Of course the police will claim that they are just following the laws of illegal assembly when they detain peaceful cyclists as told in this malaysiakini article 16 Jerit cyclists arrested in Johor.
Don't the powers-that-be realise that such a heavy-handed approach to peaceful protests is a sure way to push more moderate Malaysians to vote for Opposition? Maybe we should thank the cops for the assistance!
This is another tragedy that should have been prevented but as usual no one is looking out for the ordinary folks.
According to the Star this accident Nine die, 19 injured in bus crash near Tangkak occurred at 2am and both the driver and co-driver were killed.
I will not be surprised if the driver had not been working overtime beyond permitted hours and had fallen asleep at the wheel.
If the company had breached labour laws, it should be hauled to court and relatives of victims should sue for compensation.
This tragedy shows how dangerous it is for drivers to be on the roads between 1am and 4am which is an important sleep period.
