Yes, the Barisan government is so afraid of people power.

We were just a bunch of people holding a candle and wearing the "I am with RPK" T-shirt....and they were afraid of us! Now, I'm very sure democracy is dead in Malaysia!

Malaysian Democracy at her best. FRU presence in a peaceful candle-light vigil. The political leaders are too used in the comfort of their leather armchairs in Putrajaya. They never did use candles, did they? Since when are white candles more lethal than M16s and chemical-laced water cannons? Since when are young kids who gather with their parents to express their common voice a threat to the peace and security of this Nation? Except the political careers of those sitting in Putrjaya of course.

You can personally thank this pendatang for all the repression.

It is time to cage all the fake Melayu pendatangs indefinitely under the ISA and put them out of circulation in politics. For too long have these fakes perpetrated injustice upon ordniary folks under the guise of protecting "Malay rights".

They are committing treason against the nation. The real guardians of Malay sovereignty should now act if the people's interest are truly in their hearts, and decree that these fake Malays be stripped of their bumiputra status and either be marched to the gallows or detained under the ISA.

I expected the joint vigil would be held at 9:30, so reached there about an hour earlier. By then the arrests must've already taken place. I noticed a few guys standing near the LRT, where three police cars were parked. One bystander told me the police explanation that the field had been booked for some anniversary, but I didn't see anyone using the field even after 9:45. I guessed what had happened and went to A&W for a second dinner (had one at home just an hour earlier). This must've been a very happy night for A&W: perhaps we can strike a deal with the management for a 30% discount every time police cars are blocking the road. Met some very nice people there, including Brian and his family, including his little baby. Remember another group sitting just next to my table - a guy called Lester happened to be from my hometown (Ipoh).

At about 9:20 a group of us walked to the Mall for a short meeting with the crowd already there, among which the indomitable Haris was talking about not giving up the struggle. We dispersed after singing the Negaraku. Later I told him I kept my promise to appear, and he grasped my arm. It was a comradeship felt by all who shared a distaste for the ruling party's show of intimidation, and forged by a love of freedom so vital for our vision of a modern, progressive, democratic Malaysia.

What the anti-BN should do is to work harder to convince the votes not to vote BN and not trying to curse the Malays and the Muslims just because the UMNO are Malays and Muslims...Only 3 million of the 14 million are UMNO, If u curse Malays and Muslim in general, then ur cursing 14 million people and almost 7 million of these Malays are voters too...

In the long run, can you get a good support from then if u curse them???

In 1969 the many malays supported the oppositions because of their poverty..

Later years.. the non malays curse the Malays and the nationalist tells the malays of this facts... and they came out with the NEP...

I disagree with dragonheart. Most of us here have followed MT for more than years and we read and trust RPK's articles for the reason he writes with facts and he writes the truth. One demands some good level of apprehension of his anthology type of literature then will easily read between the line what he intends to tell. So far I haven't had felt anything negative or the so-called self-proclaimed insult that had RPK authored! It fact, he explained to us the atheists what is Islam and how to differentiate between good and bad Muslims in his scholar way! At one time, due to the cyber troopers engaged by Umno they had purposely provoked on the issues of race and Islam, I agreed there had been some uncalled for comments which were of sensitive and unruly, but, that didn't mean necessary to be the works of the MT supporting readers! The cyber troopers were mostly to be blamed! However, it was tamed and warned by RPK and the followers thence had commented with due diligence and restrained from over-bound comments.

For most of us here are concerned, I believe, we have had no discrimination whatsoever towards racial difference and religion and we are respecting each other as brethren! Our main target is arrowed to the bull's eye of Umno and those corrupted politicians and not at racial that's I am pretty sure about this! Unless you are from the other side of the board, you have felt offended and wish here to instigate amongst our brotherhood, I advise you to save it as you are wasting time here for an unaccomplished mission and will be hurled with goose eggs! Disgrace is what you ask for it!

Arriving at Amcorp Mall around 9:15 I saw no activity on the padang. People were gathered in front of the Mall and it was great to be greeted immediately by a few fellow bloggers who recognized me. That's the nicest feature of physically attending these community events - every face you see, even if you haven't been introduced, is already a friend. Then Haris Ibrahim suddenly appeared and, this being our very first physical meeting, I just had to give him a big hug for inspiring so many with his gigantic spirit and outstanding mind.

I got a call from a friend who said the cops had forced her to turn back, so she decided to go home. A minute later I heard someone call my name. It was an old buddy who hangs out with RPK a lot and... yup! there The Man was, being interviewed by a couple of people with videocams and when he finished I gave him a very heartfelt hug. He had the sanctified aura of a real-life Sir Thomas More, a homegrown Man For All Seasons. It was immensely gratifying to have seen & hugged this Great Man of royal pedigree so beloved of the Rakyat.

Decided to WALK WITH RPK (literally) and when I got to the Civic Center, the Red Helmets were already lined up and beating their shields to scare people. Polis sirens were wailing just for effect and it was so clear they had been instructed to intimidate & terrorize the peaceful Rakyat gathered there because we all value democracy and love this nation too much to allow it to be turned into a pirates' lair by Scumno scoundrels.

