Arrests are attack on Freedom of Expression Bersih 2.0 condemns the arrests of Khairul Anuar and seven others detained in Kluang, Johore. Khairul Anuar was arrested at Uptown Shah Alam, where a Bersih 2.0 road show
was planned at 10.00 p.m. today (24 June2011).
The purpose is to raise awareness on the
eight electoral demands of Bersih 2.0.
However, the organisers could not proceed with the road show due to heavy presence of the police, whom have cordoned off the whole area surrounding Uptown, disallowing any organisers and participants from accessing the facilities.
In Johore, seven other activists from Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) were arrested for leafleting Bersih 2.0 materials in Kluang. The OCPD alleged that the materials may be seditious.

Why did the 3 accused plus Shafee, their Counsel,
meet the Magee-strate in Chambers first?
Why did the Magee-strate allow Shafee to declare expert opinion
that the man in the video was 99.9% Anwar?
What was the relevance of that statement to the guilty plea?
Was that considered a mitigating factor or what?
I must have failed my Criminal Procedure paper.

"The Election Commission (EC) has admitted a major error
by allowing six individuals to be wrongfully registered with
the address of the house belonging to Gombak MP Azmin Ali's mother,
but appears to have little power to rectify the problem......
“In other words, the EC will accept any address
specified to us in the application form (or Borang A),”

Point to ponder:-
So that means I can use any address
& don't have to follow my IC?
Either that- or his name was a typo,
& should've been Kamaruddin Mohamed BARUA!!
