who’s in charge here? – Khalid said what????

Most of u must be thinking this is another delCapo’s  whacking of the CPO Khalid…. well… it’s THE OTHER Khalid….

Just read this on Malaysiakini & could NOT believe my eyes…

First the “townhall & 15 minutes” for vigil crap…. now this piece of shit statement.

May delCapo ask you, Tan Sri Khalid, MB of Selangor-

• Didn’t you endorse the JERIT campaign & was part of the launch?
• Didn’t you appear so happy for the photo when they handed the memo to you at the 2nd last day of the campaign??
• Did you, when you spoke to Tuanku, try to explain what JERIT was about? How the kids are 17-18 yr olds (not 7-8 yr olds) with parents’ consent & well taken care of by JERIT’s responsible adult care takers?
• Did you not hear how these kids learn so much more about the country during their journey?? read this… These ARE the future leaders!!!
• READ IT AGAIN! noticed the kid’s impression about our police’s behaviour?

delCapo just dun get it…. are you trying (and failing) to be Mr Nice Guy? .. or just don’t get it that u r now leader of a state & not opposition??.. or just don’t get what is Freedom, Civil Rights, Suara Rakyat?…. or just keeping the other Khalid happy so you can keep getting police escort & not traffic fines???

No wonder that Chief Liar CPO is getting more & more blatant….he’s got a toothless MB fanning his fire….. When are u gonna grow some balls, Tan Sri??

You know what? If this is all you have to say & all you can do for the civil society activities…. don’t say anything & don’t do anything.

KT by-elections – the spinning begins…

PAS & Hudud laws.. shooting themselves in the foot, or just being consistent & honest?

DAP & PKR slight panicky reactions.. relax lah… u guys got more going for u than u think =]

I think RPK said it best…. do your maths, PAS CANNOT form the federal government alone…. therefore, their consistent ideology of an Islamic state & hudud laws cannot be realised. DON”T PANIC!!

UMNO’s statements… KJ’s trap, Najib’s predictable PAS-whacking (hey, Jibby, at tleast they are consistent, unlike u… so NO, it’s not just for the elections) , MCA’s warning  to KT’s Chinese on how much they gotta lose if BN loses (bloody ironic, no?  A threat to warn about other’s trap…hahahahaha)

Main stream media having a field day helping UMNO…. one example

If i live in KT,  i’ll be busy stocking up on food/drinks/ciggerettes, mobile top-ups etc & ready to do business…. it shall be a windfall January as the circus comes to town…. Not to mention BN’s generous handouts…. time to make some money!!

What’s new? it’s just by-election fever….

delCapo hopes for peace & hope the religious & racial cards dun get outta hand…..

otherwise… game on!! spin spin spin… spin the black circle….

HIDUP RAKYAT!!! PEOPLE’s POWER!!!

HIDUP JERIT!!! You did it!!!!!!!!!

“RIDE FOR CHANGE”

THEY DID IT!!! That’s the simple reaction delCapo & all the supporters, i’m sure, felt today.

Congratulations to JERIT on reaching your goals with “Ride for Change”, overcoming all that “they” threw at you…. completing the journey from Kedah & Johor…. creating awareness for change along the way… gaining support from MBs of the various states…. & ultimately submitting the Memo at parliamant (nevemind if PM AABzzz never bothered to show his face to greet u guys)

Maybe you should also thank the police for the free publicity & motivation =]

The organisers, coordinators, volunteers… the fearless participants, the parents who stood by their kids and all the supporters who showed up during the journey & at parliament this morning. delCapo *SALUTE* you!!!

This is the true spirit of PEOPLE’S POWER!!!!

Hope to see some of you at this Sunday’s PJ Candle Light Vigil… come share with all your great achivement & experience…

!!! HIDUP RAKYAT!!!!!!

Obituary – Syukree Hussain

A late nite sms from Rakyat@Work brought sad news.

pix by delCapo & from fellow bloggers

delCapo remembers first noticing Syukree at a DAP organised forum on the DNA Bill in November at the Chinese Assembly Hall. Subsequent meetings at various vigils and civil society events include the weekly PJ Candle Vigil….. I remember Syukree was one of those who stayed til early hour of the morning outside the PJ Police Station when 23 of our friends were detained during the infamous “9-11″ vigil session… he was still there when delCapo left at 3am….

Though never really formally acquainted…. and I must admit i’ve been guilty of not making a point to introduce myself & get to know this tireless comrade (minta maaf, brother) … it is obvious that Syukree was a well respected activist and journalist during his time. Tributes can be found here, here, here & here.

Syukree has left behind some great work & words – his video, his pix, his blog.

We have lost a comrade and a good anak bangsa Malaysia tonight. May his soul rest in peace.

one nite in Rawang – !!!people’s power!!!

