After the first revelation via the press statement by the Vice Chancellor of UPSI sent yesterday, I received an E-mail from an undisclosed source that contained a copy of an E-mail sent by the UPSI College Principal.
So Did The Police Beat Some Students?
I received a copy of a press release from the Vice-Chancellor (Students Affairs) of UPSI on the incident where 15 students were arrested for demonstrating at the University. Some students claimed that they got seriously injured after being roughed up by the police.
Or were they?
Kenyataan Akhbar Kronologi Peristiwa Perhimpunan Haram Depan UPSI pada 1 Januari 2012.
Pada jam 5pm UPSI dapat maklumat bahawa kumpulan mahasiswa Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia akan berkumpul di UM untuk mengadakan demonstrasi di UPSI. Demonstrasi ini adalah untuk mendesak kerajaan memansuhkan AUKU dan menuntut pertuduhan pada Adam Adli digugurkan.
Jam 10pm , kumpulan SMM dari UM dengan 3 kenderaan telah menuju ke UPSI. Wartawan dan beberapa kumpulan kecil mewakili pembangkang berkumpul di depan pintu utama UPSI dan kawasan sekitar
Pihak Keselamatan UPSI telah menutup semua laluan masuk ke upsi sepenuhnya, berkawal bersama bantuan suksis. Pihak polis berpakaian freeman mengawasi jalan-jalan utama di bahagian pintu timur dan utama selain rondaan traffic serta peronda (show force)
Demi menjaga maruah UPSI seramai 80 pelajar UPSI daripada beberapa kolej yang cintakan keamanan bersedia mempertahan UPSI dari gangguan pihak luar – dengan slogan “we love upsi “. Majoriti pelajar tidak suka dengan cara pihak luar campur tangan hal dalaman upsi. Upsi bertindak tanpa mana-mana tekanan pihak luar. Rata-rata Face book dan blog yang cintakan upsi, menyatakan sokongan agar bumi upsi tidak diganggu oleh pihak luar dan pelajar berhak pertahan nama baik institusi pendidikan ini.
Sekitar jam 2.10 pagi pelajar-pelajar akhirnya memulakan demonstrasi di depan pintu utama dengan melaungkan slogan menentang kerajaan dan menuduh upsi dan tnc mengugut pelajar, dan mereka mengeluarkan kata kesat (barua, anjing) terhadapPerdana Menteri, Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi, kerajaan, UMNO dan pemimpin UPSI. Mereka membawa kain rentang putih dan keranda daripada kotak serta membawa gambar PM sebagai simbolik pemansuhan AUKU. Polis membenarkan dengan pengawasan untuk mereka melaksanakan ucapan, jeritan, bacaan puisi dan upacara simbolik pemansuhan AUKU. Pada waktu ini Adam Adli dibawa terus ke depan pagar upsi dijulang utk berucap berkaitan kebebasan akademik, ada dikalangan mereka juga menjerit agar pagar dibuka dan memanjat pagar pintu utama. Mereke terus melaungkan slogan power mahasiswa selang seli dengan ucapan, tanpa henti dengan nada suara jeritan. Mereka disokong oleh beberapa wakil dari parti pembangkang sepanjang demo berlaku.
2 20am Polis menempatkan kenderaan dan anggota LSF (light strike force – bukan FRU) bagi menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan dan apabila LSF tiba mengambil tempat didepan simpang klinik shifa, kumpulan mereka (lelaki dan wanita) telah mengambil tindakan baring di atas jalan raya, bertindak sebagai perisai manusia serta konfran polis supaya tidak mengapa-apakan mereka atau berdepan tindakan revolusi pelajar seperti mesir dan Tunisia. Yang paling lantang antara mereka adalah Khalid Ismet, pelajar undang2 um (pakai baju merah, muka macam cina) cuba provokasi pihak LSF dan polis. Polis sekadar mengawasi, tiada sebarang kekerasan atau apa-apa tindakan provokasi.
