yellow power awakens

what a day! what a day of yellow power! streets were off limits, many were 'house arrested'...what's gotten into this country??? thousands of supporter rallied down the streets with enforcers on the opposite side...tear gas fired, chemically laden water sprayed...the rain came...so did the sun. all in the name of fighting for a fair electoral system.


i have never felt so much emotion for my country until now...as a matter of fact, i couldn't be bothered about the government nor the political arena and fiasco these clowns are showcasing. i haven't exercised my rights to vote in the past two general elections. but the events of july 9 opened my eyes...it woke me up from my dumbness for not exercising my rights...what a fool i've been. the next g.e., i'm game on. i will be heading back to exercise my constitutional rights.


do i agree with public rallies? hell no...i'm sure there are alternative avenues to bring the message across. over the past week, talks of this rally has been exchanged in social networking sites promoting the motion that bersih is mooting. d-day arrived...streets into the city locked down...still, supporters made their way through. a supposedly peaceful walk pass turned ugly when enforcement officers felt threaten by the citizens and started firing tear gas at the demonstrators. trucks with water canon sprayed water (supposedly chemically laden water) to break groups of congregation. for goodness sake...you guys are the one with the weapons...these demonstrators carry nothing. now this is definitely questionable...why so defensive when you have nothing to hide?


no violence...claimed the enforcement during a press conference post rally. but videos from various sources tell a different story. come on...who do you think you're fooling? such disgust...such disgrace to be lying and expecting the citizen to be dumb enough to believe you?? boy...that was your biggest mistake!!! a post pr activity by the prime minister...media showcasing only key messages that the government identified...once again, who you kidding huh mr. prime minister??? what a mockery this is...


i remember meeting abo back in may when singapore was going to have her general election...apparently it was compulsory for the citizens to vote otherwise a fine would be imposed...we don't get that here...as a matter of fact...you are sometimes given money aka "wang ehsan" to vote for a specific party. so, i guess the time has come...to truly appreciate and support the thousands who rallied on july 9...to fight for a fair and justified electoral system.



an awakening has erupted amongst malaysians...not just in malaysia, but a global pandemic where malaysians are present. a sense of awakening unites malaysians worldwide...the quest for liberty ignited.


i respect my country, i love my country but it doesn't mean i agree with how it's run by the people who has been entrusted to do so. therefore, to all malaysian politicians, i dedicate you our national flower (in yellow of course) to please reflect on the national spirit and do what's right...or maybe not do anything at all...your citizens have awaken.
