The emcee at one of the Abolish ISA vigils in Penang, Paula Khoo, found out when she turned up at the Patani Road police station this morning that her police bail was not going to be extended.
The police instead told her they would call her once their investigations are completed.
Wishing all of you a very happy Lunar Year. May your coming year be filled with love, peace, joy, compassion and everything good.
And here’s a special message from Rakyat@work:
