May 13 rally: 'Cops take Malaysians for fools'

'If this was a peaceful Hindraf gathering, he would have issued a million statements and warnings, and Terengganu would have been filled with FRU trucks by now.'

Justgreat: Inspector-general of police Musa Hassan said, "I don't know about that (Gertak's planned May 13 rally), you have to ask Terengganu (police)."

Don't take all of us for fools, IGP. All application for permits for such gatherings go through the federal police headquarters, and you would definitely have been notified, especially something this big and significant.

Christ: I have two issues here: this rally is organised for the sole purpose of warning the other races, and is definitely not aimed at motivating one particular race. Perhaps you can lie to primary school kids. Just imagine if the other races were to organise a similar rally and say the same things. What would be the reaction?

Hindraf had a similar rally, but their war cry was against the government. They didn't warn or threaten the other races. That is the difference, and it's a huge difference between the two.

As for the police chief to say he has to ask his subordinates to know what is going on is to imply that he either doesn't want to know, or his subordinates do not respect and report to him.

Beetle: The IGP is sleeping on his job. Doesn't this kind of gathering need a police permit? Oh, I forgot. There are two sets of the law - one for the ruling (semua boleh) and the other for the opposition (semua tidak boleh).

This racist event has been splashed across all the newspapers and this incompetent IGP says he has no knowledge about the event.

Aisyalam: What does he mean by "I don't know"? Rubbish! If this was a peaceful Hindraf gathering, he would have issued a million statements and warnings, and Terengganu would have been filled with FRU trucks by now.

Why the double standards?
Controversial May 13 rally postponed

Singgam: The cancellation was appropriate. Let May 13 be a day for truth and reconciliation among all races, a day for harmony and unity instead of a day for sowing hatred. An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Lucia: If it is to motivate the Malays, why do it on May 13? Why commemorate a May 13 anniversary with a 'Malays unite' gathering? One can commemorate May 13 in other ways, where everybody gets to join, like that one in Penang called a 'peace and harmony' gathering that was open to all races.

I can't imagine if the Chinese or Indians were to organise a rally to motivate the Chinese/Indians to unite. For sure, the police and Home Ministry would say no. But for the Umno-sanctioned Malay groups, it is okay.

RoseAmongstWiltingThorns: I hope the Terengganu Integrity Institute and Gertak don't get sued for non-payment of banners and buntings ordered from their suppliers by cancelling this event at 11th hour.
