Hello mommy,

Looks like the authorities is starting to take investigation process in his case. The police really is going to make this investigation to complete without any wrong steps and in a swift duration of time.

Hopefully the justice will punish the guilty crimes for their deeds.

A.kum Kak Maria,

1. Pihak pembangkang telah dapat membuktikan harga minyak boleh diturunkan sekurangnya 0.50/ltr.

2. Sepatutnya pihak kerajaan dapat umumkan harga minyak diturunkan dahulu 0.50/ltr hari ini !

3. Kemudian barulah 'sentuh' Anwar Ibrahim.

Haa, Anrwar must have scared the shit out of these BN goons after the debate last night.

The manner in which he was arrested by the police, stopping him at a junction near his home in Segambut, bundling him into an unmarked vehicle by balaclava-clad men and then speeding off to the KL police headquarters is abuse of police power.

After all, the appointed interview with the police was at 2pm.

What msg are they sending to the poeple.

They still havent learnt from the debacle of 1998.

Kak Ton,

The arrest is uncalled for and I believe the charge against Bro Anwar is politcally motivated.

Why did the police arrest him before the deadline?

And deploying police from the Unit Tindakan Khas to arrest DSAI. And why did they have mask on?

Cowards!

If the govet thinks this is the ONLY way to deal with Anwar, they are sadly mistaken.

No more a repeat of 1998 tragedy. Nobody deserves to be treated this way! NOBODY!

Kenapalah bodoh sangat polis nie.

Why the need to intercept his car? What more by masked police from the unit tindakan khas.

It's not going to help their image as a force whose responsibility is to protect the rakyat and maintain peace and order.

Haiyo, it only confirms the public's perception that they are nothing but BIG BULLIES.

Their high-handedness in the way they arrested Anwar yesterday was a blatant act of abuse of power.

Bahlol!!!!!

Yang semua pergi bising buat kecoh ramai2 dekat sana tu buat apa. Dia hanya disoal siasat, dia dituduh, ini adalah sebahagian daripada prosedur untuk menyiasat. Kalau sebenarnya dia betul2 buat kesalahan tu, bukan ke naya dekat mangsa tu? Takkan apa2 yang kena dekat Anwar semua tak betul?Kenapa penyokong2 Anwar ni teruk sangat. Cuba bawak2 bersabar tunggu semuanya selesai. Ini je lah jasa Anwar kepada negara, membawa fahaman berdemo dan berkumpul disana sini untuk buat kecoh..
