I hope you have not been gathering your info from the mainstream because so far its been absolutely rubbish. The reporting is distorted and the kind of manipulation that i see its crazy! I did not get the opportunity to go for the rally, i wasnt feeling too well but i have nothing but regrets that i didnt join brothers and sisters who went for the peaceful rally. We hear the Bersih commitee re-itterating the term peaceful and if you read the accounts from those who attend it, you will get what im saying.

It was a rally to call for Free and Fair elections, period!

Some may say that it was political because there was opposition participation, let me tell you something. The opposition participated in the Bersih rally, they did not organize it. For me, im happy that they did as it shows that they want a even playing field which the rulling party objected.

Anyway, if you have been reading some of the Bersih Stories online, on facebook or twitter, i like to bring this one to your attention, it was by Esther Goh who went for the rally. She has documented her experience in a format that is easy to read and gives you a idea of what happen. Thanks Jennihsurf for sharing

After reading these accounts, i have hope. While there is continuous propoganda with fancy slogans being wielded around using our tax money to gain political mileage. There is a genuine unity at ground level and this Bersih Story tells you just that. Experiences like Bersih gives you perspective, gives your hope and makes your proud to be Malaysian
