The day after Bersih........

Well, yesterday's Bersih rally was a significant day for a lot of Malaysians whether they took part or not. Although there were 50,000 (depending who was counting) who took part, there were a lot more who wished they were there.

One thing for sure, the frustration with the Government and the police is surely growing. Personally, I feel the Najib administration as with his earlier predecessor, PM Abdullah Badawi has made the biggest error of trying to portray the cause of Bersih as bad for the country and economy.

For me, the crux of the matter is how do we want to treat our own people. Do we want to pull the wool over their eyes and think them as fools (like how the Govt owned media is trying to do) or to think Malaysians are a bunch of trouble makers (like how the police as decided before the rally) or Malaysians are a bunch that can be bullied or threatened (like how the the Govt and police are using their authority)?

Please do not do that, it is a dead end. If only, the BN started to change this mindset, I am sure a lot of middle Malaysia will go back to support them (both Malays and non-Malays). I just cannot figure what why they would want to take self destructive steps.

BN should also understand that a lot of Malaysians do not just support the opposition but are doing so because they are upset with BN. There is a huge difference! This is more so pertinent when as the incumbent, you have so much power to do good and yet only give lip service. I myself, am frustrated by this.

For the media, the old strategy of spinning is so outdated that I find it so amusing that they think they can actually get away with it. Maybe the people working there know it but their political masters are not willing to accept it? Sometimes, they themselves spinned so much that they actually get lost themselves. In addition, they are suddenly so fair and independent when analysing about other countries political situation and yet so biased in their local analysis.

For the opposition, the same criteria will be put on them if they are elected. There are no favoritism when it comes to the welfare of the country and people. For me, the opposition parties are also full of opportunists and clowns. So, we must move away from party politics and choose the right candidate who works hard for the people and country and with the right consciense.

In today newspaper, I had some good laughs at the statement by our IGP as well as some of the articles and columns in The Star. Their articles only look at one side only so how can we call it fair? 

I was touched to see so many people from all walks of life who braved danger to walk for their believe and cause. If so many young people in Malaysia have such strong believes and are willing to fight for them (peacefully), then I can say Malaysia will have a good future.

Until the next time, cheers.
