Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.

Wear Yellow, Save Malaysia
I hope that the government would look at what is happening and not whitewash it at all. The changes are coming and I pray that something good will happen from all of these.
The demonstration for free and fair elections was slammed by the government and the riot police was called in to disperse the people up with chemically-laced water cannons and teargas.
The Malaysian mainstream media has tried to swept everything under the carpet, they didn't even mention that the water cannons used had chemicals laced in it. I only knew through Al Jazeera and CNN.
I feel like screaming to the government to not make excuses for themselves or tell the press that Malaysia is a democratic country when in actual fact we do not act like one. You say that Malaysia is democratic and we need not have 'illegal' demonstrations to demand for proper democracy. Also you say that the people of Malaysia wants peace (we do!) and do not need 'other people' to create unrest. But have you ever wondered that the demonstration was the PEOPLE's cry?
It was to be peaceful, and the riot police was called in. Even after the whole fiasco the people never fought back, how do you explain yourselves then?
For the months to come after this peaceful demonstration, human rights activists from all over the world are going to slam Malaysia. I hope you're ready for it.
BN, I hope you are listening...
P.S: Mr Wong Chin Huat, I commend you for your role in this campaign. I'm yellow now.
