The DAP said a reluctant Barisan Nasional can avoid “unnecessary by-elections” by freeing all ISA detainees, including M. Manoharan who has threatened to resign his Kota Alam Shah seat because he still being held without trial.
Saying it is an election that DAP does not wish to have, party information chief Tony Pua today urged Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein to immediately release Manoharan, who has openly said he will quit due to his current circumstances.
What a silly and ridiculous idea. Next time Yang Berhormat Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim (YB BABI) is found guilty of sodomy charges, he can threaten to resign if the authorities refused to free him. The people had chosen Manoharan even though he was in jail at that time. Manoharan accepted the nomination but now he said he cannot serve the community well. As for the people in his constituency, I was made to understand that there are two assistants assisting his wife. There are no question or excuse of him for not serving the community. That was the promise by DAP when he was first elected.
Why did DAP agree on putting Manoharan to contest during the election in the first place when they knew he will not be able to effectively serve his constituents due to his imprisonment? DAP, now you have made the ploy to get Manoharan out so obvious ... should have been more subtle. DAP was using Manoharan's position as a big political pawn in their game and now they are crying wolf? Come on DAP, I think it's time you stop milking Manoharan and Hindraf for your own benefit. These Fuckatan Riot guys think they make no mistake at all and they are they are always right. If Manoharan wants to resign, let him resign. He is not the first and he won't be the last of the Fuckatan Riot's game. We are now seeing a trend and this will not stop until the next general election.
