Time to JERIT (Scream) out OUT LOUD!

It is time to scream! Scream really loud! The police ain't going to help you. They are too busy, the CPO Selangor has got better things to do than to fight crime - putting under-aged cyclist in lock-up.

For the past 2 weeks (if you have not known by now) groups of cyclists from Kedah and Johor cycled to meet in Parliament on Thursday. These young people decided to cycle for a cause and worked with MPs and ADUNs to make their cause known. During these last two weeks they have been harassed and intimidated by the Police, apparently in an attempt to stop them from reaching the Parliament grounds.

Read about how the police are harassing these kids trying to speak up and how Robbers run wild, cops arrest Jerit cyclists, cops put underage kids lockup.

JERIT or JARINGAN RAKYAT TERTINDAS is in existence since year 2002. It is a network of four coalition Factory Workers Coalitions (GPKK), Plantation Workers Coalition( JSML), Student and Youth Coalition( GAMP), Urban Settlers Coalition( GPBP) and NGOs. Since 2002 we have been involved in various community issues. Political parties and other NGO support our campaigns and our work. To date , 47 organisations , MPs and State Assemblymen endorse our Bicycle campaign

·         JERIT has been  an active coalition and has been quoted many times in newspapers and electronic media, has an active website and have been invited to speak in many programmes even govement  programmes, so it is suprising that the police have only now discovered JERIT

An end note: I support the parents of these kids. They have overcome fear and taught their children that they can be responsible and fight for their rights. They have taught them not to be cowards. I salute these parents.
