We are effectively living in a police state under a government full of control freaks. The right to assemble, the right of association, the right to free speech, and the right to justice, are just some of the basic human rights. To hell with this PM, his Cabinet of the greedy and corrupt and all the other BN MPs and civil servants who do not have the independence, strength, accountability and integrity to stand up for their constituents and the public. The perhaps forget that the people of Malaysia are the bosses, not them!!!! Change is in the air, people power is the way forward.
