Our Hindraf leaders can never hope to get a fair hearing in the
courts under these circumstances, nor can any of us if we
challenge the Government.

The effect of this law is that they help put out any opposition to
the Government. Whenever the Government is challenged they

used this repeatedly to quash Opposition. The latest are the 5
Hindraf leaders and Raja Petra Kamarudin

mass media is a highly powerful instrument for control of the minds of
the people. The people can continue to be fed lies so the Government
can continue with its anti people policies. As long the judges are on
the side of the Government this violation will continue.

all the racially skewed decisions that the Government takes.
