Screenshots blogger Jeff Ooi investigated

Today is the UN International Human Rights Day,but a few lawyers and activists were arrested yesterday,a black Sunday.And in 2pm just now,.Jeff Ooi,the blogger for Screenshots were summoned to Bukit Aman to be investigated by Commercial Crime Investigation Department(CCID) on several reports lodged against him.

Some of the sides that lodged the police report were Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress (KIMMA),Malaysian Islamic Consumers Association (PPIM),and Pertubuhan Seni Silat Ikatan Kalam Malaysia.The reports were lodged against Jeff Ooi a few days after the BERSIH rally,and mostly regarding about the statement Jeff had issued to Al-Jazeera.

But what amused me,is PPIM.PPIM should be an organization that concerned about Muslim consumers and protect the consumers' rights,so as Pertubuhan Seni Silat Ikatan Kalam Malaysia that should have relate itself to some culture or silat thing.But now they turn out involving themself in politics and even lodged a police report against someone who is not related to their field of interest.I can smell something "fishy" behind this.

Anyway,Jeff was fine.He safely walked out from Bukit Aman this evening.By the way,9 people including 5 lawyers and 4 activists arrested yesterday was bailed out this morning,and waiting turns to be charged in court.

I bet this is just a beginning of the government agenda to threaten and "clear out" bloggers that speak out the truth and facts.
