The purpose was to harass the poor girl with taxpayers’ money and they had already achieved that goal. Wira: Malaysiakini readers, no need to rejoice about the result. Releasing balloons is so insulting, especially yellow ones. Let us all pray this Hari Raya that he orders an appeal. Given the seriousness of the offence, attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali should have led the prosecution. Chehh!Ībasir: Indeed, this is a terrible travesty of justice. It's an open-and-shut case and the lazy troublesome girl should have been sentenced to six months pulling out the lallang with her teeth at the Janda Baik Girls School. It’s crystal clear that the words ‘justice’, ‘free media’ and ‘democracy’ belong exclusively to the Dearly Beloved Leader and you must apply, in triplicate, six months earlier, to the Jabatan Rambutan, for special permission to use them on yellow balloons. This magistrate claims that he studied the case carefully. These ingrates still support DAP even though their jailbird leader Lim Guan Eng is waiting to go on trial for corruption. He is obviously biased towards the opposition, against the principles of ‘justice’, ‘free media’ and ‘democracy’ that our Dear Beloved Leader Najib Abdul Razak has worked so hard to inculcate among the people, including the ungrateful Chinese and Indians who relish voting for the corrupted DAP, PKR and Amanah. Instead the regime used such resources to silence legitimate criticism, which is allowed in a democratic society as provided by our Federal Constitution.įogbom: Magistrate Mohd Faizal Ismail should be ashamed of himself. So much resources, money and time, which could have been used to fight crime. It just shows there are just too many liars around to achieve their ill objectives.Īnonymous #19098644: Clearly, a storm in a teacup. Kawak: This may be the first case in the world (or Third World?) where balloons thrown in a shopping mall is considered a criminal offence.Īnonymous 1595491436431853: I like this statement, "He chose to dismiss the event organiser’s statement that they had been angered by Bilqis’ action, as the organiser did not even notice the balloons when they were dropped." I’m glad once in a while you see justice being done. If this does not happen, Malaysia is doomed. The IGP and Attorney-General’s Chambers should take it as a lesson and not to repeat their stupidity in future.Īnonymous 568201438363345: Malaysians seriously need to understand the meaning of separation of powers of the judicial system, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) included. Even when the balloons are released in the presence of the person allegedly involved with '681 American Pies'. It is getting more and more difficult to understand what is right and what is wrong in this country.ĭont Just Talk: Simple common sense will tell you that releasing yellow balloons is not a criminal offence. Only corrupt individuals or government agencies controlled by corrupt individuals will consider balloons with the word ‘justice’ an offence. N1: I am glad that we still have a magistrate with integrity who can provide a sound judgment. But be a bit cautious, the IGP may charge you with releasing airplanes into the sky. While you are at it, you can also demand that the Pahang mufti be charged with advocating not just violence but the murder of those who think differently from him. Will he perhaps first consult the mufti of Pahang?ĪirAsia chief Tony Fernandes, now that you are a member of Amnesty International's Human Rights Committee, perhaps this is the first case you should pick up, where a young lady had to undergo all manner of harassment just because she released some balloons in a shopping mall.Ĭharging her over this act was an abuse of the judicial process and a grave intrusion into her human rights. I suppose (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar's next action would be to file an appeal since balloon-bearing terrorists should not be given free rein. The whole plot is simply too unbelievable. The world is concerned with challenges to global trade, the ramifications on the European Union before and after Brexit, and a host of other issues while in Malaysia, we have the resources of the police and judiciary directed to a young lady's lark of releasing some yellow balloons. The case is not even funny any more, it is sad, bewildering, and an alarming indication of the direction this country is heading at full speed. On the other hand, the entire sorry episode reveals the extent the police would go to please their political master. Vijay47: The ironic feature of the ‘not guilty’ decision is that it is no cause for celebration – the charge should never have been laid on activist Bilqis Hijjas in the first place. Yellow balloon woman acquitted on insulting PM charge YOURSAY | ‘The case shouldn't have been brought to court in the first place.’
