Giving a Statement This Friday @ Dang Wangi Police Station (Updated)



Received a call from ASP Sydney of Dang Wangi Police Station. Apparently, he was looking for me & a few other Anti-ISA Activists / Bloggers, whom went to Pak Lah's Hari Raya Open House to meet him.

As of now, those whom will be going to see him are Amarjit Sidhu, Ashok Kandiah, Haris Ibrahim & I.

He requested our presence this coming Friday 10/10/08, 2.30pm @ the Dang Wangi Police station.

According to Ashok, it is not necessary for anyone to come to the police station in support, as ASP Sydney will just be taking a quick statement, before letting us go.

I had a quick conversation with ASP Sydney during our visit to Badawi's open house. He seemed like a nice guy - friendly, warm, matured & humorous.

Of course, I remember hearing about him in the past. Here is one incident, where I remember hearing his name.

YB Ronnie Liu, had advised us not to go, for fears that we might be framed.

After a quick chat with Ashok, the plan is still on. We will still be going. Should be OK ;-)

"Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential." - Barack Obama

"...you just got to learn to stand up to these people. That’s it. The trouble is, Malaysians still live under the fear factor. You are scared of May 13, you are scared of the ISA, you are scared of being sacked from your job. But if one million people stand up and say go to hell, are they going to catch one million people, put them on trial? Kamunting so big-ah can fit one million people? So you just got to face up to them." - Raja Petra / RPK

Think you should lawyer up ji.

Haris, Ashok and Sidhu are lawyers. Not sure if u r one too, but if u aren't, you might want to consider getting legal representation.
No such thing as a "simple statement" in Msia - anything u say can and will be twisted against you.
Keep answers very short . Don't volunteer any additional information.
Don't fall for any nice guy routine/friendly banter - it's a TRAP.
Good luck.

It is very fishy.
And do remember that the polis loves to put witnesses in lockup.

Haris is also a lawyer..and a Pillar of the 'ABOLISH ISA'..
I think this trip to the Balai is no problem..
Anyway take some friends along with you and a spare HP (new number).. Leave your current HP with your frens outside the Balai..
