PM: Minimum Wage in 6 Months

Read the Malay Mail, PM: Minimum wage to apply six months from gazette.

1. RM 4.33 per hour in Semenanjung, and RM 3.85 per hour in Sabah & Sarawak. Why are there disparities with Borneo people Najib? Different cost of living? Come on PM, that is the perks of working in rural areas.

2. All sectors excepts domestic worker e.g. maid, gardener and similar category. This is not minimum wage, this is the going rate for such job at the moment. However, Najib has noted that he is aware the desired salary would be RM 1.2k- 1.5k, but could not realised that as it may introduce chaos in job market.

3. 12 months exemption for micro entreprise, except professional firm like medical, legal, architect and engineering which have to roll out within 6 months. Makes sense.

Tua Pek Kong Temple @ Pasir Panjang, Perak

My father-in-law really knows where's the most happening places in Perak. So the other day when we were in Taiping, he suggested that we visit one of the latest attractions in Perak-Tua Pek Kong Temple (霹靂巴錫班尖海邊仙祠大伯公苗及觀音堂) at Pasir Panjang. We were of course very delighted as it was our first time hearing about this relatively new landmark. It is after all a huge temple with beautiful sculpture garden, making it even more appealing to us. After eating our breakfast, off we headed to Pasir Panjang to meet all the deities.

Photobucket
You can see the Tua Pek Kong temple as the backdrop of this photo.
Too bad...I didn't go in to offer my prayers. Too many people...

Honestly...even my father-in-law didn't know how to get to this new Tua Pek Kong Temple. Ha :D So we needed quite a lot of help from the locals before we finally reached the place. We pulled over at least 3 times I think...thank goodness we managed to arrive safely at the temple. I love our 2 hours' journey to the temple. We had to zig-zag through a hug palm oil plantation before we reached Sitiawan. Along the way we also spotted gargantuan aquaculture farms which was truly a sight to behold.

Photobucket
Welcome to the Sculpture Garden (which is directly behind the temple).

Photobucket
Jordan was crying. Perhaps he was scared by the deity statue. Ha :D


A few more photos snapped in the Sculpture Garden

When we reached the Tua Pek Kong Temple, it was already 12:30p.m. It was so scorching hot on that day. Upon arriving, hundreds of cars were already lining up outside the enormous majestic temple. I guess there were thousands of devotees and tourists flocking the temple on that day. Then only I realized that it was the Goddess of Mercy's birthday, that was why the temple was virtually full! Talking about timing huh. Having said so it was really hard for us to move around in the temple.

Photobucket
So there are a few sacred caves.

Photobucket
Besides the temple, you can also offer your prayers here.

Photobucket
Ask and you shall receive.

Photobucket
The pond where you can "release lives" to gather good karma.

Photobucket
So how are you guys doing in this pond?

The whole temple was so crowded that my wife and I decided not to offer our prayers, instead we waited outside for my father-in-law and sister-in-law. However we couldn't resist not taking any photos of this beautiful temple featuring an amazing sculpture garden right? So we did manage to buy some time to snap some photos here and there. I personally love the whole temple. All the sculpture looks beautiful. However non can be compared to the huge, gargantuan Tua Pek Kong statue sitting majestically, facing the sea. It was certainly breathtaking to be standing in front of Him. :)

Photobucket
It's such a hot day huh!

Photobucket
Can you guess why grandpa and Jordan boy were posing beside this tiger?

Photobucket
Aww...such a beautiful sculpture garden. :)

Photobucket
So these are the famed 8 deities right?

Photobucket
There's a waterfall right in middle of the cave.

Photobucket
Wait...how come there are mermaids?

Photobucket
Aww...the famous uncle who loves to fish. Ei...where's his fishing rod?

All in all, it was an exciting adventure for us, especially for Jordan boy and Jasmine girl. It was an eye-opening experience to be there. The whole temple, along with its assemble of statues, will certainly make your jaws drop regardless of whether you are a devotee or not. So you should travel all the way to Pasir Panjang to visit this Tua Pek Kong Temple? Definitely. My only complain is that there are not enough greenery around the temple. They should have planted more trees to cool the the temple. :p

Photobucket
Posing with Goddess of Mercy. It's Her birthday.

Photobucket
Posing with Tua Pek Kong. :)

Photobucket
Damn majestic right?

