Tear gas fired at Bersih 3.0 

I, am angry too!

Of all peaceful rallies, peaceful protests, peaceful assemblies and gatherings I’ve attended, I always keep in mind that I might be thrown into the police truck and I must not fear of it as I know what I believe in. It crossed my mind to be arrested one day, just because the government doesn’t like people who have a different point of view than them. Close friends even have a thought that one day I will sure be locked up and enjoy ‘nasi kari’ behind the cells. Although sometimes I chicken out, but until this moment, I still open up my heart and mind for the possibility  to feel the moment of being arrested wrongfully for the cause I’m fighting for. In Malaysia, everything is possible. Because we simply can.

Malaysia Boleh!

The black can be white and the white can be black.

Yang putih boleh dihitamkan, yang hitam boleh diputihkan.

Today nothing saddened me the most than knowing a friend of mine, a junior of mine got arrested in the recent Bersih 3.0 rally.

WHY! She did nothing wrong. She’s a lady. She was harmless. She was weaponless. She was helping those injured.  She’s a Malaysian.

You, who are reading this, before you start condemning and criticizing, what have you done to make your surrounding better for the people?

I know the taste, smell and sound of tear gas and water cannon being shot. I felt it.

I was lucky to escaped from the bashing of Bersih 3.0.

I am so angry for the unfairness and violence the government has done to its people.

I am angry that good people being victimized but the bad guys are on the loose.

I am angry a friend got arrested before I do.

I am angry for treated like a foreigner in my own country.

I am angry because the government has failed us.

I love this country too..

As I believe, there is still hope. There's still better tomorrow. 

countless people at Bersih 3.0

Ok i lost count. 

Maybe the mainstream media are good in counting, and you can trust their figures?

This is just the crowd at the street from Pudu to Dataran Merdeka, not including other places around Dataran Merdeka yet.

How about the other cities in Malaysia and around the world?

As usual la, whatever the media reported are always different and sometimes contradict with what we saw, heard and experienced live from the scene. 

In this case, Bersih 2.0 and 3.0. 

But I believe there are so many other news alternatives. People are not stupid, don’t they? =p

tips for peaceful assemblies' participants

URGENT AND IMPORTANT

So I heard some people are going to Bersih 3.0 is it? Ooo very dangerous one you know? You never been there before? First time participate?

I pun dengar cakap ada 6 tempat berkumpul esok 1. P Seni, 2. Masjid Negara, 3. Masjid India, 4. Jalan Sultan, 5. KLCC, 6. Brickfields.7. Petaling Street. 8. Sogo.

Oh I see.. It’s ok, let me share share some tips with you.

Firstly before you so anything, pray sincerely and ask for blessing, if your intention is true.

You must eat first so that you have the energy to walk, run, shout and sit.

Always inform a people that you trust that you are going to the peaceful assembly.

MAKE SURE your hp got credit and battery so that you can make and receive calls.

Save the important numbers of lawyers or human rights NGOs in case you are caught! haha!

Never wear expensive watch, accessories or jewelleries.

Wear light and not loose undergarments. Shameful malu ooo if suddenly it fell off.

Chit chat and be friends with strangers.

Gel up your hair so that girls will look at you.

Girls please don’t put up thick make up, you’ll be sweating and you don’t want to look like….

Please put on perfume because your bau ketiak yang busuk can make people faint.

Bring some chewing gums or sweets along in case you are hungry.

Don’t you ever dirty the place. Carry your sampah home or throw it only into the dustbin!

Don’t walk alone, be in a group.

Please don’t curse or maki hamun people.

Study the map carefully so that you won’t be trapped in case FRU shoot teargas and water cannon.

NEVER EVER forget to bring salt.

Read the do’s and don’ts from the organizer.

Get the latest updates on the event.

Lastly, bring as little unuseful and unnecessarily things as you can la because it’s hard to run around with heavy beg.

Anyway I say only la. I’m not asking you to join ya. Anything, you don’t come and find me.

apa salah, apa takut?

