KUALA LUMPUR (May 10): Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has expressed regret over the detention of a social media user last night.

“I was informed that the authorities arrested a social media user last night. As I have stressed before, no leader in Malaysia is free of criticism,” he said on his Twitter account today.

The Prime Minister said the people were free to criticise leaders if need be, and freedom of speech was important in democracy.

“Except for threats, lies or insults to reigning monarchs, any leader can be criticised without affecting the people’s right to speak,” he said.

The social media was rocked with the arrest of social media user Firdaus Abdillah Hamzah or @pipiyapong who was believed to have insulted Tunku Mahkota Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim on Twitter. However, there has been no confirmation from the authorities.

Firdaus Abdillah’s arrest drew reactions from various parties, including political activist Khalid Ismath.

This FISH BRAIN really has no clue that we were on the brink of becoming a failed state and dictatorship should BN managed to steal GE14.

The old man may have his weaknesses but he did save us from disasters in the nick of time.

However his efforts may still be in vain though considering we have too many people like this FISH BRAIN in our country.

He's just speaking the truth, nothing more, nothing less. The truth hurts, but the soonee you accept it, the better you can improve on. Blindly following is not different than ignorance.

Dear Fish and Chips,
In total agreement with you that during Dr. M time as PM4, every single of his critics will end up under ISA!

So aren’t you glad that a different TUN M turned up as PM7 and express his regrets on arrest of social media user, fighting hard against corruption, brought charge again corrupt people, renegotiated and saved billion on overprice BN’s one sided project, restored judiciary independent, installed confident back to police force with IPCMC, curtained the excess of Royalty, appointed multi-ethnicity into important cabinet minister and many more reform agenda on the card.

I believe: “Everybody deserves a second chance, because life is too complicated to get it right the first time”- SkyLug.

Thank you

Dear Fish and Chips,
There are many paid BN Cyber-troopers, PH hater, racial agitator, Malu Apa Bossku supporters go beyond criticizing Tun M by name calling, insult him and wish him dead in social media so did you see Tun M react angrily or ask police to arrest those babablacksheep?

So be rational and do not allow your judgment/emotion be used by those dirty politicians/vested interest holders who know very well that the only way they can escape court judgment/punishment is to stir up racial hatred/PH hatred to topple the PH government and get away with their crime in plundering the national wealth. We will be proud again to be called by the world as Nation of thieves (Kleptrocracy) and all the western media have a field day in making jokes/fun about MO1 and Rosmah? Apa Malu Bossku!

Thank you
P/S: Tell me aren’t you glad to see the architect of 1 MDB is finally facing his day in court and our multi-ethnicity cabinet ministers are working hard to correct the past wrong.
Also please tell me why so many people are still supporting "Apa Malu Boss Ku" Najib, if not to save their own skin and been brain washed by propaganda of the like of babablackshep.

SsLee! Dude, Mahathir is just playing politics! Try criticizing him openly in social media and the next thing you know you end up in jail! This old bugger is the same one we had before! If he has the 2/3, i bet he will quickly bring back ISA and tell us that malaysians are not mature enough to handle democracy!

Ans : You are absolutely right,those who believe Mahathir had change are dreamer !

Dear Fish and Chips,
Tun M call spade a spade, backdoor a backdoor, crutch a crutch, lazy a lazy and Apa Malu Boss Ku call it Malay right/entitlement/privilege and no one can question it.

Just imagine if BN still in power who is paying the cost of business (De facto PM Rosmah wants her cut, Politicians want their cut too, Royalty also want their cut, civil servant and office boy who handle licensing approval also want their cut, MO1 wants the bigger cut to bribe all the dirty politicians, civil servants, judiciary, enforcement agency and then throw some crumbs to Rakyat)

Do you believe MO1 in Amani suit and Rosmah with BiJAN bag will care to go to Felda plantation, pasar malam, kampong/village, old folks home, orphanages and hospital to be there for the common people, the old, the young and the sick?

During GE14, I mange to stuck up a conversation with a former police guard of PM resident and he was so disappointed with Najib and his wife lack of empathy, arrogant/sombong never once lower down the car widow to say hello to them at guardhouse nor ask them sudah makan belum? nor ask cook to give them some food unlike all his predecessor.

Najib is having the greater show on earth to whitewash his image and endear himself to his extremist Malay supporters by playing up racial and religion issue. Only fool will believe “Najib is so well loved by malays! Because he did contribute to them! He help them! He was on the ground for them!” so please tell me stealing billion form Rakyat and throwing back some crumbs is consider as contribute to Rakyat and on the ground for Rakyat.

I rest my case. If you prepare to be fooled by MO1 go ahead while I am looking forward to see MO1 in orange suit and in jail very soon

Thank you
