It is almost heartbreaking for me to finish this letter.
Let us all pray for the release of the ISA detainees and the abolishment of this draconian law!

strange it is i see how justice works in this country. ppl who are fighting for a good cause for the benefit of the rakyat is being sent to the jail??? ppl like rpk, hindraf 5 and many other unsung heroes who fight the ruling party is sent for detention. But if you look at most of the be end leaders who are full of corruption and abuse the power like nobody's business, are called VIP's and having a cozy life & never have to suffer like the unsung heroes..STRANGE ISN'T IT????

Dear YB Tuan M. Manoharan,

When you dusk settles, you will be more resilient and "justier than just", a peoples hero. Take heart, efforts to abolish the ISA has been going on for donkey years but hey, those who graduated from ISA are heroes! So the victimized and marginalized do win in the end.

It is sad that, with you, an elected representative of dewan rakyat, still in preson, show clearly that Malaysia is still very much a third world country, no where near catching up to the first world at all.

It takes a lot of pain and sometimes the sacrifice of lives to rid any country of dictatorship, abuse of power, racial discrimination & corruption. History has documented the brave deeds of those who lead fearlessly like your honorable self. I hold you in the same light as Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Ghandi, RKP,etc.
Thank you for your sacrifice and my heartfelt support for you and your family. We will win!

Namaskaram Aiyah.. Shriman Manoharan Malayalam..Prathanam parivike..and our prayers are always with you, and infact our daily poojas & slokahs are always infused to you and to the other four along with many who're in for no apparent reasons.

Needless to say Mr. Monoharan, the present ruling government had thrown everything they can to dampen the mood to make it as though you and the other four are linked to threat and national security of the nation. It's nothing but pure political hogwash, and wants to silence you and the remaining four to make sure our voices will never be heard. This Yemenese descendent who calls himself as Syed Hamid Albar is orchestrating everything within his power to make sure you and the other four along with many will have endure with his wrath and anger. A true Yemenese with Negroid bloodlines which is part of his ethnic makeup does not even dare or think to such foolishness, and yet this Albar wants to make sure his hate and anger will never be subsided in any time soon.

We're Indians and it does not matter which part of Bharat our ancestry is from, and is the linking factor for all of us to be in with you at this troubled time. We pray, and stand firm with you, and looking forward for the change in guard where this Syed Hamid Albar have to go for crash course what is to be a true Yemenese. Meantime our prayers are all ways with you and your family.

DURING THE LAST GENERAL ELECTIONS, WE THE RAKYAT HAS GIVEN PAKATAN RAKYAT A MANDATE TO RESOLVE MALAYSIAN POOR GOVERNANCE. ALTHOUGH THE PR DID NOT FORM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WE THE RAKYAT DID OUR DUTY TO THE BEST WE COULD AT THAT TIME.

NOW IT IS THE DUTY OF PR TO FIGHT FOR THE RAKYAT. WHAT MORE DO THEY WANT FROM THE RAKYAT ANYMORE. STREET GATHERINGS? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

WHY IS ANWAR SO QUIET? HE PROMISED THE RAKYAT A LOT OF THINGS BEFORE THE GE. WHERE IS HE? WHY IS HE NOT DOING ANYTHING? HAS HE CHICKENED OUT OR IN THE PAYROLL OF BN? WE WANT HIM TO COME OUT, GET THE 30 BN TO CROSS OVER AND GET RID OF BN ONCE AND FOR ALL.

WE THE RAKYAT HAS DONE OUR DUTY.. NOW IT IS FOR PR TO PAY BACK!!!

What PR can do at present is limited as with th votes they have in Parliament they can only prevent arbitary contitutional amendments as BN have done in the past as BN no longer has the two thirds needed to amend the constitution.
We did not give them the mandate to rule at Federal level - yet. Getting "kataks" to give PR the majority to rule at Federal would not be wise - unless these "kataks" resign and PR win enough seats through such by-elections to control Parliament.
PR has the oppurtunity to show that PR governments in the 5 states are positively different and the rakyat can them trust PR to have the mandate at Federal level.

YB Manoharan,

Though you may be in prison, but your spirits of fighting against injustice is honourable and great for all malaysian. I was vocal when you guys were detained in Taiping. But my guess is that it is a matter of time things will be transformed.

MAKKAL SAKTHI

Your detention is not in vain. The powers that be, and also those who walk the corridors of power wish you all the best, and that your detention is a lesson to us all. We Malays think we own the country. UMNOHOOLIGANS have further tried to create panic and injustice to Indians after HINDRAF. But we all know, by you and the rest being detained longer, is only the tip of the iceberg to dismantle and rid ourselves FOREVER of UMNO and the bastards up there.

SELAMAT LAH MALAYSIA
MAKKAL SAKTHI

YB Manoharan,
While undeniably ISA is a draconian law, nevertheless life is full of challenges. Partcularly so when you are in detention and yet you need to serve the contituents. Under these circumstances, do your very best and handle the constituents and issues together with your friends. counterparts and party members without finding any reasons for not providing the service. Remember, this will prove your worth whether you are in detention or otherwise.

First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS on your appointment as a worthy YB!!!
Actually, the Malaysians and the world should know that the Indians were born to fight and sacrifice alot for others so all could live a life better!!!.The Unions were set up by the Indians,so all could work with some dignity.If you just take a look at almost of the NGOs',who are the ones who selflessly and dedicatedly work round the clock? Please understand that The Indians are the emotional kind who will easily fight for others without any ulterior motives unlike some people who just wanna sit pretty as presidents,Chairmen and DGs'!!!
All these years they were the front people who were willing to challenge the strong and the powerful at their cost,sometimes they even get black-listed in their organizations.Once I was offered a job at one MNCs',The MD (British guy) made sure that I or my family was not involved in any union activities.Im sure if wd have had said "yes" probably a bye for me!!!.YB Mano is one of the example, so please understand and release him to serve his people.He will be the best of the best YBs'

YB Mano,

The longer they keep you in Kamunting, the lesser chance you will have to serve your constituent. What a pity.

But never mind. No problem! We will make sure you will have another chance to serve us on the next general election. We will definitely vote you in for another term so you can make up lost time.

Best wishes from members of the Hwee Ann Association and all the Telok Gadong folks who voted for you!
