Police acting against the Constitution and Public Interest to retain UMNO in power

Senator S.Ramakrishnan,

The berserk reaction of arresting, handcuffing anyone wearing yellow T-shirt or shirt is act of disrespectful to our royalty. Yellow is a royal color therefore it is an insult and disgrace to the king. They should remove the term 'Di Raja' from PDRM and replace with ‘Di Umno’. The desperate actions of police to please their UMNO bosses are against the rule of law and not supported by the constitution. Even Suhakam had argued that the Police Act 1967 is in contradiction to the rights enshrined under the federal constitution and international human rights declaration but the police couldn’t be bothered. Police are acting like thugs and criminals working for UMNO and not behaving like a law enforcement agency to protect law and order.

The statement of IGP that T-shirts with messages in support of Bersih have been outlawed because they were related to an illegal assembly is degrading and unbecoming for a senior law enforcer. Bersih Organisers have applied to police for approval and Bersih’s intention is legal and is in public interest and within constitution. Just because the police want to bend backward to please UMNO and it refuge to issue permit and the peaceful rally becomes illegal. The UMNO government is forcing all media and law enforcement agencies to break the law just to protect them. What is legal or illegal is now decided by police and not the constitution. Malaysia has become a police state, no doubt about that.

UMNO mouth piece and racist Ibrahim Ali can warn the Chinese community to stock up their provisions for a possible riot. That is not instigation and mischievous intent but wearing yellow T-shirt is against the section 27 of police act 1967. Bersih organizers are intimidated and threatened with draconian laws but police cannot find any offence and national threat with the real trouble makers PERKASA and UMNO youth. Police have lost respect, thrust and moral authority to enforce law and order. They are protecting UMNO to retain power at any cost and not the people who pay police their salary.

UMNO rules with divide and rule policy. Therefore it cannot effort the civil society and multi racial and multi religious Malaysians coming together. These are against UMNO’s interest. Therefore they use police when it means breaking the law to protect them. It is unfortunate that the police officers have allowed UMNO to be used to stay in power. UMNO do not want electoral reform but to keep things as they are. Election commission too have allowed themselves to be ordered at the whims and fancy of UMNO.

while in Malaysia, concerned citizens, NGOs and political parties clamour for free and fair election, election commission is sents its officers as observers to election in Thailand. 3.9 million eligible voters in Malaysia are not registered as voters. Malaysian election commission must clean their own backyard for advising others how run a fair and free Malaysian.