I am hoping that I can visit this temple again to snap more photos on my next visit. By then both Jasmine and Jordan will be bigger and will be able to pose for me. Haha :D So I will have more time to capture all those priceless photos and videos. Until we meet again Tua Pek Kong...hopefully next time around our timing will be better. :)

Photobucket
We will be back again to this Tua Pek Kong Temple.
Any idea what was behind of them? :p

In Defence of Storming The Barricades at Dataran

Malaysiakini

COMMENT It is sad that despite the success of the Bersih 3.0 rally, the government’s media have successfully managed to distract some of us from the larger issue which is the demand for electoral reforms.

Many of Bersih’s own supporters, even those who took part in the rally of April 28, have been busy accusing fellow participants of breaking the law and indulging in violence. Some commentators cite the storming of the barbed wire barricade at Dataran Merdeka as the reason why the police shifted their position from “token resistance” back to their old ways.

Others were more crass, calling those who stormed the barricade as “hooligans” who took the law into their own hands despite the court order banning the crowd being inside the square. These so-called law abiding citizens of course do not ask questions like “which law?” or “whose courts?”

Then there are of course others who treat the rally as simply a parade, and that being peaceful means abiding by even the unfair laws symbolised by the barbed wires. Some are clearly been under the illusion that Bersih 3.0 was our answer to the Rio carnival.

Their political loyalty is only laid bare upon reading their ‘eyewitness’ reports taking pains to point out that majority of rally goers were not opposition supporters. In their inability to overcome their inborn allergy of opposition parties such as PAS and PKR, they even make the claim that shouts of ‘reformasi’ were not entertained by the crowd.

One eyewitness, none other than the daughter of Dr Mahathir Mohamad, even points out that no political leader in the country could have mobilised something as big as Bersih. (Gentle reminder: 14 years ago, 100,000 people gathered at the same spot in support of a certain individual that her father despises.)

The truth is that shouts of ‘reformasi’ and ‘Hancur Najib’ were reverberating in liberal doses on that day. Anyone who was there would tell you that slogans against Barisan Nasional had echoed with the same fury and spirited volume as the “non-partisan” shouts of “Bersih” or “Hidup Rakyat”, and spiralled later into the LRT coaches and nearby restaurants.

Those who claim otherwise could be living in their smart sound-proofed walls of wishful thinking, selectively erasing out words they couldn’t stomach.

Clamour for reform takes on a life of its own

Whatever the instructions given by Bersih leaders, the fact is that the clamour for electoral reforms has taken on a life of its own. It is therefore naive to expect that the tens of thousands of people who went there should not storm the barricade, having been told to be as close as possible to Dataran Merdeka.

A video clip going around on the Internet purportedly shows PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim giving the green light to his deputy president Azmin Ali (arrow) to open the barricades blocking Dataran Merdeka.

This clip is then used by some to condemn Anwar as the cause of the police brutality that followed.

I for one have never vehemently come to Anwar’s defence other than my profound sympathy for the vile allegations that he and family have been made to endure. But if Anwar had indeed called for the barricades to be torn down, I really don’t mind putting a photograph of him as my desktop wallpaper!

The truth is that we all went there to break the law. A law devoid of fair play and justice, a law which is enforced to the detriment of ordinary citizens. The barricades blocking our march into Dataran Merdeka are the clearest and most tangible symbol of the government’s animosity to the ordinary public. It would be foolish to be there and not dismantle them.

We did not go there to merely shout and punch the air. We probably did so last year, singing in the rain at the gates of Stadium Merdeka.

This time, it is serious business. There is no time to waste. We are talking about tens of thousands of dubious names in the electoral roll, new voters whose citizenship are suspicious, the continued Big Brother mentality of our tax-funded television channels, and many more.

The peoples of Tunisia and Egypt would not have celebrated the downfalls of their tyrants had they followed the law and stayed outside the perimeters of the heavily fortified Tahrir Square. History is full of examples that for change to happen, removing police barricades is a norm, indeed the act has become a main ingredient of peaceful protests to claim back public places and venues denied to them.

It does not justify any high handedness by the security forces. History is replete with such examples. Change could not have happened if Iranians had obeyed the law against demonstrations during the Shah’s tyranny in 1979, or if the Berlin Wall had not been vandalised in 1989, or if Gandhi had not picked up salt during his 240-mile Salt March in 1930, or if Rosa Parks had not stuck her butt in a bus seat in Alabama in 1955.

Pakatan Rakyat leaders should not pay attention to the constant focus by the police and the Umno media on the storming of the barricade, as if the act were a grave threat against public safety.

