It is the season of flip flop, now he says "he's done it". Not the butler, but him. He ordered the arrests. Just imagine the power of Syed Hamid Albar's reasoning why Ahmad was not detained was, that he was already punished (grossly lenient compared to the ISA) and that there is a police report against him for sedition. That is our very "capable" Minister of Home affairs. He sentences innocents into confinement, whilst the perpetrators walk free. The question we should ask of the Minister is "why are the Police pussy footing and dragging their feet, in detaining this UMNO Putra?" Why is the unjust rule of law of law applicable on innocents? Whilst the just rule of law not applicable to thugs and goons. Oh, I forgot, they belong to the same club. Some people , apparently are more equal than others. Now comes the classic disease of flip flop, common disease amongst the BN wallahs, in relation to the ISA arrests.

Syed Hamid Albar has made a fantastic flip and flop, not those Japanese male and female slippers, that he was not involved in the detention of three individuals under the Internal Security Act (ISA) last Friday. In the Malay daily, race baiting Utusan Malaysia, Syed Hamid now said he had approved the detentions on behalf of the government, in carrying out his duty as a cabinet minister and not as any ‘outsider’. From Malaysiakini.

Syed Hamid said the ISA crackdown was a government decision and no minister, including Zaid, should question it. Hello, even your colleague de facto law minister Zaid Ibrahim, is questioning it. You know that you have been cornered by the people of Malaysia. How much more dishonest can you get. You bluster in your self importance by saying "ISA crackdown was a government decision and no minister, including Zaid, should question it."

Then you berate your colleague who is an honourable man by saying “Zaid is in the cabinet, if he has his own views, he should bring it up with the prime minister (Abdullah Ahmad Badawi). If every cabinet member openly debates through the media, we will have an administrative crisis. “If a cabinet member is doing his job while another one openly criticises him, I don’t know where we are heading and what will happen.” Okay, Zaid has resigned, you have no cause now. So what is the excuse now?

This is what will happen, you are sliding down a chute, which leads to the cesspool of history. Syed Hamid had on Saturday 13 Sept 2008, said he had not ordered the arrests and that the decision to hold DAP Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin and Sin Chew Daily journalist Tan Hoon Cheng were made by the police on their own discretion.

The police force, nevertheless, comes under the jurisdiction of Syed Hamid as the home minister. This guy has the powers over the Police, what is wrong with our Ministers? They still do not get it, that the clock is ticking. There will be a new dawn for Malaysia. Malaysiakini.
