Man ‘whacks’ Najib

KUALA LUMPUR: While politicians delivered fiery speeches at Padang Merbok, one elderly man decided to show his frustration by beating Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s portrait with a slipper.

“Najib knows how to make laws but he doesn’t understand on how to follow them. This is why he deserves it,” said M Krishnan,55 before whacking Najib’s portrait repeatedly.

He also drank some water, before spitting it out on Najib’s portrait.

His actions received thunderous support from those around him, who cheered while he waved his slipper on the portrait.

On what was his grouses against the government, Krishnan said he was a recipient of a public housing scheme (PPR) flat from the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), two years ago.

However, he claimed that the flat was in a poor condition and accused DBKL of ignoring his complaints.

“So I stopped paying rent after three months. Now I owe DBKL about RM3,000 but I don’t care,” said Krishnan.

He added that the Socso office had also failed to compensate him in full despite an injury suffered during his working time.

When asked if he feared the authorities may take action against him for his conduct, Krishnan told the media that he was not afraid to be arrested.

“If the police want to take action against me, go ahead. I’m not afraid,” he said. – FMT

Tens of thousands gather despite haze, threats: TIGHT SLAP for Najib, EC, police chiefs

Written by  Wong Choon Mei, Malaysia Chronicle

Some 70,000 Malaysians from all walks of life gathered on Saturday in a landmark rally to protest alleged cheating by Prime Minister Najib Razak’s Umno-BN coalition during the May 5 general election and to demand the immediate resignation of the Election Commission leadership.

The crowd, while smaller than that predicted by the organizers, was however much larger than anticipated given the hazy conditions and especially after a barely veiled threat by the City police chief. A late statement issued by KL police chief Mohmad Salleh on Friday night was interpreted by many that the police may turn rough on those who attended today’s rally, which is organized by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim’s Pakatan Rakyat coalition.

Although there was no violence and the rally proceeded without rowdy incidents, as the organizers had promised, the memories of how Najib had unleashed a violent police force on the people during the BERSIH 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 rallies are still fresh and this may have affected the crowd size.

The die-hard Pakatan supporters however do not see the ‘reform fever’ cooling off but instead are adamant it is “spreading”.

“No, it is not dying but growing. If you look at the crowd today, most are from outstation with Malays forming the biggest group. You must remember the first Black 505 rally in Kelana Jaya was mostly urban – KL and PJ residents. Now the clamor for electoral reform, for the EC chairman and deputy to quit and for re-elections in some of the seats is coming from those who live outstation and they are from the Malay community. This is a very powerful shift because the Malay electorate is the largest and the rural vote is pivotal,” an activist, who has been following the BERSIH and now the Black 505 rallies told Malaysia Chronicle.
…..

Husam picked up for speech made some 10 days ago

Indeed, in what critics believe was a sign of Najib’s panic at the runaway popularity of the Black 505 rallies, police arrested PAS vice president Husam Musa, as he was making his way to the Padang Merbok field.

The arrest was announced by the rally emcee Johari Abdul, who is also the MP for Sungei Petani. The crowd took the news in stunned silence before starting to jeer at the authorities, demanding for Husam’s release.

“I don’t know what this is all about. I was in Kelantan in the past three days. They could have detained me then. I suspect this is to stop me from speaking at the gathering,” Husam had told a news portal.
