The Noose Tightens

1Malaysia? Whose Malaysia? By whom? For whom?

Not for Wong Chin Huat obviously. According to Malaysiakini, Wong, spokesman for the reform movement Bersih, was arrested last night at his home under the Sedition Act and taken in for questioning at the Commercial Crime Investigation Department HQ. It adds that his arrest could be attributed to his press conference yesterday where he had called for the public to wear black as a sign of protest against the takeover of the Perak state government by BN.

It doesn't make any sense at all. We've all heard and witnessed comments far worse than this, from all sorts of "elected" representatives and others in high office and influential positions, yet none of them were privileged with this "courtesy" call before.

All of which spells impending doom for ordinary Malaysians, who stand up for their beliefs and convictions. 1 Malaysia? Bah! Humbug! I would say.
