The de facto PKR leader was on his way back to his house after being questioned by the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA).

A team of police officers were waiting, according to lawyer R Sivarasa.

Anwar was driven away in a 4WD vehicle with tinted windows, escorted by a convoy of 15 patrol cars. They arrived at Kuala Lumpur police headquarters at 1.11pm.

Reason of Arrest:
The police were worried that PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim would not show up at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters by 2pm and therefore decided to arrest him.

Star Online quoted Federal CID director Bakri Zinin as saying that Anwar was supposed to have gone directly to the police headquarters immediately after giving his statement to the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) in Putrajaya.

“However, we were informed that after he left the ACA headquarters in Putrajaya, he had changed his route and was heading back to his house in (Bukit) Segambut.

Anwar Doughter’s Say:
Dad was arrested by the cops whilst on his way to the IPK to give his statement. The cops gave till 2pm for dad to report but still arrested him before the deadline. Dad was on his way back home to have lunch in Bukit Segambut, and then head to the IPK but the cops blocked off the road and arrested him like a criminal. And the cops who arrested him were Special Squad cops with balaclavas!!! Is that necessary!!!

Private investigator P Balasubramaniam has made shocking claims that Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak had links with murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.

Najib Denies Affair with Altantuya

Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today denied allegations that he had links with murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu as claimed by a private detective.

Reading out from a prepared statement at a packed press conference in Parliament this evening, the embattled deputy premier reiterated that he had never met or knew Altantuya.

He dismissed the statutory declaration filed by private eye P Balasubramaniam, who was hired by Najib’s close associate Abdul Razak Baginda to deal with the Altantuya problem, as “concocted” claims.

Lesson Learnt : Don’t f… around especially when you’re well known among everyone or if you’re holding top position in any organizations!!!

General question the callers ask and the answers Saras replied.

How is Satish Condition?

Satish has been discharged for the hospital on previous Monday. He is in his Mother in law’s place now, seems to be stable but still bed ridden. He has a follow up check up this coming Monday.

Does Satish have Insurance? Why he doesn’t have it?
Insurance - Yes that is true he has no insurance policy. Insurance is compulsory for every individual. I totally agree with you. Unfortunately I never know that he has no insurance policy until the day of accident. If I knew, would have knock his head and ask him to get one immediately. It’s a good lesson for all our Indians.

Can I know information about the accident, his injuries and current diagnosis, expected treatment costs and recuperation period?
I asked his fiancé to send the full medical report. Upon receive will scan and distribute a copy to all helped to get the fund. No problem, you can call me at any time at - 012-7162884 (Saras)

Being a teacher, is he covered with any type of insurance?
This is the info everybody telling me but that is not true. Those work as teacher need protection “get your own insurance”. It is a lesson to other teachers.

Hope to get more support for the balance needed and please pray for his fast recovery.

Y.A.B.Tan Sri,

Re: Father’s Day ISA wish.

Weekly courtesy Public Transport for ISA detainees families from
KL to Kemta, Taiping, Perak.

We refer to the above matter and your statement in Utusan Malaysia last week offering transport and travelling expenses to Kemta prison Kamunting and school children’s allowances.

May we propose that the Selangor state government provides a free courtesy bus service belonging to the Selangor State Government from K.L. to Kemta prison once every week until all ISA detainees are released. This bus service could take off from outside Malaysiakini office in Bangsar, KL at 7am on every Sunday and ISA detainee families to be dropped back at the same point on the return journey. The Y.A.B. Menteri Besar could officially flag of this bus service on a date to be fixed preferably on or in conjunction with Father’s Day shortly. The Gabungan Mansuhkan ISA could be the co-coordinator to inform and publicise this bus service to the ISA detainee families.

This would help further create public awareness to the atrocities of ISA detention without trial besides enhancing family support groups and fellowship among ISA detainee’s families. We would then be able to create a multi-racial ISA family. There would literally be an 8 hour weekly meeting of the ISA families in the bus itself “without the risk of being arrested for unlawful assembly”. Wives and children who have been cruelly separated from their fathers and husbands would be able to show their love, care and affection with courtesy of the Selangor State Government.

This bus service would go a long way in easing the burden of the already financially drained out ISA detainee’s families especially so in the light of the 41% increase in petrol prices announced by the ISA Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on 04/06/08.

Further this would also reduce the risk of a road traffic accident as what happened to the Kota Alam Shah State Assemblyman and ISA Detainee M.Manoharan’s wife and son who were injured in a road traffic accident last Sunday.

