So, I've been thinking about whether to put this up or not, I just doesn't feel right, if I at least didn't say something.
Regardless of your political view, just read this and judge it on two sides for the once. If you been keeping about Bersih 2.0, (which is really hard to ignore right now), I'm sure you guys have different views and opinions about the rally.
So here's my thoughts and view, again, this is purely educational, no harsh words will be thrown. To make it brief, Bersih 2.0 is a rally that main objectives include, a clean elections, stop dirty politics, reform the postal and stop corruption. In all sense, it is a good move right? So why does Barisan Nasional feel threaten by the rally? Because they afraid that it is a move by the Pakatan Rakyat to get people support, which makes sense if you ask me, but why?
Barisan Nasional is the government currently, of course when you're talking about making a clean slate of all the objectives in the rally, it would indirectly point to the government, thus making them look bad. However, this is not the case, it is also stated that Bersih 2.0 wants a clean politics, does this involve BN alone? Of course not, we also have the Pakatan in politics, and lets not forget the scandals Keadilan Party had this past months.
A question does come to mind, why does BN so intend to stop the rally, if the elections is clean? Why not let the people rally, it's not like they are going to start a riot, they just want to gather, show support that the people are still the power in democratic country.
Some would say that a rally is not a good image to be shown a country, how do you purpose we do it? Through the legal and right channel? Of course this is close to impossible. Do you know that every democratic country has 3 main branches? The Executive branch, the Legislative branch and the Judiciary branch. The Executive branch govern the country, the Legislative branch makes or change the constitution while the Judiciary branch is the law and suppose to be independent, however, there is influence on appointing judges by the Prime Minister (you can read it in Wikipedia).
The King will appoint the judges, however the candidates names are given by Prime Minister, so how can the Judiciary be independent and just if the judges are appointed by the political party that govern the country? So, most of the judges and people involve in this branch probably support the current government, think about it. That is why the right and legal channel is hard to take.
I am not influencing people to join the rally, but it would be a great view that people still holds the power in a democratic country. You tell that you support democracy, when you govern a country with totalitarian power. If you believe in BN, I have no problem, a little politic does not hurt, but don't close your eyes and blindly follow a leader, just because he's a leader, always question yourself.
I myself question the rally. If the objectives are really about changing the politics of this country or to show and gain support to Pakatan Rakyat? If the rally are really clean and peaceful, or will a riot breaks out? However, from recent history, it has been shown that a peaceful rally in Malaysia turns deadly when police involve, which comes to another question, for whom does the police works for? Barisan Nasional or the people?
Interestingly, the Chief of Police whom is also elected by The King, are chosen from candidates the Prime Minister chose, is this even legal? Yes, yes it is, because that's how weird our constitution is.
So are the rally really a political move? I can say yes, just because BN are so intent on stoping the rally. On one hand, people that are always witness the injustice and how dirty the political and election process, just want something to actually be clean and fair. If this is a political move to topple the government, it would be another unfair move by Pakatan, if you really want to won the heart and mind of the people, let start by buying all the medias outlet, that openly support BN, then we can change the people heart and mind set.
There are people that are stuck in between, people that would just like a normal weekend afternoon. People that need to work, that have plan that day, this are the people that hoping to avoid the clash of police and the rally's supporter.
A democracy can't be achieve by single person alone, that is why we have this rally, to show that people still support democracy. Let's hope that the rally will be peaceful, and that life will return to normal after that, and hoping that the police does not make things worse, you already have a bad reputation for being the government's servant.
So are you supporting or against?
