For the government to behave like a warlord, it has lost all the trust and support of most rational people in this country. I hope there are still some right thinking people left in the present government to stop this madness and restore some sense of righteousness.
What has Teresa Kok done that warranted her arrest under ISA?
It is weird that 3 trueful Malaysians of high integrity had been detained while the devils are let loose on the streets stirring up racial and religious issues to destabilise our country.
But then,maybe,that is exactly what the present government wants,as civil unrest could be used to shield them against political bankruptcy.
Looks like you could the next victim.
You may want to consider joining the “Please ISA Me” wave (psygame playing lah) so that they will think twice before handcuffing you.

Kena tahan mesti ada sebab. Takkan nak tahan saja2. Mesti jenis mulut tak cover ke apa ke ni. Macam RPK tu. Cakap jenis boleh mendatangkan kekecohan. Kalau dibiar lama2 boleh jadi hancur negara. Nak bercakap memang bebas, tapi bebas pun kena bertanggungjawab dan berjaga2.
Wasn't he goading the gomen to take this action?
Just my humble opinion.
I am flabbergasted.The person reporting the racial slur was arrested under the ISA for doing her work... ie reporting.What warped logic!I am still unconvinced that YB Teresa Kok had done anything to warrant her detention under the ISA.The ISA was designed and used by the British to detain communist terorrists during colonial time.AAB is trying his best to remain for as long as possible...if possible, up till 2010.He is trying to tell the UMNO members that he is not weak.See, I can also use the ISA!
Mummy,
jgn lupa tukar alamat saya....

Kak Ton,
This is the holy month of Ramadan but it doesn't stop the fitnah and tar-brushing as an excuse for ISA.
When Pak Lah was reported on Sept 4 that the press must not be afraid to report the truth, it's not a licence. What he meant was report the truth but not if it threatens his position.
