looks like the reb was right. the english newspapers today came up with denuciations from various peoples and organizations of our home ministers' reasons for the 3 detentions. there are people out there who can't be fooled by such 'illogical logic'.
It was Abraham Lincoln, 16th US President, who once said, 'You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all the time'. So it looks like whatever short-term plans these guys had are backfiring.
Yet, don't be entirely fooled. there are hidden agendas behind such actions. some 'brains' are definitely behind all these. look at the timing. some people think it is deliberately to provoke tensions between chinese and malays using religion as the tool. others think it is to create racial tension so that a wider use of the ISA can be used and to thwart sept 16th takeover by PKR. whatever the motives and hidden agendas, the rakyat has to treat warily and not into any traps and give further excuses for these guys to act.

D Unjust may break our bones but they can't break our spirit. Please send this D Catholics + people of goodwill. Father O.C. Lim