This is no time to defend from accusations of violence and vandalism. People were angry, they want reforms. More importantly, they want them now. There is no need to waste time claiming ‘agents provocateurs’ amongst the crowd.

Playing into the hands of propaganda  

I find nothing wrong in what some protesters did at Dataran, and simply accusing them of being ‘agents provocateurs’ is not only cliched but also plays into the hands of propaganda. There is no use compiling evidence to back claims of police brutality.

Now is not the time to seek an apology for the treatment meted out on protesters, but an apology over the way institutions of democracy have been raped and systematically undermined. After all, it is why we braved the tear gas, defied police warnings, and by the same logic, stormed the barricades at Dataran Merdeka.

The April 28 rally is not a tea party or simply a ‘walk’ as some who participated in it would like to think. Those who feel we should not have stormed the barricades at Dataran might as well stay home clicking at the ‘like’ button of anti-government Facebook pages, or disappear into some obscure stadium as suggested by the Kuala Lumpur mayor, in keeping with the stand that DAP vice-chairperson Tunku Aziz Tunku Ibrahim has taken.

My only regret was that I was not part of the crowd who tore down the barricades. I was suffering from a tear gas attack near Masjid Jamek, with the multiracial ‘hooligans’-cum-‘pharmacists’ coming to my help offering toothpaste, salt and water, before charging towards a police force that is armed to the teeth and trained to injure.

To those who fail to understand why we defied the law that day, I have this to say: “Kalau takut dengan risiko, jangan bicara soal perjuangan”. Pull aside, chew the gum of defeat and watch the show. That will be better than accusing those who risked personal safety to hammer in the urgency of reforms. To paraphrase a verse from the Qur’an, not equal are those who stay home and those who strive hard with their wealth and their lives.

Was können Digitale Whiteboards?

Ein digitales Whiteboard wird auch als interaktives Board oder auch Smartboard bezeichnet. Dieses digitale Whiteboard wird an einen Beamer angeschlossen und an die Wand projiziert und ist an einen Computer angeschlossen. Durch diese Projektion kann man für alle sichtbar den Computer bedienen und eingaben machen. Dies geschieht durch Sensoren und man kann die Tasten entweder durch einen kabellosen Stift, der mit einer Batterie betrieben wird oder per Fingerdruck bedienen.

Digitales Whiteboard an verschiedenen deutschen Schulen
An verschiedenen deutschen Schulen wird schon so ein digitales Whiteboard eingesetzt, als Ersatz für die Schultafel. Dies hat der Vorteil, dass man komplette Tafelbilder speichern kann und zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt wieder in der Klasse verwenden kann. Oftmals wird so ein im Unterricht entwickeltes Tafelbild in Papierform an die Schüler verteilt, sodass es dann als Lernhilfe dient beziehungsweise als Gedankenstütze eingesetzt wird. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt gegenüber herkömmlichen Schultafeln sind die Sauberkeit und das Fehlen von Kreidestaub.

Heftige Diskussionen um die neuen Technologien
Wie bei allen neuen Technologien gibt es auch hier Menschen, die dem Whiteboard, vor allem in Schulen kritisch gegenüberstehen. So sehen sie auch den hohen Strombedarf und das des Öfteren die Birnen von den Beamern defekt sind. Vielleicht ist das auch der Grund, warum das Whiteboard hier in Deutschland, noch nicht an allen Schulen eingesetzt wird. Aber die Technologie wird immer besser und so ein Whiteboard ist auf jeden Fall praktisch und sollte mehr eingesetzt werden. Denn Firmen haben das Whiteboard schon lange als nützliches Werkzeug für ihre Firmen erkannt und nutzen diese moderne Präsentationstechnik.

政權的底氣,算的就是人頭


去年709净选盟2.0集会的出席人数,净选盟声称有超过5万人,警方的数据则是5、6千人;近日的428净选盟3.0集会,净选盟号称有25万至30万人出席,警方的说法则是2万5千人左右。

到底净选盟有没有夸大出席人数,警方有没有报小数,以现今的高空摄影乃至卫星摄影技术,要计算出来并不是困难的事,所以无论是净选盟或警方,对本身发布的数据应该都心里有数。重点在于,出席集会的人数,不仅仅是一个数字游戏,而是具有关键的指标价值,此所以双方都要发布属于自己的统计,因为这组数字多少透露出了目前国阵政权的底气,究竟有多扎实。

