WHERE ASSAULT COMES BEFORE TALK.

The people continue to suffer when their mandor maintains the position of disregarding them.

A total of 105 people who took part in the protests on Sunday are still being detained while 24 were released last night.
They would also be investigated under Section 188 of the Penal Code for disobeying the court’s order not to a hold a gathering in front of the British Embassy.
“We will also investigate them for other offences and forward the investigation papers to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further action,” Comm Wan said.

The Warong kopi fully agrees with UMNO's electoral chief in that elections in Malaysia have reached a high standard of being "free and fair".
Right! the ruling party is free to do whatever it likes and this is seen as fair to the Chief of the election commission.

Malaysia's electoral chief said Monday that national polls will be held soon, and rejected opposition demands for reforms to ensure transparency.
Abdul Rashid insisted that any claims of electoral impropriety are baseless.
"We have done very well," he said. "If you talk in terms of free and fair elections ... we have achieved quite a high standard. As far as we are concerned, everything is transparent."

To control protest in Malaysia the Deputy Internal Security Minister says,
1. It is okay to tear gas and hose down protesters with chemical laced water.
2. Than only the “soft” approach of asking the crowd to disperse.
Assault comes before talk.

Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Mohd Johari Baharum defended the approach taken by the police in breaking up the illegal demonstration by Hindraf yesterday, and in handling the more than 10,000 protestors.
Johari said that after trying to disperse the demonstrators through the use of tear gas and water cannons, the police used the "soft approach" by asking Hindraf leaders to address the crowds to tell them to disperse.

THAMBI.....WHAT IS NEW IN YOUR LIFE?

The UMNO run government warmly welcomes foreign millionaires and billionaires to gather in Malaysia.

Some 1,000 millionaires and billionaires are expected to visit the country next month to attend the "Journey Through Time" watch and jewellery exhibition. The event is in conjunction with the Malaysia Year End Sale (M-YES) carnival.
Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said the event, organised by YTL Corporation Bhd, was also a way for Malaysia to introduce itself as a shoppers' paradise among the elite.

But they use violence to trample on the legitimate rights of the Indian poor to gather in peace.

Ten thousand people ignored official warnings to stay away from a planned rally here, turning up this morning near the British High Commission to hand a memorandum to representatives of the mission, claiming that they had been marginalised and seeking compensation from the British Government.
Police fired tear gas and water cannons at the demonstrators and arrested dozens.

And as boot-lickers within their community abet in the use of violence to suppress their poor by calling it an illegal gathering.

Community leaders from 25 leading Indian associations have backed MIC’s call for tomorrow's Hindraf march to the British High Commission to be cancelled because there are too many political, economic and social concerns at stake.
“Investors are watching us closely, and if they do not have good vibes about this country, they will shift their attention elsewhere“ said Malaysian Associated Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry public relations and publicity chairman K. Ramesh.
The leaders said they would advise their 500,000-odd members to steer clear of the gathering.

Shameless wannabe leaders of the community fight for scraps that fall off the table of suppression.

In setting up MIUP, Nallakaruppan said the priority of the new party was to address the Indian community problem using fresh ideas and new blood.
The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) president Datuk M. Kayveas should meet with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi over seat allocations in the coming general election, Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Tajol Rosli Ghazali advised.
The Indian Progressive (IPF) will continue to give full support to the Barisan National even though it is not o­ne of the BN component parties.
This was conveyed by its President, Datuk M.G Pandithan to the media, after he was visited by Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

So Thambi, what is new in your life?

FOR THE POOR, VAMPIRES CONTINUE TO RIDE ON THEIR BACK.

The PM proposal for meritocracy will as usual come to nothing.
The DPM has already dismissed his boss proposal and has called for an additional 40 years to cultivate a learned and knowledgeable “2057 Malay generation”. The ace in his pack of cards has been thrown - the Malay Poor.
Delegates to the UMNO AGM will pick this scent and will demand and clamor for more “assistance” from the UMNO run government ostensibly to achieve this noble objective.
It will not be the poor who will benefit.
It will be the politically connected who will benefit most when the contracts are issued.
For the poor, the vampires within the UMNO run government will continue to ride on their back.

The Malays have been urged to give priority to early childhood education to produce a learned and knowledgeable "2057 generation" to propel the nation to greater heights. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the Malays must think of the challenges ahead and the areas to be given priority in the next 50 years.

With their bad mouthing against each other put on hold, the leaders of the MIC and the PPP will need an outlet to vent their hostility.
Perhaps a bout of fencing in the buff will allow them to view themselves to be what they really are.
Stripped of their feudal powers, titles and fine clothing’s there is no difference between them.
In fact they have a strong similarity that they cannot refute. Both have very miserably failed the Indian community as they remain disproportionately poor and trapped in a life of quiet desperation.

MIC and PPP should immediately stop bickering openly and avoid challenging one another, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. “This is no good and it is not our (Barisan Nasional’s) way. We want a good relationship between Barisan Nasional component parties. MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu and PPP president Datuk M. Kayveas have been on a war of words with each other in the media recently.
