Hot on the heel of the announcement yesterday that the Government would use the existing laws, including ISA against owners of blogs and websites found spreading news and touching on sensitive issues like religion and race, the Police has today arrested controversial blogger and owner of Malaysia Today (website) Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK) under the draconian Internal Security Act (ISA).
The Police also arrested Sin Chew Daily reporter Miss Tan Hoon Cheng (right) in Penang. She was the reporter who reported Ahmad Ismail's alleged statement of Chinese Malaysian are squatters.
While Tan was only doing her job as a reporter reporting news and events, no such similar action was being taken as yet against Ahmad Ismail, the person who made the statement.
Yesterday, show cause letters were also sent by the Home Affair Ministry to three newspaper: The Sun, Sin Chew Daily News and Suara Keadilan.
Many quarters feared this is the prelude to "Operation Lalang II". More arrests are expected to follow.
Today is a sad day for Malaysia.
p/s***Member of Parliament, Teresa Kok has been arrested under ISA tonight.
大家都知道它一定会被引用，但对它到来的速度有点惊讶。
昨天内阁刚公布以后不会关闭网页，但会引用现有的法律，包括煽动法及内安法令等来对付那些上载敏感课题如宗教和种族的网页及部落格主人，今天，著名部落格及网页新闻今日大马 （网址）主人，拉惹布特拉就被警方引用内安法给逮捕了。
同在今天，星洲日报记者陈云清（上图），因报道华人寄居论，也在槟城被警方在内安法令下逮捕了。
陈云清是以新闻从业员的职责，从实报道新闻和活动，却受到如此的对待。反之，那位发表寄居论及对华人发出警告的阿末沙列，到目前为止，仍没有受到任何的法律对付。
昨天，内政部也发出信函给英语太阳报，星洲日报和公正党喉舌公正之声，要他们给予满意的解释对某些课题的报导，不然执照将会被吊销。
很多政治人物，维权人士担心，这是茅草行动二 的前奏。相信会有更多的人被逮捕。
今天是我国悲伤的一天。
后记*** 国会议员郭素沁也在今晚，在内安法令下被逮捕。
