A new dawn? May Chee

Woke up around 7am today, after about five hours of sleep. By the way, "Selamat Hari Merdeka" folks!

My husband as well as you went for the Janji Demokrasi Merdeka Countdown during the time building in Malacca last night. Again, it was an additional heartwarming experience. Syabas to all those who collected there as well as elsewhere for the Janji Demokrasi!

This time around, no unfavourable incidents, you hear. That's good, unequivocally good. See, if you have everyone's great intentions in mind, all would be swell.

We left the residence during 9pm. There was ample parking around the designated area. As you walked towards the time tower, you could see cops as well as Rela personnel already in position. Since you were early, you walked towards Jonker, anticipating to join the little people during the stage. Along the way, you met the little friends, so you headed for the stage together. Some yellow shirts were upon foot in the conflicting direction. They were heading towards the time tower. All youths. Good, you thought!

At the stage, there was the handful of yellow shirts as well as the organisation of around 15 members from the Unit Amal PAS. By 9.30pm the organisation had swelled to utterly the outrageous number. After receiving the organisation photograph during the foot of the stage, the Unit Amal youngsters led us to the time tower. Before that, you were told to be during the most appropriate behaviour, not to incite nor bushel the traffic. We walked upon the pavement as well as during all times, the Unit Amal boys done certain trade for the public was smooth. Though the folks along Jonker were burning incense as well as the little alternative things (Ghost Month?), the Unit Amal boys superbly braved the remains (some drifting in to their faces) to beam us.

you usually adore these Unit Amal boy! s. I've seen how selfless they can be during my Bersih 2 experience. Now as well as afterwards when you see the little fools pitting us non-Muslims conflicting the Malaysian brothers as well as sisters from PAS, you feel so irritated. you might run when you see the little people though definitely not when you see these boys from the Unit Amal. you gamble my last ringgit they will lay down their lives for me, the Chinese Christian, though not their detractors! So you say to these detractors, do not waste your time spewing such venom. Our PAS brethren have my vote, any time!

At the time tower, by 10pm, the organisation was huge. The total place was swarmed with yellow shirts as well as others. Again, it was heart-warming to see Malaysians from all walks of life collected there. Young as well as old, even kids, armed with the Jalur Gemilang waving, chanting in unison, whilst waiting for the time to set upon midnight. you saw so many informed faces, as well as during the same time done the little brand brand new friends. A crony remarked which during events like this, you cannot escape the fact which we, Malaysians, have been united in wanting the most appropriate for the country. I'm so unapproachable of my associate Malaysians. you unequivocally am.

Again, my Malacca cops did us proud. Some guided trade whilst the little lined themselves along the highway to forestall the exuberant ones from rushing in to the traffic. We were around the time building as well as additionally upon the conflicting side of the highway as there wasn't sufficient room to residence all of us around the time tower. Apart from the chanting of slogans like "Hidup ,Hidup, Hidup Rakyat", "Janji, Janji, Janji Demokrasi", etc, there were additionally the little trumpeting of vuvuzelas. We additionally sang the "Negaraku". Now as well as then, when the little motorists honked their vehicles as the symbol of oneness with us, the crowd went in to the frenzy, waving their flags as well as started chanting again.

yo u saw how the younger cops wore faces of great curb amidst the din. They were unsmiling, usually because, you think, they were receiving their duties seriously. However, there was this tall, fair, policewoman who walked along the highway smiling broadly. She done the pretty picture! you additionally noticed how the little guy who during the single impulse could be chanting "Negara Bersih, Rakyat Sihat" as well as the subsequent sarcastic away with this comparison policeman. you listened which the latter was the personality of the team deployed during the time tower. Great chap; was smiling throughout. Really, you adore my Malacca cops!
