Oooo...

From The Star today:

KUALA LUMPUR: Anyone who takes part in the illegal gathering on Nov 10 at Dataran Merdeka to demand for a “fair and clean” general election will be arrested.

Police will not hesitate to pick up anyone seen in the area where 100,000 people are expected to congregate from 3pm.

The plan was for those attending the gathering to march to various parts of the city before heading to Istana Negara where a memorandum would be submitted to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.


So, Deputy Commissioner Zul Hasnan, tested your water canons lately? Choppers all fueled? Tear gas canisters? Should be easy using them on unarmed citizens at a peaceful gathering, no? Like sitting ducks.

The thing is we've come to expect nothing less from you fellows. You may threaten to arrest us, maybe beat us, bloody us, break some ribs, why hell, even shoot us. And yet, we'll still be there.... the rakyat including the blind, the wheel-chair bound, women and children. All to see a memo get to the Agong.

What does that tell you about the state of the country? Think it's pretty, Zul?
