No to ISA

On the record, TH Koay and myself were the organiser for the "No to ISA" press conference held on Sunday 10.30am at the junction of Campbell Street and Penang Road.

Koay was invited to the Police Station on Saturday night. I accompanied him to meet up with the ACP of Special Branch.

There were heavy presence of police - about 20 uniformed and another 20 plain clothes policemen.

The one-man demonstration rally continued from 10.30am to 5pm. At least 30,000 Penangites have passed by that road at that time and they would have noticed our messages.

I was standing next to YB Chong Eng and surrounded by PAS supporters. The small DAP group (6 of us including Koid Teng Guan, Tan Kang Chung, Michael Tan and Guna) were allowed to enter the compound of the police station.

After obtaining the necessary information, we brief the PAS members and media on what transpired. Mat Sabu was arrested and was sent immediately to Kuala Lumpur. 10 PAS members were arrested under section 186 Penal Code - obstruction the police from carrying out their duties while arresting Mat Sabu.

Mat Sabu is the National Vice President of PAS. I met him at the Bersih Ceramah two months ago in Penang. I delivered a speech on electoral reform then.

I met the 10 PAS members who were detained at the lockup.

We left after the PAS lawyer arrived from Ipoh.

丹絨武雅海灘留石沙 填海停工應善後

As reported in Sinchew Jit Poh

（檳城）民主行動黨檳州宣傳秘書黃漢偉律師說，市政局在土地局發出停工令後，應該諭令有關人士作善後工作，而非讓石沙留在丹絨武雅海灘一帶。

他說，這個由市政局發出臨時地契，供興建遊艇停靠區的填海地帶，在填海已開始發展後，卻被土地局發出停工令，已影響了鄰近的海灘，有關的填海地也就變得沒用。

“較早前，我們召開新聞發佈會後，鄧章耀說檳島三地的填海計劃都是原本沒有海灘的地方，是不正確的。這裡（丹絨武雅）原本是有一個公眾可到的海灘。”

他週五（30日）在丹絨俱樂部後的海灘，召開新聞發佈會時，這麼說。陪同出席者包括檳州組織秘書鄭雨週。

他說，至於鄧章耀所謂的“沒有任何人可以擁有海灘”的說法，卻因為在市政局的條例下，通往海灘的小徑只需10尺，太狹窄了，他認為應該增至20尺，以讓車輛可以出入，才能達到目的。
