Professor Aziz Bari of Universiti Islam Antarabangsa asked which law Hishammuddin was referring to in declaring that Bersih 2.0 T-shirts are illegal. Prof Aziz says that he is not aware of any law that makes the T-shirts illegal. As our Home Minister has declared so there must be one. Just be patient and he will let the rakyat know in his good time.
Fadiah Nadwa Fikri of Lawyers for Liberty has also rejected Home Minister’s statement outright, branding it an “abuse and misuse of power”.
“There is no such law prohibiting these T-shirts,” she said. “Furthermore, these T-shirts are not linked to an illegal activity because the Federal Constitution allows the right to peaceful assembly and the constitution is higher than any other law in this country.”
But then again, don't the rakyat know that the gomen is much better at interpreting the constitution. It is obvious the Home Minister knows what he is talking about.
The polis are very good at reading the rakyat's thoughts. Even before an application for a rally is made, the polis is fully aware that it will lead to chaos and what better then to nip it in the bud before chaos takes place. Just declare that a permit will never be provided and automatically the rally which has yet to occur becomes an illegal rally. So simple and so effective, as after having decided that the rally is illegal, the next step the polis can take is to effectively round up all those Bersih people and their paraphernalia. Some says the constitution allow for free assembly of the rakyat. But then again, who knows the constitution best if not the Home Minister and his polis. So if the IGP says the rally which has yet to take place is illegal, who is the rakyat to say otherwise. For all the rakyat may know the Bersih coalition is just talking about an imaginary rally, one that is not ever going to take place as the coalition has yet to apply for a rally permit, a permit which it has said is constitutionally unnecesary. So now, we might have a virtual rally which the IGP in his wisdom has declared illegal and his acting KL polis chief has advised the rakyat to stay away on the day this virtual rally is to take place. The rakyat can be sure that the IGP and his acting KL CPO are at this very moment deciding where to place the various road blocks to thwart the virtual rally from taking place. They are going to ensure that KL downtown is locked down and not available to participants of the rally, real or virtual. These actions will result in the taxi-drivers and petty traders of KL losing their RM1 billion income. Now these petty traders and taxi-drivers know to whom they should turn to to get compensation for their loss on the day of the virtual rally.
