However, I am proud to say that Malaysian now are not who we used to be ...~~~ "Pak Turut", we are a bunch of more educated people and being able to see things clearly now after years in the dark. Despite the high cost in Internet and books, we have our ways to find out more things. Thank to some **politician (better) who review them to us, who work so hard for a better Malaysia.
I believe actions is always louder then words.
Hence, 428 -------> Bersih 3.0, I attended the event! Many people said that I am crazy and a was of time. I believe one of them even think that i am such an idiot to even support that (I seriously don't understand why he can see what is happening ----?). Some even asked me, why you want to attend? Because I am Malaysia, Because I love my country, Because I want to have my right to have a clean and fair election counted, Because I want my thoughts to be taken seriously, and ......many more. Because I want to live in a better Malaysia.
**Don't ask me to balik negara sendiri** That is a stupid instruction because I am already in my own country (Saya berada di negara sendiri). Argument that only insane people would like to involve in.
My experience during Bersih 3.0 #328 was great. It was like a huge carnival happening in touch where all Malaysian gather together. However the world is really small. In such a big crowd I still manage to meet my ex-COO (Sean) and Danny 1 :) *so as I told you it was a carnival* People were dancing and singing and we are having fun. We talk to people whom we meet for the first time sharing thoughts (my brother did most the talking). Like seriously people gathering so early, when I reached Plaza Rakyat at about 11.00am ++ huge crowd was already at Jalan Sultan and Dataran Maybank.
Then we walk together to Jalan Perak (huge huge crowd -- I can't see the ending both back and front)... we sang songs, shout 'Bersih', sit in between the wait (for the instruction to walk), we snap photos, we chit chat, we cheer as the leader walked past (Datuk Seri did, we managed to see Tony Pua and some which I can't see but they are in the group).... it was GREAT.
Then at about 2.00pm ++ some leader walk back and mentioned that it is over and everyone can go back now. A larger crowd cheer as they walk away from our point (I only managed to stop at Burger King). As we are taking pictures and wanting to walk a bit to the front to snap some photos, we saw smokes far at the front. And we knew that the FRU had already firing tear gas!!! For what reason we don't know, what I know we are leaving the place already...then the smoke was came nearer and nearer to the Masjid Jamed station (as crowd gather together - ANGRY with what happened), however someone from the front run passed us asking us all to move back as the people in front was teargassed and they had no where to run. (It sounded bad).. so we all walked in a fast pace back away from Jalan Perak, but the smoke actually came nearer.
Finally as we reached junction of Jalan Silang and walked back to Jalan Sultan, we thought it was over. We went to look for food and most of the shop is full! Lots of people already start ordering and some are eating (business was good). Since there is no more rooms for us, we walked back to Petaling Street for more food...by then there are liquid coming out from my nose (I thought it was flu due to the smoke just now), but I was wrong! A bunch of people running towards us and shout RUN RUN, tear gas!!! (NOTE this is the ending of JALAN SULTAN), within second my eyes feel the sharp pain (like lots of smoke in your eyes and seriously pain --that is only seconds). Thank God that as we are move together with the crowd we saw a building that is still open, and asked my brother, brother in law and his friend to run in to the building. The security was kind enough to let us and few others in before he close the glass door and shutter.
From inside we saw a lots more people running away from the tear gas'ssssssssss most of them are in pain! Some who are having their meal that time have to run away from where they were also. We took a rest in the building for about 30 minutes before we decides to go back. During the waiting, 2 uncles walked in to the place where we were and we had a chat. Both of them had got the tear gas already. They mentioned that they were near HSBC and while one of them was taking photo, the other one saw that a tear gas can was dropping from the top of the *building *sky *above! And they run for their life..
The *Question* is, Why did the FRU chased us and everyone else all the way from Dataran Merdeka all the way to Jalan Sultan/ Jalan Silang and so on??!!!! ^Cari Gaduh^ ke? Then as I was reading my twitter timeline, then I got to know that some of the lrt station was closed and they are even teared gas! *Question* How people want to go back if the station is closed?
I was sick reading my twitter timeline after that knowing that terrible things is happening, including the sogo incident.
We managed to reached Hang Tuah station, but I guess the station is closed?? Lots of people was there. Hence, we went to had something at Kenanga (which lots of them are there as well).
Overall my experience throughout Bersih 3.0 428 was great. Thank God for His protection as we didn't involved in major incident but a tear gas experience that is minor. If you ask me will I go to for Bersih ** again? My *answer* is YES! BUT I hope there will be no more BERSIH event! Also No to LYNAS!
No Regrets and I am Proud to be part of BERSIH 3.0!
