Blogger gets free ride

Yeah, free ride to the police station.

Cops question blogger Jeff Ooi

KUALA LUMPUR: Blogger Jeff Ooi was questioned by the police for about two hours over his remarks in an interview on Al-Jazeera news channel last month.

He was questioned at the Federal Commercial Crimes Department at Bukit Perdana following a police report lodged by an unidentified person against him on Nov 19.

The report alleged that Ooi tarnished the country’s image and caused racial tension with his statements in the Nov 10 interview pertaining to a protest organised by Bersih, a coalition of opposition parties and non-governmental organisations.

The interview was subsequently broadcast on YouTube since Nov 10.

Ooi was accompanied by three lawyers and arrived at the police headquarters at 1.30pm to record his statement and left at 3.15pm.

Three other police reports were lodged against Ooi on Nov 17.

Only a blogger and yet interrogated like a criminal! for 2 hours in the police station! scary isnt it? Sommore so sueh go police station! Careful what you touch on. If you touch boobs like Paris Hilton like me it might be okay but with the government getting stricter, becoming a political blogger can be really really dangerous. But if this happens, that means blogger does not have the right to give his/her own personal opinions on their blogs?
