Partisan Message


Last Saturday, Thousands of Anti-ISA protesters marched into KL. Stopping the city in its track. The message was clear, to uphold freedom, liberty and basic human rights. To be able to speak when it matters regardless of belief, creed and racial composition.

The objective was to hand over a memorandum to the king. But they were not successful, as police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowd. So no one could reach the palace gate let alone to pass a memorandum of the rakyat to the king.

Amidst all the chaos, one lone pro-ISA man successfully walked alone towards the palace. He carried with him a memorandum supporting ISA and he wanted the government to keep the law. He wore a T Shirt with a message to keep ISA to protect the rights of a particular race in Malaysia.



Something is very wrong when a group wanted ISA to protect the rights of only a particular community. The Anti-ISA group wanted to uphold liberty for all Malaysians, while this man and whoever he was representing wanted to save only his own race.