When kids & people’s elected representatives are detained unfairly & harassed & abused…. especially while carrying out good causes…. we stand up & we fight for them.

500 strong turned up, unplanned, on this nite to a common objective -

• for the release of the JERIT kids, JERIT organisers, YB Jeyakumar & ADUN Gan Pei Nei!!
• for the PDRM to stop the lies & harrassment.

Anak Anak Bangsa Malaysia…. this is NOT politics… this is about Freedom & Human Rights.

This is what we call PEOPLE’S POWER, MAKKAL SAKTHI!!!

!! HIDUP RAKYAT !!

Malaysiakini – CPO Khalid “We acted to save under-aged cyclists”

So JERIT has been exploiting the young riders, uh?… their parents & they themselves have no clue what they have been doing…. The police have saved the kids!!!!!

Well… according to the CPO Khalid Abu Bakar anyway.

Well well ….. the operations did require CPO Khalid’s personal touch to be in Rawang last nite … must be a big case, uh?

Well well well…. wonder what the public, the JERIT members, the kids’ parents are complaining about…. such ungrateful people, uh CPO???

Maybe it’s because you have a track record of blatant lies after blatant lies??  Remember your failed performances in the past??…. reminders here, here, here, here, here

Maybe it’s because you still treat the rakyat like idiots whom u can spin a story to, after u have carried out the inhumane orders of your masters???

The people’s got news for you, CPO Khalid…. WE DON”T BUY YOUR SHIT!!!! STOP LYING!!! STOP THE ABUSES AND HARRASSMENTS!!!

Who’s in charge here?? Please get rid of this liar as soon as possible…

Full text from Malaysiakini below + JERIT’s statement of reply…. you judge for yourselves, people…

PJ Candle Vigil 9.5 – this one is for JERIT… & SBotting

support JERIT

The PJ Candle Vigil enters it’s 10th consecutive Sunday.

The crowd has grown! We are over 200 strong again!! With many more new comers & speakers…. it’s open mic sunday these days. Well Done!!!

delCapo would like to dedicate this week’s PJ Candle Vigil to the brave anak bangsa Malaysia from JERIT’s “ride for Change” Campaign…. overcoming the journey, the weather, the constant police harrassments!!

Currently riding into Selangor & targetting to hand over a memo to the PM on Thursday at parliament. Thursday, 18 dec 08 is also the last day of parliament seating for 2008.

JERIT riders, delCapo *salutes* you!! Come join us next week & tell us your stories….

Not to steal too much of JERIT’s thunder, special mention also goes to the Special Branch officers who showed up…. delCapo counted 6 … 1 videographer, 2 with cameras, 1 taking notes, 1 friendly chap going around talking to people, making friends & asking for their names & namecards…

delCapo had the “pleasure” of sharing one of my cancer stick with him…. he asked for my name, number, address, blog etc etc… but offered none in return (his assistant even took photos of me)… Hey brother SB… delCapo believes in 2-way traffic, give & take, ok??… that’s why you got nothing except for a free ciggie & a photo of my ugly face =] Anyway… at least you guys were friendly… next time i give u brotherly hug…. no charge =]

We welcome ALL anak bangsa Malaysia at PJ Candle Vigil… including SBs.

Abang abang, while u are on duty watching us, delCapo hopes some of the message of Suara Rakyat, Freedom, Peace & Anak Bangsa Malaysia get through to you guys….  Maybe you will bring some more friends & family to join us next week??

More coverage of last nite at STEETS,who tributes the newbies… check out the shanghaiFish,  whisperer, sanjiun & kkitsam too

Thank you all the speakers & the commentators in the audience….. & there were a few interesting ones =]

here are the pix.. most with some sort of red in it (for JERIT)…. spot the SBs… i call this new activity – SBotting =]

article on RSF – calls for the release of Malaysian human rights lawyer P. Uthayakumar

received this via an email…..

Reporters without Borders (RSF), based out of France, champions Press Freedom, defends, fights & works for journalists’ rights around the world (including Bloggers). Malaysia, a country up to recently, has been mostly out of their radar compared to Cambodia, Myanmar etc… has now been increasing covered by RSF. Their on going coverage of RPK’s cases are very commendable.

Why only Uthayakumar & not the Hindraf 5 or the rest of the ISA detainees? you may ask….. delCapo can only guess that RSF’s scope includes only journalists (including bloggers & publishers), and they are able to find an angle on Uthayakumar’s article which is part of the reason he has been detained.

The article in Full.

Call for release of Hindu minority lawyer arrested a year ago under security law

Uthayakumar, who has been held since 13 December 2007 at Kamunting prison (northeast of Kuala Lumpur) under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for posting a letter he wrote to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on his website (http:// http://www.policewatchmalaysia.com).
