Yes, bells are indeed ringing alarmingly 'loud and clear' from international communities on hearing of the atrocities of "comic excuses" for the many blatant arrests of citizens wanting reforms in an incompetent and corrupt electoral system in my country, Malaysia. ( read here ) 
It used to be "lit candles" a few years ago when civil society in Malaysia gathered at Sunday night vigils to abolish the 7th. century b.c. draconian law called the Internal Security Act but today the twist is 'waging war against the king' with yellow "BERSIH2" t-shirts and t-shirts depicting "Che Guevara" the icon for all things revolutionary but here mostly a fashion statement, are deemed as "dangerous weapons" and "communists" out to over-throw the monarchy. With that alone Najib's Barisan National led 1Malaysia "unity" government takes the grand prize for "comic arrests" !
But alas, I am really more ashamed of all the sneering international communities are having at our expanse and behind our backs of our bungling government's mockery of our Constitutional laws.
I've always maintained that the whole world is watching us and these dubious and cruel actions by a select few will not go unnoticed ( here ) when it comes to the crunch for 'foreign investors' and 'human rights' at large !
God help us Malaysians !
