Malaysia arrests another blogger

update: "The policemen were nice enough to play along with us when we had to tell our four children that their father was going to KL for work." - from Nuraina A. Samad, who spoke to Sheih's wife, Bariah, here.

Original posting:

Sheih Kickdefella. Police arrested blogger Syed Azidi Syed Abdul Aziz a.ka. Sheih Kickdefella in Kota Bharu, Kelantan today. He is believed to have been taken to Bukit Aman, KL.
The arrest is said to have been made under the Sedition Act.

No further details are available.

Sheih told me last night he was told the police were looking for him. "Someone who claimed to be a cop came to the office. I missed them by a whisker".

He said he was not going to run from the law. "If they ask me to go to the police station, I will go."

Sheih's blog. h e r e.

  10. Rocky,
    Heard from his wife that they detained him under the Sedition Act without any warrant of arrest.
    It seems blogging is a dangerous activity in Malaysia.

    Desperado ni. This is what I call total desperation and an unmitigated foolhardy. Must they fear like that though they say "they won't meet him"? Must they detain poor, hapless bloggers who are simply writing their own stories? Ish! When will the Utusan unrefined bigots hered to Kamuting? Subhanallah!

    Our polis seem to have too much time on their hands. They complain short-staffed when crime rates rise but have enough staff (like 10) when it comes to arresting the ordinary folks. What's wrong with our country?

    All because UMNO appointed Pak Benggap Lah as their Leader to run Malaysia!

    The authorities did not use the ISA to detain him, did they?

    Just a few days ago someone had gone on record assuring that no further arrests would be made using the ISA.

    Looks like the heat is on bloggers now after the ISA fiasco.

    BN will keep up the pressure for the moment, perhaps till the UMNO divisional meetings are done, to create the perception of control.

    Btw put up another pic of Sheih lah bro. Yang hang letak gambaq dia pegang senapang tu apa hal? Macam nak cari pasal je.

    Sheih's made a grave mistake. He acknowledge his deed but showed no remorse. He not only refuse to apologise but took them on.

    PAS sympathiser, Bakaq Penarik Beca made a similar offense but is humble enough to his mistake and poor judgement to apologise for his actions.

    But Sheih was damn arrogant and plain stupid. I pity for writers/bloggers/journalist under duress for such offence.

    Remember the law may seemed immoral to some, but it is legal!

  37. Rocky,

    Truthfully, I prefer your blog as compared to Kickdefella's. You are more level headed.

    I am not in support of Kickdefella's detention. And I hope that Kickdefella will not be detained for long.

    BTW, chedet.com surpassed the your blog's number of hits today. But I think Mahathir also likes reading your blog. Your blog really rocks!

    This is no more about flying the flag upside down or what the government term as racial sentiments.

    This is about the survival of UMNO. The TRUTH hurt them so much that they are now looking for people to spread their arm of fear.

    Q.Last time when racial sentiments were played, they cared not, why now?

    A. cause now they don't even have the support from the people that supported them before because we, Malaysians have learned through the hard way of their lies and deception.

    Now is not the time to be fearing them, but to fight to free us from all the bull**** of racialism, corruption, and FEAR.

    Hold you hands together brothers and sister, and pray, hold true to the principle of Good and we might, with all our might, steer ourselves out of this dark moment.

    Malaysia for Malaysians (not Malays,Chinese,Indians or what they call us).

  42. Bro.Danalli...I have warned him few times...but he will not listen.
    What matters most now...is how to get him out.
    Few of us are discussing....and bottom line is ...to raise funds for bail.
    I have committed RM500.
    I think maximum should be RM5000.
    I believe Rocky and Amin Iskandar are planning things.
    Tomorrow..they will go to Bukit Aman.
    It is the opinion....Sheih will be locked up for at least three night...four days...just like Bakaq...then released on bail.
    Seriously speaking...I don't think Rocky has anything to worry about.
    If he is next....then few should follow him.
    Burt if UMNO is basing on popularity and influential bloggers....that is against them...then..yes Rocky can be next.
    I am sure Rocky is smart enough to understand that.
    Lets hope not.

