SUNGAI PETANI, March 23 — Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) forces fired tear gas and used water cannons tonight on thousands gathered at a ceramah in Bukit Selambau just as Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was beginning his speech.
At about 10pm, the FRU engaged the crowd gathered in an open field in front of a shophouse that is being used by PKR as its operation centre for the April 7 by-election.
The opposition leader and other Pakatan Rakyat leaders were holed up in the operation centre until nearly 11pm as police continued breaking up the crowd outside.
According to PKR’s Selangor executive councillor Dr Xavier Jeyakumar, those arrested include fellow party member Zamri Yusuf who is a Senator from Kedah and Anwar’s chief of staff Ibrahim Yaacob.
He added that the crowd of thousands dispersed into nearby housing areas with the FRU giving chase as they continued to fire tear gas.
Others arrested include aides to Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak and S Manikumar, the candidate for the Bukit Selambau by-elections.
According to PKR party workers, about 50 people were detained and taken to the police headquarters in Kuala Muda.
“I am so angry that the FRU used water cannons and tear gas on 5,000 people gathered to hear DSAI speak,” Dr Jeyakumar stated.
He also told The Malaysian Insider that there were rumours that the authorities wanted to detain the PKR de facto leader.
Other PKR sources have also told The Malaysian Insider of such rumours since last week when Anwar first hit the campaign trail for the three simultaneous by-elections in Bukit Selambau, Bukit Gantang and Batang Ai.
Anwar did however manage to leave the scene after 11pm after being escorted by his security personnel to his car.
Jeyakumar also said that many were injured in the attack as the crowd were ambushed from the back.
The police and FRU also dismantled the tents, confiscated the rostrum and all the PA equipment from the site.

Tindakan ini bermakna kedua-dua media ini tidak boleh membuat sebarang liputan terhadap peralihan kuasa dari Datuk Seri Abdullah kepada Perdana Menteri baru hujung Mac ini.
Siasah Newspaper:
Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) hari ini menggantung permit suara rasmi PAS, Harakah dan suara rasmi PKR, Suara Keadilan masing-masing selama tiga bulan berkuatkuasa serta-merta.Surat arahan yang dikeluarkan oleh Setiausaha bahagian Unit Kawalan Penerbitan dan Teks Al-Quran KDN Che Din Yusoh itu tidak memberi sebarang alasan tindakan tersebut.Arahan itu telah difaks kepada pejabat Harakah dan pejabat PKR hari ini.Surat kepada Suara Keadilan dialamatkan kepada Presiden PKR, Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail dan difaxkan kira-kira 5 petang ini yang berkuatkuasa serta-merta."Dukacita dimaklumkan bahawa kementerian ini telah membuat keputusan untuk menggantung permit penerbitan akhbar Suara Keadilan selama tempoh tiga (3) bulan berkuatkuasa serta-merta," surat KDN kepada PKR dipetik.Tindakan ini bermakna kedua-dua media ini tidak boleh membuat sebarang liputan terhadap peralihan kuasa dari Datuk Seri Abdullah kepada Perdana Menteri baru hujung Mac ini.Turut terlepas adalah pilihan raya di Batang Ai, Bukit Gantang dan Bukit Selambau 7 April nanti. Isu terakhir Harakah menyiarkan di muka depannya tentang kuasa Yang Dipertuan Agung untuk melantik orang lain dari bakal presiden Umno, Datuk Seri Najib sebagai PM.Suara Keadilan juga membuat berita mengenai perkara yang sama iaitu Abdullah akan kekal sebagai PM.Sejak kebelangan ini Harakah dan Suara Keadilan sering dirampas di merata-rata tempat oleh KDN dengan alasan dijual di kedai-kedai akhbar sedangkan syarat telah ditetapkan ia boleh dijual kepada ahli sahaja.Sebelum mendapat permit dari KDN tahun lalu, Suara Keadilan telah sekian lama berada di pasaran tanpa sebarang permit.Harakah pula mula mendapat kembali permit dua kali seminggunya tahun lalu selepas kuasa dua pertiga BN hilang dalam Dewan Rakyat di samping kehilangan lima buah negeri kepada Pakatan Rakyat.Sejak Mac 2000 permit Harakah telah dijadikan dua kali sebulan berbanding dua kali seminggu sebelum itu.

OPPOSITION NEWSPAPERS ARE BANNED
OPPOSITION NEWSPAPERS ARE BANNED
FREE SPEECH ARE BANNED
BUT THE RAPE AND PILLAGE CONTINUES......
The people will rise up and all these GESTAPOS will be put on trials for crimes against the people.History has shown us that eventually the people will be the judges.These Gestapos and Kempeitais survived so far as the people are reluctant too mild-mannered to show their anger overtly but with the brutalities that had been dished out on the people, an uprising is just a matter of "WHEN" and not "IF". The government of the day has run out of ideas in how to adminster the country and has resorted to high-handed tactics in the hope of quashing all oppositions. FAT HOPE indeed !!!!
The anger and despair of the people will peak and hell will breaks loose but the coming generations will be thankful that a stand was made on their behalf in the country's hour of need in salvation.

