I am of the view that the government is very cautious on gatherings not to mention marching in public. Reasons given that no permit is given by the police for such gathering. I wonder would the police ever give permits to hold such gathering or marching? Definitely a no no. The OCPD may get transferred out and no chance of promotion in the near future.

So it would become an illegal gathering although the Constitution allows such gathering, but the police will never allow it and they give security reasons. We have learnt from Bersih gathering that it was peaceful, the only setback eager OCPD gave order to disperse at Masjid Jamek but the participants did not retaliate or throw any stones although many were in tears due to the chemical laced water.

Why don't the police allow a peaceful gathering and control the route of the participants peaceful rather than curb it?

The answer is in the hands of the powers that be.

Maybe I should remind our dear PM that his son in law breaches a number of laws and I am wandering whether would he be charged and prosecuted?

"The Government does not practise double standard when taking action on law breakers even if they are lawyers, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Sunday.

"Even today I've been informed that police have arrested eight people (including four lawyers). Even though they are lawyers, if they break the law, definitely action will be taken against them."

Comment: What a hypocritical statement! Was action taken against your son in law when he demonstrated against Rice?

"They did not obey the law, they still want to protest and they acted in defiance of the law. Definitely, the police have to take action in accordance with the law," he said."

Comment: You and the Police did not obey and observe the rule of law! There is no defiance of the law if the police has granted permit for a peaceful assembly isn't? In any event, there is no such requirment since it is peaceful in the first place! Edmund Bon was exercising his constitutional rights when he tried to prevent the DBKL officers from entering the Bar Premises without a warrant. He was acting in accordance with the law and the DBKL was acting ultra vires their powers. The police, when arresting Edmund, stepped out of line. They should have arrested the DBKL officers for entering into the premises without a warrant! What a double standard!

The walk was in line with the celebration of huma rights. How come PM thinks it is ani government? Please PM for once..get your facts right!!!!!

And I wonder whether all these marches is adverse to the country or to the government!!!!

By 'no double standard', he means that all those arrested were arrested, along with the others, even though they may be lawyers.

However, by 'double standard', those who are aware of the happening, mean that just because the Deputy UMNO leader is his son-in-law, he was spared, and not arrested, even though he participated in the street march.

Mind clinics have to be opened for mind cleansing purposes so that a common consensus is reached at all times.

YAB, tolonglah. Kami hanya minta pihak-pihak berkuasa untuk kerja bersama kami sebagai rakyat jelata. Jangan lah sampai polis semua pi tangkap orang-orang yang cuma menghadiri sambutan hak asasi manusia. Yang sampai peguam Edmund Bon kena tangkap sebab cuba mengahalang pihak DBKL daripada masuk ke dalam premis Majlis peguam untuk menanggalkan poster-poster tu tak boleh la. Depa tak boleh lah masuk tanpa permit. Itu perlanggaran undang-undang oleh DBKL. Habis bila DBKL pi langgar undang-undang macam tu macam mana? Apa nak jadi pulak? Itu dah jadi pencerobohan bersifat jenayah. Takkan la depa semua yang pi ceroboh premis Majlis Peguam tu tak ditangkap pulak?

Semestinya ini tidak dimaksudkan sebagai Malaysia Boleh?

Tolong lah, "kerja bersama kami, bukan kerja untuk kami".

Sekian.
