Back to the Blogosphere (Bersih 2.0 9th July 2011)

Sometimes, i wonder why i seldom blog. Maybe it is due to my laziness. Maybe it is the inspiration. Or maybe it is my it is my inability to come up with a cool blog title.

It has been near to months into summer and i am still kinda in a haze on what is going on. I know things are happening around me but i seem to shrug them off my shoulders. Today, I would like to highlight on Bersih 2.0 which took place on the 9th of July 2011. Well, GLC newspapers such as the News Straits Time (NST) kindly reminded the public that it was clearly a sham event. The newspapers portrayed the masses of protestants during the event as barbarians.

Naturally, each protest has their cause. Who would dedicate time and money on something if they do not worth anything. So Bersih 2.0 is here to start a peaceful rally for a better, more just election. Is there anything wrong?

So what the government thought was that this rally might "educate" the public on the tyranny which is happening as we speak. Well, only a retard or a child might not know this but the general public of Malaysia do know what is going on.

Although I personally think that bringing a rally down the road isn't a really good idea, but what choices does Dr Ambiga has? Yes the Gov suggested that she can organize the event/ rally in a stadium. And yes she can apply for a licence to do the rally in the stadium. But FYI, MOST STADIUMS are owned by the Gov. And the in the end, the "stadiums" rejected her application.

Yes the Dr Ambiga played all her cards, but the Gov holds the ace/aces.

Next, media played their cards. By effective spreading of rumors and news, the peaceful event turned into a horrific war with tear gases and water cannon. Well how did it happened? Easy, the Gov feed GLC media board with misled information and loads of cash. I would like to highlight in particular the NST did a particular good job in superimposing a fake picture of a dude (so called Bersih supporter) throwing what appeared to be a homemade bomb to the Federal Reserve Unit (FRU). This picture appeared as the front cover of the paper on 10th July 2011 (Date is vague, i forgotten). Come on, child ply much?

Everywhere around the globe, protests and rallies do happen. Only in China and Malaysia, rallies are purposed as something that we should not do. I do understand that China is a communist country. Freedom of voicing out your opinions are not exactly legal. But in Malaysia, we do practice this thing called the Monarchy Democracy similar to that in England. Yea we do have our King. But by democracy we also have the freedom to voice out what is right. Since the government did not provide us with the right media to feed our opinions, yea i agree now that we should bring it to the streets.

With corrupted medias, the public voices are stifled by the masses of rubbish the gov feed to us daily. Do you believe what you read on the paper or do you filter out the truth yourselves. Stand up for what you believe in although the others might nudge you to do otherwise. It is you, your voice your country. You decide.
