I think it can’t get anymore clearer than this. Everywhere else, its the protesters who are bashed up, arrested, chased after and shot with tear gas\/water cannon. I thought the same rule applies for all. But we have seen that people like Khairy get special treatment.<\/p>\n
Today, the police asked the forum to end early instead of getting rid of the protestors. Now, I’m not telling the police to treat the protesters like how they treated the HINDRAF rally attendees. Let people protest, but in an orderly manner. If anyone turns phyiscal, arrest them. But it is very embarassing to read that police asked the forum to end early! Worse still, only yesterday<\/a> this guys made a joke that they will “not hesitate to take action if anyone gathered at or near the Bar Council because of its forum on conversion to Islam”.<\/p>\n Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman said police would be on full alert and advised people not to hold gatherings there. He said this was meant for those who were against the forum and those who supported it. But look what happened today. These people can afford to put bored-looking policemen to relax at roadblocks but can’t control a measly crowd of 300.<\/p>\n Both Malaysiakini<\/a> and Star<\/a> have the story.<\/p>\n Among the 300 protestors are members of Muslim welfare organsation Perkida and Islamic party PAS, who shouted, \u201cHancur Bar Council\u201d (Crush Bar Council), \u201cHidup Islam\u201d (Long Live Islam) and \u201cBatal forum\u201d (Cancel the forum). They carried placards saying \u201cJangan cabar Islam\u201d (Don\u2019t challenge Islam) and \u201cBar Council, Don\u2019t play with fire\u201d.<\/p>\n Among the protest leaders seen in the crowd are PAS Youth chief Salahuddin Ayub. The protesters, many of whom came just before the forum began, later decided to sit down in front of the Bar Council building and vowed that they would not budge until the event had been cancelled. Some threatened to storm the building to physically stop the forum.<\/p>\n Due to the advice from police, the program ended at 10am, about one hour after it started.<\/p>\n A leader of the protesters – PKR Kulim-Bandar Baharu parliamentarian Zulkifli Noordin – declared the abrupt end of the forum as a victory Most embarassing is PKR and PAS are in it. What is DAP’s stand on this? And do you realise that MIC, MCA, Gerakan and PPP cowards don’t even dare to open their mouths. COWARDS. COWARDS. COWARDS. Definition for political parties in Malaysia. All these people know that they can’t say a thing or they will be roasted. They will come up with the usual “we will talk about this in our own way” crap. But 51 years also no solution, what more can you talk about? You can’t be that stupid or have low IQ, can you? There’s no political will to solve this inter-religious contentions. That’s the problem.<\/p>\n Now imagine if we, the makkal, protest against the criminal, seditious teacher in Teluk Panglima Garang. You think the police will be so kind? They’ll chase the people away, not close down the school. I dread to think of the day when church sermons or temple prayers are asked to be stopped because some people protest at the noise, smell, or traffic jam.<\/p>\n No wonder more and more Malaysians are considering migrating. Recently two of my friends expressed their intentions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I think it can’t get anymore clearer than this.

\nfor them. By 10.40am, most of the protesters have dispersed.<\/p>\n