如果参与428集会的人数,和709集会的人数不相上下,或仅仅增加少许,那么国阵政府大可松一口气。但是现在无论是根据净选盟或执政当局的统计,428人数确定比709人数多上许多,这就不能不使纳吉政府忧心忡忡。

在2010到2011年间席卷中东国家的“茉莉花革命”,相继下台或被推翻的独裁者如突尼斯的本阿里、埃及的穆巴拉克、也门的萨利赫、利比亚的卡达菲等,除了卡达菲是被群众虐死之外,本阿里、穆巴拉克和萨利赫都是被迫自动交出权力。四个独裁者下场的一个共同点是,他们并不是在选举中(如果他们的国家有选举或者有公平选举的话),被人民的选票所否决的,而是在绵延不绝、规模不断扩张的群众示威浪潮中,被逼得黯然下台。

这就是428集会出席人数具有指标价值的原因所在——民主选举固然是建立或否决一个政权统治合法性的最文明方式,但是群众走上街头的规模,从来都是决定一个政权认受性的最原始指标。因此本阿里、穆巴拉克、萨利赫和卡达菲,固然并不是被选票所推翻,事实上也无需被选票所推翻,因为只要看上街反政府的群众规模,立即就能检验出他们政权的底气。

国阵的情况,当然还不至于像那几个北非国家那么坏。问题是,在上届大选,国阵获得国会议席的总得票率是50.38%,只比反对党的46.63%高出一些,而在半岛,国阵的得票率却比反对党的50.23%低,即49.65%。虽然在较后的一系列补选中,各族选票都有程度不一的向国阵回流的趋势,尤其是在乡区或半城乡地区,此外,根据民调,首相纳吉的民意整体上也持续高企,但是国阵要夺回国会3分2议席优势,恐怕并不容易。

执政当局是选择接纳群众诉求,还是继续镇压群众抗争,这视乎群众上街的规模是否已到达足以威胁政权存续的临界点。中国广东乌坎村村民反抗官商勾结、私卖土地的运动,中共当局从开始时风声鹤唳的镇压,到后来几乎全盘接受村民诉求并圆满解决课题,其中情势的大转变,最能说明所谓临界点的存在。

428集会使国阵再次失分,成为这个老牌政治联盟的另一场公关灾难,但是危机总包含着转机,如果纳吉有诚意推动国家的真正改革转型,那么出席集会的人数,恰恰是他能够用以抗衡执政集团内阻挡改革的顽固分子的最强大后盾。

BERSIH 3.0: A Celebration Of Unity, An Awakening For Liberation

28 April 2012 shall go down in the nation’s history as Merdeka Rakyat when 300,000 rakyat spoke in one voice to demand a free and fair election. The women, youth and men of all races and ages who came down in full force were encouraged by a sense of justice to demand liberation from usurpers. Their message cannot be mistaken – a free country cannot be enslaved anymore.

BERSIH3.0 represents the hopes and dreams of all Malaysians that the political legitimacy of any government in the future can only be attained through a genuine democratic process.

The authority’s response to BERSIH3.0 participants who represent million others across the country is thus an utter disappointment. It is a classic statecraft of authoritarian regimes using the state controlled media to turn the masses who are victims of oppression and brutalities into criminals.

I bear witness to the political awakening of the rakyat as I marched with them from Masjid Negara. The atmosphere was one of enlightenment, rejuvenation and hope. It was an exemplary conduct of a peaceful assembly; a celebration of freedom and unity in the truest sense.

This is the achievement of BERSIH3.0 that will stand the test of time. The rakyat will commemorate 28 April 2012 as the day Malaysia woke up and marched for liberation in one voice.

We shall not be intimidated by continuous lies spawned by the state media. We have a much potent and effective media in our hands as the 300,000 rakyat carry the messages of BERSIH3.0 and liberation to every corner of the nation.
Let the rakyat speak and justice prevail.

 Harakah

Ketika pimpinan PAS mempertegaskan ahlinya bersih dan berdisiplin, tulisan bekas Setiausaha Umno Bahagian, Zahrin Mohd Yasin bahawa sekurang-kurangnya 2,000 anggota polis memakai baju Bersih Sabtu lalu menarik perhatian ramai.