235am mereka telah bergerak menghampiri pintu pagar utama dan melaungkan “Buka Pintu” dan mereka telah memanjat pintu pagar dan menjerit supaya “membuka pintu dan jangan menjadi barua UMNO”. Pintu pagar upsi telah digegarkan oleh mereka , ada yang memanjat pagar untuk memasuki dan apabila masa yang diberikan tamat, ocpd mengarahkan polis penangkap membuat tangkapan kepada kelompok tersebut selain ingin mengelakkan mereka menceroboh ke dalam upsi dan dibimbangi akan bergaduh dengan anggota pelajar suksis upsi, serta pemimpin pelajar yang berada dalam kampus. Pelajar-pelajar UPSI di dalam pagar tidak rela kampus mereka dicerobohi oleh para pelajar luar.
Oleh kerana mereka tidak mengindahkan arahan polis supaya bersurai dengan aman, mereka telah bergelut dengan pihak polis untuk membebaskan rakan mereka yang telah ditangkap dan waktu itulah rusuhan berlaku dan ada di antara mereka telah memecahkan pintu kaca (berkunci) Klinik Syifa dengan alasan rakan mereka sakit sesak nafas untuk dapatkan rawatan. Mereka dengan ganas memecahkan 3 panel dinding cermin klinik shifa. Polis tidak sesekali menggunakan kekerasan masa nak menangkap dan tidak memukul, mereka yang melawan sehingga terjatuh, malah anggota polis juga terjatuh semasa usaha menangkap mereka. Kecederaan berdarah yang dialami salah sorang dari mereka bukan kerana kekerasan polis tetapi terluka semasa mereka memecahkan dinding cermin klinik panel. Pihak polis telah menangkap 17 orang dan membawa mereka ke Balai Polis Tanjung Malim untuk ditahan, termasuk Adam Adli.
Keadaan kembali tenang selepas polis menahan 17 orang tersebut dan mengarahkan semua bersurai, polis tidak menahan pelajar wanita kecuali seorang pelajar upsi yang hadir ke balai dengan sukarela dan ditahan di sana. Polis meneruskan pengawasan terutama jalan utama depan upsi sehingga pagi bagi mengelak perkara tidak diingini berlaku.
Tindakan sepenuh pada tanggungjawab polis kerana diluar kawasan upsi dan tnchepa mengarahkan agar staf/pelajar berada didalam dan tidak membuat provokasi, sekadar memerhati walaupun dituduh dengan pelbagai kata-kata kesat.

The Mole Breached

So what is a Mole? For most it is that furry burrowing animal that is regarded by some as pest. For others, it could mean an insider giving out information.
For me, being someone with the sea close to heart, a mole is a solid structure on a shore that serves as a pier, breakwater or causeway. A bridge jutting out towards the horizon, if you must.
That is what the website The Mole means to me.
This blog of mine has been contributing to The Mole since the Malaysia Day promise of legal reforms by the Prime Minister. I was roped in probably because of the crazy stuff that I wrote in conjunction with BERSIH 2.0 and when people think they know history when they really don’t.
The Mole allows people like me, who are not from the other side of the coin, no matter which side of the coin you represent, to air our views, most importantly to lash out at lies dished out. Occasionally, people like me lash out at people representing the ruling Government too, as we are not paid by anyone, to write. I write what I feel about things, and if my readers feel they cannot agree with my points, then they can choose not to read – or leave a comment. The Mole picks up news from bloggers like me (although I do not think anything that I write is newsworthy if at all) and publishes them like normal newspapers would. The only difference between The Mole and, say Malaysiakini, is that those behind it are true political journos; not people from sports desk, or entertainment desk who were mustered to form the latter. And The Mole is more objective in its presentation, not permanently leaning on one side of the political fence.
This blog of mine, the blog of an insignificant person, has been subjected to several attacks in the form of written abuses. Well. I am no Rocky Bru, or Kickdefella, or Big Dog – but for people to feel threatened by what I have written means I must be saying something right somewhere. It is probably for this reason that The Mole was attacked by people who cannot handle the truth.
Rocky Bru asked a few bloggers and I on Twitter this afternoon: “Any major difference, Cyber Troopers and Terrorists?”
