No Action on Protesters?

No action will be taken against those planning demonstrations over a High Court ruling allowing the use of the word "allah" by the Catholic weekly Herald, Najib said.

This is a great chance to see how our police practice double standards if really no action taken against those protesters.

I’m not here to discuss whether the word “allah” can or can’t be used by non-Muslims but rather to see how our police handle this.

Any demonstrations held by PR will always end with the police interruption as they categorize it as illegal assembly. When MCA members gather outside Wisma MCA where a candlelight vigil was taking place earlier to save their party leaders, then it was ok.

Some groups were planning to protest against the court’s decision tomorrow and the world can once again see how our Malaysian police handle this.

There are two important points here:

First of all, the police should not allow the demonstration to happen as it is illegal. Those protesters should be charged for illegal assembly and for not respecting the court’s decision. It’s against law!

Secondly, if the police issued permits to allow the demonstration, then the police should be charged for not respecting the court’s decision. Those protesters can still be charged for the same thing. Again, it’s against law!

Home Minister Hishammuddin said action will be taken only it affects security. He said, ‘if you don’t allow, it will affect people’s emotions’. If this is the case, you should allow demonstration against Perak’s BN-Govt because “it will affect people’s emotions”!

Again, I’m not here to discuss the court’s decision but would rather to watch such a great show on how our police could possibly practice double standards again.
