Anwar Regrets Detention Of Kapar MP

(Bernama) -- Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim regrets the detention of Kapar member of parliament (MP) S.Manikavasagam and 17 supporters of Internal Security Act (ISA) detainee P.Uthayakumar at an illegal rally at Brickfields police headquarters today.He said police should not have prevented the supporters from handing a report that diabetic Uthayakumar was not given proper treatment.

"I protest. People who lodged police reports against Karpal Singh escape while those who defended their friends at Kamunting are detained.

"I've seen Umno's demonstration in Penang. They controlled the entire area but nobody was even questioned," he said at a "peoples' aspiration address" here today.

Anwar also claimed that the toll rates would be increased after the by-elections at Bukit Gantang (Perak), Bukit Selambau (Kedah) and Batang Ai (Sarawak).

The Cabinet has decided to postpone indefinitely the toll increase for five expressways that was supposed to take effect on Sunday.

Malaysian police are not representing the rakyat but UMNO! So barbaric - for what reason to treat peaceful demonstrators and who are fighting for human rights of the very ill Uthaya and the other unjustly ISA detained activists? How come UMNO Youth thugs who were beating like gangsters, Mr Karpal Singh , who is even disabled, are not water-canoned and immediately arrested by the police? Are the police going to arrest those gangsters? Are these gangsters all Malaysian citizens, or there are foreign agents there who might be Islamist fanatics or even potential terrorists, trying to stir up racial-religious hatred towards non-Malays/non-Muslims in Malaysia – these agents are what I suspect as the opportunistic joint alliance of Al-Qaeda/Afghan-Taleban/Pakistan-Taleban/Iran theocratic Mullahs' regimes to construct their dream of a fanatical "Islamist Empire" Arabia style in their South-East Asia base! PKR leaders, please take action!
