The authority nowadays seems very instersting in enforcing laws. It seems that, all the Malaysians, have to read up some laws eventhough you are not a lawyer, and even if you are a lawyer please read up the laws which you are not even aware of. How many will expect the Police will act on this Act and use it as a reason to arrest YB Ong? Ridiculous!!!
