The gutsy lady is going to take on the rabid extremist, race baiting Utusan, the government, the first generation Indon Malaysian and the Royal Malaysan Police. Parliamentarian Teresa Kok, who was
released today after being held for seven days under the Internal Security Act, will sue the government for her ‘unlawful arrest and detention’. From Malaysiakini.
The false accusations against her were that she had mobilised the Bandara Kinrara residents to put up a petition over the azan (morning call to prayer). That she had said that the allocation for Islamic religious council Jais should be used for other religions. The third issue was her previous statement opposing to the road signs written in Jawi. “I denied the first two,” said the Seputeh MP. The third issue, why signs in Jawi, I am sure Jawi is Greek to most Malaysians.
The double standards of the Government she mentions, she urged the police to investigate Umno politician and Selangor opposition leader Mohd Khir Toyo who had deliberately
fibbed- Malaysiakini, who had accused her for saying that azans are “disturbing the peace” of local residents. This unemployed dentist has been at it for quite sometime. Everyone is waiting with unabated breath to see him get picked up and interrogated by the Police. It will be nice seeing him in designer cuffs.
She singled out the Umno-owned right wing, race baiting Utusan for triggering religious controversy among Muslims through
an article last week entitled, ‘Azan, jawi, JAIS, UiTM dan ba-alif-ba-ya’, this column, written by senior editor Zaini. The temerity of these rabid racists is that, the
race baiting Utusan dares Kok to take lie detector test . In Malaysiakini.
On a further note tolerance and intolerance regarding mosques in Germany, notice the difference in Malaysia?
As to the Bar Council Forum disrupted by thugs and goons. . Confrontation over German mosque,stone-throwing protesters have disrupted the opening of a right-wing conference against the building of a giant mosque in Cologne, Germany. The demonstrators blocked two leaders of the Pro-Cologne movement from entering the conference venue, pursuing them as they sought refuge on a boat. The "anti-Islamification" event has drawn speakers from across Europe. Its main event is a march on Saturday.
But opponents are predicting a massive counter-demonstration. German nationalist leaders had hoped to give a press conference at a building in Cologne, but were barracked by a crowd of dozens, and turned away by a city official on orders from the mayor. They sought refuge on a boat on the Rhine river, which demonstrators then pelted with stones and paintballs. Police arrested several of them, the Associated Press reported. The Pro-Cologne group said it was trying to build a "European, patriotic, populist right-wing movement", and said it expected politicians from Belgium, Austrian and Italy to attend its conference.
Cologne's mayor called on citizens to give the event "the cold shoulder" The centrepiece is a rally on Saturday against the building of a large, domed mosque, with two 55m (177ft) minarets, in the city's heavily immigrant Ehrenfeld district. Construction has been approved by the city council and is due to begin by the end of the year. Cologne Mayor Fritz Schramma called on the city's inhabitants to give the right-wingers "the cold shoulder". Gabriele Hermani, a spokeswoman for the interior ministry condemned the conference saying: "We believe that such an event organised by populists and extremists in Cologne is damaging to the good co-operation between the city and its Muslim citizens."
