Democracy the Malaysian Style


Those who have watched the latest American science fiction/action film “Transformers: Dark of the Moon" (a.k.a. "Transformers 3") will not be unfamiliar with the three catchy and meaningful lines mentioned in the above video clip as follows:

1. “YOU LIE TO US, YOU MAKE A GREAT MISTAKE.” --- Who promised to allow BERSIH 2.0 to be held in a stadium and went back on his words? The consequent mass arrest and chaos could have been averted should the rally be given a chance to be peacefully held.

2. “IT’S OVER. I’M SORRY THAT IT’S OVER.” --- The people will know how to decide and what to do come GE 13.

3. “YOU MAY LOSE YOUR FAITH IN US, BUT NEVER IN YOURSELF. FROM HERE, THE FIGHT WILL BE YOUR OWN.” --- The people should acknowledge the mission accomplished by BERSIH 2.0 and carry on with the fight for Clean and Fair Elections in this beloved country for a brighter future.
