I am fine today.
We witnessed another ISA (Internal Security Act) madness today where a blogger, a politician and a journalist were detained. I was following the news on Malaysiakini until midnight to see who was to be held under ISA next. Fortunately, the detention spree stopped after the politician, Teresa Kok.
A very simple minded person will be able to see something very unreasonable was happening in the arrests.
Let’s forget about the blogger RPK, and just focus on the arrest of journalist and the politician.
Ahmad made utterly racial remark. Journalist Tan reported it faithfully. What was the outcome? The racist who said it was not “ISAed”, but the innocent and faithful journalist :-(
Now, Teresa Kok was said to have questioned the azan’s (Muslim’s prayer) noise. Then former Selangor Menteri Besar, Khir Toyo blew it out of proportion, and of course “unfaithfully”. What was the outcome? The politician who said it (if she really said it) was “ISAed”, but not the “unfaithful reporter”, Khir Toyo :-(
To be continued and see you next post :-)
