Ironinya, sehari sebelum sambutan ini MP Sungai Siput Dr Michael Jeyakumar dan lima aktivis Partai Sosialis Malaysia yang ditahan pada 2 Julai 2011 bawah Seksyen 3(1) Ordinan Darurat 1969 kerana kegiatan menghidupkan kembali sokongan kepada perjuangan pengganas kominis telah dilepaskan pra-temph habis tahanan.
Its a mistake!
The release of Dr Jeyakumar and five others should be seen as nothing
but a mistake. The Opposition which banked on their entire political
strategy on ‘politics of hatred’ and ‘demonisation of law enforcement
agencies’ will now on never heed any warnings and/or actions by the
Police since they have proven that the Federal Government bend on
political pressures in their game of being a ‘populist government’.