This proposal when approved would be the strongest ever Makkal Sakti “people power” support by the Selangor PKR, DAP and PAS State Government in putting to an end to the draconian ISA.

We seek your kind indulgence in this matter.

Thank you,

Yours faithfully,

On Father’s Day June 15, 2008, seventy (70) HINDRAF children below the age of 10 years will lead a procession to the Agong’s Palace to present him with seventy (70) teddy bears as a Father’s day gift. This symbolic act is to show that at least seventy (70) children have been denied the right to celebrate father’s day with their fathers who are held as detainees in Kamunting under the cruel and inhuman ISA.

On this day, the Agong shall play the role of the father for these children as all Malaysians are his loyal citizens irrespective of their color, race, religion or following.

We invite HINDRAF supporters to contact Mr. Sambu should you wish to include your child/children to join this historic and symbolic occasion.

The Commissioner of Law Revision of Malaysia, Late Hugh Hickling when he drafted the ISA in 1960, it was pre-ambled in the context of organized violence ie communist during the Malayan emergency and afterward. In his 86th birthday in Kuala Lumpur in 2006, he did voice his frustration that he did not expect the law to be used against political opponents or those dedicated to non-violent activities.

These of course was echoed earlier by true leaders and Malaysian such as Tunku Abdul Rahman who defined the purpose of the act as to “be used solely against the communists and the immense powers given to the government under the ISA would never be used to stifle legitimate opposition and silence lawful dissent”.

Tun Hussein Onn later stated during his time that his administration had enforced the act only with a view to curbing communist activity, and not to repress “lawful political opposition and democratic citizen activity”.

Today, the society is in doldrums as the present government uses it to their own purpose without regard to public opinion, freedom of speech and above all a blatant disregard to basic humanity aspects ie education, freedom of speech, religion within our multicultural society.

The Agong, in his prerogative power vested in the Constitution is the flag bearer of our Malaysian society who had been continuously failed over and over again by the unfair and unjust governance of the present government for the well being of the Malaysian society.

The Agong, I trust will not remain reticent on the misfortune of his subjects and look over the welfare of his humble subjects irrespective of their color, religion, race and following to create what Malaysia should actually be.

LONG LIVE THE AGONG. DAULAT TUANKU

There are a number of foreign doctors (mostly from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and India) (presumably Muslims) from unrecognised Universities who are working in rural areas and university hospitals with the blessings of the health ministry. They do not have to sit for examinations to be registered and are given annual practicing certificates for up to three years. This is unfair as Malaysian doctors from unrecognised Universities have to sit exams. Why not employ them instead? Foreign doctors are also given places in the Master’s courses in public universities such as University Malaya and University Kebangsaan Malaysia when our own doctors are not given such privileges.

These foreign doctors are then given registration and annual practicing certificates so that they can undergo these courses and perform surgeries and procedures on patients. Isn’t it ridiculous that our own doctors from the same unrecognised universities are not allowed to do so? These foreign doctors then do locum in private hospitals and clinics and are therefore practically earning a living and studying at the same time while local doctors have to sit exams, do houseman ship and then work for the government for three years in order to apply for masters course. Foreign students are readily accepted into the medical courses in public universities.

Why are they given preference when there is an acute shortage of doctors in this country? (Dr.TSK Kuala Lumpur)

ANSWER - Racism and religious extremism by UMNO. UMNO rather take in foreign doctors rather there being a shortage of doctors by 100% rather clinics not be manned by doctors, rather patients wait for hours before being treated THAN giving the opportunities to Malaysian Indian doctors from “unrecognised foreign universities”. UMNO rather see these Indian doctors unemployed to quench their racist and religious extremist thirst. UMNO does not care that these Indian doctors parents labour, sweat, pain, soil and toil and their hard earned money goes down the drain. Umno does not care that it was these innocent poor man’s children’s dream to become a doctor was probably no different from a dream to become a “criminal”. This is how vindictive UMNO’s Health Ministry Director General Datuk Dr Ismail Merican can get. Vote UMNO out with a fatal blow and once and for all at the 2012/13 general elections.

