Datin Seri Wan Azizah and others summoned by polis

BREAKING NEWS as reported here:

UPDATE 3.30 pm: Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim is apparently away in Abu Dhabi. He left early this morning. He has said that he will look into this harassment by the police when he is back.

Police this morning visited the homes of Datin Seri Wan Azizah, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, YB Azmin Ali and Yahya Saari over Black 14 gathering in Kampung Baru last night.

Notice was served them to be present at the Dang Wangi police station at 3.00 p.m. today to have their statements recorded.

If only the police were just as efficient in combating run-away crimes throughout the country. Also, they should not reduce themselves to be taking instructions but do their job without fear or favour.

Hidup PKR! Hidup Pakatan Rakyat!

Kemaskini 3:30pm: DSAI dikhabarkan berada di Abu Dhabi. Beliau berlepas awal pagi tadi dan menyatakan akan melihat tindakan gangguan pihak polis ini apabila pulang.

Pagi tadi, pihak polis telah pergi ke rumah Datin Seri Wan Azizah, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, YB Azmin Ali and Yahya Saari kerana perhimpunan 'Black 14' di Kampung Baru semalam.

Notis telah diserahkan supaya meraka hadir di Balai Polis Dang Wangi pada pukul 3:00 p.m. hari ini untuk memberi keterangan.

Kalaulah pihak polis begitu efisyen dalam menangani kadar jenayah yang tinggi di seluruh negara. Mereka juga sepatutnya tidak cuma mengambil arahan dari 'pihak atasan' tetapi bekerja secara bebas tanpa rasa takut kepada sesiapa pun.

Hidup PKR! Hidup Pakatan Rakyat!

黄朱强部落格：拿汀旺阿兹莎一行人被警方传召问话

3.30 pm 更新: 拿督斯里安华·依布拉欣看来已经启程前往阿布达比，他是与今天临晨离开的。他在出发前说明，会在结束旅程回国后才处理这项警方的干扰事件。

警方在今早分别拜访了拿汀旺阿兹莎、卡立·依布拉欣、阿兹敏还有雅哈亚·沙里，以调查昨晚在甘榜峇鲁召开的“黑色14”大聚会。

金马区（Dang Wangi）警局已经发出通知，要求他们在今天下午3点前来警局录取口供。

如果警方对追捕国内的逃犯是如此不遗余力的话，他们也不应该贬低自己，只听从上头的命令而不愿坚守好自己的岗位了。

人民公正党万岁！人民联盟万岁！

20,000 came to celebrate with Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim and hear him speak

UPDATE 15 April, 10.40 am: More pictures. Courtesy of TV Smith.

I was at the celebration at Kelab Sultan Sulaiman, Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur which was held this evening to mark the expiry of Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim's ban from public office, 10 years after he was sacked as Deputy Prime Minister.

Congratulations and best wishes Dato' Seri.

The crowd comprising of all groups of Malaysians was huge and eager. I get this feeling that they want to hear what their prime-minister-in-waiting has to say. My estimation of the crowd was that it was about 20,000 strong.

I don't think the main-stream media will report about this event in a major way. Even if they do, they will probably claim the crowd was about 200 or 2,000 (they somehow have this dirty habit of dropping or 'swallowing' their zeros ... I wonder why.)

Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the de facto leader of Parti Keadilan Rakyat, spoke to the guests for more than an hour but what was most memorable was his affirmation that Pakatan Rakyat (a coalition of PKR, DAP and PAS) stands firmly in its belief for Ketuanan Rakyat.

He reiterated that there are poor and marginalised Malays as well as Chinese, Indians and others from the ethnic groups in Sabah and Sarawak. The welfare of the rakyat is paramount and Pakatan Rakyat will never forget this point. Pakatan Rakyat will serve the interests of the Malays as well as all other Malaysians. Race-based politics, he alluded, is also dead and gone.

I came away from the celebration with a happy feeling and is assured that Malaysia has a bright future. I am sure the rest of the crowd felt the same way.

I was also told that tonight's celebration also coincided with Raja Petra Kamarudin's 35th wedding anniversary celebration. My congratulations and best wishes also go to Raja Petra and his beloved wife. (Raja Petra Kamarudin is the founder of Malaysia Today blog.)

DBKL, stop harassing hawkers, petty traders, DBKL tenants and others!

