The era of repression is over

What a clown Najib was.

Not that long ago people lived in fear because you could get arrested just for making a clown drawing of Najib, tweeting something critical or dropping balloons as a sign of protest.

Well, Fahmi Reza has been acquitted (clown drawing case) and so have Zunar (tweeting case) and Bilqis Hijjas (balloon dropping case).

That was the kind of repressive regime Malaysia had becomes under Najib. There were plenty of  repressive action taken during Mahathir's time as PM and even during Badawi's time but Najib took it to a whole new, ridiculous level.

Ok, so Malaysia wasn't quite as bad as North Korea but man, it sure felt like we were fast heading there. Say something "wrong" and you might get a tweet from the IGP informing you that you are about to be arrested. Yes, that's how ridiculous it was.

Thank goodness BN was overthrown by Pakatan. Not a day goes by when I'm not thankful for the change in government.
