The Road Not Taken

In China, Najib is happily hugging the communists and carrying their balls; but in his own country, he conned an old communist who is in his eighties by not allowing him to come home, which is against the Peace Accord signed by both the Malaysian government and the Communist Party of Malaya.

If Najib’s logic, “The government will not allow this because it would cause unhappiness, especially to the families of those who were killed during (the communist insurgency),” is applicable, he should have closed down the Japanese embassy and the British High Commision in this country. Because it would also cause unhappiness to many families of those who were killed during the anti-colonist war, including descendants of Maharaja Lela! Haha

“The government will not allow this because it would cause unhappiness, especially to the families of those who were killed during (the communist insurgency),” he said.

Najib was asked on the matter today during a quick seven-minute press conference at the Prime Minister’s Department today.

I am on hunger strike since 10am, 26 May (Tuesday). The first day was hell for me, especially when it was time for my supposedly first and second meal. Fortunately a whole gang of us were arrested. All the tension and fun made us forgot about our hunger.

It is near to the end, another 2 hours to go. We only drink mineral water, kopi o and 100 plus during these 3 days. We are going to end the strike at 6pm and start eating at 7pm.

Two person have just been arrested for standing in front of the DAP office. They are Simon Uthayakumaran a/l Sellaiyah and Haridas.

Heavy police presence at DAP HQ since this morning, even after we were arrested. Because of the uncalled-for police mobilisation, we change the venue of our candle light vigil, from downstairs to DAP office (indoor). Even that, the police wants to arrest our people.

I am surprisingly calm now. I have faith in this quote “Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad.”

I am the first one who was released. It was about 4:05pm. Thank you for everyone who has waited outside and those who prayed for us.

The struggle goes on. I am still on hunger strike.

The police has taken statements from all of us. But we are still waiting in the IPK. Food and drinks are served, none of us take the food because we are fasting.

The police is releasing us. Initially they wanted us to get a surety for everyone, but after our protest, the police conceded. We will be released on personal bond.

We will be out any moment from now.

8 elected representatives and 6 patriotic citizens are being arrested. We are being held in IPK Perak, near the Post Office HQ.

Choo Ooi Beng (DAP member), YB Leong Mee Meng (Jalong), YB Lim Pek Har (Menglembu), Vikneswary, YB Kula (MP Ipoh Barat), YB Sivakumar (Speaker DUN Perak), YB Chang Lih Kang (Teja), YB Keshvinder (Malim Nawar), YB Chan Ming Kai (Simpang Pulai), Chai Sing Fatt (DAP member), Wasu (DAP member), YB Thomas Su (Pasir Pinji), Chan Gee Keong (PKR member) and M Faisal bin Umar Ridzuan (unit amal PAS)

Myself and 13 others are being arrested. When the police arrest us, they did not tell us the ground of arrest even when we asked.

When I was arrested, i was being roughed up by the policemen. 3 to 4 of them manhandled me, one man pulled my hair from behind, while two of them held both my hands to my back.

I am now taking 112 statement…

MB Nizar and YB Speaker Sivakumar are here. When we were about to launch the hunger strike, the DBI (Dewan Bandaraya Ipoh) enforcement chief, Zaiyati, and his men wanted to destroy our makeshift canopy. He said the canopy is an illegal structure.

When MB Nizar wanted to shake hand with the DBI enforcement team and the policemen, he was being stopped

5 have been arrrested, 2 locals & 3 Burmese. All are employees of Etak, an event company we engaged with. They have been taken to IPD Ipoh at abt 7am.

Police are having breakfast nw

I am sorry for not being able to update you during the “very happening” May 7 sitting and events thereafter. I have lost my password…..!

Anyway, there are many interesting events coming up soon. For instance, the Pakatan Rakyat ADUN are starting a 72-hour hunger strike at DAP building. MB Nizar and Speaker YB Sivakumar will take the lead. I will be joining and hopefully will station there too.

Will try to update you from time to time.
