These 156 PPS members never expected that after taking part in the Merdeka procession, they were under arrest and directed by police to the station. It is amazing how our over-stretched police force seems to have so much time to spare in arresting Penang's own voluntary patrol force who are tasked to help police maintain law and order. What a way to thank them! Surely any question about their legality should have been sorted out first before resorting to such high profile arrest. Seems to make a mockery of whatever unity message which PM Najib tried to convey in his National Day address to the nation.
How should we judge a government?
In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!
"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain
Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham
"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan
Government fed by the people

Corruption so prevalent it affects English language?
When there's too much dirt...
