| Ong Sing Yee with DAP's lawyer, Eric Tan |
On September 6,2012, a 19 years old girl named Ong Sing Yee has attended a press conference that was held at the DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur under the accompaniment of DAP's lawyer,Eric Tan. The incident happened on 31st of August 2012 which is Malaysia's independent day. On that day, Ong was going on a trip with her friends from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur. She joined the celebration rally with her friends in Dataran Merdeka,Kuala Lumpur later on at night. While being excited participating in the rally, she followed her friends and other youngsters in doing some controversial actions that was said to be an "improper" behavior by the law-enforcers. One week later, she surrendered herself to a police station that is located in Johor Bahru, ending up getting arrested and handcuffed at the police station.She was later "escorted" to Dang Wangi police station. Ong later attended the press conference and apologized to the "public" for behaving improperly.

| A man showing his butt with the officials' photo underneath |
From the picture above, it showed another guy who showed his butt with the pictures of Mr and Mrs Najib underneath it. So, is it an offence for carrying out such actions? Based on my personal view, I strongly believed that stepping on the PM's photo is not an offense; it can only be regarded as a disrespectful action at most.

| A photo of Taiwan's President being "attacked" by people |
The picture showed that Taiwan president, Ma Ying Jiu’s photo being "assaulted" by the people with throwing eggs and vandalizing on the photo. However, these people were NOT arrested or charged! Why? The reason is simply because Taiwan is a democratic country where human rights are given and people are allowed to express their unhappiness or opinions towards the authorities. Isn't Malaysia a democratic country? Why different people in different nations doing same types of actions are treated way differently? Has the government forgotten that Malaysia is still ruled under democracy system? How come the people are not given their basic human rights to express their feelings towards the government? In addition, it is definitely very obvious that the current Taiwan is more developed than current Malaysia and the Taiwanese are still unsatisfied, blaming Ma for not being able to bring Taiwan to another higher level across the globe. If that is the case, then how should the Malaysians feel when they are staying in a country that has government with such disabilities?