Dalam tulisannya Sabtu lalu, Zaharin atau Sang Kelembai itu menulis, “polis dah lebih cerdik dari dulu… dia bahagikan anggotanya dua pasukan, satu pakai uniform polis, satu pasukan lagi pakai baju Bersih, tergelak saya jumpa seorang kawan yang masih polis, pegawai lagi dari Pahang, pakai baju kuning dan terpekik ayat reformasi.”

“Saya tak tegur dia pun. Tapi bila tengok kat lengan dia ada getah warna kuning.

“Dan, saya jumpa banyak yang pakai getah yang sama… saya rasa terjaminlah dalam kumpulan pencacai yang tidak tahu apa benda ini,” kata beliau.

Apabila seorang pengunjung menjawab tulisan asal itu dengan berkata, “ramai itu.”

Zaharin terus menulis, “Jika berapa pun dia kata… kena tolak tak kurang dua ribu adalah polis dalam kumpulan Bersih.”

“Yang menafikan mereka pun puak pakai kemeja-T Bersih untuk rempuh sekatan polis, yang baling objek pun saya rasa polis, macam mereka buat latihan demonstrasi kat polis depoh. Hehehe, puak-puak Pas bodoh ini iut nyer,” tambah Zaharin dalam tulisan itu.

Gambar-gambar mula tersebar kini tentang polis yang dikatakan menyamar itu.

Misalnya aksi seorang peserta perhimpunan membuat ‘flying kit’ ke atas seorang polis trafik.

Beliau juga didapati kemudiannya yang menangkap para peserta demonstrasi yang lain.

 

(Gambar siapakah ini yang menendang polis dengan gelang kuning di tangannya.  Gambar ini kini tersebar luas)

 

Ada dua tempat peranan agen ‘provokasi’ ini dikesan oleh orang ramai.

Pertama, siapa yang memulakan tindakan melempar kereta polis dengan botol air sehingga pemandunya hilang pertimbangan dan merempuh tiga orang di perkarangan pasaraya Sogo.

Yang kedua adalah tindakan memecahkan tembok penghalang yang dibina oleh DBKL mengelilingi Dataran Merdeka.

Siapakah mereka sehingga kini masih belum dapat dikesan dengan nyata.

Pihak penganjur Bersih 3.0 pula menuntut kerajaan membuat siasatan menyeluruh terhadap perhimpunan kali ini.

Peranan media tradisional yang dikuasai Umno dan BN juga mendapat kecaman dari pemerhati antarabangsa yang datang untuk membuat pemerhatian mereka terhadap perhimpunan kali ini.

Bercakap dalam sidang media mereka  semalam, Senator Nick Xenophon dari Australia berkata, “perhimpunan ini aman sehinggalah mereka diprovok.”

Beliau juga mengkritik laporan dari TV yang jelas melaporkan secara sebelah pihak.

“Mainstream media berat sebelah dan tidak adil. Kami lihat lebih laporan Perdana Menteri Najib (Tun Razak) di Sabah dalam TV dari peristiwa yang lebih besar tentang rakyat Malaysia,” kata Xenophon.

Seorang lagi ahli dari pasukan 7-anggota itu,  India Times editor MJ Akbar, berkata peserta sebenarnya dalam mood berpesta.

“Orang ramai mempunyai masa yang cukup kalau mereka mahu bertindak ganas. Tetapi mereka berpesta sehinggalah berlakunya provokasi,” kata Akbar.

Kami Tidak Arah Rempuh Sekatan Polis

Malaysiakini

Ketua umum PKR Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim menegaskan bahawa beliau dan timbalannya Azmin Ali tidak mengeluarkan arahan supaya untuk merempuh pagar kawat duri polis yang dipasang di sekeliling Dataran Merdeka pada Sabtu.
Anwar bagaimanapun berkata, beliau akan mempertahan tindakan mengalihkan sekatan berkenaan yang disifatkannya bukan satu kesalahan.

Dengan sinis, beliau bertanya sekiranya memasuki Dataran merupakan satu kesalahan besar berbanding perbuatan menipu dalam pilihan raya.

BERSIH 3.0: Rakaman Penuh Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim Di Dataran Merdeka

Nota Admin

Diatas merupakan rakaman penuh peristiwa di Dataran Merdeka yang berlangsungnya demonstrasi Duduk Dan Bantah. Kelihatan jelas sekitar minit 4:30 dimana Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim memberi arahan kepada peserta untuk belok ke kanan iaitu kearah Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman.Sementara itu Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim juga meminta YB Azmin Ali turun berunding dengan pasukan Polis agar membenarkan peserta masuk ke Dataran Merdeka.