    I suggest we all shut up for now and go offline for a long time. Go watch some dvd haram or play chess or hang out at the local mamak ke. There's no such thing as total freedom of speech lah. The police and govt fear no one, least of all bloggers and they may have good reasons to arrest people, so let's not think they're wrong to do it. That's being too naive and ignorant. I bet those with the upside down flags on their blogs are quivering in their shoes tonite. Apa nak buat Sheikh dah nasib badan you memang biadap. Pity your kids. Good luck

  45. Dear Rocky and bloggers,

    I am writing to you as a person (fellow malaysian) to another malaysian.

    I don’t expect you to agreed, disagreed or even reply at all. But I do hope to have 5 minutes of your time to read this email, the rest is up to you.

    We (as simple citizen) are appalled by the current economic and political situation of our country. Even more important what the future holds for our children and country. We will not be a bystander and let the event takes it own course. I believe that each individual person can make a different. Kudos to what the different Malaysian Bloggers have achieved so far.

    I would like to believe that time is ripe for collaborative politic (back to basic) where power is at the hand of each individual and not government or political party. The traditional power pyramid will/have being inverse - where the bottom of the
    pyramid yield sufficient power to lead the ‘top’ of the pyramid. This should be/is the essence of democracy.( however, the flaw of democracy is that it is never fair, because it assume we are all playing at a level playing field. which is not always the case….)

    Anyway, today this era is made possible by technology (internet), a growing number of emancipated’(maturing mind and knowledge)’ of citizen and current desperate’ situation. This is marked by the growing group of blogger/activist.

    However, as you know the challenge of such collaborative interaction is that each individual are free to do what they want/believe in. Hence, the challenge is to ‘focus’ or orient the different effort to ensure that the ‘majority’ is working together/toward ONE similar goal.

    To cut it short, I believe the time is ripe to structure such effort to channel this ‘energy’ (reduce the waste of energy from each individual) to build the future of Malaysia. I believe we can do this by ‘creating’ a formal/informal group that do not have any political, race or religion biases with only ONE objective that is move the country forward. Where the support/legit is so important that it can influence the direction of the country (or any government or political party for that matter). This can be some sort of think tank or NGO(what ever make sense) where ideas, new policy, project are debated/voted/clarify - by the individual citizen (free from any hidden agenda, etc..).

    The idea is to start this at a grass root level with the blogger community. I will send the same each to different active blogger.

    Let me know your thoughts on this and whether you are interested to collaborate to take this further? write to malaysiafuturenow@gmail.com

    Denny

  49. I risk antagonising the majority here but I must say this: If it's under the Seditions Act, with bail given and NOT the ISA, then I feel we should remain calm for now and not over-react.

    (Yes, I know it's not me being detained here. And YES, I've been detained before too, thank you, so I KNOW what it feels like)

    For there will be a trial here, unlike ISA. But I must say there's another "added value" for the government in doing this, trial or not: Intimidating and scaring other bloggers and journalists.

    BTW, as for Rocky Bru (Ahirudin): I don't think you'll be detained, don't worry. I feel you have not been partisan, and was/is "fair enough" with your posts.

  54. Call him what u may but Kickdefella has raised legitimate issues.

    However I am quite surprised when he blogged about hidden hands playing their role in blanking the news about Tuan Guru Nik Aziz's comments on the so called "personal views" of Mustapha Ali.

    Apart from that, I love his photography...especially on the collection of Tuan Guru Nik Aziz.

    I did not see any sensitive issue that he raised in his blog and he is entitle to his opinions as he never demands the readers to accept his opinions.

    In fact he use his blog to raise awareness to the needy around us when he launched charity drives to help the poor...
