10 days on..........

From a distance one's view may be limited to the very little information that he has access to...

The build-up was interesting.....the event...the objective...the manner in which it was executed..the reactions....n of course ...the local media......

Nov 10 came n gone.....wish i was there to witness it first hand.....so did BERSIH achieved anything?.....apart from gathering like minded people for a common cause.....i can assure you that many were there for a common cause but ......but for some.... there could have been an underlying motive...personal perhaps....

Was it really 60K people who gathered......why wasnt there a picture taken from one of the buildings.......optical illusion perhaps......Al Jazeera could have put someone in an office building or an apartment with full view of the strategic locations......

To the "60K" who painted the town yellow.......whats your next move?....will regular gatherings be the weapon of choice.....

Indonesia, Thailand, Philipines...have seen it all......of how reform agenda were taken to the streets and of how the govt machinery dealt which the threat.....and of how people's power triump............take a step back folks.......look at yourself in the mirror......mmm ...no actually get one of those cheap Air Asia flight out to Jakarta or Manila......have a look at the country....n compare it with ours........you could feel the hardship our neighbors are suffering by just taking a stroll out of your hotel.....So do u think that u r willing to risk your comfortable zone to go to the streets for something that you believe in......

Why dont you just go to your neighbors for a chat... and try to convince them to believe in the cause....get them to go to the people that they know n do the same......begin the revolution of the mind.........in stealth mode.......no need for police permits....nor the threats of detention nor physical harm.....and when the time comes......exercise your right to vote....simple
