Does someone have to die first before Najib says something?

Useless PM! No Leadership! Does he condone political violence or not?

19 May 2012 - Slipping out of national consciousness since last year’s by-election, the small town of Merlimau, Malacca was thrust back into the limelight last Saturday following a fracas where opposition assemblypersons were attacked with stones and eggs.

According to Malacca PAS commissioner Adly Zahari, the flashpoint was when an Indian woman started speaking at the high-tea event, triggering a “gatecrash” attempt by protesters.

The roughly 200 people, mostly youths, protested against the presence of Bersih co-chairperson Ambiga Sreneevasan at Taman Seri Merlimau for a high-tea event organised by the local PAS Supporters Club.

21 May 2012 -  A Pakatan Rakyat ceramah in a community hall in Pekan Bangi, Selangor was disrupted on Monday night by a group of alleged stone-throwing thugs.

Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching (right) said in a press release that the incident happened at about 11pm when PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu took the stage.

Teo, who was among the speakers at the event, said that a group of about 30 people started pelting stones and taunting the security detail at the event.

This resulted in the windows of one vehicle being damaged.

Contacted for details, Serdang PAS division deputy chief Mazwan Johar said there were no injuries.

He noted that apart from the car, other casualties included a big banner for the event and two PAS flags which were burnt.


24 May 2012 - Stones and eggs were again thrown at a Pakatan Rakyat ceramah, causing one senior citizen to suffer injuries to the head.

The man was bleeding from his head and barely conscious when taken away to seek medical attention.

The incident happened at about 11pm, when PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim was speaking at a ceramah at Apartment Pantai Permai, Kuala Lumpur, which is within the PKR-held constituency of Lembah Pantai.

According to eyewitnesses, the projectile was hurled into the crowd from an Umno function at the Pantai Dalam Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) quarters next door.

This happened about 30 minutes after the power supply for the event was cut, allegedly sabotaged, but hastily restored with some tape.

Despite the disruptions, the ceramah was able to proceed as participants remained calm and allowed Anwar to finish his speech.
Fist-sized flying brick
Another projectile victims was 12-year-old Nurul Balqis, who was struck by a fist-sized flying brick on her wrist.

Her mother Adita Ketek told reporters that the doctor who inspected her arm had asked her to seek further medical inspection because her wrist might be broken.
Following the ugly incidents, a group of PKR supporters marched towards some 200 Umno supporters, who are no more than 20 meters away, while police rushed in to intervene.

However, with only a brick-and-mortar fence separating the opposing groups, the PKR supporters continued to be pelted with stones and water bottles for some time.

Earlier, at about 9pm, some 80 people in red shirts gathered outside the PKR ceramah venue and chanted "Tibai (whack)", which is the acronym of a newly formed anti-Anwar group.

 25 May 2012 - Vandals struck at an opposition ceramah again, this time at an event featuring former Perak MB Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin in Kuals Kangsar, at which 11 cars were splashed with blue paint.

The Bukit Gantang MP said he was addressing an audience of about 400 at a PAS ceramah in Kampung Sayong Lembah in Kuala Kangsar yesterday when he received a slip of paper informing him of the incident.

“I was told that the cars were splashed with blue paint. The paint was splashed mostly on the headlights,” Nizar (left) told Malaysiakini when contacted.

The organisers and the owners of the vehicles have lodged police reports on the matter, he said.

One of the organisers, who did not want to be named, said prior to that paint spalshing, a small group of motorcyclists disrupted the ceramah.

“An Umno ceramah was also going, on about 200m from our venue. Just before Nizar arrived, some of those from Umno were revving their motorcycle engines,” said the Kuala Kangsar PAS member.

“Just before the ceramah started about 9pm, they were stopping people on the way there and asking if they were attending the Umno ceramah or PAS’,” he added.

He claimed that the Umno members were “trying to provoke” those who were coming to the PAS ceramah.

 25 May 2012 - Pakatan leaders moved on to the second and last ceramah of the night in Pasir Gudang - about 90 minutes west of Pengerang - three vehicles suddenly appeared on the highway and attempted to bump Anwar's car off the road, claimed Tian Chua.

"A few cars tried to cut off Anwar's vehicle and created a dangerous situation, our vehicles had to move forward to help him," he said.

Asked if this was a mere coincidence, Tian Chua (right) replied: "It was deliberate, the cars deliberately tried to block him (Anwar) off, this was a clear attempt to intimidate us."

 31 May 2012 - Selangor DAP state committee member V Ganapathirao and his brother Raidu, who are leading the Hindraf splinter group Malaysian Indian Voice (MIV), suffered bone fractures after three BN supporters assaulted them in Klang last night.

Ganapathirao told Malaysiakini this morning that the assailants armed with a car steering lock and metal objects attacked the duo at a road junction at Taman Mutiara.

Resulting from the 10-minute attack, Ganapathirao (centre in photo, with Papparaidu at right) suffered a nasal bone fracture, swollen jaw and several bruises while Raidu's right arm was broken and shoulder dislocated.
The duo have been admitted into a hospital in Klang. Ganapathirao will be discharged later today.
Ganapathirao, a former senior Hindraf leader once detained under the Internal Security Act, claimed the assailants were unhappy with him and Raidu (below) for organising the MIV rally last Sunday that attracted 1,000 Indians to voice their support for Pakatan Rakyat.
“There were only two of us last night. We were attending a funeral at Taman Mutiara, Jalan Meru. We met the three attackers who were chatting at the middle the road some 50m away from the house.

“I know one of them because he had approached me two years ago asking me to join BN.
"He said we are now ‘taiko’ (big brother) after organising the MIV rally. I replied that they are cheats and traitors.

“I tried to walk away but one of them, armed with a car steering lock, hit me first.
"My elder brother tried to protect me but was attacked by the other two. My nasal bone was broken, my glasses fell, and my nose was bleeding until my clothes were all red.

“There were continuous punches and kicks. They attacked us with metal rods and a plastic chair,” Ganapathirao claimed.

The trio also broke the windscreen of his car before leaving the scene in a car.
