BERSIH’s gathering, you on?

It’s a peaceful march and participants are encourage to wear yellow as a show of support to the Rulers, with the objectives below:

1. The use of indelible ink
2. A cleanup of the electoral roll
3. The abolition of domestic postal voting
4. Fair access to the media

Meanwhile, Malaysiakini reported that New York based Human Rights Watch group has called on Malaysian police to allow the rally to go on.

"If Malaysia wants to count itself a democracy, it can begin by upholding constitutional guarantees of free speech and assembly. The way the system works now, only the ruling coalition can get its messages out," said Brad Adams, Asia director of the watch group.

Unfortunately, the caveat falls onto the deaf ears of police heads as well as the Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi who reiterates that BERSIH will be breaking the law if it goes ahead with the rally in KL tomorrow while the police force has taken knee-jerk reaction as early as today, starting to screen for potential participants around KL city.

People should not fear the government, the government should fear the people. As 4000 police would be deployed to the ground, together with numerous intimidation tactics by Umno leaders trying to refrain public from participating in this peaceful gathering, I reckon it has come to a stage where the Government is worried with the power evolution of the people who voted the Government into where it’s now.

Beware, Prime Minister, we know that you’re pantang dicabar, however the reality is, 100,000 of us are ready to be there to tell you in action who is your master, got it?
