it is easy to talk abt ISA, corruption, abuse of power by police. that is a no brainer. it is kind of hard after all to defend such practices.

Hi everyone, It is truly panic-stations in PUTRAJAYA! The rhetoric by UMNO leaders in overseas fora and locally that conditions in Malaysia and those in the middle east and African states are different are MERE rhetoric without substance!
