			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UPDATE 1</p>
<p>I hear that the BN government, Islamic religious department &amp; police have created ridiculous demands for all organizers. But d organizer still got screwed &#8211; the religious department harassed NON-Muslims, asking them to cover-up and shit.</p>
<p>I will be calling the religious department today to verify.</p>
<p>I doubt this organizer or any other will ever do such an event again, coz d conditions Rais Yatim &amp; the government are laying down dont make sense. These conditions are probably meant to ensure that there will be no point organizing or attending outdoor events anymore.</p>
<p>Am surprised the media dont know about this yet.</p>
<p>Stay tuned on what action u can take to stop this crap. This issue is obviously less about the event but more about our future rights as Malaysians.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>UPDATE 2</p>
<p>Maybe those Islamic Affairs morons have not heard of the law or the Constitution. They&#8217;re out of line.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.pdfdownload.org/pdf2html/pdf2html.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fconfinder.richmond.edu%2Fadmin%2Fdocs%2Fmalaysia.pdf&amp;images=yes" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">THE CONSTITUTION OF MALAYSIA</span></a></strong>, upon which the goddam existence of this country is based on, in Article 12 (3) states: : &#8220;<strong>No person shall be required to receive instruction</strong> in or take part in any ceremony or act of worship of a religion other than his own.&#8221;</p>
<p>So the government fools can only watch as i stuff my face with pork n whisky, n dont try to tell me what i can or cant wear. U talk to me, I&#8217;ll only repeat these two words: FUCK OFF.</p>
<p>I aint under yor stupid jurisdiction.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>UPDATE 3</p>
<p>Have been trying to call Datuk Alias, Director, Jabatan Agama Islam Melaka, but he&#8217;s not been around. He sure owes the people an explanation.</p>
<p>Anyway, have formed a Facebook group, Malaysian Civil Rights Movement, as a means to inform others and gather support. Join:</p>
<p>http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=523078528&#038;ref=profile#/group.php?gid=89025606273&#038;ref=mf</p>
<p>And also trying to get The Star to write a feature about this issue. NST called me up today for further info.</p>
<p>Anybody who has been victimized before can get in touch with me.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>UPDATE 4</p>
<p>A letter appeared in the NST today about the Freedom Festival issue. It was edited and shortened quite a lot, but at least the word <a href="http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Tuesday/Letters/2577103/Article/index_html" target="_blank">is out</a> there.</p>
<p>Got a meeting with a journalist from The Star tomw. Hopefully sumtin comes out of dat.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>UPDATE 5</p>
<p>Malaysiakini ran a <a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/letters/106201" target="_blank">letter</a> i sent about the crap that went down at the Freedom festival, in full.</p>
