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.
Dear Malaysians,
The country’s leaders are trying to “create a situation”. Let’s not give them a chance at all! We the people, should not fall for their tricks. The columnist in Utusan Malaysia who maliciously wrote about Theresa Kok, Utusan Malaysia and Ahmad … are free, free and free.
BN-UMNO, you are nearing your expiry date!

The arrest of Teresa Kok and the Sin Chew reporter under ISA is a mockery compared to the 3 years suspension of Ahmad Ismail. If this is the kind of government I am getting, I will definitely be rooting for anyone else other than BN.
The spirit of BN has long died. It exist only to rubber stamp UMNO’s decisions. This is good timing that UMNO shows its true colors that they don’t care a damn about what the other component parties are thinking and saying. So what are you waiting for Gerakan? MCA? PPP? MIC? Are you going to continue to be treated …. by UMNO or stand up…
Time to abandon the BN ship! It is on it’s way down!!!

I think Mugabe would be proud of .. how Malaysian government dealt with opposition members. Maybe the Zimbabwe government should sent their law makers to Malaysia for a “Lawat Sambil Belajar”.
We are now officially “upgraded” to be on par with countries like Myanmar, North Korea, Zimbabwe etc.

Stay at home, stay calm
For two weeks, a few troublemakers tried very hard to make the people angry. But most Penang folks remained calm and patient. (Only the BN leaders got angry.) Please continue to help your relatives and friends to remain calm and patient.
Don’t listen to or spread rumours. Get the latest updates from internet websites. But do not log on for too long, so that others can have a chance to read the news.
Whatever happens, please do not go out on the streets. Don’t give the police any reason to arrest more people. Even if you are angry, just stay at home. Pray for peace in Malaysia. Pray for those who have been arrested and their families. Pray for a peaceful change in government.

Honestly, almost everone on the street knows that the leadership is directionless ! Economy is down! Education standard is dropping by days! Share market is in doldrum! FDI shrinking! Now with such stupid act, I believe FDI would shrink even further!!!

This could be the last attempt from the very powerless GOV. Shame on you Pak Lah, shame on you UMNO, your racist agenda has been well exposed to the public, do you think by your undemocratic media can demolish the power of reformation wanted by Malaysian peoples.

let us all stay united and pray for our heroine, Teresa. She didnt do anything wrong, even the leaders of the Mosque said she didn’t intefere with the azan prayer. so why arrest someone when there’s no complains from the mosques itself. If she did something wrong charge her in court. why use ISA? people, pray that God will give her the strength during her detention and we also pray that she will be released soon.
