Foong Speaks Her Mind

UPDATED at midnight: The police is keeping Anwar Ibrahim locked up for the night and may be presenting him for a remand order at the magistrate’s court on July 17. Looks like the police intended to remand him for 14 days and possibly charged him for ‘committing carnal intercourse against the order of nature’.

By now, probably the whole blogosphere is abuzz with the latest news of PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim being arrested at 12.55pm outside his house after he came back from the ACA.

Makes you wonder about the extreme efficiency of our police force, huh? They sure do move fast in this case. If only they were as efficient in solving REAL crimes like murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries, snatch thefts and other violent crimes, then Malaysia will be an even more peaceful and safer country.

Too bad that’s not the way they work. For those of you who don’t have a Malaysiakini subscription or could not access Malaysiakini, here’s the updated news below:

Anwar arrested outside his house
Jul 16, 08 1:16pm

Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was arrested by the police just outside his home in Bukit Segambut, Kuala Lumpur, at 12.55pm today.

The de facto PKR leader was on his way back to his house after being questioned by the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA).

A team of police officers were waiting, according to lawyer R Sivarasa.

Anwar was driven away in a 4WD vehicle with tinted windows, escorted by a convoy of 15 patrol cars. They arrived at Kuala Lumpur police headquarters at 1.11pm.

It is believed that members of a special team from the serious crime division - sporting balaclavas and leather jackets - were also involved in the operation.

At 1.40pm, about 200 supporters and opposition parliamentarians were assembled outside the building. Among them is DAP leader Karpal Singh.

Anwar was to have met the police by 2pm to be questioned over the complaint of sodomy against him by a former aide, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.

According to media reports today, a warrant of arrest had already been obtained, to be used in the event of a no-show.

Anwar’s wife and PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail confirmed the arrest.

She told reporters in parliament that she had received a call from Anwar and that he had complained of rough treatment by the arresting officers.

“I received a call from my husband that the police picked him up just before he reached the house,” she said.

“I didn’t have time to ask whether there was a warrant… He’s on the way - this is my guess - to the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters, where he was supposed to report at 2pm.”

Anwar also told her to return to their home first in order to calm their children and come to the police headquarters later.

“I’m apprehensive because my husband – it’s been 10 years down the road. He is not well, he has a bad back for which he has (undergone) surgery,” said Azizah, who appeared visibly distraughted and numbed by the news.

“From the brief conversation, he said that they (the police) were not gentle.”

It is learnt that Anwar is to be charged under Section 377C of the Penal Code which relates to ‘carnal intercourse against the order of nature’.

A recent amendment to the provision reads: ‘Any person who has sexual connection with another person by the introduction of any object into the vagina or anus of the other person shall be punished with imprisonment or a term which may extend to 20 years and shall also be liable to whipping.’

A number of the parliamentarians and Anwar’s family members are allowed into the IPK building while journalists are confined in the carpark.

A small team of police light-strike force, accompanied by a water-cannon truck, is keeping a watchful eye on supporters who are milling outside the IPK compound.

According to PKR MP Wee Choo Keong, who is inside the IPK building, Wan Azizah and her two daughters - Nurul Izzah and Nurul Nuha - are able to see Anwar on the 7th floor at about 2pm.

Human beings are destined for extinction. The signs are all there…**enter scary instrumental music**

There are people swearing at God in the name of God over stupid matters that God does not even want to know about.

There are people banging their heads against the wall over things not in their control.

There are people becoming too anal about certain things when there is a larger picture to look at.

Then there are the bombs and weapons of mass destructions that were there and then not there.

And seriously…

There are the senseless killings of animals and let’s not forget how some monsters are left to roam the streets to prey on innocents.

Then there are the millions of air, water, earth, everything polluting devices being produced each day to kill the earth faster.

So, in the end, when there really is an Apocalypse, humans will all be destroyed and one main species will survive it all. I swear (but not on any Holy book or any God’s name) that this species is so hardy that it is practically immortal.

What is it?

Yep, your friendly household cockroach and its gadzillions of offsprings.

If anything, I really hate this bug. With a vehemence. And no, I do not jump up on chairs and screech at the sight of a cockroach. I will turn into this zealous cockroach-hunter and pick up something solid and start chasing after it to kill it. That’s the only way to kill it.

No aerosols for me because I do not believe in spraying poison in the air in my house just to kill a roach. No point poisoning myself and my family over a stupid roach.

Yep, a crushed roach is the way to kill cockroaches although it is not easy to crush them to smithereens. Trust me. I tried. They must have some sorta ‘hit-proof’ shield or something!

So, yes, these pesky, smelly, disgusting roaches will definitely survive anything (go watch Wall-E) since they’ve been around since the dinosaur age. And yes, according to some scientific research, the cockroach can withstand radiation dunnohowmanymillion times more than humans.

You wanna be immortal (okay, almost immortal) go be a cockroach. Just make sure you stay outta my way and I won’t crush you.

I swear (not in the name of God, although it is now an in-thing to do so) our country is going to the dogs. No, not the four-legged furry kind. More like the idiotic, moronic, two-legged kind who supposedly have brains and intelligence but these qualities seemed to have disappeared along with sense and sensibility. And I am not only referring to the monkeys in parliament.

Reading the news today, I would really have to agree COMPLETELY with the police that the roadblocks in KL is DARN effective. It is SO effective in creating gridlocks of traffic congestion. I have to really give it to them. While other governments try to solve traffic congestion problems, ours CREATE traffic congestion. And they do it so wonderfully effective too!

Then, there is this group whom I shall call the anti-blogger group intend on tagging all bloggers as nothing but liars and out to create mischief with their online gossiping and smear campaigns. Well, they could not have been even more accurate.

We ARE nothing but a bunch of liars out to spread lies and untruths and treacherous information to the general public. It is the very reason we exist! **insert evil laughter here**

Forget about all the talk in coffee shops, in the homes of the normal Malaysians, over the fences between neighbours, over the phone between friends, over expensive coffee at expensive coffee places, over nasi lemak at mamak stalls and through SMS over all phone networks. These word of mouth could not beat the INVINCIBLE lying bloggers in the whole of blogosphere!

After all, EVERY single Malaysian and citizen of the world read blogs. They can’t formulate their own conclusions. They don’t have their own opinions. They are blind to all that’s happening. They ONLY rely on blogs to tell them what to think, what to feel and what to do.

Even the pakcik in some kampung who could barely afford to pay for his daily meals have a superfast internet connection at home with a state of the art laptop for him to read blogs to find out the latest news and to find out what to think.

Yep. We bloggers have the POWER to INFLUENCE everyone. From the bawling babies who could barely read to the 100-year-old half blind woman tottering on the brink of death, EVERYONE reads blogs to be told what to think. They ALL believe blogs more than newspapers. We bloggers are like the KINGS/ QUEENSof information and mind controllers. So, we spread lies ALL the time. Bwahahahahahaha!

If you are a blogger, give yourself a pat on the back. You have become the KING / QUEEN of information and mind control (although sadly, we can’t seem to control the minds of certain groups of people). There is no higher honour than this, man.

If you are not a blogger, too bad. Isn’t it time you start blogging?
