Dear IGP
On Sunday, Dec 28, some 1,500 people, including 400 children and teenagers, came out to defend Malay rights and the use of ISA in Penang. A similar gathering had apparently taken place in the federal capital a few weeks ago, but was never reported in the media.
The demonstration was being observed by 50 policemen in uniform and plainclothes. It is interesting that, despite the tone of the protest, no arrest was made, and certainly no one, including its outspoken organiser, was detained.
We are reminded of the peaceful Ride for Change. The police rounded up the young cyclists in Rawang, arrested a Member of Parliament and charged the organisers.
Why is there a double standard in the way the police handle two different situations?
In one instance accusing the organisers of using children and in this incident in Penang, involving 400 children and teenagers, the demonstration was allowed to proceed without any incident.
If you, Sir, can allow more such demonstrations to be organised by political bullies in the name of defending their own race, this country will continue to see greater racial polarisation. And, in your own words, the crime rate has increased because of such political rallies as witnessed on Sunday.

You cannot blame the police as they are under instructions,like a dog.A guard dog will bite anyone when asked to so by the master.
