STATEMENT FROM STUDENTS AND FORMER STUDENTS OF WONG CHIN HUAT:

“We, students and former students of Monash University who sat through Wong Chin Huat’s classes and tutorials, strongly condemn his arrest under these allegations. My fellow students, what was his crime?

“We believe that his only so-called crime was to demonstrate his commitment to make Malaysia a cleaner and more democratic country and a place we can continue to proudly call our home.”

Obviously the arrests are to break the rhythm of the organisers of black thursday so that the protest may collapse.

Why can’t citizens peacefully and peaceably assemble and protest ?

We must clearly know the reason(s) for all these arrests.It looks like the government is using fear tactic to remain in power.

Now we are all fearful of our government but when GE13 comes it is time we get rid of this unjustified fear.

Sad day in Malaysia’s history… We have to ask ourselves why and how we let this take place. The answer is 50 years of letting one political party hold to power and nothing to counter check their power. Do we have handcuffs for 100,000 pair of hands….?

GO RAKYAT…. POWER…

Dear Anil,

So all this while was najib lying through his teeth on 1malaysia,transparency and review of the ISA(?)

Now he will say I did not use the ISA. It is only The Seditin Act.

But why stop at only 19.

Why not all the bloggers….at least all those who are fighting for the legitimacy of the Perak Government.

I pity the police, but they have brought it upon themselves. They should have said no to UMNO at the first time of asking.

Now we have Hishamuddin as Home Minister….
