Say NO to a Police State!

With all the posts regarding on free speech issues and the attempt to silence dissent, the fear of turning Malaysia into a police state seems inevitable.

The game card that is often played to snuff out dissent is the infamous Sedition Act 1948. It is an easy-to-read act that threatens jail terms for those who questions issues that are labelled as "sensitive", say the Malay supremacy, Malay language in schools, etc. In other words, it is the replacement for the Internal Security Act, which pretty much worked similarly.

To question its use and to repeal the act seems to be a difficult task:

For all the nation should know, there is no idea or opportunity to progress from this act, as no one seems to care for its potent danger. The reason why it all mattered in the first place was the fact that our dear PM promised so.
