Malaysia is telling the whole World that we are going to be a developed nation by the year 2020. Inreality we don't even have a 5050 chance of being a developed nation when the rectum of a citizen (i.e Saifool Bukhari can be considered as a crime scene) and in the case of Mat Sabu, being charged with criminal defamation for challenging the official account of the 1950 Bukit Kepong incident at a ceramah in Tasek Gelugor on Aug 21.
Are we supposed to accept whatever is said by the lying, deceiving, diabolical and manipulative BN/Umno Regime as Gospel Truth?

PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu was this morning charged with criminal defamation in a Butterworth Sessions Court for challenging the official account of the 1950 Bukit Kepong incident at a ceramah in Tasek Gelugor on Aug 21.
Mohamad, better known as Mat Sabu, was charged under Section 500 of the Penal Code for defaming the dead police personnel who were killed while defending themselves at the Bukit Kepong police station and their families (principal charge), and the aggrieved parties (alternative charge) who lodged police reports against him.
Judge Ikmal Hishan Mohd Tajuddin fixed Oct 27 for mention of the case and Dec 5-9 for trial.
Bail was set at RM15,000.
Mohammad Hanafiah Zakaria, Ishak Mohd Yusoff and Suhaimi Ibrahim are prosecuting, while Hanipa is Maidin is appearing for Mat Sabu.
Mohammad Hanafiah had initially asked for bail to be fixed at RM50,000 but Hanipa requested the minimum sum of RM15,000, saying he was confident his client would be present in court whenever required.
Asked to comment, Mat Sabu said: "This case is about the interpretation of history and should be resolved through dialogue and debate, not by the court.
"However, since it is a court case, we have to face it."
'Government losing ground among youth'
Mat Sabu said the government was losing ground among the youth and had to deal with him by using physical force and legal means.
On Aug 27, Umno-owned daily Utusan Malaysia published several reports that Mat Sabu had praised the communists who attacked the Bukit Kepong police station in 1950, leaving 26 people dead.
"But history has been covered up. Jins Samsuddin, who made the (Bukit Kepong) film, is an Umno (member). His story of Bukit Kepong (said that) those who attacked the police station were criminals..." Mat Sabu was quoted as saying.
The reports further alleged that the PAS deputy president had treated Mat Indera as a freedom fighter.
Mat Sabu has since claimed that Utusan had grossly distorted his words and has filed a defamation suit against Utusan Malaysia.
His speech also sparked debate between BN and the opposition on the country's independence history and whether Malaya was ever colonised.
