Sin Chew reporter may be released Saturday (updated)

GEORGE TOWN: Sin Chew Daily News reporter Tan Hoon Cheng may be released as soon as today, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.

He added that no more Internal Security Act (ISA) arrests were expected but it will depend on the situation of public order.

Tan, who was arrested under the ISA on Friday night, was sent to Bukit Aman at about 8.30am Saturday.

Prior to that her parents were allowed to see her at the Penang police headquarters.

In a statement Saturday, Wanita MCA chief Datuk Ng Yen Yen said the Government should review the ISA to prevent its abuse or confusion when it is invoked.

Dr Ng said the MCA has sent a team of lawyers to help Tan’s family while Penang Wanita MCA chief Tan Cheng Liang said she would provide counselling for the family.

Tan, who was picked up at 8.40pm Friday, was taken from her house in Taman Seri Rambai in Bukit Mertajam to the state police headquarters on the island.

Tan, 32, reported former Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail’s racist remarks while campaigning for the Permatang Pauh by-election.

DAP memalukan

| 0 comments

Penang (BebasBersuara): Amat memalukan apabila ADUN Sungai Pinang, Koid Teng Guan meniru soalan bertulis sidang Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) November lalu.

Bagaimana seorang ADUN boleh meniru soalan yang hampir sama dengan soalan ADUN Datuk Keramat? Wah hebat sungguh ADUN DAP ini sehinggakan tiada idea sendiri. Sungguhpun Teng Guan mempunyai minat dan niat yang baik untuk bertanyakan hal rakyat, adalah tidak enak meniru soalan orang lain. Ini umpama mencuri jugalah. Hari ini mencuri soalan dari sidang DUN sesi lepas, esok lusa apa pula yang ingin dicuri?

Kah choon umum keluar Gerakan

PULAU PINANG (BebasBersuara) - Bekas Timbalan Setiausaha Agung Gerakan, Datuk Lee Kah Choon semalam mengumumkan keluar parti itu selepas keputusannya untuk menerima tawaran jawatan daripada kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang tidak dapat diterima oleh kepimpinan parti.

Wahai para pemimpin BN, marilah bersama Pakatan Rakyat demi manfaat rakyat sekalian. Cuma diingatkan agar tidak pentingkan diri sendiri dengan cara merompak wang rakyat. Sebaliknya contohilah para pemimpin PAS yang diyakini lebih bersih dan telus dalam menjalankan tugas yang diamanahkan oleh rakyat.
