past?
I lodged a police report on Sept 17 against Utusan Malaysia, Zaini Hassan and Dr Khir Toyo for criminal defamation. I would therefore urge the police to investigate Utusan Malaysia's editors, those racist bloggers and Dr Khir Toyo under the Penal Code.
As I have mentioned in my previous lawyer's visit, I will sue Utusan Malaysia, Zaini Hassan and Dr Khir Toyo. I have also instructed my lawyers to sue the Malaysian government for my unlawful arrest and detention.
Raja Petra should be released
As I am free from ISA detention today, I also call for the release of Raja Petra, the Hindraf Five and all other 60 over detainees under the draconian ISA.
I would also like to thank all politicians in the ruling parties as well as in the Pakatan Rakyat, NGOs, churches and all social organisations who have campaigned and prayed for my release.
