Inspector-general of police Ismail Omar needs to answer this simple question: Why is it that Perkasa, Umno Youth or any BN component party never has any trouble getting police permits (if they even bother to at all) to organise protests - including those verging on riots like the so-called 'cow's head' mob in Shah Alam - and never have any trouble with the police, while Pakatan Rakyat and independent civil society protestors are consistently harassed, arrested and even assaulted with tear gas, chemical-laced water and batons?
Even people standing around in candlelight vigils are roughed up by the police. The police are blatantly biased, and they openly flaunt their bias because they are not accountable to anyone. The consistently thuggish conduct of the police means they are the biggest threat to this country, not civil protestors.
The police should keep in mind the examples set in North Africa and the Middle East. Crimes against the people will not be forgotten.
So who sets the better example? The Egyptian army or would it be Muammar Gaddafi? Whose standards do our cops want to follow? Egypt's army or Gaddafi's army? Whose side is Umno going to take? We shall know soon.
Will Umno's Malaysia recognise the new governments of Tunisia and Egypt because they too are a result of illegal assemblies that did not have police permits?
"Malaysia is the most racist country in the world. Apartheid has already ended in South Africa but we still have it in Malaysia. We're not asking for special rights but we just want equal opportunity."
If you can find another country where only the majority race gets 7 percent discount on houses, where nearly all government land schemes like Felda are almost exclusively for the majority race, where tertiary and training institutions select students of the majority race even when their academic results are poor and reject the applications of the much better students of the minority groups, where recruitment to the public service is based mainly on race and not merit, where the majority race can make huge tax deductions for zakat contributions (money used for their own community) but the minority groups are not given such a privilege.