DiBiKL Apalah salahnya beribu rakyat berbilang bangsa agama jantina umur destinasi dan taraf hidup ingin duduk di Dataran Merdeka yang agung ini dengan aman dan damai tanpa senjata sehingga kau melayan mereka bagaikan pengganas dengan menggari seluruh padang dan jalan-jalan yang berkaitan? Apakah yang anda takutkan?

protest safely for Anwar

Whoever is going for Anwar’s peaceful gathering tomorrow morning, may you be safe. Bring mask and salt. I don't think you can really have a smooth protest like the pro-government people. Too many double standards by the police. As I believe in democracy and support any peaceful activities, remember there’s always limit in freedom and everything else in the world. Whatever you do, do it with a clear reason and not to follow blindly. Protest safely..

selamat berdemo kawan UIA

Kepada kawan-kawan yang akan berdemodi UIA menentang ketidakadilan univerisiti menggantung tugas Profesor Dr Abdul Aziz Bari, selamat berdemo, selamat berjuang. Kembalikanlah martabat profesionalisma dan intelektualisma para akademik kita. My prayer is with you.

what a JOKE of the day

Well, let see what is the joke of the day.

First it’s from our Menteri Luar or Minister of Foreign Affairs, Datuk Anifah Aman. He was responding to the questions from people protesting in London. Najib, Hishammudin and him was there to meet the Queen of England. This is what he said about Bersih 2.0 rally.

“Tindakan polis berpatutan. Malaysia mempunyai pelbagai bangsa dan jika terjadi huru hara itu mungkin menimbulkan rusuhan perkauman. Kami tidak mahu ambil risiko. Awak tidak tahu apa yang berlaku di sana, awak tidak berada di sana.”

(http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/170233 and http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/170247)

Come on Datuk! Stop lying! What joke are you telling??

Tindakan polis berpatutan? Whacking and beating people is appropriate? Shooting tear gas and water cannon into the hospital compound is ok? SIMPLY arrest people for wearing yellow and with the BERSIH word on it is correct? Oh wow…

Ok what else?? Huru-hara itu mungkin menimbulkan rusuhan kaum? Halooo.. it’s not chaotic at all if not because of the police. Everyone was walking peacefully until the police shoot tear gas and water cannon. Yes there are a few provocative demonstrators who couldn’t hold onto their emotions.

And the rally is not about Chinese vs Malay or Malay vs Indian or Chinese vs Indian or any race vs any race! It’s not a racial rally. It is a rally by all Malaysians from all over the country, all walks of life from different age, gender, religion, profession and so on. Nothing racist from Bersih 2.0 demonstrators. They were helping each other throughout the intimidation and abuse of power from the police. They were chatting and joking with each other. Chinese, Indian, Malay, Sabahan, Sarawakian, the aborigines got tear gas and water cannon too. It was a touching united Malaysian scene. Forget about the propaganda 1 Malaysia concept by Najib. The Bersih 2.0 demonstrators best represent the concept on July 9^th. Racist elements only came from Ibrahim Ali and PERKASA. HE’S THE ONLY ONE BEING RACIST.

For your information Datuk Anifah, you are not there, so you don’t deserved at all to give your own judgement!

Shame on you Anifah Aman, Hishammuddin Hussein and Najib Razak for all the lies you made.

To all the politicians in Malaysia, stop talking nonsense and make fun on yourself. Most importantly don’t fool the Rakyat.

Why I talk so much?? The reason is simply because I was there when the democracy process took place.

Ok now let’s go to the second joke of the day. This time it’s about UiTM, a university for the Bumiputra. It got to the with the PERKASA President, Ibrahim Ali. UiTM is giving out Anugerah Ibrahim Ali or Ibrahim Ali Award to its students.

(http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/170244 and http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/170252)

Oh wow!! Ibrahim Ali. Oh yeh.. uhhh..

First of all, I am so happy and proud of you, Ibrahim Ali for willing to sponsor RM 5000.00 in every convocation to the suitable student. It’s so nice of you. I think the students must be very happy for your kind contribution. Seriously it’s a good news when you give back to the society. You will be a good role model for your kind act.

But, I am so shocked with this award. How can a university acknowledge people like you, Ibrahim? Not enough with the racist label given to UiTM, now UiTM is one step backward in recognizing racism and recruiting more racist Malaysians. Don’t deny the fact that UiTM students are taught to be pro-government. Don’t deny the facts that there are a number of students from UiTM who are bearing the racist mindset.

