Walk of Freedom For Tan Hoon Cheng

Last night (Friday, Sept 12, 2008) Sin Chew Daily senior reporter, Tan Hoon Cheng was detained under the Internal Security Act. It was a total surprise for nearly everyone.

At least 200 people gathered at the Penang Police HQ, off Penang Road to show full support for her. Most Penang-based reporters were there, more than 100 Gerakan leaders and members, some DAP YBs, Suaram members and a handful of MCA members. Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng was also there. Gerakan leaders that were there was Chia Kwang Chye, Teng Hock Nan, Teng Chang Yeow, Cheang Chee Gooi, and many others. Nearly all Penang Island Gerakan division youth chairmans were there to lend moral support to her.

Most political parties irrespective of political divide wanted her to be released immediately. Mr Chia Loong Thye a lawyer and also a Gerakan local leader provided assistance thru the Bar Council lawyer Mr Edmund Bon who is also the chairman of the Bar Council Human Rights Committee.


Gerakan leaders and other BN components leaders spare no effort to secure her immediate release. A petition for her release was initiated by Gerakan, this was followed by a Walk of Freedom from Gerakan HQ to Sin Chew Daily Penang Office.

You should have just walked another 100 yards to the UMNO hq and thrown in your quit BN letter.

You bunch of hypocrites! Helping to prop up a government that has gone bad and at the same time shedding crocodile tears.

You are no better than those who ordered her detention in the 1st place!

sicko,

What riot? Malaysians today are not so stupid to give you the riots that you fear.

Dangerous maybe but use your brain la, no riots if only one side wants to fight and the other side use words.

Why you scared? Is it because your brain is the same size as those who want to riot?

Think man!!!
