Sassy MP

by Lak-E Wong

A tribute to YB Teresa Kok (detained under the ISA on Friday, 12 September , 2008)

You champion diversified inclusion,

They practise racial discriminative exclusion;

They get away crime free,

You’re made the “fall-guy-be”.

They say a lot of flase things,

All of them are just stings.

They try to break your spirit,

By ways crude and stupid;

Stay tough, stay calm and stay true,

Many believe and look up to you.

We pray for your safety and health,

Hoping you’ll be strong and well

Teresa Kok’s habeas corpus application against her detention under the Internal Security Act (ISA) will be heard on Sept 23.

This is part 2 of the Memories series. Please read this for background. Continue Reading »

Clarification:

No, Teresa Kok has no access to wifi, fixed line broadband or dialup to get online since her arrest.

The status message updates in her Facebook account in the past 24 hours were not done by her but by a support team.

The team will try to flash breaking news about her to her FB a/c if and when possible.

Together we shall prevail. Thank you.

The public is starting to send in graphic logo/badges for the Free Teresa campaign. I encourage them to keep doing so as the grassroot is the foundation of every successful campaign.

Yesterday we were told to remove from the blog our Yellow Ribbon for Teresa and to replace it with a Red Ribbon. We shall resist from being dictated to by another arm of the Free Teresa campaign because this is Teresa’s personal blog and we don’t want to turn it into a soulless public bulletin board.

“A yellow ribbon is a symbol with various meanings, mostly associated with those waiting for the return of a loved one or of military troops who are temporarily unable to come home.” — Wikipedia.

“The red ribbon is a symbol for both drug prevention and for the fight against AIDS.” — Wikipedia.

The red ribbon they are now using is an EXACT of the international HIV/AIDS Awareness one.

Another logo being used has a swastika-like image. This is untimely given Ahmad Ismail’s recent comment that the Chinese must not be like the Jews. Swastika-Jews-holocaust. We should NOT let the Free Teresa campaign be misinterpreted by the grassroot and/or authorities.

Please continue to send in graphics highlighting Teresa’s detention and the ISA. We’ll try to upload as many as possible to Teresa’s Facebook supporters’ page and to this blog because we want this to be a supporter-based initiative. You can email the graphics and/or messages of support to Teresa at freeteresanow@gmail.com.

You may freely use any graphics, comments or statements in this blog for lawful purposes.

Kit Siang applauded Dato’ Zaid’s decision to resign as Minister on the matter of principle that the ISA should not be used against civilians but only against those who advocate the overthrow of government by force or terrorists. Continue Reading »
