Well, of late the nation has been put on our toes by the planned demonstration by BERSIH.
What we know the Registrar of Society confirmed the fact the this body is not registered and therefore deemed an illegal society and that is pretty obvious.
With all the think tank I bet in the organisation they should realise the requirement of our own domestic law regarding activities of societies irrespective whether it is a social organisation or political.
I have seen turmoil and chaos as a young lad in Penang during the 'ching gay' processions and the hartal that not only pulled the brake on social activities in the island but more serious than that it knocked a wedge between the races, I come from an area where my friends encompasses all three races and though we led saperated lifes and are scattered all over the country our once in the while congregation brought the same atmosphere that we enjoyed as kids and never changed one bit.
This is the greatest!
On this matter I must salute the Penang Police Contingent for taking executive actions on the recent demostration in Georgetown sending a signal that the 'men in blue' will not tolerate any form of actions that will catalyst scenario that if left unchecked might bring miseries of previous commosions we have encountered.
Even worst this might draw the nation backwards which nobody accept. As a retired 'blue blood' I always appreciate the sacrifices given by those before me going through the emergency, the confrontation and civil disorders.
Probably the organisers are keeping in step with developements in North Africa but our situation is very very different or are they thinking pulling something like this will bring the NATO to our door steps.
It is the wish of all level headed citizen of Malaysia to see the strong lads in BERSIH organised themselves and if it is for the good of the country establish a political entity get registered and let the fate of the country be decided in a civilised manner through the ballot box.
I suspect those who orchestrated the 9th July so called peaceful demonstration has other motives!
The pertinent question to ask can it be peaceful?
We say 50,000 in the parade and it only takes 1 in the crowd to create a scene that will eventually render the procession to be violent.
Let us see a probable scenario, If a person in the procession passes a policeman on duty who is there to ensure peace and this bloke passes an unfavourable remark or insults the policeman, I am sure that the police will caution this person and this probably will attract others in the procession to interfere and from one small incident this can be a tsunami of emotions and all hell might break loose!!!
That is why all level headed citizens who wants to see that the side A meets and talks to side B or C for an amicable solution, good for all and this talk must be placed on trust and professionalism must prevail at all times.
We the rakyat expect the best for all and the most important point mentioned before by Dr M who said which I still remember - " dont allow ourselves to be colonised again" and we must realise that this statement needs to be taken seriously that any turmoil or hostile situation begetting this country will bring in the UN who will be here for sure until kingdom comes and this to me will be a form of colonisation.