The similarity I would say is that Cyber Troopers are Terrorists when they start sabotaging other cyber sites. The only difference is terrorists terrorize. These cyber troopers don’t. Therefore, they are nothing more than petty criminals who get cheap thrill from doing stupid things, like those Mat Rempits of Setiawangsa who are fond of repositioning traffic signal lights. No difference there.
Anyway, if you want some fun in knowing what is the truth about who has been lying to the rakyat, enjoy this clip:
Discrimination
I find it ironic that Suara Keadilan tweeted the fact that Russian astronauts are allowed to vote from space but overseas Malaysians are not. In almost the same foul-breath, DAP says members of the police and armed forces should not be allowed to vote in Sarawak because they were not born there. If this isn’t discrimination bordering racism, then I do not know what is. Furthermore, DAP reps are known to have made racist remarks every now and then?
I would agree with this move as several lawmakers from thenPR side were not even born in Malaysia, like Saifuddin Nasution and several others whose IC number came out in an expose a few months ago when the issue of illegal immigrants was hotly debated. Maybe they should be disqualified from office for not being natural-born Malaysians.
DAP should not forget that members of the police and armed forces serving in Sarawak serve the people of Sarawak, too, and come under the crap of the MP/ADUN where they serve, and therefore have every right to vote for or against the party the MP/ADUN represent. Maybe DAP lacks the confidence in winning bigger number of votersthere and is seeking a scapegoat to cover its weaknesses; and what better scapegoats than the police and armed forces?
Wake up, DAP! If you spend lesser time politicking and more time serving the rakyat, then you should not worry.
And remember, the term “RAKYAT” does not belong to your supporters only as majority of us were born in Malaysia, unlike your PR MPs who are also PR of other countries.
Tsk! Tsk!
A Racist Nonetheless
And those whose brain cells are cooked by those rags on the head clap in agreement…

The Segamat Line
When you talk about the defence of Johor, you will often hear the term “Segamat Line.” It is that theoretical line that cuts from the east coast to the west across Segamat. I shall not elaborate more on that matter, just that I chose this as the title for this posting.
Much has been said about Mat Sabu and his glorification of Mat Indera and the Johor communists that led to youngsters who were still swimming inside their father’s balls when members of the Communist Party of Malaya still went around killing policemen, armed forces personnel, civilians, attacking various places with bombs etc to glorify them as well. What Mat Sabu did invoked the wrath of the majority of Malays that Nik Aziz saw it fit to raise the Hudud issue again just to put the Malay support slide in check. Did the PAS central committee sanction Mat Sabu’s script? I don’t know but I don’t believe so. His script echoes that of DAP’s Ronnie Liu’s – a cry to glorify Chin Peng and his cohorts back in August 2005.
To me, it was DAP’s script that Mat Sabu used with the intention of splitting the Malay votes in Johor. It is no secret that Johor is UMNO’s strongest bastion. You split the Malays there, UMNO is doomed. DAP Johor, with Boo Cheng Hau as the State Opposition Leader, is not in the position to take the lead in this process. Why do I say so? Despite portraying itself as a multiracial party, DAP is a chinese-based party. For example, Johor has 3,3 million inhabitants. 1.8 million or 54% are Malays; 1.0 million or 30% are Chinese; 200k or 6% are Indians. But the composition of DAP’s State Committee has only one Malay committee member and two Indians while the other 12 are Chinese. This is not limited to Johor only. The same numbers represent Kedah, while in other states you can hardly find any Malay committee member. In DAP’s Central Committee, out of 31 members only two are Malays and three from the Indian diaspora. In DAP Women Section, the only odd one out of 11 members is an Indian who is only the ASSISTANT Publicity Secretary. She’s there only for publicity. In DAPSY, out of 23 members only one is not Chinese. He is a Sikh, and no, his name is not Jaswan Singh. So, is DAP in essence a multiracial party? I leave that to your judgement.
Therefore, using Mat Sabu and his party would definitely help the cause. But to a certain extent, it backfired.
Enter Gwee Tong Hiang.
