Mode of transport ie Trishaws and Bicycles, is different from Expressions of Principles and Passion. So it’s idiotic to even compare.

Sensible or not, it works, because NOTHING else has. Why dont YOU suggest a way of convincing the government to pay heed to our views instead of just slamming the rally and condemning the participants? A way that WILL WORK… because as far as I am concerned, this right to peaceful assembly is enshrined not just in our Federal Constitution but it is inherent in every human being to exercise such Freedom.

Without such rallies you would not be enjoying the freedom to associate and express as you are having right now as an individual. You wouldnt even be on the internet, reading articles from LoyarBurok.com.

Think about it.

Why don’t they just arrest all opposition party members, thus what is left is single government backed party. No opposition, no need to defend themselves regarding bullshit figures on Malay Equity, on ISA, on blablabla… everything can then be sweep under the bed… Oh right this isn’t Communist Country… wait isn’t ISA is suppose to fight against Communism?

Hi,

No one said STREET PROTEST is wrong. It’s only OUTDATED, that’s all.

For goodness sake, street protest might be the way in the past but we’re in the new millenium now. REFORM message ought to be carried out in a more sensible way. Participants of STREET PROTESTS today can only be regarded as “BARBARIANS LIVING IN THE SIXTIES”. Can’t they figure a NEW AGE approach to send a memorandum to the palace instead of being STREET BARBARIANS causing unnecessary traffic chaos to others???

TRISHAWS & BICYCLES may be the main mode of transport in the past but will one consider these appropriate in today’s modern world???

It’s really SAD to know most Malaysians are still living in the RETRO SIXTIES/SEVENTIES. I wonder when will they ever wake-up to face reality??? or is that they will NEVER wake-up???

Before the police can ’sedar diri’, we ought to pray for the idiot PM of ours to recognise that his words are recognised by the rakyat to be like ‘running water’…..unless he ’sedar diri’ no use hoping for his goons to do so….

Ya ya they are blaming the protesters for causing ‘$200 millions’ losses last Sat.

Come on, I was caught in the jam crawling round and round in town and couldnt get out of KL after work. Electronic signboard saying ‘Ikut Arahan Polis’ but apparently officers just stood there chatting, blocking road, laughing!!! What police instruction???!!!!

Police dept causing massive jam on 1 August 2009 and not demo.

Pls make it clear and knock some silly sense out of Hisham’s kotak.

Road closure becoming a norm to flame public sentiment.

Police day rehearsal – road closure during peak
Merdeka day rehearsal – road closure during peak
Agong birthday rehearsal – road closure during peak
De tour de langkawi – road closure during peak
DBKL day – road closure

My ass, why dont close down the whole KL in your grandfather name.

i am fed-up of everyone antagonising the entire rally by saying “the PROTESTORS caused the jam!” or “the PROTESTORS have threatened national security!” or the dumbest (most pathetic one) i’ve heard so far by the Rembau fella, “the fact is that those who attended were mostly from the opposition as the public does not support such illegal activities”

Eh Hello…EVEN IF the crowd were mostly oppositionist… ARE THEY NOT PART OF THE PUBLIC?
what is with the undertones of “US v. THEM”?

this was not a political party campaign. this was a peaceful participatory expression of dissent. The POLICE and the Powers that BE caused such obstruction.

Alangkah baiknya kalau pihak Polis boleh SEDAR diri and keluar daripada cengkaman zalim pihak Berkuasa. Sedar diri, oh sedar diri!!!!!!!!

Check out this piece too:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124912276548999015.html (Malaysian Protesters clash with riot police)

See the title? it’s “riot” police not the people!!

And this piece from Sim Kwang Yang:
http://hornbillunleashed.wordpress.com/2009/08/02/2975/ (Absolutely NO to ISA…on a lazy Malaysian Sunday)

“They still do not get it. The government cannot be trusted to take care of everything; the people must be allowed room in public space on the streets of KL to express their extreme contempt for this law in peaceful manners. This is called people exercising their democratic rights to free assembly and free expression.”

Also this piece from Yeo Yang Poh:
English version: http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=36441 (Why do Malaysians march?)
Chinese version: http://merdekareview.com/news/n/10414.html (??????)

Last but not least, yeah “thanks” to the police, allowing us to witness with our own eyes as of how brutal & bully they were!!

The RAKYAT protested but BN called it RIOT…There were many RAKYAT but they did not riot. The RIOT Polices are the culprit who had rioted against the wishes of the RAKYAT.