I could sense the FRU guys pumping up their adrenaline (pretty much like a fierce dog growling repeatedly to work itself into a vicious fever before sinking its fangs into somebody's leg or rump) - and for a moment thought it would be wise to not linger. But RPK was speaking under a cluster of yellow balloons and I moved closer to hear him describe what an emotional torture it is for some ISA detainees who don't even get one visit from family in 3 months - because the families are too poor or live too far to make regular trips to Kamunting. I felt a ripple of aggression emanating from the Red Helmets - some Polis officer must have received a call with instructions to nab a truckload of taxpayers just to show the Rakyat you can't mess with the Biggest Bodoh in Bodohland. A voice in the crowd said, "Let's sing Negara Ku before we disperse!" - and with surprising sweetness & authentic sincerity, the national anthem was sung by the 250 plus gathered around RPK. Even as the last note rippled out through the PJ night, I heard batons banging on shields and knew the Red Helmets were about to charge.

"Let's split," I said to my companion, "it's rather inconvenient to spend the night in the copshop!" As we turned to walk away, a huge clamor that sounded like Orcs on the rampage reached our ears. I turned around and saw the crowd being shoved around like waters in a lake being churned up by a descending helicopter. I remembered to blow out my candle so as not to draw unwanted attention and slipped between some large bushes and then back onto the path leading across the Civic Center compound. I could hear loud yelling and the sound of batons smashing on shields (or he***, I couldn't be sure and wasn't inclined to turn around and find out). We managed to get safely back to New Town and found a coffee shop open - a few of my friend's friends were already there. They, too, had been at the vigil and were outraged and shaken at the violent turn it had taken, all because Hamid Albar had suffered the humiliation of being ticked off by an honest judge for abusing his power as home minister and bending the law to malicious political ends.

No doubt the Usual Suspects were frothing at the mouth because RPK had the audacity to even exist - what more as a free man and evidently the most beloved, respected and celebrated citizen of Malaysia! Within 15 mins I was receiving SMSes filling in the details - DAP guys pulled in (heard that Tony Pua was roughed up, they really have it in for the DAP, don't they?), Angela also nabbed, Malaysiakini videographer, about 20 others - one guy had apparently made a run for it and was chased by eight Red Helmets who knocked him down and pinned him to the ground before whacking him up. This is exactly what the public would like to see being done to snatch thieves, rapists and kidnappers - not to peace-loving citizens doing their democratic duty as free citizens and gathering to call for the repeal of a tyrannical & oppressive law by lighting candles and singing songs - and not just a bunch of pop songs but the national anthem.

What now, Malaysia? From Bodohwiland back to Mahathirville via Najibia? Or will the Sun break through the clouds sooner than we expect, signalling the New Dawn?

I did not want to respond to your post initially but then felt that if the misperception that you had articulated were not addressed it could gain currency and the UMNO goons would have won the day.

Demonstration is a legitimate form of expression to voice one's grievances. This is particularly relevant when the government is like a person with ears but do not hear, with eyes and yet do not see. A wise government would engage the people, listen to them and take whatever corrective action. Instead and rather unfortunately we have a government in malaysia that introduces new amendment to laws whenever it was found wanting. The OSA was a good example. When more and more government misdeeds, corruption and cronyism was leaked out they created a new law. Instead of "insafing" and changing themselves they changed the rule of the game.

Writing and hurting other feelings too is not good...

There are of course some nitwit who only know how to fart and are unable to connect the simplest of thoughts together. Don't feel hurt - understand them.

No they did not. It was a stolen election. Inspite of all the odds that the PR had to face and yet the result had shown that the people no longer want the BN to rule. Only due to their cheating that they won. Even so they won by only a fraction of a percentage point of the popular votes. Due to the gerrymendering they had succeeded in gaining many more parliament seats. That again is a form of cheating - is that acceptable in islam ?

If you had followed the responses you will realised that more often than not it was the UMNO goons that had stirred up the malay sentiments and then the "non-malays" replied. You must also understand that not all these "non-malays" were non-malays. Some were actually from the UMNO goon squad. They are here to provoke and agitate the ground. They are the gods and the devils. They will tell you that they are helping you and then when that was found wanting they would say that they are helping someone else. They are always so kind. In this way they pull your string here and there.

When I was in putrajaya doing a visa a few months back. I was in a bus. In front of me was a mother and a little girl. Standing next to her was another little girl. The little girl who was seated tugged at the little girl who was standing and invited her to sea beside her. The two small girls were so small that they sat snugly together. Why is this story significant ? The girl who was seated was an indian while the girl standing was a malay. It was a heart-rending moment to see that the next generation understood how to reach out.

Do not be polluted by the brain-washing tools of BN. Listen to your own heart.

In the long run, can you get a good support from then if u curse them???

In 1969 the many malays supported the oppositions because of their poverty..

Later years.. the non malays curse the Malays and the nationalist tells the malays of this facts... and they came out with the NEP...