Malaysia menyaksikan satu lagi kitaran kekerasan dan penindasan dibawah penguasaan Najib Razak. Belumpun secara rasmi dilantik sebagai Perdana Menteri, beliau sudah pun sanggup bertindak keras dan zalim ke atas rakyat.
Semalam, perhimpunan yang dihadiri 10,000 rakyat terdiri daripada pelbagai bangsa, telah dihujani dengan tembakan gas pemedih mata serta semburan air kimia oleh pihak polis. Kejadian tercetus hanya selepas beberapa minit saya memulakan ucapan diBukit Selambau. Dalam suasana gawat tersebut beberapa orang telah ditahan termasuk Ketua Staff Pejabat saya dan beberapa Ahli Parlimen serta seorang pegawai kanan Menteri Besar Kedah.
Bagi menghalalkan tindakan zalim serta pencabulan hak rakyat malam tadi, pihak berkuasa telah mengistiharkan perhimpunan tersebut sebagai haram. Jelas ianya satu pencabulan undang-undang dimana perhimpunan tersebut telah diadakan di dalam kawasan milik persendirian.
Malam semalam kerajaan yang kini di bawah pengaruh Najib Razak telah menggunakan kuasa kuku besi bagi menyekat kebebasan dan hak rakyat. Semalam juga “Suara Keadilan” dan “Harakah” telah digantung permitnya oleh Menteri Dalam Negeri tanpa alasan yang jelas. Apa yang berlaku mutakhir ini mengingatkan kita kepada sikap dan ciri pemerintahan zalim yang pernah diamalkan beberapa tahun yang lalu, di mana pasukan polis bertindak seumpama gerombolan penceroboh. Media pula terus ditekan dan sesiapa yang ingin menyuarakan ketidakpuasan hati mereka disekat kebebasannya daripada melaporkan kebenaran melalui ugutan penahanan dan sebagainya.
Institusi pentadbiran negara dijalankan dengan cara melanggar garis sempadan undang-undang oleh mereka yang berkepentingan demi mempertahankan kekuasaannya.Sekiranya negara kembali ke era tersebut, ianya akan menyebabkan kemusnahan ke atas negara dan masyarakat antarabangsa pula akan mengecam tindakan zalim tersebut.
Ini juga jelas menunjukkan bahawa tawaran untuk berkerjasama itu adalah merupakan helah Najib semata-mata. Dua minggu lagi Malaysia sekali lagi berdepan dengan 3 pilihanraya kecil. Buat pertama kalinya kesemua pilihanraya kecil itu dijalankan serentak, penipuan dan pengundi hantu akan diupah oleh kerajaan UMNO-BN bagi menewaskan gagasan pembangkang. Namun demikian, kita tetap yakin bahawa rakyat Malaysia akan menyertai referendum ini,sama seperti yang telah ditunjukkan diPermatang pauh dan Kuala Terengganu dimana rakyat menolak penindasan yang diamalkan kerajaan sekarang. Gerakan perubahan kearah pembaharuan di Malaysia akan terus mara kehadapan dan menemui kejayaan

—PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—
24th Mac 2009
A phase of repression descended on Malaysia as Najib Razak seizes control of the reins of power, even before officially taking over as Prime Minister, and unleashes his brutality and violence on the people.
Last night, a rally of about 10,000 people from all races was mercilessly attacked by the police with tear gas and acid-laced water cannon minutes after I began my speech in Bukit Selambau. Scores of people were arrested including my chief of staff, MPs, and senior aides to the Chief Minister of Kedah.
To justify their iron hand tactics and blatant violation of the people’s fundamental liberties, the police have claimed that the rally was illegal. These are baseless claims as the event took place on private property and adhered to the rules.
Last night’s show of brute force is but the latest in a series of harsh and dictatorial action by the government under Najib against the people. Also yesterday Suara Keadilan and Harakah were banned by the Home Ministry without any justification. These events only too starkly remind us of the cruel and authoritarian style of leadership under which Malaysians suffered for many years. The police force has become a band of marauders. The press is muzzled and those who speak the truth about the abuses carried out by the ruling clique are arrested, beaten and bullied.
The institutions of governance serve the interests of an elite clique which will exceed all boundaries of the law to retain power. A return to that era would be a disaster for this country and people of conscience around the world should condemn these unscrupulous actions.
It is quite clear that despite his superficial offers for cooperation and bipartisanship, the olive branch which Najib Razak extended to the opposition early this month is really a dagger in disguise.
In two weeks Malaysians will once again return to the polls in three important by-elections. Once again all forms of trickery, cheating and bribery will be employed by the UMNO led BN government in order to defeat the opposition. But we are confident that Malaysians will register a referendum, much like they already have done in Kuala Terengganu and in Permatang Pauh, against the brutal and inhumane policies of the government. The movement for change and reform in Malaysia will push forward and will succeed.
