WILL THEY SILENCE US?


Details are sketchy. I met Sheih on the day Jeff Ooi and Rocky was summoned to Denmark House over a defamation suit brought against them by NST.
Since then we have forged a close friendship despite his having to relocate to Kota Bahru to be an aide to YB Datuk Husam Musa.
Bloggers and those who visit/comment on blogs have come to acknowledge
Shieh's dedication to justice and fairplay.
In solidarity with Shieh's wife Bariah and kids lets keep him and them in our thoughts and in our prayers.





Sheih developed this icon in solidarity with Jeff and Rocky and this has appeared in the sidebar of most bloggers.

NST online has this:


KOTA BAHARU, WED:

THIRTY-EIGHT-year-old blogger,Syed Azidi Syed Aziz a.k.a Kickdefella, was arrested by police in Kota Baru at 5pm today for inciting the public to fly the Malaysia flag upside down.

The man or better known as Sheikh Kickdefella, was detained by a police team from Bukit Aman at his house in Kampung Demit near Kubang Kerian.

The man, who is an officer with the state-owned Perbadanan Menteri Besar Kelantan, was at home with his family when he was detained. It is believed he was detained under Sedition Act.

His wife Bariah Ishak, 38, said three policemen came to their house and arrested her husband. She said her husband was then brought to Kuala Lumpur.

The family is considering to hire a lawyer soon.

I am scared, when are they coming for us?

I am leaving this country for good!

But am I good enough for UMNO to arrest me?

I wish I am good enough but I scare I am good enough too!

I am typing as i watch the prime time news.

Paklah is calling Anwar a threat to national security.
That he will do what ever is necessary to protect the country and the rakyat.

This tone scares me. It sounds like a pre justification of using the ISA.

It's been in the Singaporean news since noon that Mahathir will back in UMNO before nightfall (wed). Noticed that none of the Malaysian portals have reported it. What's going on?

I have confirmed info from sources that there are plans to detain Anwar between tonight and Saturday.

Zorro, please get this information out to all our blogger comrades and most importantly Datuk Seri.

Zorro,
When he flew the flagupside down it was a sign of the country in distress but people choose to interpret it their silly way and arrest him by the way they interpret things. Hopefully he will be charged in court and not held under ISA. Let us pray that the judge will be wise enough to read the upside down flag as a distress signal and not a show of disrespect.

Trashed said...

Is there a specific provision in Malaysian law that says flying the flag upside down is unlawful ?

Just wondering if he had incited resistance to or create insurrection against the authorities, as well.

Situation in Malaysia is the mirror of currents economic events in USA. From Bear Stern to Freddie Mac to Lehman Brothers & Merrill Lynch. Now the Insurance giant, AIG. Locally, we have sodomy. The immigrant insinuating remarks. The tearing up of Dr Koh's framed photo. ISA arrets of RPK Teresa KOK and the Sin Chew reporter. The botak insulting response. The arrest of the 2nd blogger under the Sedition Act. And the clear remark form the PM on Anwar being a threat. One for one, the examples get from bad to worse. And from that point from worse to worst. This must be the year of bad feng shui for USA and Malaysia. But the former is too big to fall. Malaysia pales by comparison. Could Bank Negara come up with a US$85billion package to rescue this country from going to the dogs? Especially when we have the likes of Botak and Ahmad Ismail around? And this PM to boot?

Still the wounded beast grounded and in harrowing death throes, defies gravity, lifts its sore limb and with its crooked paw, strikes its last blow....RPK,PKR, Tan, Kok, Kick...de...fell...bleep-bleep-bleep...all has become gray, blurry, whimpering electrostatics on the screen of its reptilian brain...

You couldn't say it didn't put up a fight. In vain though it at all was.

No stopping an idea whose time has come.

Kawan-kawan,
Apabila ISA dan/atau darurat digunakan, ini menandakan pemerintah berharap agar rakyat akan keTAKUTan.
Jangan takut, mari kita berHARTAL menentang ISA!!!

Unc. Zorro,
How can we be of assistance to Sheikh & his family?
I hope the powers that be charge him and let him have his day in court.
And Unc Zorro, I ask that you take precautions lest that the trigger-happy have you arrested as well.
Take care.

Justice and fairplay, I don't think so. He’s a bigot, read between the lines when he writes.

Anyway, i don't support ISA not even 0.1% even for hardcore criminals or terrorist.