Who is Gwee Tong Hiang? On the 21st June 2008, His Royal Highness the Sultan of Johor had this to say about Tong Hiang:
“Ada yang kat sini, yang semalam atau yang hari kelmarin, yang menunjuk-nunjuk jaguh, yang tak mahu pakai senonoh, kalau hendak, ini jam keluar kat sini (There are people here, who yesterday or the day before, tried to be heroes by not dressing decently … come out now here).”
Tong Hiang is one of many DAP state assemblymen and Parliamentarians who have trouble memorising the Rukunegara especially Rukuns number 2, 3 and 5. For those of you having the same problem, please Google it.
Tong Hiang was not a favourite of the Johor DAP State Committee, and when he promoted himself as a GE12 candidate for the Bentayan state seat, B00 Cheng Hau was not at all pleased. However, being in Lim Guan Eng’s circle, he got his wish. When he was accused of the improper execution of the sale and purchase of Muar’s Wisma DAP in 2007, Guan Eng instructed Tong Hiang to bring his 17 accusers to court.
Tong Hiang’s arrogance, along the way, has caused discontent among DAP Muar’s members and many have left him since GE12. He is dubbed “the Ronnie Liu of Johor” for his purported association with loan sharks and other seedy characters. Early this year, DAP Bakri was reported to have had around RM60,000 but just after mid-2011, it was left with aroound RM2000 to RM3000 in the bank. In August of 2011, the DAP Bakri Liaison Committee had its annual election, members who have been told of the financial crisis faced, ousted Tong Hiang as their Chairman. Finally, in September 2011, Tong Hiang was suspended for six months by DAP’s Disciplinary Committee for improprieties in managing DAP Bakri’s funds. He was alleged to have issued a party cheque for an amount of RM45,000 for the purchase of a pick-up truck that was registered in his company’s name. If a BN person did so, I am very sure DAP would have asked for his head for breach of trust, but as expected and as Guan Eng’s henchman in Johor, Tong Hiang was only given the suspension. Hardly a punishment considering how much party funds he had misused. To add insult to injury, the DAP Party Disciplinary Committee Chairman also issued a gag order for members not to make any statement regarding Tong Hiang’s suspension.
Tong Hiang’s latest stunt, holding a press conference claiming that someone from the BN had offered him RM500,000 RM150,000 to jump ship should also be taken with a pinch of salt. No one sane mind would want to be associated with someone who is under suspension from his own party for the misappropriation of party funds. I can only deduce that he pulled that stunt to shift the people’s attention away from his misdemeanour.
Therefore, we know now that as the State Committee Chairman, Boo Cheng Hua only controls south of the Segamat line, while the one in control of the north of Johor is Guan Eng. Perhaps more of those not aligned to Tong Hiang will be ousted in the future.
As for whether Tong Hiang will ever be reported to the authorities for breach of trust and misappropriation of party funds, we’ll wait and see. But I will definitely not hold my breath.
The Road To Merdeka – Freedom
“Sometimes a brave thing like this is necessary” – Tun Mohammed Hanif bin Omar, former Inspector-General of Police, commenting on the Prime Minister’s speech as it was being delivered to the nation.
I heard the Prime Minister’s 54th Merdeka cum Malaysia Day speech – all 33 paragraphs, on the radio. It is addressing the people’s concerns. When he took over the helm as the Prime Minister of Malaysia in April of 2009, he promised that he would study the Internal Security Act, 1960 comprehensively. Tonight, he announced that the Act itself would be abolished. So would the Banishment Act, 1959, Restricted Residence Act, 1933, and the Printing Presses and Publications Act, 1984. Apart from that, Section 27 of the Police Act, 1967 will be reviewed in the spirit of Article 10 of the Malaysian Federal Constitution.
The ISA will be replaced by an anti-terrorism Act that would only deal with subversive elements and elements of terrorism, and it would not be as sweeping as the ISA was.
How do I feel about it?
We will be celebrating our 48th year as Malaysia, and it is about time Malaysians show some degree in maturity and accountability in the way they write, speak and act. It is time for Malaysians to open up instead of having myopic views about things that do not represent their beliefs, be it personal or political. It is all about self-censorship. It is about nation-building, not nation-demolishing. It is telling us all to stop manipulating each other, or lie about things when we know the truth. It is about standing up not for ourselves, but for the longevity of this nation.
