Pemuda Umno gesa 'budaya liar asing' dikekang

Pemuda Umno gesa 'budaya liar asing' dikekang
Jul 13, 08 11:00pm
Pemuda Umno mahu 'budaya liar asing' yang merujuk kepada demonstrasi jalanan yang cuba dibawa oleh Ketua Umum PKR, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dikekang sebelum menimbulkan suasana huru-hara.

Ketua Pergerakan Pemuda Umno Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein dalam kenyataan akhbarnya malam ini, berkata perkara itu bakal menjadi satu lagi helah besar Anwar untuk mengalih tumpuan ramai dari kes liwatnya yang sedang disiasat oleh pihak polis.

"Saya menyeru kepadanya (Anwar), cukuplah dengan sandiwara ini, janganlah memperalatkan rakyat yang tidak berdosa untuk memenuhi agenda peribadinya," katanya.

Bernama melaporkan beliau berkata, sikap yang ditunjukkan Anwar itu jelas menunjukkan seseorang yang hilang pertimbangan kewarasan serta sanggup mengorbankan prinsip demokrasi, keamanan dan kesejahteraan untuk memenuhi impian peribadi dan mengalih perhatian ramai.

Hishamuddin berkata Pemuda Umno telah sepakat dengan anggota-anggota exco dalam perkara ini untuk bersatu-padu bagi menggerakkan anggotanya di semua peringkat akar umbi bagi menangani isu tersebut.

WTF? Public Security? : 'Musang-and Albar''s Brain

http://whyyousolikedat.blogspot.com/2008/07/wtf-public-security.html

I was one of the thousands who had to endure massive traffic jams this morning on my way to work. I do understand that public security is of utmost importance, but I am wondering about the effectiveness of such roadblocks that had been set up all across the city outskirts.



Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar explained that the police operation is in the interest of public security. The roadblocks are manned by a handful of police officers who just wave everyone by. Blocking two lanes out of four along the Sprint Highway, manned by bored looking police officers does not conjure up an image of a massive police operation in the interest of 'public security'. Such roadblocks had created chaos that affected thousands of people heading to work this morning. Imagine how much it had affected businesses when people cannot even go to work on time.


Resources should be put more effectively into intelligence reports rather than reacting on rumours and hearsay, thus prompting a knee-jerk reaction to a perceived 'threat' to public security. Setting up roadblocks during rush hour is simply ineffective and serves no other purpose but to frustrate everyone and create chaos in the roads.

I don't know about you but looking at the picture below, with that one bored looking cop staring into space, do you think all this is done in the interest of public security? Yougottabeflippinkiddingme.
