We can meet so many good people that there was no chance of meeting before.<BR/><BR/>Like zawi and now you. I am sure it gives seniors like us the chance to share our thoughts with younger Malaysians.<BR/><BR/>Keep writing and stay healthy.H J Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193109066207549502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534232952413311481.post-40128621077138937082007-11-11T09:18:00.000+08:002007-11-11T09:18:00.000+08:00h j angus, The authority should have given a permi...h j angus, The authority should have given a permit to organizer of the rally. Malaysian are smart and have brain and not an unruly people, they know the law and respect it. <BR/><BR/>Did those crowds on the midnight watch on December 31 every years got a permit to welcome the new year, I doubt so and yet they behave well and no undue incident happen. <BR/><BR/>Democracy is not just winning an Election, it is more then that. Now we have Blogger, the citizen journalists, it is going to be a different ball game altogether in the future. <BR/><BR/>Thanks and Have a nice day.Pak Idrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420141407304142741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534232952413311481.post-13542103872391691482007-11-11T07:01:00.000+08:002007-11-11T07:01:00.000+08:00thanks zawi and bernardIt is good the march was co...thanks zawi and bernard<BR/><BR/>It is good the march was completed with no killings; though some people were beaten and sprayed with chemicals and tear gas.<BR/><BR/>The decision by the Agong to receive the petition also helped to defuse the situation.<BR/><BR/>In that sense the police also did their job well. One cannot expect them to mobilise so much equipment without testing out the new toys that we paid for. All it takes is a little panic on their section leader to open fire with tear gas, water cannon etc.<BR/><BR/>Overall it was a good day for democracy by the people.H J Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193109066207549502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534232952413311481.post-52212707200072955242007-11-11T00:03:00.000+08:002007-11-11T00:03:00.000+08:00Right on! zawi.

As if, the government had heeded the wishes of the people to end rampant corruption, nepotism, cronyism and fixing of the judiciary. The government is to be blamed for the harm caused to Malaysia's public image with the current problems in the police force, judiciary and ACA.yellowkingdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497240602924478373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534232952413311481.post-11813768067163741192007-11-10T14:09:00.000+08:002007-11-10T14:09:00.000+08:00h j angus,I agree with you on the need to allow th...h j angus,<BR/>I agree with you on the need to allow the marchers to peacefully march to The Istana Negara. But the fear in the PM is so real that this show of protest will become contagious and may lead more protestors to show their displeasure at his stupid administration. <BR/>He will win the battle but he will lose the war. Thats is why all road to the Capital was closed cos they will know that there will be 100,000 people will gather there. That is massive by any standard and that alone will make him 'malu' to the world. What difference is General Ne Win of Burma compared to our PM? They are the same.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.com
