WOW !!!!!!

Congratulations Bersih and the 40000 people who rallied at KL !! Never at any moment of yesterday did I expect the memorandum to successfully arrive at the gates of the Palace . Though I did hope that history is created .... and it did ! Amazing crowd ...

Anyway , I believe many more could have attended if not for the road blocks , arrests and traffic jams be it in non-KL states or inside KL . These could have put the protestors on a step back ... and also with the pouring rain over there ... it might demotivate people .

Rain huh .... cloud seeding again ? Or is it really natural rain yesterday ? Hmm . I hope no one was hurt as it was meant to be peaceful though illegal . Perhaps Pak Lah should not be too confident about going straight into elections instead of listening to problems like this .

You never know what to expect from all voters since there exists a medium of communication called Internet and since there exists a growing knowledgeable society .

But then , of course our friend Datuk Seri ZAM has the statistics of yesterday's event . Allow me to pick from Agendadaily.com



Dalam perkembangan berkaitan Menteri Penerangan Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin menolak dakwaan stesen televisyen satelit Al Jazeera bahawa polis telah bertindak keras terhadap petunjuk perasaan.

Beliau memberitahu stesen itu polis telah cuba menyuraikan tunjuk perasaan dengan menyembur air kerana ia adalah perhimpunan haram, tetapi setelah mereka enggan, polis membenarkan kumpulan itu berarak ke Istana Negara untuk menyampaikan memorandum menuntut pilihan raya bersih.

Polis telah berjaya mengendalikan tunjuk perasaan dengan baik, katanya semasa ditemuramah secara langsung oleh stesen itu melalui panggilan telefon

Beliau berkata demikian bagi mengulas mengenai perhimpunan haram anjuran Gabungan Pilihanraya Bersih dan Adil atau dikenali sebagai "Bersih" yang dianjurkan oleh 26 badan bukan kerajaan dan disertai parti pembangkang untuk menyerahkan memorandum berhubung beberapa tuntutan mengenai proses pilihan raya di negara ini kepada Istana Negara.

Zainuddin bila ditanya kenapa Malaysia tidak membenarkan tunjuk perasaan, berkata: "Tunjuk perasaan tidak perlu kerana pilihan raya tidak pernah gagal diadakan di Malaysia mengikut jadualnya." Menteri Penerangan turut mengecam Al Jazeera kerana membuat pertanyaan mengikut persepsi yang salah.

Beliau berkata wartawan Al Jazeera telah mempunyai persepsi sendiri sebelum datang ke Malaysia dan menambah: "Malaysia bukan Myanmar dan bukan Pakistan, Malaysia adalah sebuah negara demokrasi."

Zainuddin berkata kebanyakan penonton di Malaysia ketawa melihat kelakuan dan aksi wartawan Al Jazeera yang cuba memberikan gambaran seolah-olah tunjuk perasaan itu begitu buruk dengan menjerit-jerit sehingga terasa kepada mereka ia bukan keadaan yang sebenarnya.



Read the last paragraph . Datuk Seri ... betul ke kebanyakan penonton di Malaysia ketawa melihat kelakuan dan aksi wartawan Al Jazeera ?

First of all ... they are foreigners .... and what more to say journalists . Journalists' words reach millions in a minute or two . And if that happens , boom !! You will see our image getting smashed ... you will see a dip in financial sectors .... etc .

And I can't believe our Statistical Dept is so efficient !! The demonstration happened yesterday .... and you can then say it on TV that "KEBANYAKAN ORANG DI MALAYSIA KETAWA MELIHAT AKSI WARTAWAN AL JAZEERA" ??

Wow . Haha ... I wonder what Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz will say ..... what Pak Lah will say .... what Khairy will say ....

Maybe Datuk Seri Nazri will say "Mereka ini Bodoh" ... maybe Pak Lah will say "Saya pantang dicabar .... nanti tengoklah !" .... maybe Khairy will say "Semalam ada 40 ribu beruk" .

Yes yes ... you never know ...... now we all can begin to ponder , wonder , think , and wait to see what can our constitutional King do .
