I went to court this morning at 9am together with 19 others who were being charged for the anti-ISA and commemoration of BERSIH rally candlelight vigil for the mention of the hearing dates (for the full trial).
After a long long wait, our turn came up finally at noon, when it was agreed that the trial will be set to start on the 10th November later this year. It didn't hit me then, but in the car, while driving back to Parliament, I sort of realised that it was a familiar date...
And then... ta da! It's the anniversary of both our arrest, as well as the 2nd anniversary of the BERSIH rally! How appropriately symbolic! ;-)
Good, good, good.
ReplyDeleteYou need the earn your opposition credentials, and most major Malaysian opposition figures were at one time, either ISAed, beaten by the police, arrested or put into jail.
Wear your credentials with pride. I mean it. It is your baptism of fire as an opposition politician.
I hope that after your baptism of fire as an Opposition politician, you will be a ruling party politician sometime in my lifetime.
ReplyDeleteRemember, Remember the 10th of November...
ReplyDeleteHave you lodged a police report against the police for assault? Or manhandling, whatever it is. After all you are an MP....
