ISA detainees weevil and wild life meals

A quote from Malaysiakini,
Jeffrey Kitingan and four of his fellow inmates managed to catch a small snake on two occasions and a bird to supplement their diet when they were detained under ISA.

Is it not bad and cruel enough for people to be detained without a trial under ISA? Why treat them even worse than criminals in normal prisons by not giving them the same privillege accorded to criminals to buy food and drinks from canteens? If the authorities are not willing to spend a little more money for better food for the detainees, allow their families and donors to provide food for them or run a canteen for them. ISA detainees should not be treated badly as most of them these days are politically motivated arrests. They are not hardcore criminals.

First, Teresa Kok complained about the food and I thought that she was being choosy but slowly the truth is coming out from other detainees. Imagine having to catch wild life like snakes and birds to supplement your food or having weevil infested food.

If Syed Hamid thinks that the food is alright, then he should stay there for a month and eat the same food with additional weevil protein added.

I urge the government to have a heart. To those who believe in God, you would not do this to another human.

MANSUHKAN ISA!

Let not heroes like Raja Petra cry alone

This morning I stumbled upon this particular blog by Sheih Kickdefella (his blogger name) touching on the arrests of Raja Petra and how we Malaysians are all talk and no action. It is indeed true. Malaysians rather grumble, curse and talk behind or come online and scream profanities and then hide or give one thousand and one excuses for why they are not able to show support for those who have been detained unfairly under ISA. How do I know? Well, I've tried convincing my friends to join me in Kamunting to show support for RPK and other ISA detainees during Raya and disappointingly, their replies were er.......

My dear Malaysians, don't grumble or regret when you see your country going down, when you see no future for your children or grandchildren coz what have you done to help make Malaysia a better place for all or even support the people who fought on your behalf. Don't let these heroes and their families suffer alone is my plea to all. Ever heard of the saying "Laugh and the whole world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone"? Don't let it happen to these heroes.

Quote from his blog:
So truly Malaysian we are, we will rather relax and enjoyed our forthcoming holiday sipping Earl Grey in the balcony of the resort and yes, we will have no problem seeing our once beloved fella rotten in the Kamunting Detention Centre. Well, he is not the first, right?

RPK, a hero not to be forgotten

I never expected that I would be so overcomed by emotions or would shed a tear for someone whom I don't know personally. Yes, RPK or Raja Petra has done this to me. Made me into an emotional wreck since his arrest under ISA. Now, how did he managed to make me feel this way? In this world of today, most people are selfish, caring for themselves and their families only. Few would sacrifice all they have and risk being sent to prison just to see justice and speak the truth. I thought I would never live to see a Mahatma Gandhi in my lifetime and especially in Malaysia. RPK, a Prince who gave himself to all of us so that hopefully Malaysia will see a brighter future.

RPK made me and many non-Muslims see that Islam is a good religion, practices fairness and justice. It is people like him that gives Islam a good name. Unfortunately, our government has chosen to twist it around and use religion to imprison him. It is our government that practices injustice by imprisoning people under ISA under the pretext of religion that gives religion a bad name.

This is what RPK said in one of his blogs :
RPK says: No, I am not a deviant or a blasphemous Muslim of the worst kind. It is those in government who are. And I will uphold the true Islam and oppose these deviants till my last breath and the last drop of my blood. Sure, punish me with laws that Islam forbids. Today, I will face you in a kangaroo court to face punishment under laws that Islam forbids. Tomorrow, I will be the witness in God’s court where you will then face trial for violating God’s laws. In God’s court, I will be assured justice denied me now. And the punishment you receive in God’s court will be many times worse than what you can do to me in this world. And God will determine if I am a deviant and a blasphemous Muslim of the worst kind. That is not for you to say. God never appointed you His assistant here on earth. Instead, God said He knows what is in our hearts and only He will know

I appeal to all Malaysians to search your heart and give your support to RPK and all the ISA detainees. Fight to abolish ISA. Today, it is them and their families suffering. Tomorrow, it might be you or someone you know or love.

Go to this website to see what you can do to show your support.
