I cannot help but to think that the Police, Judicary and other agencies are working for the opposition PR. Some bloggers has questioned the intelligence of the Police in arresting the candle-light vigil participants or anyone one wearing black for that matter. Shouting through the microphone right in front of the people. Doing this in full view of local and international media - including Malaysiakini! They are not stupid! They definately know the vigil participants are not deaf, so why need to use a bullhorn a few meters away. They know that the world is watching and the Police knows exactly what they are doing. They also know the video will be out to the whole world through the internet. I am sure they watch too. I am sure thier children and relatives watch them as well. It is not they they are totally ignorant of the influence of cyberspace.
If you look at carefully - no one really was hurt when they arrested the vigil participants. None of the lawyers were hurt too. In fact many were released with no charges. Some will be released in a couple of days. I am sure the Police know the criminal procedures very well and not to make fools of themselves. There is a reason whey are doing this, a really smart reason indeed. They also give reason for the Malaysian BAR to respond swift and hard, calling for the IGP and Minister of Internal Affairs to resign. Clever.
Why are Courts producing such declarations and judegments which seems to go against the grain of common sense? Are the judges intelligence questionable? They cannot just be just mindlessly following orders of the current political masters? Do you think that people of such high intellectual and social stature allow themselves to be perceived as mere servants? I don't think so. They are also not stupid. They are not fools. They know exactly what they are doing.
They also know that images like the Perak Speaker being dragged out of the House would be captured and spread all over the world and every Malaysian would have seen or heard about it (see below)
I think they have a plan and it has nothing to with the current political leaders. They's why BN leaders seems not to be in control at all. Shooting off their hip every time they are put in a corner. Making policy decisions in speeches without proper think through and planning. Or say things that are not suppose to say like our foreign minister at the White House recently (Check the video here)
My theory is that they know that the Pakatan will take over, the Poilce knows who the new bosses are. By doing what they are doing, only makes the BN look stupid and out of control. This will make the people angry and expediate the transition to a new government. I think they are as fed-up of the situation as the people are and this is their way of making change happen. This is a little sacrifice they have to make and they know the people would hate them for it. People, lets not be too hard on them.
They cannot go to the streets and protests like us. Imagine a Federal Court judge holding a candle joining in a candlelight vigil. Imagine too, the IGP coming out supporting by a wearing black t-shirt holding candle. Cannot happen right? DO you think the police, the judges or government officials are robots without brains, cannot think? Do you they they are absolutely happy with the political situation, considering the very low salaries the officers are getting? Go figure. This is their way of saying, "we want change too"!
How else can you explain what's happening. Right?
