The Constitutional Rights To Peaceful Assembly – Part 1.

PJ Magistrate Court – March 10 2009.

It was another frustration day the 24 persons detained at the candlelight vigil on the 09 November 2008.


They are on RM1500.00 bail each and the hearing is scheduled on the 10th. 11th.12th. in November and 8th. 9th. 10th. in December. The prosecutor needs a total of six days because she claimed to have witnesses to testify against the 24 persons who were detained at the candlelight vigil. To any body’s guess, the witnesses will be the police themselves, who else?


The new PJ Magistrate Court is long overdue but a welcome sight, especially the toilet. Imagine one has to perform the balancing act in the toilet modified from a container of the old magistrate court. If one is unskillful to be able to do two things at the same time, then you will be one hell of a shit!

Part 2 to be continued, on the event on January 23 2009.

One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"

The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?"

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful John's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between John and his roommate and this only made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the roommate than met the eye.

Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Julie and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Julie came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure."

So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner."

Love John

Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which read: "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Julie, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Julie. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.

Love Mum


A few minutes before the services began, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking.

Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from the evil incarnate.

Soon everyone exited the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.

So Satan walked up to the old man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"

The man replied, "Yep, sure do."

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.

"Nope, sure ain't." said the man.

"Don't you realize I can kill you with a word?" asked Satan.

"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.

"Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, physical AGONY for all eternity?" persisted Satan.

"Yep," was the calm reply.

"And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.

"Nope."

More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?"

The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for over 48 years.

Two nuns, Sister Marilyn and Sister Helen, are travelling through Europe in their car.

They get to Transylvania and are stopped at a traffic light. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a diminutive Dracula jumps onto the hood of the car and hisses at them, through the windscreen.

"Quick, quick!" shouts Sister Marilyn. "What shall we do?"

"Turn the windscreen wipers on. That will get rid of the abomination," says Sister Helen.

Sister Marilyn switches them on, knocking Dracula about, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.

"What shall I do now?" she shouts.

"Switch on the windscreen washer. I filled it up with Holy Water in the Vatican," says Sister Helen.

Sister Marilyn turns on the windscreen washer. Dracula screams as the water burns his skin, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.

"Now what?" shouts Sister Marilyn.

As Dracula hangs on."Show him your cross," says Sister Helen.

"Now you're talking," says Sister Marilyn as she opens the window and shouts, ... "Get the Fuck off our car!!"

A man bumps into a woman in a hotel lobby and as he does, his elbow goes into her breast.

They are both quite startled.

The man turns to her and says, "Ma'am, if your heart is as soft as your breast, I know you'll forgive me."

She replies, "If your dick is as hard as your elbow, I'm in room 221."

I have been engaged for almost a year. I am to be married next month. My fiancée's mother is not only very attractive but really great and understanding. She is putting the entire wedding together and invited me to her place to go over the invitation list because it had grown a bit beyond what we had expected it to be.

When I got to her place we reviewed the list and trimmed it down to just under a hundred ... then she floored me.

She said that in a month I would be a married man and that before that happened, she wanted to have sex with me. Then she just stood up and walked to her bedroom and on her way said that I knew where the front door was if I wanted to leave.

I stood there for about five minutes and finally decided that I knew exactly how to deal with this situation. I headed straight out the front door.

There, leaning against my car was her husband, my father-in-law to be. He was smiling. He explained that they just wanted to be sure I was a good kid and would be true to their little girl.

I shook his hand and he congratulated me on passing their little test.

Abby, should I tell my fiancée what her parents did, and that I thought their "little test" was asinine and insulting to my character?

Or should I keep the whole thing to myself including the fact that the reason I was walking out to my car was to get a condom?


Joint Press Statement: 11st March 2009

Commission on Enforcement Agencies Cannot Substitute the IPCMC:
Proposed Body Potentially Lacks Efficiency and Effectiveness




Amnesty International Malaysia and Suaram express grave disappointment over the tabling of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Bill (EAIC) in Parliament today, instead of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) Bill which was proposed by the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysia Police.

The new Bill in its obvious terms defeats the true intention of the Royal Commission to specifically improve the professionalism of the Malaysian Police services and to restore the diminishing public confidence in our police service.

The tabled Bill in our opinion fails to address the fundamental characteristic of a complaint as it lacks independent enforcement powers to provide effective checks and balances in a fair and transparent manner.

We also express serious concerns over the proposed structure of referral function of all investigations to the Attorney General for enforcement hence giving rise to concerns of selective prosecution and political decisions as in cover ups on high profile and politically linked cases.

We are also alarmed at the fact that the Attorney-General who is the political appointee of the Prime Minister is indeed given the full final decision-making mandate which, in our view, defeats the notion of a case being handled and disposed off in a truly independent, just and credible manner.

We are also concerned with the scope of the newly proposed Commission that covers 21 public agencies, which in our view, will make the body redundant and ineffective in its function. We fear that the scope is too wide, and is therefore impossible for a single body of such limited capacity and resources to be able to handle all cases of concern regarding all the 21 agencies of vast differing procedures and operational order.

This development, in our view, will again incapacitate the function of the newly proposed body as it will be faced with issues of delayed responses, inefficient investigative work and runs a risk of being selective due to insufficient resources and capacity. The new body will also be over-stretched in terms of effective and efficient monitoring and scrutiny of the entire enforcement units in Malaysia due to the said facts.

We firmly believe that the need for a specific and specialised independent oversight mechanism is crucial for the improvement and human rights compliance of the police service, as the force is the largest enforcement unit with very wide powers and comes in contact with the public the most on a daily basis.

The proposed Commission is redundant as it would not enjoy the confidence of the public. There will also be doubts on whether complaints made by the public on the police force will attain proper justice in an impartial manner free from any element of collusion and in utmost effective and efficient manner.

We will continue to lobby and campaign for the implementation of the IPCMC over and above the newly tabled Bill to address the critical gaps in the currently proposed body that we believe will not enjoy public confidence upon its full implementation.

We will also continue to monitor the function and effectiveness of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission and provide critical interventions to address the inherent weakness of the body and continue with the reform agenda for our police service.
