Clean? Dirty?

Bersih 3.0 rally has started and ended on 28th April, 2012. With the aims of asking government for a cleaner electoral system. Just that simple! But since it's related with politic, things get complicated. It is supposed to be a peaceful sit & protest rally, but it ended up with teargases, fights, vandalism, etc. Some say it's the evil side of the protesters, so the government is right and the citizens are wrong; some say it's a set up by ruling party to put blame onto the Bersih NGO, lots of saying, which is right and which is wrong? the truth may not be that important. As Malaysians are easily influenced by medias and friends, truth seems to be what is said by majority, adults lack of the independent to search for the real truth. And with Malaysia government's control over certain aspects, truth are sometimes never revealed. Only those who are involved will truly understand. So what is the future of Malaysia? with the system and culture that we have now, evolving from the past, the future is to be declining more or we have a chance to become better?

Looking on the comments on facebook, again it's sad seeing lots of naive replies relating Bersih with racial and religion issues. Yes, Malaysia might be having these problems but it is not what is aimed by Bersih participants. Political parties might be influencing the activity but certainly not race and religion. Bersih is not fighting for any specific race nor religion. Bersih is fighting for a clean and fair election where every vote counts and weighs the same. If our current ruling party has faith with their job done and has nothing to hide what is the need to go against Bersih? Just think. Why is Barisan National so afraid of losing? Why is Barisan always portraying the message that they should not lose?...A healthy democratic country should have proper political system where citizens choose their leaders fairly and leaders have the possibilities to be changed if they do not do their work well enough for the citizens. However, this is not seen in Malaysia. Malaysia has been ruled by Barisan for more than 50 years, lately these few years when opposition parties started to strengthen and some has been able to represent the citizen better than Barisan, things start to change. Lots of conspiracies and tactics are used to make sure that Barisan remains as government ruling party. With a lot of problems created by Barisan yet the votes seem to be holding them as government. Are the votes really being cast fairly by Malaysians? Are there something behind that public do not know? Only God and those involved know...

Let us all continue to pray for Malaysia and work harder for a better Malaysia. Malaysia is my homeland, even though I am a Chinese and a Christian, I love Malaysia. I have never thought of overpowering Malays or Indians or any other races. I just wish we all live peacefully together and we tackle issues constructively based on the issue itself and not the race or religion involved.
