 Six of our activists had visits from the police at their homes. They have been asked to show up at the IPD Gombak Police Station tomorrow 16th Feb at 9.00am. The 6 are Kapar Samy, Kapar Maniam, Nathan, Shan, Param and Thiaga.We do not the actual reason for this call.
It is our opinion thAT THIS BEING DONE TO CREATE FEAR IN PEOPLE.
Let me quote Wael Ghonim, the 30 year old Egyptian Google executive and Democracy Activist who was instrumental in moving the people of Egypt during the recent uprising of the people in Egypt just a few days ago :
“The only barrier to people rising up is the psychological barrier of fear. All these regimes rely on fear. They want everyone to be scared. If you manage to break the psychological barrier you are going to definitely going to win.”

This is the true intent of the Police – to create fear. But if we all can overcome this fear, they or anyone else cannot stop us.