For BERSIH and the Police, it would mean that the rakyat have a better chance at exercising their freedom to assemble, of course within the limits of the law. The application for a permit to assemble has to be submitted to the police beforehand with all the prerequisites met. If they are met, the police will have to issue a permit and ensure that whilst the rights to assemble by one party is being upheld, the right to the use of roads by road users, the right to the peaceful conduct of business or life of others are also protected. If there is a dispute, both parties (organisers and the police) will have to fulfill the requirements of the law by going for a judicial review. The court of law has the final say – definitely not the organisers, definitely not the police.
It also means those who prefer to cause alarm through their seditious words will be dealt with other laws such as the Penal Code or the Sedition Act. Gone will be the days when the Prime Minister could order for the arrest of a journo just because she wrote something he personally did not like, or something to that effect. Journos should also be more responsible with what they write – write facts with a clear head and not driven by emotions. Write facts and not fabricate lies for political mileage and so on.
It also means the cry for the abolishment of the ISA and other laws deemed by the people to be oppressive now no longer need to be continued – as it is time for all of us Malaysians to stop whatever it is that we are doing that is tearing us as one people apart and start thinking collectively as one people instead of claiming that this small group of “we” represent the people as a whole. Remember, there is always two sides to a coin.
It also means the Police will now have more work to do in accordance to whatever laws they have left to guide them. But it would also mean that the Inspector-General of Police would have to educate his men that knowledge of the law is not to be taken lightly. How the absence of certain laws will dictate how our society would behave after today remains to be seen, as would the after-effects of this decision by the Prime Minister.
Ponder upon this – soon after the May 1969 tragedy, Malaysians were more cohesive than they are now. If you truly value this land we call our home, defend it together, not against one another. Use this new-found “freedom” to unite.
Selamat Menghayati Erti Kemerdekaan dan Selamat Mendalami Makna Penubuhan Malaysia.
Ask Kambeng, But Kambeng Stupid
A friend pointed me to this blog belittling a military tradition. As an ex-military officer, I take offence in this, be it from the Opposition, or from the supporters of the government of the day.
Click Here To See How Stupid This Is
The Cenotaph seen in the video was built by the British Administration to honour the fallen during the First and Second World Wars, and the First Malayan Emergency. It was first located at a roundabout near the old KL Railway Station, and the Masjid Negara. That road was first called VICTORY AVENUE. This cenotaph was moved to the present location near the National Monument in 1964 because of a construction. The construction of our National Monument was commissioned in 1963, and completed in February of 1966. That area was called CENOTAPH ROAD after the First Monument. It now bears a Malay name, JALAN TUGU.
In the video, you see a group of kids from an International school paying respect to the fallen dead – Commonwealth Soldiers whom had fallen protecting this soil during the two world wars, and the First Emergency, while the “Last Post” is played by buglers from the 1st Royal Malay Regiment. This, I’m sure, was taken during WARRIORS DAY to honour the dead.
This nation owes the current peaceful situation to the fallen dead: men and women who were not only Malays, but also Punjabs, Indians, Chinese, Australians, British, New Zealanders and others. This is NOT the only site where the dead are being honoured. The same is being done every year at God’s Little Acre in Taiping, and in Sandakan to honour the Australian soldiers who perished during a forced March by the Japanese to Bongawan.
War knows nothing of colour of skin, the God you hold, the food you eat – buried in this land are Muslims, Jews, Taoists, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, what-have-yous; who lost their life so we could live in peace and prosperity. We don’t honour them because they are Muslims or Colonialists, we honour them for the greatest sacrifice that they have done. In the UK, are the names of six Malay men who were lost on board the HMS Banka, a Royal Navy ship that was sunk by the Japanese. They are being honoured annually by the British.
Were we involved during the First World War? There wasn’t much action here in Asia, but in October of 1914, there was the Battle of Penang: the German cruiser Emden sunk the Russian cruiser Zhemchug. 89 crewmen were killed. 82 are buried in Penang. The other seven bodies were never found.
Of course, I don’t expect ignorant keyboard soldiers whom have not spend even a second in His Majesty’s service to understand military tradition. All that ever comes from them are incomprehensible filth. it shows what their brain is made of.