Becareful here. When did the non-malays cursed the malays prior to the NEP ? If it was the nationalist who told you this "fact" then it was a lie. Why do you believe that these nationalist actually had your well-being at heart ? Remember they are always very kind. They tell you that they want to help you. And then when you could see that the government was helping the non-malays they will now tell you that we should help the less fortunate and that the malays should understand and be kind-hearted. See, they are always kind-hearted. If not how could the devil weave its magic 8-).

since then the malays swing to the nationalist...

If you now look at may 13 with all the facts and released document you will know that it was these kind-hearted nationalist who had manipulated the malay masses by slaughtering many chinese and when some chinese (notably those from the chinese gangsters) started fighting back the malays were agitated to hate even more.

In short the nationalist , let's really call them by their name, UMNO goon squad or UMNO attack dogs had fooled the malays and took them for a right for close to 30 years. In that period they had gorged themselves with the nation's riches while at the same time telling the malays that they are defenders of the malays.

After 2004, the malays again being depressed by the greedy nationalist and in 2008 they again swing their votes... when the opposition won... the non malays started to racist by telling the malays and muslim are racist...are we going back in circles???

Didn't you read what was posted here ? If the pattern is the same it is because the UMNO attack dogs were unleashed after the election. They again resorted to this manipulative technique. But this time round many malays were wised up, and apparently you were not one of them, to this dirty tactic of UMNO.

Dragonheart,

You may be right on many scores. But you may also agree that the people shouldn't let go of the strong momentum for political change that is already created after the last elections. The pressure should not slip away but continue to be built-up until the next elections for a real change of government.

MT readers for what they are, are never meant to offend anyone or race by purpose, be them Malays or others. You can see how the others are also bashed up as well from time to time. MT readers like you and me and others, I suppose, are only sincere to the cause of change for the better. The majority tend to look at different issues at different times on what each represents and no harm or offence is actually meant to fellow Malaysians on the whole. But of course, then again, under whatever scenario, there will always be some, the minority, who will be more wayward than others in expressing their views. Those few, we can all afford to ignore for the sake of harmony in MT.

Mr. Dragonheart, in this most crucial time of Malaysian history, the biggest
mistake would be to think that we are dealing with a 'reasonable' Government. That we can somehow 'discuss' the issues with them.With a totally controlled

raise our voices and begin the transformation of our people from apathetic
spectators into active and concerned participants in the fate of their country.Yes, we need to respect each other, but those who see things in such narrow terms as Melayu, India dan China and don't hesitate to make crude and stupid racist comments can no longer be used as an excuse to further divide and rule our country. The only ones who have gained are UMNO and their cronies. The losers are the Rakyat. Raise your voice if you really love this nation.

How interesting that in my mind I THOUGHT we had finished singing the National Anthem - however, viewing a video uploaded on YouTube a minute ago, my recall was not quite correct.

I have come all the way from kajang so i told myself anyhow i'm going to the field. true enough many people turns out. The max i will say around 600 people. can you imagine, with road blocks and heavy police presence, 600 people managed to get their way there. so the next time when you saw police, remember IT'S YOUR RIGHTS TO GATHER PEACEFULLY. Don't afraid them, but also don't provoke them la.
this is what i wrote in my blog ; http://kkitsam.wordpress.com

This is something really stupid, peaceful vigil turns into battleground by the FRU. The people has gathered there for 4 weeks, yesterday was the fifth, nothing bad happens until the police turn in. We call ourself a democratic country, yet we have stupid laws that requires people to apply for permit to gather at PUBLIC PLACES. Next time if you have Qi gong class at park with more than 4 person remember to apply for a permit, else that’s call ILLEGAL. Also, next Mooncake Festival, if you intend to light and walk with your tanglung on the road, remember to apply for permit, else it is ILLEGAL. Also, don’t talk/chat with your friends (5 person and above) on the road, coz this is also illegal unless you have permit. Just ignore your friends better still warn them, because they don’t stand up for their rights, now that they have lost it so they have to behave like dogs, confined to their cage only. ok? Remember, either you stand up for your rights now, or you behave like dogs later. As i do not want to be a dog, i’ll be there PJ, again next Sunday 8pm, be it storm, rain or police, I WILL BE THERE FOR MY RIGHTS.

Why wasn't there any report on the Malay woman who got 5 stitches on her head when the police pulled her from the back causing her to fall? I can understand the STAR, Utusan etc might not want to say anything about it but what about the other media? She might have been killed and her son was also arrested as well.

All of you, the YBs, Fr.Paulino of the Church of the Devine Mercy, and as well as the brave members of the Rakyat at the Candle Light Vigil, I salute you for you are great in the eyes of God because you were at the battle front while the rest were warm at home.

The lady who bled badly ia Dian Abdullah, the mother of Kairul the young 24yr old who was arrested along with me. Dian fell when the 'evil special force' suddenly snatched him while they were together and she fell backwards and hit upon the sharp corner of the concrete planter box. Those bastards would have committed murder if she had died. It was by the grace of God, she survived to make her police report at the same station where we were in.
This brave, beautiful lady showed us her badly bloodied shirt and scarf and the stiches on her head and told us the @#@! murderous force did not want her arrested because of her injuries. God please bless this special family!
