Tell That to the Police

Our leaders are ever ready to pontificate that Malaysia is a peaceful nation and yet here we have a case where the police allowed a mob of 500 persons to disrupt a peaceful gathering that was discussing how Malaysians could better understand each other.

It seems that the police have their own agenda. They should have asked the illegal gathering to disperse instead of allowing the approved meeting to be disrupted just like what happened some years ago when participants on East Timor were arrested by the police even though they were meeting in a hotel.

This incident proves that we really need the IPCMC now. The government’s vacillation with our “close one eye” MPs has resulted in a sorry state of affairs. Some of them have adopted the stance of the three monkeys.

When the police operate with favoritism and disregard of our laws, Malaysia becomes a nation where tyranny will flourish.

Let us hope the Minister will back up his words with some ACTION.
