wow!!! sorry to hear about that.

Looks like these guys don't take any prisoners. and off course KJ will say you guys started it first.

UMNO has used goons before during a get together with our ADUN about the food court and you can see who brought them there. This is a new culture in BN, MIC and UMNO take the lead. Lets not forget the cabin in Puchong, who pucnched the resident.

Er... why after the election? and yet perhaps...?

???

So anyone still thinks that UMNO has been wasting their $ to sponsor those mat rempits? The coming election will be the best time to get their ROI from the mat rempits. Welcome to the Malaysia democracy v2.0!

Glad you are alright.

We will refer back to this incident AFTER the by-election. Let's get on with it. Carry on, Jeff and co.

Beware of hidden camera. Those dimwits might just waiting for that moment/scene/angle if you happen to retaliate...

Truly Najis...

Sad this happened here in M'sia.

Thank God both of you are safe.

I heard about the incident that day. At that time I was at Bilik Gerakan PKR Simpang Ijok. They mentioned bout someone been hurt and I would never had guess that it is your fellow photographer. Sorry to hear.

Anyway what are the Pemuda UMNO's really thinking? Just last night I decided to attend a speech held by UMNO Pahang and one of the speakers was KJ himself. And he mentioned about how PKR are acting like 'samseng' during the nomination day. Well, after this incident, which he claimed he was not aware of, I hope he can revise his statement?

It was a ruthless attack on a non-violent defenseless person from a member of an uncontrolled mob. BN is real worry that Ijok is becoming just another Lunas for them. MB Selangor quickly offered (after 30 years!) Land Tiles to 482 families in squatter areas (translated perhaps to over 1000 assured votes). Even the sick IPF’s Parthiban was dragged from his Hospital Bed for a Sunday do (to get another 1000 votes). And the gall of it all, MB Selangor denied this issue of titles is “NOT a bribe to garner votes” and the UMNO Youth Chief challenge opposition to court over this “influx of “ buy-election goodies".

and Najib’s denial
“They raised issues not connected here. What connection has the Mongolian woman with the people in Ijok? What connection has Altantuya with the people here? There is no connection at all even with me, but it has been made into an issue. The allegations are baseless”
and PM Abdullah’s wish
“I hope this will not be a trend” -nn the violence and at all cost to win?
and AG, Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail responding to queries from newsmen on the impending court case:
“Don’t’ Assume. This is the trouble with you. I keep on telling you people, be fair, just look at the facts”

The disturbing trend of using intimidating tactics has to stop for the good of all.

Perhaps if the channels of communication are open, it may be a good idea for you to share some photos with the relevant people in UMNO.

Though some of the UMNO 'leaders' have themselves been rather active in the Ijok rowdy incidents going by photos available on several blogs and websites, I would like to think that the more sane and senior UMNO leaders would not like to see incidnets of violence get more nad more out of hand.

Perhaps they can, with the aid of the photos, those involved in this latest matter can be identified, and properly censured.

Perhaps too the use of intimidating people like the 'scorpion' folks complete with dark glasses and gangster-like demeanour will also be stopped.

If nothing else, Pak Lah must at least be made aware of what is going on, lest he has been too shielded from the grim realities of what has been done by BN leaders.

Keranamu Malaysia.

Maybe next time you cover an election, you should wear a helmet. Better still, the FRU shield.

JEFF OOI says: There is no had to the hari that we believe Malaysia is a peace country. So, no helmet for me. Malaysian doesn;t need that.

This reminds me of a documentary which was aired in the Discovery channel not too long ago.

When threatened by the presence of hostility, people tend to act like their long-distance cousin i.e. chimpanzees. This missile-throwing incident is nothing but our inherited instinctual behavior from our ape ancestors.

I wonder if they could walk with their hands down on the polling day.

Now it is becoming oh so clear why Putra UMNO is so supportive of the Mat Rempits. These are the guys who will eventually form the backup squad should the frontline Scorpions fall. Is this what BN has down to that they have to resort to hoolinganism, bullying and violence. To Keadilan members and supporters, do not retaliate for this is exactly what they want you to do as they can now turn around that you all are the culprits and not them. This is sickening to the core.
Quite frankly, why can't the MIC candidate, like Tan Sri Khalid, invite the photographers for a lunch, a kind of goodwill gesture? Now that the damage is done, perhaps BN has already lost Ijok.

JEFF OOI says: There is no had to the hari that we believe Malaysia is a peace country. So, no helmet for me.
Malaysian doesn't need that.

How many malaysian we have in malaysia? i see there are a lot of Malay, Chinese and Indian but very few Malaysian.

I hope someday we all will be blind, to colors. There is only one race in this land, is earthanian.

I suppose you'll keep that "offensive" weapon for the court case, Jeff. This has to go all the possible way... Someone got hurt. That's ungentlemanly behavior which is bad enough for a case. Looks like the work of hired-hands... no?

Jeff & kawan yang luka,

Sedih sebab anda telah menjadi mangsa. Tapi, tahniah kerana didikasi dan profesionalisme anda. Dan, hasilnya anda membawa ole-ole (hadiah) dari Ijok yang sangat mahal harganya.

Pilihan raya di Malaysia, sejak Lunas 2000 sudah sama macam ke medan perang, kena pertaruhkan keselamatan (kalau belum nyawa). Namun, untuk mengubah keadaan buruk ini kita mesti terus beranikan diri 'turun padang'.

"Turun padanglah menyebabkan anda hebat"
TAHNIAH & TERIMA KASIH.

It is definitely sad to see violence being used.

This has to come down all the way from the Pemuda leaders condemning this disgraceful, inhumane and lack of self-respect irresponsible act.

However, did we hear anything from the leaders ? Silent ?
For Ijokian... you may be one of the ADUN but definitely you are most important who will determine the future of what is tolerable can lead the way to show that violence is NOT tolerated and definitely not a cultural of Malaysia. You know where to cast the votes if "silent" is what you hear.

P/S - does this have to do with the brandishing of the Keris...

Hi Jeff, again,

Sorry I just read this, so please dismiss my earlier question.

This is definitely the culture you are going to get when your leader goes around brandishing a keris.

BTW, spare us the sordid details as we don't want any copycats to repeat the same shameful treatment on you on your next trip. We all know what BN is capable of.
