"The Sedition Act does not hinder a vibrant democracy ... (it is) a preventive measure to ensure that no party would incite religious and racial tension that could jeopardise peace and stability in this country." - Foreign Minister Anifah Aman to Joseph Y. Yun, the US Ambassador to Malaysia

I'd expect my government to be firm with any outside parties that try to interfere in our affiairs. Doesn't matter if they are so powerful. Better still if these are the same buggers who lied to us about WMD, who threw suspected terrorists without trial, and then tortured and humiliated them like animals in the name of democracy. Expose their hypocricy!
Nevermind if Lim Kit Siang grovels and tries to get a pat on the back from the Americans (DAP fires Putrajaya for summoning US envoy over sedition law remark). The majority of us patriotic Malaysians aren't fooled by the "puzzled" Yun. His remarks came just days after Vice President Joe Bden's tweets:
"Amid growing US-Malaysia ties, Malaysian government’s use of legal system & Sedition Act to stifle opposition raises rule of law concerns."
"Anwar Ibrahim’s appeal gives Malaysia a vital chance to make things right and promote confidence in its democracy & judiciary."
Still think Anifah is over-reacting?
p.s. I must also congratulate KJ for responding to Biden re those stupid tweets.
