Najib vs BERSIH 2.0


One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it. -Unknown (quoted from Kung-Fu Panda)

This quote is taken from the movie Kung-fu Panda. In that movie, the grandmaster had a vision that his greatest enemy will escape from the prison. His disciple knowing from this immediately send someone to that prison to alert the guard and to tell them to double-up the security. However, by sending someone there, he inadvertently causes the prison break of that enemy. If he were not asked to come there, the enemy would never escape as envision by the grandmaster. Quite ironic, isn't it.

This is actually similar to where Najib is doing against the BERSIH rally. He tries everything in his power to stop this rally but inadvertently he has spurred the interest of people to participate in this rally. The crackdown on BERSIH supporter can only drew more sympathy to their cause. The media hype about this BERSIH rally is really dumbfounded. You can see it in TV, you can see it in the newspaper. Everyone knows it is going to be held in 9th July. The BERSIH organiser got free advertisement and promotion, courtesy from the government. Plus now, there is an added bonus, they got a stadium now, again courtesy from the prime minister and Yang Dipertuan Agong. The harder you try to block it, the more the real it become.

From the way I see it, BERSIH only represent the vocal minority.. But it seems that they like to think that they represent the majority voice of the rakyat. I for one, don't care at all about this rally thing, I personally think that we have a good election system compared to some of our neighbours and some parts of the world. They do have some faults, but at least there is an improvement. At least, democracy is practiced here. In the last election, the opposition managed to get five states, and still they say the election system is corrupted? Samy Vellu lost.. Shahrizat lost.. Anwar Ibrahim won... Nurul Izzah won.... this is big tycoons here.. and yet you say the election system is corrupted? If it truely is, I don't think Anwar can even win in Permatang Pauh.

So Najib.. just give this BERSIH their damn stadium to shout all they want.. In the general election, the silent majority will also have a say.. and we will say it silently through our votes....Not by shouting in a stadium.. PEACE !!
