Why I am feeling black?

BN, Congratulation to you ! You have shown to the world how to grab power at all cost. Yes that is to drag away a speaker of the state assembly. You win but for how long?

You use all the might of the government machinery to bully people into submissive. But you fail to understand that ultimately it's legitimacy that is matter most.

Was it worth it? Screamed The Malaysian Insider. For you maybe yes, because you only see POWER and TITLES and all the rewards you could possibly attain after having the power. But your "victory" or "worth" come at a price. You will be remembered forever as the robber, power robber.

For me, YAB Nizar will still be the legitimate Menteri Besar and YB Sivakumar will still be the legitimate Speaker of the State Assembly and Pakatan Government will still be the legitimate Perak Government until the next election. Hidup Rakyat Perak, Hidup Ketuanan Rakyat.

Wong Chin Huat Arrested Under Sedition Act!

I have just read that a social activist has been arrested under Sedition Act. This is certainly not good for Najib's 1Malaysia. I think silencing people with draconian laws like Sedition Act would not make the issue go away. For God's sake, engage people, debate them, have more open discussions. Why is the government so scare? If you have nothing to hide, why worry? Why?

Poll reform group Bersih spokesperson Wong Chin Huat has been arrested under the Sedition Act tonight by a team of police officers at his home in Taman Sri Sentosa in Kuala Lumpur.

According to his lawyer Edmund Bon, the activist was arrested at 8pm after a police report was lodged today. He said he received a call from Wong (left). "I tried negotiating with the police officer (on the phone) but they won't listen to me."They didn't want to tell under what section of the Sedition Act (that the arrest was made) and who the complainant is."Bon has since unable to contact Wong. It is learnt that Wong has been brought to Commercial Crimes Department headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.It is believed that he is being investigated under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act.If found guilty, Wong could face a jail term of up to three years.

It is not clear whether Wong's arrest is linked to a press conference he called earlier today.At the press conference, Wong (photo) had urged the public to wear black on May 7, to protest the Perak state government takeover by Barisan Nasional which has been seen as undemocratic and unconstitutional.Wong issued a statement on behalf of Bersih, saying that the protest was aimed at newly-minted Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, who is widely credited as the mastermind behind the February power grab.

The Bersih’s campaign slogan "1BlackMalaysia: Democracy first, elections now", is a play on Najib’s "1Malaysia: People first, performance now" tagline.May 7 is also the date where BN Menteri Besar Zambry Abdul Kadir is convening the Perak state legislative assembly to oust speaker V Sivakumar and pass motions to legitimise his government.Police have urged both sides to avoid confrontation on that day.'Paint every town, village black'In his statement today, Wong said that the 1BlackMalaysia campaign is a peaceful, yet powerful message of "civil disobedience"."We want to let them know that people are the politicians’ bosses and no politician can disregard public opinion and escape punishment in the next general election," he said.

He urged the public to “paint every state, territory, town and village black” with clothes, headbands, hats, turbans, veils, armbands, ribbons and stickers. "Let us be united in one black colour and let’s show the world that the 1Malaysia under Najib is 1BlackMalaysia living in darkness," he said.Bersih is a coalition of opposition parties and NGOs who have been pressuring the authorities to improve election laws and administration.
