Yeah right

The highest-ranked officer in government shows how well he knows the terrain. Was he doing a stand-up comic act in Kuching last night?

The Star:
It’s a common tactic to cause a commotion which will lead to police taking action, and when the police take action they will use the incident to attack the police for being heavy-handed.

NST:
Maybe they are under pressure because the Barisan Nasional government has developed this once laidback state. Nothing really happened during their time.
Now they see that the state has developed in a short period and they are trying to do nasty things to tarnish the government and the police. This is their brand of politics

- AAB, datelined Kuching
btw, both The Star and NST as national newspapers couldn't even deliver basic info - what event was this?; was it a call to his bedroom at 2am?; was he having a shave at the barbers? Basics, fella.

The comments were in reference to the forced abortion of Saturday's ceramah at Pantai Batu Buruk, K Terengganu. The official story changes like a chameleon. Police now acknowledge four gunshots were fired by a constable in plain clothes, injuring two Malaysian citizens. They survived.

As usual, blogs and Malaysiakini provide more balanced coverage. And as usual, i am inclined to trust the pondans more.
