“The police are really brutal,” opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim told reporters at the protest. “This clearly shows (the government’s) intolerance to any dissent. ... We gather here today to fight a cruel law.”

I wonder how long it will be before Anwar Ibrahim finds himself in jail again. This time for an "indefinite detention without trial". Still, it is good to see people out on the streets for this one.

Just crossed Malaysia off my list of places that I would like to visit. I could be arrested for being a non-muslim, and held indefinitely without trial.

Oh, they like tourists - it's their own people their hate. That's a great reason right there to remove it from your tourist itinerary.

"Malaysia, Truly Asia" I dont think so. Malaysia seems to be a country without basic human rights and freedoms - unless you are a Muslim Malay.