I wonder what he has contributed to the nation. Erm.. Asking the Chinese to go back China? Er.. asking the Chinese to keep more food at home? Er.. Saying he can bring more people to counter Bersih 2.0 rally? Staying away when the Bersih 2.0 took place? Or calling Wong Chun Wai the Father of Crocodile (http://malaysiakini.com/news/170196).

Sorry but I am disappointed and utterly disgusted by this award. RM 5000.00 to promote and enhance racism? Bullshit!

Good academicians from UiTM please stand up and make a stand. UiTM is an educational institution. It supposed to give birth to capable, open-minded, rationale, outstanding and muhibah leaders not to produce more racist people like Ibrahim Ali la…

University should uphold democracy and improve the society.

Just because you can come out with RM 5000.00, you can have the award under your name?? fuyooo! What’s the rationale and relevancy?? Yes you may be cheered for speaking on behalf of the Malays but your views are not supported by all the Malays. You might be fighting for the Malay rights but I still don’t feel that you deserved to give out that award with your name on it.

I will be the first one to support if it’s a A. Samad Said Award or Marina Mahathir Award or even a S. M. Mohamed Idris Award.

Hmmm it’s ok la it’s your university, not mine. And I’m not the applicant. Afterall, UiTM is making itself a laughing stock, at least I laugh. Wahahahaah!

Siapa yang rasa dia layak and tak malu, apply lah.

I wonder what my friends from UiTM have to say about this award. Please leave your comments.

The application form is here (http://impak.uitm.edu.my/?page_id=2312). Your family and friends must be very proud of you. =p

OK I’M DONE LAUGHING WITH THE TWO NEWS TODAY. If you don’t feel funny, don’t laugh la and you can go away from this blog.

WHAT A JOKE OF THE DAY!

Queen of England in yellow

So why is the Queen Elizabeth wearing yellow when granting an audience to Najib and Rosmah? There are reasons. Hahah you are so cool la Queen of England. I respect you for your hidden message to my country. =p

Pancutan Sperma Asid (Bersih 2.0)

I was there at the Bersih 2.0 rally. I witnessed many things that you don’t get to read in newspapers, see in television or hear in radio. If this is real democratic country, let us have freedom of writing. This sajak is my expression. Don’t tell me what to say and what not so say. 


