BERSIH rally is happening today in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
I’m following the updates from Zan Azlee, my former lecturer; right now the streets in Kuala Lumpur are empty.
People are concerning this matter seriously. Everyone is waiting for the outcomes on what will happen next.
My colleague has decided to go to BERSIH rally, although he’s not sure whether he will be able to reach the venue, because the police have blocked some roads on the way to the city.
I think those who are involved in today’s rally well educated enough to think about this country’s future. Therefore, I am sure this rally is not simply random thoughts resulted from dissatisfaction.
Yes, BERSIH is really happening.
I was in Jakarta on May 1998, watched my father and my sister struggle to find a safe way to go home.
BERSIH reminds me of that tragedy; although I never wanted the people here will face the same tragedy like we had in 1998.
I hope this rally will ended peacefully.
I hope there will be no police wants to act like a “hero” and start to beat the crowd or whatsoever.
I hope this BERSIH rally will make some changes in Malaysia politics. I think this is the time for Malaysia to grow up.
Good luck,
No matter which color do you choose for today,Yellow or Red are the same. In the end, it is all about your home country.
Take care
