“He asked for it. He ran over a policeman and he got what he deserved.”
A high-ranking police officer at the Great Barricade of Bandar Mahkota Cheras where 21-year-old Chang Jiun Haur got beat up by 20 FRU riot policemen.
No one, not one Malaysian would ask for a beating like the one Chang Jiun Haur received for allegedly running over a policeman’s baton. Go read for yourself, the bloody details are at Malaysiakini.
Where’s the common sense? Grand Saga, the Cheras-Kajang highway operator, barricades an open access road that connects Bandar Mahkota Cheras to the highway, forcing residents to take a 6km long detour and pay an extra 90sen for every trip. How’s that?
Residents unite to tear down the illegal barrier, but police spray them with tear gas, arrest them, beat them up, and side with Grand Saga. Next, thugs appear out of nowhere (Grand Saga executive director Zainal Abidin Ali issues a statement denying involvement with the thugs) and beat residents up, up to 10 are alleged to be seriously injured. Zainal Abidin Ali is a former Dang Wangi police chief. How’s that? Any wonder why the police are helping his company beating the poor residents up?
Last night, Chang Jiun Haur who visits the site of the Great Barricade on his way home with a few friends gets bashed, for allegedly TRYING to run over a policeman. The said policeman has only a broken baton to show.
Chang Jiun Haur has everything you can see in the picture above.

The old Hermetic saying “As above, so below” is more accurately rendered “As within, so without.” What this means is: the quality of the nucleus is revealed in the quality of the cell.
A sick nucleus will result in a diseased cell. In effect, where there is dire absence of compassion, empathy and wisdom amongst the leaders of a nation, you are bound to encounter jingoism, violence, and a debilitating host of criminal tendencies. I, for one, am convinced that the dystopian state of human affairs on this backwaters planet is entirely due to the desperate dearth of enlightened rulers. Lao-Tzu once said: “The ones who desire most to rule are the least qualified.” Which brings us to the age-old question of individual sovereignty. As more and more of us attain personal enlightenment we will generate transformations in the overall field of human consciousness that will ultimately enable the so-called masses to achieve their own enlightenment. This evolutionary process may appear to be painfully slow – but in actual fact it has been going on for millions – perhaps even billions – of years. We are now at the tipping point of a radical shift. It’s only a matter of several terrestrial years – not human lifetimes – so maintain your course and we shall meet at a convergent destination!