JOINT PRESS RELEASE OF THE 10 OPPOSITION MPs IN KUALA LUMPUR

The 10 opposition Members of Parliament (namely Bandar Tun Razak, Batu, Cheras, Wangsa Maju, Kepong, Titiwangsa, Lembah Pantai, Bukit Bintang, Segambut and Seputeh) met last night (25-03-08) at Federal Hotel. The following resolutions were unanimously resolved:

We, the 10 opposition Members of Parliament in Kuala Lumpur, note that two months prior to the 12^th General Elections (GE) DBKL was very relax in taking actions against the hawkers, petty traders, DBKL tenants and others.

We also note that immediately after the completion of the 12^th GE, resulting in the clear rejection of BN by the KL residents, DBKL swung into actions to victimize and/or punish the hawkers, petty traders and threaten to victimize and/or punish the DBKL tenants in the opposition held constituencies, for the miserable performance of BN in the GE.

We strongly condemn DBKL for involving itself in politics and taking such concerted actions to victimize and/or punish the hawkers, petty traders and DBKL tenants for exercising their democratic rights in the 12^th GE to elect the 10 opposition MPs from PKR, DAP and PAS in Kuala Lumpur.

We call upon the Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur to immediately stop the political actions in victimizing and/or punishing the hawkers, petty traders and DBKL tenants for exercising their democratic to elect the MPs of their choice.

Kenyataan Akhbar Bersama oleh 10 Ahli Parlimen Pembangkang di Kuala Lumpur:

10 Ahli Parlimen pembangkang telah bertemu di Hotel Federal semalam. Resolusi di bawah telah dipersetujui sebulat suara.

1. Dari permerhatian kita iaitu 10 Ahli Parlimen pembangkang di Kuala Lumpur, didapati bahawa 2 bulan sebelum PRU 12, DBKL amat bertolak-ansur/prihatin semasa mengambil tindakan terhadap penjaja, peniaga kecil, penyewa tapak DBKL dan sebagainya.

2.Kita mendapat sebaik sahaja selepas PRU 12 yang menunjukkan penolakan yang terang-terangan oleh warga KL terhadap BN dimana BN menunjukkan prestasi yang amat teruk, DBKL terus 'turun padang' untuk menganiaya/menghukum penjaja, peniaga kecil dan juga mengugut untuk menghukum penyewa tapak DBKL di kawasan Parlimen yang dimenangi pihak pembangkang.

3.Kita mengutuk sekeras-kerasnya tindakan DBKL yang melibatkan diri dalam politik secara terancang untuk menganiaya/menghukum penjaja, peniaga kecil dan penyewa tapak DBKL yang cuma menggunakan hak demokratik mereka dalam PRU 12 untik memilih 10 Ahli Parlimen pembangkang.

4.Kita menyeru Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur supaya menghentikan tindakan yang bermotifkan politik ini serta-merta dan tidak lagi menganiaya/menghukum penjaja, peniaga kecil dan penyewa tapak DBKL. Pemilihan Ahli Perlimen adalah hak demokratik mereka.

請吉隆坡市議會停止騷擾流動小販﹐攤販﹐租戶和其他人﹗

吉隆坡十位反對黨議員聯合新聞稿﹕

我們十名國會反對黨議員(來自 BANDAR TUN RAZAK﹐ BATU﹐ 蕉賴﹐旺沙馬珠﹐KEPONG﹐帝帝旺沙﹐ LEMBAH PANTAI﹐ 武及免登﹐適耕莊﹐士布爹選區)在昨夜(25/MARCH/2008)於聯邦酒店會面並一致通過以下決議﹕

我們﹐十名國會反對黨議員察覺到第十二屆全國大選開始的兩個月前﹐吉隆坡市議會似乎不常對流動小販等小生意人士進行取締行動。


我們發現當大選落幕時﹐當國陣被吉隆坡人民唾棄後﹐市議會因為國陣是次慘不忍睹的大選成勣馬上對小販採取行動兼威脅要對付座落在反對黨中選選區的本身租戶。

我們強烈譴責吉隆坡市議會干涉政治和用迫害和報復的方式來打擊人民履行民主政治的權力﹐尤其是在第十二屆大選時﹐投選出10名來自公正黨﹐行動黨和回教黨的反對黨議員﹐

我們呼籲吉隆坡市長即刻停止有關對小販和租戶等如同政治迫害的行為。