Patient overload at public hospitals where staff (and doctor) shortage is a perennial problem says Health Minister (NST 28/05/08 front page and pg 6). The doctor patient ratio in Malaysia is 1:1,200 whereas the ideal position is 1:600. Malaysia’s shortage of doctors by 100%. Further follow up treatment from GH to be referred to private clinics because of shortage of doctors at GH and the government will pay for the consultation and medication (Utusan Malaysia 28/05/08 pg 15). But Indian medical graduates rejected because they are from “recognised universities” deliberately not recognised by UMNO. Why can’t these Indian medical graduates be absorbed into especially the rural areas, extend their housemanship for six months (because they are from “unrecognised universities”) and allow them to practice medicine in Malaysia.

Why this outright racism and religious extremism by UMNO? Most of these unrecognised medical degrees are recognised by the British and US Medical Councils but not by the Malaysian Medical Council. UMNO and other UMNO extremists, racist Director General of the Health Ministry Datuk Dr Ismail Merican must be removed first for there to be a start to genuine racial harmony and racial integration. Launching National Unity colourful dances and drums, launched by UMNO’s DPM Najib last week is eyewash that is obsolete.

And then up to 20 per cent of foreign doctors recruited to work in the country are later kicked out. As Malaysian Medical Resources writes: “Health Ministry Parliamentary Secretary Lee Kah Choon disclosed that between 10 and 20 per cent foreign doctors and medical experts recruited by the Government to work in Malaysia had to be sent back as their service was not up to the standard required. Language, background and cultural differences were among the reasons why they had failed to perform their duties well. He said at present, most foreign doctors in Malaysia (eds. note: there are about 1000 of them) were from Indonesia, Bangladesh and Pakistan, and lately, the Government was eyeing to recruit more doctors from Myanmar. Lee said the Government spent about RM40 million annually to pay their salaries. The government is the single largest employer of doctors. About half the doctors in Malaysia are employed by the government and the other half work in the private sector.

UMNO is not dealing with the third and fourth generation Malaysian Indians who demand equal rights and equal opportunities which right is acceptable in any part of the world except in Malaysia. UMNO can fool all the Indians some of the time and some of the Indians all the time. But UMNO cannot fool all the Indians all the time especially the current third and fourth generation Malaysian Indians.

5 of us turned up at the Tanjong Tokong police station this afternoon to only be told that our remand has been extended till the 10th of June 08. Among those present was my self, Mr. Ong, Mr. Vimal, Ms. Lau Shu Shi, Mr Supramaniam and members of the press. It is very disappointing to hear of our remand. It shows how slow the police are in conducting their investigation. How much time more do they need to investigate 7 innocent activist which upholded their constitutional rights by protesting peacefully against the ISA and was later abused by the police. Are they delaying their investigation in order to scare us and slow down our upcoming protest so that we would divert our attention to our own case rather than the ISA. Till today we have not receive any apology from the Home Minister as called by the Penang State government to do so as it was a miss use of power by the Malaysian Police.

Protest in Gurney on ISA

I called upon the Malaysian Police to wrap up their investigation as fast as possible and drop all the charges that they have brought against us. Stop wasting our time, and start to work on many other important issues which effect the Public. Example, the robbery which took place in Komtar a few days ago. Komtar is located only 5min away from both the District Police HQ and State Police HQ. What a shame it is to the Police force for such incidents to happen. Don`t we have any safe place in Penang Anymore ?… and yet they can waste their time disturbing and arresting peaceful protesters as if there is no other cases for them to deal with.

Arrest of 7 is unlawfull

The arrest of the 7 is a challenge to Malaysians and the constitutional law. Can the the Police Act over write the Constitutional Law? Does the Federal Government respects the constitutional law and the rights of it`s Rakyat? If no, than the Federal Government and the Police must be brought to trial for violating the Federal constitutional law and sentenced to jail. The Rakyat is being misleaded by the continuous arrest of many many protesters during their peaceful gatherings. This Violation needs to be put to an end. How much longer does Malaysians need to suffer for standing up and voicing their views. The rakyat`s money is being wasted by the police on the operational cost to disperse the rallies by usage of the tear gas, petrol, chemical water, documents, and video shooting. The police needs to learn from the well develop countries and protect the rights of the citizen and not be a tool of any political party.

NO ISA

It is clear that the people are unhappy with the Internal Security Act. So just abolish it and listen to the cries of the people or be prepared to face many many more peaceful protest by the public. We can`t just sit down and see our brothers suffer in the Kamunting detention center. The detainees are being abused politically, and we would not shut up! Release all the ISA detainees immediately and close down the Kamunting detention camp which symbolize injustice and evilness in Malaysia.
