Today marks the blackest day ever in the Parliament.
What do we learn in Pengajian Am or Pengajian Malaysia while we're in For 6 or IPT? We learn about Parliament is a symbol of democracy,and it is a symbol of sanctity as the highest place for legislative and the voice of rakyat being heard.
But today,over 20 people were arrested,some even were arrested inside the parliament area.Parti Keadilan's Information Chief Tian Chua was arrested infront of Parliament,in a road block by police.Syafiq Sunny has some photos.
This was how Tian Chua was arrested.
While some others arrested included PAS leader,Mustapha Ali and Dr. Hatta Ramli,Suaram executive director,Yap Swee Seng,Writers Alliance for Media Independence chairperson Wong Chin Huat and Centre for Independent Journalism executive director V.Gayathry and etc.They were arrested in the Parliament after handing over the memorandum to the opposition leaders.And I was greatly in shock after knowing that the arrest had been made in the Parliament compound,it was a huge abuse and contempt to the Parliament.

These people did not come with parangs,keris or guns.They came with a memorandum,a memorandum for a cleaner election and a better Malaysia.But at the end,they were arrested.Did you see violence?No. Did you see a massive illegal assembly around?No. And yet,they were still arrested.
Well...don't cry for me,Malaysia,the truth is - These happen in Malaysia,not Pakistan or Myanmar.
50 years of nationhood,all these happened in the 50 years old Parliament.