Pancutan Sperma Asid

Aku di sana

Berdiri megah dengan isteri

Digantung di leher kecil

Dibalutnya dengan kondom ungu dan putih

Khuatir dicemari sperma berasid

Hati berdebar menanti cekupan

Kaki meggeletar

Bersedia cabut melintang-pukang

Kemudian kau mara

Datang bagaikan ombak

Mara umpama orang hilang akalnya

Gila meraung-raung diserang hysteria

Langkah mu gagah

Menongkah arus kebangkitan rakyat

Di lautan demokrasi

Benteng perpaduan ummah dicerobohi

Kau maki-maki puki

Meneranjang laki-laki

Orang tua, kanak-kanak dan wanita

Pun tidak kau lepasi

Jentera tsunami mu menyerang liar

Trak merah mengganas menghala mereka

Masuk menyelam dalam semangat kuning

Yang berjalan menghayun chota dan baton

Yang gila memukul membabi buta

Lalu tanah merdeka digempar

Siren berkumandang

Gas pemedih mata ditembak-tembak

Meriam air masuk gelanggang

Kau memancut tanpa segan silu

Sperma-sperma asid mu melekat di sini situ

Puas kau memancut

Hilang segala rasa gian

Sperma-sperma asid mu cukup beracun

Yang celik menjadi buta

Rasa cili membakar mata
Cili paling pedas ku pernah rasa

Orang-orang menjadi ayam

Lari berkeliaran

Keluar dari reban

Kau melangkah gagah

Menongkah arus kebangkitan rakyat

Di lautan demokrasi

Benteng perpaduan ummah dicerobohi

Kau maki-maki puki

Meneranjang laki-laki

Orang tua, kanak-kanak dan wanita

Pun tidak kau lepasi

Yang aman kau binasakan

Yang haram kau halalkan

Yang betul kau salahkan

Yang baik kau jahatkan

Yang putih kau hitamkan

Jahanam kau si iblis bermuka manusia

Makan minum atas duit orang Malaysia

Tapi kau berkawat di jalanan

Buat macam tanah ini kau punya

Kelakuan mu bagai orang gasar

Mengagungkan yang jahil dan korup

Memalukan bangsa dan negara

Kau memperkosa keamanan negara

Dicabuli kau kehormatan mereka

Yang berjalan muhibah di tiang hak manusia

Keselamatan mereka kau nodai

Badan mereka kau pijak

Dipenyek-penyek
Direnyuk-renyuk

Kau memancut kau menembak

Sperma-sperma asid mu

Mencari-cari yang tidak berdosa

Kerana kau kotor

Kebersihan Bersih 2.0 menyilau mata mu

Kau

Si pancut yang batangnya tegar

Tegak memancut membabi buta

Air mani asid liar di udara

Merobek suara keramat gegak gempita

Puas kah anda

Melepas nafsu kebinatangan

Menikmati saat-saat pancutan

Melihat ku dan komrad-komrad lain
menanggung sakit derita
Gara-gara kerakusan kuasa mu
Sakit pedih gila lu tau kah


Nasib baik kami tidak mengandung
Dipancut dipercik disimbah sperma-sperma asid mu
Kalau pun benar
Pasti anaknya gugur

Terima kasih si pahlawan bangsat

Kau membuka mata Rakyat yang melihat
Warna sebenar kerajaan demokrat

 *So, will i get arrested for this poem?

709: no yellow, no red, but white.

Dup dap dup dap dup dap dup dap..

This is what I feel at the moment. I am so nervous over the event tomorrow. I’m looking forward for it though. But I know the feeling is more than nervous. I am scared. I am scared until I am speechless and stomach pain.

What colour will people be wearing tomorrow? How will Kuala Lumpur looks like? A sea of yellow? Or a sea of red? We’ll see. But for me, I’ll just be wearing a white shirt. White represents cleanliness, purity and sincerity.

Earlier in the day, she asked me not to go. She asked why must I go. She said I can support from the heart.

Just now, my aunty called. She asked me to becareful. She reminded me so many times not to wear yelloh shirt. She said she knows that I will be going.

Then my grandmother called me. She said there are roadblocks everywhere. She wondered how in the world I got bus ticket back to KL.

Lastly, my mum. She also asked me not to wear anything yellow tomorrow.

Don’t worry I won’t. I’m wearing white. =p

I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Some people say there will be riot. Some say the communication like will be down, no phone calls, sms, and internet. Some say there will be massive arrest in the city.

If anything were to happened to me, I won’t blame anyone. This is the path I chose, this is the decision I made.

Nothing is gona change if only a person do all the job. Last time, when I join SRC of UTAR Kampar, this is one of the messages I try to send out. If we are all united, we can breakthrough.

Forget me not. Remember me for the photos I took, for the stories I documented, and for the memories I captured. Remember me for my silliness and words too.

So if you are going to KL tomorrow, please be safe. Remember to fill petrol if you are driving. If you are stuck in the jam, roll down the window and chitchat with the drivers next to you. =p

I will make myself presence at the event tomorrow with my brothers and sisters. I’ll be there not as any political party supporter but as a Malaysians.

I just wana take pictures la. chill laaaa...

I am not gona do anything bad, illegal or commit crime.

I will be safe and take care of myself. For those who care about me, please pray for my safety and others too.

I will post my updates on Facebook.

May no one's gonna get hurt tomorrow.

Buddha, please bless me..

Peace Malaysia.

Democratising the rakyat

Filepic from Himpunan Mansuhkan ISA on 1/8/2009

You stand firm on the principal of democracy. You go against bad government. You speak up and articulate your thoughts. You create social awareness. You create fear to the people holding power. You got arrested. You are not given fair trial. Your voice is being suppressed.

Your image is ruined. Your family and friends are worried. You lost your job. You lost your dignity. You lost your rights.

You become the victim of democratization process for the betterment of the society and generations to come. The cost to pay is high.

No (only) in Malaysia

In Malaysia, any rally, protest, demonstration, assembly, gathering and picket that held to demand something from the Government, it’s illegal. Other than Government, it’s legal.