Amat memalukan apabila melihat pihak tidak bertanggungjawab terus memutar belit fakta memfitnah kononnya Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan YB Azmin Ali memberi arahan kepada peserta untuk merempuh masuk kedalam kawasan Dataran Merdeka dan menjadi punca kekacauan. Dalam rakaman ini juga jelas ada suara peserta yang mengesahkan bahawa arahan kedua tokoh tersebut untuk berundur ke Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman manakala suara Chegubard amat jelas memberi arahan yang sama menggunakan pembesar suara.

So Techduology‘s 1st LIVE recording happened today at Starbucks TTDI and it was AWESOME!

Ben and I have been doing this weekly tech videocast since last year and we finally managed to pull everything together to organise a LIVE recording!
The turnout was awesome. We actually expected 30-40 people to come and guess what… 80 people came! AMAGAD!

So here are some photos of the event just now.

The 2 hemsem hosts with our new bunting outside of Starbucks.

The crowd. 80 people!!

Just like our weekly video, we had a few segments.. tech news, gadget reviews and app recomendations.. but during the live recording just now, we added guests interviews and games. Look how happy our guests were, Phat Fabes and Chammaine.

Wah.. studying also come ah!? ahaha cos we had gadgets to give out throughout the show.

Sooo many gadgets to give out it was not even funny. Check this out.. we gave out the SONY Xperia S!

We gave out LOTS of toys/gadgets from Geekzen!

We gave out PUMA goodies!

We gave out 2TB HDD from Western Digital!

We gave out Starbucks merchandises!

We also had few rounds of games to get everyone excited and fresh.

I’d say it was a great gathering/show. Turnout was fastastic… free food and drinks for all… gadgets was awesome… everything went smoothly.

We even trended on Twitter! #techduoLIVE was at the No.3 Trending Topic! Woohoo!

Bersih 3.0: Pictorial Depiction of the Event

This is a pictorial representation of the Bersih 3.0 Rally held on 28th April 2012. All images are from Adrian Hoe, you can visit his facebook gallery. All walks of life joins the Bersih 3.0 rally


Tel-Aviv, like Israel, Palestinian deprived of their rights to rally.


Razor wires or blade wires installed around Dataran Merdeka


Participant looking for empathy from the police.


Police sets up boundaries on Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman


People from all walks of life.


It started off with a peaceful walk.


It was literally, ‘bantah dan duduk’


I guess he was shouting ‘reformasi’, but looked pretty much like someone who’s heading to the stadium to support the Perak Football Team.


Lurking around, curious about things happening.


Walk in peace, no disruption, with exception taking the whole two lane.


Far top left, police didn’t really bother, everyone was enjoying the walk.


I gotta say, some use pretty harsh words.


I have no idea what this uncle wrote. Some help please?


That is a pretty huge turn out. There’s a few more routes like this.


The Hijau Anti Lynas joined Bersih 3.0 afterwards.


Not sure where this is, but looked stuffy.


Penangites came down to KL when they could even do it at their state.


Stranded at Masjid Jamek, no LRT was going to stop. RapidKL kept issuing tickets despite shorting the Masjid Jamek station, soon it became a can of sardine.


Police started shooting the tear gas. I read somewhere, there was a trespass. Notice the smoke from the LRT track above? People kept saying it was planted there, but I think police shot the canisters and landed there.


People were panicking and running away when water canon starts spraying.


This is an ugly sight, not because Bersih rally was littering, they made a run for their life and decided to leave everything they don’t need behind. That includes thong, flip-flops, shoes, drinks, flags etc.


These guns are supposed to be fired in the air, not eye level.


Police has managed to push back the Bersih 3.0 participant, though I reckon brute force isn’t the only way to get people moving.


Some other part of KL, people were rallying for the cause peacefully until…


.. the police force unleashed their demons. Unnecessary.. really unnecessary. I doubt the people were provoking the police to get them. Nobody wants to play chase the chicken with police officers.


Police got hold of his pony tail and decided to discipline them, but why aren’t they wearing uniforms? Are they undercover police officers? Or just some Nepal Security at my office building. This doesn’t make sense. Appreciate if anyone can shed some lights on this.


The guy with the pony tail fell and was being stomped by police officers with high heel boot as if he’s some recycling can. I bet those boot hurts like bitch! Clearly the police was at fault in this. He wasn’t even resisting an arrest and you still kept beating him to pulp.

