I spent the afternoon at the Chinese assembly Hall to lend support to the launch of the Centre for Policy Initiatives English and Chinese Website. The launch was preceded by speeches by Dr Syed Husin Ali, Deputy President of PKR and former Penang State Councillor Datuk Dr Toh Ki Woon. Both spoke on Freedom of Information. Dr Syed Husin Ali recalled the time when Ku Li of Semangat 46 was trying to promote Gagasan. He asked the BN government during the election campaign: “Give me 3minutes even at 3am on TV”. This was denied. So much for freedom of Information. During question time Dr Husin was asked if 916 was a fact. He said, straight-faced, ” I can say authoritatively that we have the numbers…….it will happen…if not on the 16, its after……because they have snatched some bodies away on some study trip to Taiwan.”
We are not stupid. If you have grounds to say that Raja Petra is publishing “libellous, defamatory and slanderous??? stuff, please take him to court and seek legal recourse.
