| Where were the batons during Bersih 3? Posted: 04 May 2012 10:25 PM PDT  This image of a cop defending himself - and public peace - with his baton has stayed on my mind since Labour Day, when the picture was taken during an Occupy Wall Street demo in New York. Read here. I was wondering why our "riot" police during Bersih 3 did not look this impressive. Someone pointed out that our cops did not have their batons. The IGP had instructed batons to be taken away form every policeman covering Bersih 3, it seems. Betul ke? No can do, IGP. Next time you want to send in your boys to meet a mob, equip them with the basics at least. No wonder the cops used their legs and fists, just like the Bersih thugs.   |
| Tunku Aziz to Bersih organisers: "You are no angels" Posted: 04 May 2012 10:07 PM PDT Tunku Aziz had warned all of them. The DAP newcomer said Bersih 3 would lead to mob violence. They wouldn't listen. They gave him hell. They told him to stay at home and play with his grand kids. DAP big boss' son Lim Guan Eng found it apt to openly reprimand the old man, told everyone that the statement by the Melayu had "embarrassed" the party. Then the mob did get violent. Like all mass street protests anywhere in the world, things got out of hand. Now Tunku Aziz tells Bersih organisers: you guys are no angels so don't blame others for the violence that erupted during Bersih 3. Orang Melayu kata: Itulah, tak dengar cakap orang tua-tua. Listen to your elders. Respect them. Read The MOLE's interview with a defiant Tunku Aziz, post Bersih 3.0 Another old man - THE old man - has just written about Bersih 3. He said if elections in our country were not clean and fair, how is it that the ruling party has never been able to wrest Kelantan from PAS? Why did it lose Sabah? Penang in 1969 and again in 2008? How could it lose FIVE STATES and the two-thirds majority just in the last general elections? 13. So why the demonstrations and the demands for the elections to be clean and fair? Well should the opposition lose in the States or at the Federal levels, then one can safely assume that the opposition will claim that the Government had not conducted the elections fairly, that the Government cheated. 14. There would then be more demonstrations, perhaps bigger and more violent ... Read Dr M's Bersih 3. Sometimes we must listen to our elders. Stupid Stupefied. Still on Bersih 3, you've got to watch and listen to this exchange between one of the Bersih 3.0 leaders ( who is now on the police WANTED list) and an expat journalist. Footage courtesy for Dr Novandri. Serve the yellow* bitch right. And so much for Bersih respecting us journalists! Good for the dude. I hear he is an expat who's been a photographer for one of the foreign wire agencies. Not really sure what went on earlier but the Malaysian woman spewing expletives and racist remarks was totally stupefied by his response in crisp Bahasa Melayu. I suspect she can't hold a conversation in BM. * reference to t-shirt colour, not skin  |
