Can somebody please enlighten me on this
Restricted Residence Act that is being repeal by Najib so hastily….does not
this Restricted Residence Act apply more to criminals then to political
prisoners?
Which brings me to this other disturbing
thought! Why repeal this first before the ISA?
Maybe because those incarcerated under the
ISA do not have enough money to Kautim with the powers that be? And that those
now under the Restricted Residence Act and those about to be served with the
Restricted Residence Act are those Heavenly Kings whose normal playground is
the Bukit Bintang area – not only are they wealthy but they do have friends within
PDRM and in Putrajaya!
Is Najib and his goons playing us for
suckers again? Are they descending to a new low in order to line up their own
pockets? Or both?
Please some one tell me I am wrong!

issue an order in one of the
Forms in the Schedule for the arrest
