| Is BN a validly elected Government - by Art Harun Posted: 28 May 2013 05:47 PM PDT The same system as in GE13 was used. The same delineation of voters and constituencies as in GE13 was used. I have heard not a single complain about gerrymandering since 2008 until May the 5th 2013. (I could be wrong and I stand to be corrected on this). In fact, most voters did not even know the word "gerrymandering" before 6th May 2013. Prior to GE13, noises were made about the electoral roll being dirty. Efforts were put, either by making noises, lodge police reports or by going to Courts (YB Nurul Izzah did this and it was commendable of her I must say) to clean the roll. But to no avail as judicial review was not available. But gerrymandering WAS NEVER an issue at all. Nobody, as far as I know, within Pakatan had complained about this. In fact, a cursory reading of the Buku Jingga, Pakatan's political and administration Bible, did not even mention gerrymandering. Buku Jingga did not even mention Pakatan's aspiration to re-delineate the various constituencies if they had come into power. The truth is this. It is without doubt that delineation of constituencies have been made and used by the BN to somewhat favour them. The question is whether that was legal or Constitutional. Why has there been no legal challenge? But why is it such a huge issue suddenly now? Because Pakatan lost the GE13? What if Pakatan had won? Would it be an issue? Or would Pakatan be ready to live under the same delineation just because it works for them? Was Pakatan willing to hedge its position prior to GE13 by NOT making any kind of noise about gerrymandering PRIOR to GE13? I don't know. My point is this. You knew it was there all this while. You live with it. You never made an issue out of it. You contested in not one, but TWO GEs with the same system.

| Posted: 28 May 2013 12:53 PM PDT Yet another death in police custody and all we can do is sit and watch. You see, taking it from a practical point of view, it is impossible not to beat a detainee in the lock up if he is involved in some heavy cases, such as the one Mr. Dharmendran was involved with; shooting. It is normally unofficial part of the interrogation process; but to beat someone to death is another thing altogether. Over the past decade, hundreds of detainees had died in the lock up, with hardly any action taken against the culprits behind it. The image of the police force in this country is fast deteriorating because of these mistakes. I still remember when I was about 18 years old; I was waiting for the bus in the Taman Sentosa bus stop while checking out some Meenachis when few Machas zig-zagged several times with their Honda EX5's. No helmets of course, and they were doing some monkey stunts trying to impress the Meenachis. Obviously not interested with the monkeys (and also me), they were sitting restlessly hoping that the bus would soon arrive.
And then it came. Not the bus, but a police patrol car. The Waja managed to force stop one of the bike while the rest managed to run away. One huge bulky Indian policeman came out and went to the Macha, and the conversation was something like :
Less than 5 seconds later, I heard a thunderous sound, and the Macha slumped to the side of the road. I don't know how to exactly describe it, but if you could measure it in terms of data consumption wise, it would be a terabyte-slap. The Macha obviously started crying and the policeman shouted :
 ACP Datuk Paramasivam That was the first time I saw ACP Paramasivam, one of the most feared policemen at that time. When Klang and Taman Sentosa was polluted with dangerous criminals, ACP Param was posted to Klang, to 'take care' of it. A fearless cop, he went down to the ground to battle these criminals; and when Taman Sentosa was at the peak of it's criminal activities, ACP Param restored faith to the people. The hardcore criminals that was hiding in Taman Sentosa was gunned down. The rest of the pullepuchi criminals knew ACP Param was not an ordinary man, and ran away knowing that this man is not to be messed with… Similarly, another legendary cop that most of the younger generation's are not aware of is DSP Kulasingam. He rose to fame when he was assigned to capture the most notorious criminal in Malaysian history, Botak Chin. A bachelor, DSP Kulasingam dedicated his life to the police force. A mere mention of his name will make criminals tremble in fear, knowing DSP Kulasingam track record. As far as I know, this is the only policeman whom I know is more notorious than any other criminals out there, busting crime as it happens and fucking up criminals no matter how dangerous they were…  DSP Kulasingam Quoting source:
He survived and went on fighting crimes.
Both were exemplary policemen. They fought crime and they fought it hard. They went down to the ground and showed the criminals who's the boss. But because of politics nowadays, the policemen are facing a bad reputation. They're no longer feared, they're more known as someone whom can be bought by money and reputation. You know exactly what I'm talking about, but I can't elaborate further. You can catch me for some shitty case, but your reputation is down the drain because hundreds of innocent Malaysians are dying in the streets as a result of snatch thieves and robbery. Why protect fucking criminal politicians who steals millions of dollars but kill an Indian who fought in a restaurant? Read more at: http://ragedindian.com/2013/05/28/india-mati-di-lokap/ |
