It seems that the show is starting…
RPK has just been arrested under the Internal Security Act, today. He obviously knew that it was coming and he has been well prepared for it. Whether or not it was right to detain him under the ISA is another question altogether. Some will think that the government has abused it’s powers while others may think that it was justified. We can argue about this till the cows come home and it won’t change a thing. Personally, I am not really sorry for him as he is well aware of the consequences of his action.
The person that I’m feeling sorry for is the reporter from SinChew who reported on the idiotic remarks made by one specific UMNO politician from Penang. All that Tan Hoon Cheng did was to do her job, which is to report incidents as they happened. Nobody has come out to deny the reports. In fact, the person who uttered the remarks has since admitted to doing what was reported.
So, it is really funny when the person who uttered the racist remarks, is still free while the reporter who merely reported the issue, is now under indefinite detention in Kamunting. I think that the government is doing her a big favour. Her future is now secured.
Since she is from Penang, all she would need to do is to run under a DAP ticket for either a state seat or a parliamentary seat. ISA detainees are not criminals and have the right to run for office. Then, even if she is still languishing away in Kamunting, she will need to be paid a salary as a politician. If she stays long enough in ISA and wins for two terms, she will then qualify for a full government pension.
And the latest news is that Teresa Kok, the MP who won with the largest majority in parliament of 36,600 is now under ISA detention as well. I cannot possibly imagine how much her majority is going to be in the next general election. They should have a new category in the Malaysian Guiness Book of Records for her. I think that her majority in the next GE is going to be enough to form a small town by itself, probably in the 50,000 range.
This is a live action comedy in the making. I should go get some pop corn and sit and watch.
Sybreon Ones Nought 
At least you have front row seats to watch the drama. I can only view from afar through the alternative media. =P
Haha she reports the person who made the remark, yet the person goes free and she got detained. Isn’t that familiar with our government? Some ppl work so hard to save for their kids’ education, get less discounts when buying houses, less privileges etc, yet, those who don’t save, spend all the salary they receive, have their kids sponsored. Like you said, life is unfair? What can we do?