Running Dogs
Running Dog – a literal translation from the Mandarin words zu gu, used to depict a servile follower or a lackey
Short of a month six years ago, Ronnie Liu of the DAP attempted to get the sympathy of Malaysians towards Chin Peng et al. I hold the view that Man must seek knowledge and truth for justice to prevail. But Ronnie Liu’s was doing a white-wash by equating the communists’ struggle to nationalism by describing the clamping of the British on PKMM in 1947 as the reason the communists took drastic action to free the Tanah Melayu from colonisation when in fact PKMM sided with the Malayan Union in 1946 by working with AMCJA and PUTERA that have close ties with the CPM. It was on 1st April 1946 that PKMM supported and welcomed the appointment of Sir Edward Gent as the Governor of the Malayan Union.
The CPM had been around since the 1930s if not earlier, and with the capitulation of the Kuomintang in China, the CPM was more interested in making the Tanah Melayu a China-leaning satellite communist state.

Body of a policeman at the Bukit Kepong police station burnt by the communist terrorists
Fast-forward to the present day, where the VP of PAS, Mohammad Sabu (aka Mat Sabu) glorified Mat Indera, leader of the 4th Company of the CPM that attacked the Bukit Kepong police station and massacred the police personnel as well as family members in February 1950, as the true heroes of the nation. At the same time, he claimed that the policemen who had died in that tragedy were officers of the British Empire (read Mat Sabu hina pejuang negara – Utusan Malaysia 27th August 2011.
Mat Sabu had said the above when giving a political ceramah at Tasek Gelugor, Pulau Pinang on the 21st August 2011.

Mat Sabu glorifying the communist terrorists at Tasek Gelugor (courtesy of Utusan Malaysia)
Mat Sabu also went on to describe Dato’ Onn Jaafar and Tunku Abdul Rahman as British officers. Six years ago, Ronnie Liu went on the same line by saying UMNO and MCA were British lackeys, or “friends of the British.”
Mat Indera, Samsiah Pakeh and a few other Malays who joined the CPM were mostly Indonesian nationalists from Sumatera whose people were not of the Sultan’s people. Therefore, they look to the Indonesian freedom struggle for inspiration.
What Mat Indera did to the survivors of the Bukit Kepong massacre who could not escape in time is nothing to be proud of, even if he is to be regarded as a nationalist. He and his men burned the police station and quarters down and even threw children of the deceased policemen into the flames alive. Mat Indera was later captured and hung to death.
When the Persekutuan Tanah Melayu gained independence in 1957, the CPM did not lay down arms. In fact, their struggle to turn Malaya into a communist satellite continued for another 3 years despite pulling out of Malaya in defeat in 1953 and headquartered in southern Thailand. There was a brief lull until they resumed with the Second Emergency in 1969. If they were truly fighting for independence, why then did they go on killing thousands up until 1989? Let us also not forget that when Malaysia was formed in 1963, Chin Peng refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of Malaysia and joined forces with the Indonesian Armed Forces during the Indonesian Confrontation to crush Malaysia. So, can you call Chin Peng a nationalist?
Chin Peng, Mat Indera et al contributed to Malaysia nothing more than the wastage and destruction of wealth and lives.
As for UMNO and MCA being friends of the British, I hope both Mat Sabu and Ronnie Liu could explain then why did Sir Gerald Templer call Aziz Ishak a rat? Ronnie Liu’s blatant attempt to paint that the independence was given on a silver platter by the British to the Alliance is nothing more than a display of ignorance, one that is now being parroted by a lower-IQed Mat Sabu.
Why did Tunku and the Alliance members who won their federal, state and municipal seats walk out of these chambers in protest?
Why did Tunku and T.H. Tan have to lobby their friends in the British Parliament before the Colonial Secretary would see them?
I hope and pray that Mat Sabu will give such a talk in military bases as well police stations; not forgetting also to veterans of the security forces and wait long enough to see what they think.
As for me, it is my opinion which you may not share, that Ronnie Liu is the CPM’s running dog, while Mat Sabu is DAP’s running dog.
