She was detained at 11.18pm in the KL area.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng speaking at a press conference described her arrest as a “travesty of justice” and “a mockery of democracy”. There appears to be a massive crackdown to prevent 916 from happening, he observed.

Gerakan leader Teng Hock Nan is leading a candlelight vigil with about 20 Gerakan supporters while human rights activists are also holding a vigil.

A crowd of about 200 people are now gathered at the police station in Penang. Some are milling around, some are singing “Suara Rakyat”.

Teresa was arrested by police when returning to her condominium in KL from a Mooncake Festival reception in her constituency office, according to Lim Kit Siang in his blog. Three police cars with over 10 police personnel stopped her at the condominium entrance and took her away.

This was Teresa’s press statement earlier today in which she wondered if we are heading for a re-run of Operasi Lalang.

  9. UMNO-BN is lashing out blindly in fear of losing power. Teresa Kok is a moderate politician who fights for all races. Be brave Teresa. We Malaysians of all races are with you. An immoral regime wont last long against people power.They can put all PR leaders in jail but how long can they keep them there? The pressure will be on UMNO-BN. The people are watching.

  11. Rakyat,

    We must stand firm and in solidarity with YB Teresa Kok. We must be seething with anger but we must not fall into their trap. We must stay focus and calm. We are in the darkest hour of Malaysian history. We will fight them and we must fight them, but on the political front and legally. They are snaring us into the trap and they are trying to entice us to give them an ounce of excuse to impose marshall law to snatch our Mother land from us.

    Rakyat, stay focus and calm. Be angry be very very angry but channel our anger and our energy into the proper channel and stay focus to defeat them on the political and legal platform.

    We have to stay focus for YM RPK, YB Teresa Kok and our sister journalist Ms. Tan.

    Stay calm, stay focus. Stay calm and focus. We will prevail and we WILL win.

  14. Dilarang menahan seseorang tanpa perbicaraan. Kalau tidak, mereka adalah orang yg dizalimi. Doa orang yg dizalimi, muslim atau bukan muslim, akan dimakbulkan Allah.

    Dilarang menyakiti dhimmi @ non-Muslim. Menyakiti mereka sama seperti menyakiti nabi.

    Orang yang meniupkan api perkauman secara terang-terangan tanpa mahu memohon maaf haruslah ditahan sekarang. Tidak boleh menahan orang yang melaporkan berita yang sah mengenai pemain api perkauman itu. Itu ialah kezaliman, dan doa orang yg dizalimi dimakbulkan Allah.

    Apabila kaum fasik seperti U**san membawa berita, haruslah menyiasat terlebih dahulu. Dan siasatlah juga blog-blog lain yang anda baca supaya anda tidak terlalu fanatik.

    Tak perlu fitnah-memfitnah pasal Azan. Fitnah itu dosanya besar. Orang yg difitnah ialah orang yg dizalimi. Orang yg dizalimi, doanya akan dimakbulkan Allah.

    Mempelajari kaedah pertanian betik adalah suatu perkara yang mulia. Lebih mulia lagi apabila tidak membazirkan wang rakyat.

    Ramadhan ialah bulan yang mulia. Mari kita memuliakannya dengan mengaku kalah bila dah kalah. Terima kekalahan dengan bermaruah itu lebih baik.

    Kalau tak mahu terima kekalahan, tak mengapa. Asalkan tidak menzalimi manusia lain. Menzalimi manusia akan membatalkan pahala puasa. Dan doa orang yg dizalimi akan dimakbulkan Allah.

    The details of the program as follows:

    We hope everyone will be joining with us and urge the government to release three of them and others from Kamunting immediately. We hope this message will be pass to everyone. Let’s fight for a better Malaysia without ISA.

  21. see what did I tell you! The debate on the political ethics of the take over by DSAI can go and in the meantime the corrupt UMNO led BN will do all in “power” to thrawt even if means working with the evil former dictator. The earlier the change takes place the better it will be for the rakyat. All of need to stand by DSAI and his team. Some pertinant questions to ponder>

    Why the need for ISA for the three people concerned?

    Why was RPK arrested while claiming Malaysia is free to operate?

    Why was Sin Chew’s Tan Hoon Cheng apprehended while the guy who uttered seditious remarks is just given a slap on the wrist, given the prevelige to host a PC in the presence of the UMNO secretary vowing to not to apolologise and that he will go round the country and speak to his people?

    Why was YB Teresa Kok arrested although she has denied doing anything wrong while the guy against whom police reports have been made by her and even by the mosque concerend goes goes scot free?

    Ponder my friends while you continue to debate on the ethics. It will be a case of so near yet so far.

  23. MCA, Gerakan, SUPP and other East Malaysian Parties. If you cannot stomach the abuse of putting innocent persons without trial under ISA, it is time for you to abandon BN. Let it fall. Let UMNO be the darcula. Time to join PR and have power sharing.
