Don't you get it yet?

Before I start ranting, I want to make it clear that there will be no links to videos or articles as I think you should be able to do that on your own.  There are literally thousands of those links so go ahead, knock yourself out.


There will be 'evidence' both to confirm or counter my viewpoints here but this is my blog.  And I can say whatever I want.


So what is it all about then?
Thousands of people (the IGP says 6,000, the alternative and international media says 60,000) descending on downtown KL, walking their way almost randomly and finally finding a group big enough to call themselves a rally.  
So what is it all about?  Seriously.  You must keep asking yourself that.  If you don't know what it is all about, you don't know nuts!  This principal should apply in ALL aspects of your life.  Really.


So what are the 8 demands?

1. Clean the electoral role
2. Reform postal ballot
3. Use of indelible ink
4. Minimum 21 days campaign period
5. Free and fair access to media
6. Stop corruption
7. Stop dirty politics

So tell me.  Which one don't you like then?  Which of the 8 don't you like?  If you can tell me a good reason why you don't like a single one of these demands, you must tell me.  Then I can tell the world.

Moving on.  I hear some of you say that a rally is really not the way to do this.  We already have elections for every Malaysian over 21 years of age to tell the government what we like.
Errr.... isnt that the whole point?  We're saying that the electoral system itself is flawed lah!  Don't you get it?


And then when we finally got to see the King he said, "go do it in the stadium lah.  Najib also said so."  So we asked for the permit.  Guess what?  The police don't want to give one.  Uh oh.  So now the rally is illegal.  So whoever comes down, knowing full well that there is no permit, shall be gassed.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!  Hang on a minute!  What about the constitution?  What about article 10 in OUR constitution that guarantees all citizens have the right to assemble peaceably and without arms.
Hmmm....


I just saw a YouTube video of this dude (he was wearing a kopiah, quite possibly he may be an ustaz!) saying that the likelihood of the rally becoming violent is 99.9%.  Guess what?  He was right. Although he failed to predict that the violence was by the police.  


Gassed!  


Screamed at like a little child!  


Whacked at by a baton!  


Sprayed by water cannons!


The people didn't even fight back!  They just ran!  Some sat defiantly but got kicked by some Beckham wannabe.


Now I'm reading stories of people queuing to buy water at 7-Eleven and McDonalds.  There has been no police reports of looting, public property damage or cars being torched.  And of course there's the video of another dude picking up trash after it was all over.




And then there's the personal attacks against Ambiga.
First of all, that's DATUK Ambiga to you.  She was the president of the bar council.  Not quite a small fry.  
"A non-muslim woman as our leader?  No way!  We can't follow a non-muslim down this road!  She's going to take all of our bumiputra rights away!" I hear some Malays say.
First of all, don't be racist.  And don't be a bigot.
Secondly, if the cause is righteous, there really is no problem in following an "infidel bitch" (not my words, really!).  Go ask an ulama'.
Thirdly, IFC.  Remember that?  All those demands? "Ooooooh.  I gotcha now!" I hear you say.  So let me ask you this question... Do you see those demands in the list of eight?  You don't?  I wonder why?  Well, I'll tell you why.  It's because this is a totally different issue LAH!  And! And!  I can't find any of the demands of Datuk Ambiga within IFC!  Please, if you have any, let me know! But don't point me to any of these pro-UMNO blogs as your sources, ok?


Next, the personal attacks against Anwar Ibrahim.  (by the way, that's DATUK SERI Anwar Ibrahim to you, ok?).
What can I say.  He has this persona... you either like him or loathe him.  I like him.  He's looking less likely to be the next Prime Minister but hey, who in Pakatan can really be a PM?


And of course, BERSIH is much bigger than these two people.  It's about every single person who came down to KL that day, gassed or not.


BERSIH is not about any political party or a single person.


BERSIH is about a level playing field.  If Malaysians can truly voice out what we want from whom without being locked up, then we would certainly become a better country.
That's is what the Malaysian government is afraid of.  If it's a level playing field, they'll be voted out.  We have shown it in five states in the last election.  Our voice was so loud that they couldn't drown it.


BERSIH is about all the people who are sick with all the lies.




So what do we do now?


Keep wearing yellow.  It's still not against the law.