Good or bad, shit or gold, fucktard or mastermind, muslim or buddhist, it doesn’t matter. These people (Bersih 3.0) stood there to fight their rights, don’t condemn like you’re so innocent that you’ve never masturbated in life. One day, it will be your turn to fight for your right, but which channel are you taking? The behind closed door comments or the loud international gathering. It doesn’t matter, as long as we respect each other’s rights

Malaysian Police Killed A Demonstrator In Bersih 3.0? [Pics+Video]

As most of us Malaysians have known, yesterday was the big day for our country as thousands gathered at respective places in different states to participate in the Bersih 3.0 demonstration. It was supposed to be a peaceful demonstration, urging to government to make our elections more transparent, fair and just. Some might see it as a great day for our country's democracy amid being treated with a choke-ful of tear gas...however it was a gloomy day for the family members of a demonstrator who was killed by the Malaysian Police...a tragic day for all Malaysians...

Photobucket
Is this the demonstrator who was killed?

Correction...it should be...a police car (WAJA) lost its control and rammed straight into a crowd of Bersih 3.0 demonstrators. 5 people were unfortunately knocked down in this accident. 2 of them were badly injured and 1  of the Bersih 3.0 demonstrators died due to broken neck and serious head trauma. OMG! Why did this happen? So far I can't tell whether the police driver did it on purpose to ram into the crowd or...(to be fair) he, himself was injured  by the demonstrators who pelted object at him, causing him to lose his control over the car?

Photobucket
A police car was seen being attacked by the Bersih 3.0 demonstrators.

Photobucket
The police car then lost its control and rammed into the demonstrators.

Photobucket
Can you anyone being knocked down?

Photobucket
The other demonstrators then overturned the car because
there were people being pinned under the car.

Photobucket
So what really happened?

It is reported that the name demonstrator who was killed is Khairun Naivee. What will happen to his immediate family? Will they be proud of him championing Bersih 3.0 for the sake of democracy at the expense of his own life? Or they would rather, want him to stay at home with them? It's too late. Haih...why does such a tragedy need to happen? Why someone has to die? Is this the price that we need to pay? Then again did any of you have more information about this whole tragic accident? Is this for real? I have seen the videos (below) but I can't see anyone being pinned under the overturned police car...


Malaysian Police Car Rammed Into Bersih 3.0 Demonstrators.


P.S.: My condolence to the family who has lost their son...

Bersih 3.0, a medical field report

HOTM was in the thick of the action

At about 3pm ( I think. Not exactly sure ) all hell broke loose. I am not sure why. From Maybank, Jln Yap Ah Loy, I could see people running towards me from the Dataran Mederka end.. Then I could hear the popping of the teargas gun. I run as far as my artificial left hip could carry me, when into smaller lane and hid in a Sport Toto shop, and the many of us there, convince the clerk to shut the shutters. We could still hear teargas popping outside . The tear gas was very thick.After all was quiet for about 5 mins, I told the clerk that I must get back on duty. When the shutters opened, the air was still thick with teargas.
As I walk towards Jln Tun Perak, tying to regroup, the police chase us and fired more tear gas. While I was running for safety, a Chinese man tapped me and asked for help. His wife was bleeding badly from an open wound in the right temple of her scalp. He said that she had been hit by a tear gas cannister. I asked her to lie down, as I tried to examined the wound. I could see a severe spurter ( ? arterial bleed ). As I was examining, I could hear popping and they were still firing tear gas and there I was with my Medic Vest. It meant nothing to them. I asked the husband to help me half carry her to another small side road behind Kota Raya, lie her on the hawker table and attended to her wound, It was obvious that she needed hospital attention. I radioed for help, but after 10 mins, I could hear almost mayhem over the walkie talkie. I asked my team to help me bandaged her scalp wound with pressure bandage, hail down a passing Honda Accord. The driver was kind enough to agree , and send her to Tung Shin Hospital 5 mins away, with one of my doctors and the husband.
There after, I had to attend to another tear gas cannister scalp injury. This was minor. An obese man developed severe asthma ? exertional running ? tear gas allergy, and my team had to attend to him. Also stailised him and send him by private car to Tung Shin hospital.
This is basically the medical report of Medic 3, Bersih 3.0

Tear gas should not be fired directly at persons. Injury or even death may occur as a result of a direct hit from a tear gas cannister. Isn’t this something the FRU should be aware of?
