Singapore Warns Malaysian Politicians Not To Interfere In Its Domestic Affairs
The Star reported that Singapore warns Malaysian politicians not to interfere in its domestic affairs.
In the article, DAP’s Kulai MP, Teo Nie Ching argued that “the person she was fighting for was unfairly punished” by Singapore, adding:
“It’s not that we want to interfere with (Singapore’s) internal affairs. If (the one person) only attended one protest, then that is unfair,” and that Singapore’s reaction was too harsh.”
But I thought that PR leaders, members and supporters especially DAP and PKR always praise Singapore as democratic, not corrupted and love the country till they use a Singapore-like flag for their Sang Saka Malaya.
But now, after their supporters were punished for taking part in an illegal protest, a DAP’s MP said that Singapore is unfair.
How confused are the PR supporters that they think they can also break the laws of other country as what they are doing in Malaysia.
I think if the incident happened in Malaysia, they’ll organise another ‘Candlelight Vigil’ and more demonstration asking for freedom of speech and calling the government as undemocratic.
Below is the report by The Star:

Singapore warns Malaysian politicians not to interfere in its domestic affairs
By PATRICK LEE
PETALING JAYA: Singapore has warned Malaysian politicians to stay out of its affairs, in the light of the arrests of 21 Malaysians for demonstrating in the island republic.
A joint statement by the Ministries of Home (MHA) and Foreign Affairs (MFA) said demands by Malaysian Members of Parliament for Singapore to let off those arrested was seen as foreign interference.
“Actions to involve foreign parties are attempts to seek special treatment and to further politicise what is essentially a domestic law and order issue in Singapore,” it said in a statement on its website.
Singapore added that it had always taken a strong stand against foreign issues or politics brought into the island nation.
It added that it did not interfere in domestic affairs of other countries, and expected similar treatment in return.
Previously, Malaysians gathered at Singapore’s Merlion Park on May 8 and 11 to protest against the May 5 general election results.
They were a rendition of the Blackout 505 rallies that took place in major cities around Malaysia.
On May 11, 21 Malaysians were arrested by Singaporean police. The work pass of one and visit passes of two others were revoked. The remaining 18 are currently being investigated by authorities there.
Several Malaysians have since approached their political representatives, including DAP’s Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching, for aid.
Last week Thursday, several Pakatan Rakyat MPs also petitioned the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur for leniency against the 21.
Meanwhile, in response, Teo said she was only fighting for the one whose work pass was revoked, arguing that the person was unfairly punished.
She said that the particular person only attended one rally, adding that Singapore’s reaction was too harsh.
“It’s not that we want to interfere with (Singapore’s) internal affairs. If (the one person) only attended one protest, then that is unfair,” she said.
Teo said that eight of the 21 had approached her over the matter, and with some telling her that they accepted their punishment.
She added that there was a spate of miscommunication in the episode, and asked Singapore to re-investigate the case.
“We’re only pleading for the one person…I don’t think this amounts to interfering. They are Malaysian citizens, and we have a duty to them,” she said.

Micheal Jackson, Spiderman and Transformer At A Flea Market
On Sunday October 30, 2011, I went to a very popular flea market in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
This is my first visit to a flea market ❗
The flea market is held in the Amcorp Mall building.
It is a very interesting and fun place to visit 🙂
The good thing about having the flea market in a building is, in Malaysia it is so hot and humid.
So it is nicer inside a building where there is air conditioner, unless when there is no electricity 🙂
There are lots of used, old LPs & EPs at the flea market.
We stopped at one stall that sells a lot of Micheal Jackson‘s LP & EP and over there we saw Micheal Jackson!
There are lots of people especially at the ground floor which is the most interesting part of the flea market.
I even saw an old machine to mince meat that do not use electricity.
People also sell all kinds of other old, used things like old iron, glasses, stroller, tricycle, telephones, clocks, books and lots of things that I have never seen before 😉
On the upper floor I saw a lazy Spiderman sitting on a chair and an immovable Transformer standing beside him.
Maybe Spiderman is very lazy and only during danger he’ll stand up 🙂
And the Transformer was talking to the Spiderman and telling Spiderman not to fall asleep because he(Transformer) cannot move, so he cannot do anything when danger comes 😉
I hope that I can go there again because maybe there will be more interesting stuffs for me to see 🙂
