Around 1630 hours, Nat Tan of jelas.info and bangkit.net was arrested by 3 officers who said they were from the Special Branch. He is expected to be brought to Bukit Aman.
Nat, a prominent blogger is the founder editor of suarakeadilan.com and one of Anwar Ibrahim’s youthful officers.
You know the drill, guys – Call Bukit Aman and whack them. Otherwise see you there.
3 policemen for Nat. But not enough to fight real crime.
FU.

A PKR information bureau staff was taken for questioning by three plainclothes policemen this evening.
According to witnesses, the policemen did not provide any reasons as to why Tan was asked to follow them. They said the policemen entered the office at about 4.45pm and requested for Tan to follow them to the Bukit Aman police headquarters for questioning. The policemen also requested that Tan bring his notebook computer with him. [Full report to follow] |
Nathaniel Tan, 26, was picked up from the office of a non-governmental organisation Yayasan Aman in Petaling Jaya.

honestly don’t know who is nat tan and don’t wanna know about him/her… but when it comes to bukit aman police, that means nat tan is messing up with some serious shit here…and you don’t wan’t to mess with Bukit Aman… they are not your everyday seen policemen…
be afraid…be very afraid….
[3 policemen for Nat. But not enough to fight real crime.]
It is indeed not enough man power to fight real crime. But, “soft-cream-crime?” it is indeed got more than enough to fight for.
[…] 4.30pm) by 3 police officers to Bukit Aman. REASON – “nak cakap tentang internet”. Watch out at Elizabeth Wong’s blog for more details. Malaysiakini might have the story […]
I hope he’s alright. It’s quite different to read a stranger get to be picked up and to read a friend being pulled in.
Sheesh .. what the heck could he have done 😛

When it comes to crime cases, police are last on the scene. When it comes to working for political masters, police are first on the scene. Abdullah Badawi, stop talking rot, walk the talk, and stop hiding behind your love for your new bride. Abdullah Badawi, if you have guts, jail all your Umno Youth shit stirrers.

i got other thing to do on 8pm tonite,
i’m trying my best to be at Bukit Aman now.
take care Eli & all my friends.
I don’t understand why they arrest Nat Tan?
Special Branch of Bukit Aman?
Because he was bold? I don’t understand …
I am anxious .. I am worry .. What happened to Bukit Aman?
I have registered my support for Nat at Susan’s and my blog – time like this, we need to put aside our political leanings and support Nat.
A solidarity gathering will be held at 9.00 pm tonight in front of the Police HQ @ Bukit Aman. Come and show your support against state harassment and intimidation.
At first I was really concerned…but when it is made known Mr Nat is from PKR, Oh God! I am wasting my time here. Let him rot there, and no one will bother. Just like his big bro…Tian Chua
EW: mr dumbo – if you don’t give a rat’s ass, don’t comment lar. Gile glamor ….
No trail in this case, not even contact person or numbers. They claimed to be SB and even Bkt. Aman officially deny ever picking him up for ‘cakap-cakap pasal internet’. This is disturbing. Please keep us updated, Eli.
bah. Found out about the gathering an hour later.
Nat’s political leanings are not important, I think. The SB nabbed him not for which party he joined, but because of the role he has been trying to play in getting those with little political inclination involved in making a difference in the country, even if it is through non-political means.
I don’t care if you don’t support PKR, or if you hate it. What’s important is that if you love Malaysia and you love the principles our Constitution and Proclamation of Independence and Rukunegara all enshrine, you should be getting involved in changing the policies of this ruling regime, if not changing the regime itself.
By martyring Nat, the establishment wants to deter non-political people like some of us who have been working with him from getting involved. The last thing they need is a non-political movement working for change.
So, for those reading this, I implore you to make a small difference, in whatever way you can. They can arrest one of us, but they can’t detain all of us:

I am not in the Penisular, but if I am I will sure be there. I hope such unity of support applies to any ragtags as well.
Btw, when Badawi assumed his premiership, he initialed it unquestionably with the arrest of the ‘untouchable’ Eric Chia during the Mahathir regime, kick-off the Royal Malaysian Commission and being nicked “Mr Clean”.
Now he’s being named-called and irrefutably the lamest PM in Malaysian history. That is what Mahathir wants him to be only unfortunately that Badawi rarely serve Mahathir’s interest.
