(You are not going to see these in the MSM tomorrow)It's another not so productive day. I was glued to my PC witnessing the events in Perak as they unfolded. Tribute must certainly be paid to Anil Netto with his live reporting from ground zero. What I and many have witnessed today was an attempt to dismantle the democratic institutions in this country and turn this country into a pariah regime where there is no rule of law but only rule by brute power and force.
We may be the only country in the Commonwealth that has the distinction of seeing a Speaker from a state legislature being forcibly removed from his chair in a literal sense and dragged out from the assembly. We are the only country that hold elections and yet bar its citizens from the place where the people representatives who were duly elected by the citizens meet to conduct their business.
In the midst of all these distressing events, I read of a restaurant owner who refused to close his shop when instructed to by the police unless he is being compensated. The police gave up and even buy drinks from him. Yes, reading this story of courage gives me hope to see a better Malaysia. We shall not be cowed.
As suggested by P. Ramakrishnan, let "Remember Perak - Remember the injustice" be our rallying cry. Henceforth, it will be Black Thursday for me every week until the BN government is no more.
1Malaysia? Ptui!
