Racialism seems to the last trump card Mahathir can use to break the people's movement. Most of the time, when we are being interrogated, the officers would be endlessly lecturing us about the country will be broken up like Bosnia or Indonesia. It is clear that the regime is using the old trick in its last desperate attempt to cling to power. But I am sure that the active participation of all races in the people's struggle will smash the lies into pieces. Besides racism, violence is even more prominent among the police.
Violence is the way they express their power.
Within the walls of the lock-up, almost every individual was beaten in the process of arrest or interrogation. Forced confession is probably the only means of investigation for the police. With me, they were a bit more careful. The zip of my pant was torn in the process. To be fair, a number of officers were relatively calm and peaceful, at least to me.
