The mischief makers will be charged.

Tomorrow the band of brothers in Islam will be charged under the relevant sections. Yessir! Those brave warriors who paraded with a severed cow head and kicked the head. The AG has cited the relevant acts under which these people will be charged. The AG said they will be charged under the relevant section of the Sedition Act.

4. (1) any person who—

(a) Does or attempts to do, or makes any preparation to do, or conspires with any person to do, any act which has or which would, if done, have a seditious tendency;

(b) utters any seditious words;

(c) Prints, publishes, sells, offers for sale, distributes or reproduces any seditious publication; or

(d) Imports any seditious publication,

shall be guilty of an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable for a first offence to a fine not exceeding five thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or to both, and, for a subsequent offence, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years; and any seditious publication found in the possession of the person or used in evidence at his trial shall be forfeited and may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of as the court directs.

Some will be charged for illegal assembly.

There appears to a wave of sympathetic writings supporting these people. That's understandable but not commendable. The higher principle of the rule of law is more important. Not to mention, the amount of goodwill that will accrue to the government if they show they are resolute in upholding the law. The principle is you can't go around inciting or causing incitement. We are not doing this to appease the Hindus. We are doing this because it's the right thing to do. We must be even handed.

Who knows, what were the intentions of the ring leaders? As an afterthought, anyone can excuse his behavior. They could say, they didn't mean to insult the Hindus or Malaysian Indians. That's not material anymore. It's the effect caused on others that count here. In any case, how are we to know what's in the bosom of these people?

What should be taken into account are the behavior and utterances of the ring leaders which may be sufficient to infer intention. Maybe the video confiscated by MCMC can be adduced as evidence to infer intention.

Let's say, that we accept the argument that the outpouring of anger that day was directed at the state government. For the time being it's the PR government. What is the intention then? Was it a way to ask or force the government to do their bidding? What's stopping these people from going to the PR ADUN and presenting him with a petition list of demands? A fait acompli? Scream like many people do, at BN government- you don't do this and this, we will not vote for you in the next election. Why wasn't this done?

I tell you why. Most probably the agitators are only an insignificant number. They can't influence the outcome of an election as they claimed. The only recourse then is to display anger and resentment on an amokian scale.

Like many others, I watched the video where the man with the tall songkok was cursing and spiting venom on a sitting MB of a state. Then I quickly realized that militancy in Islam, terrorism and all those violent urges have nothing to do with the great religion itself. These are purely cultural in origins and spring from one's upbringing.

If these agitators think by doing what they did as being a precursor to a plan of action to take Selangor at all cost, then their actions can only be said to be a frolic of their own. It has nothing to do with the PM. Getting back Selangor at all costs means that UMNO people must work harder and better. Choreographed anger is not working harder. We don't want UMNO MBs to be shouted at abusively do we? Oh I forgot, we have the RELA goons to serve as security force.
