Bersih 2.0

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have sealed off all major roads leading to the heart of the capital, telling people to stay away from any rally Saturday.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the police had acted fairly in not issuing any permit to hold rallies.

The Sultan of Selangor said mosques and surau should not be used as a meeting place by those who come from other places to join in the street demonstrations.

The Ruler told his subjects to also stay away from street protests, saying this would harm the unity of the people. However, Bersih 2.0, Umno Youth and Perkasa look set to press ahead with their plans.

Bersih 2.0 insisted that its supporters will gather at Stadium Merdeka while Umno Youth under its Patriot umbrella will march at Jalan Bukit Bintang.


Perkasa has told its members to “stroll” around Tasik Titiwangsa.

‘Meek’ Kadazandusun leaders, wasted opportunities

When it comes to the crunch, Sabah politicians who for decades have been clamouring for clean elections and for the electoral rolls to be purged of dubious voters, are found wanting in the wake of Bersih 2.0′s call for reforms.

Outspoken figures like Jeffrey Kitingan, Joseph Pairin Kitingan, Bernard Giluk Dompok,
Yong Teck Lee, Joseph Kurup, Madius Tangau and even Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing, to name
a few, were once synonymous with untiring calls to clear the state electoral rolls of phantom voters.

But no more. Today, save for Yong, all are mere spectators.

Sabah police in surprise raid on SAPP HQ

Why is the Barisan Nasional government so
paranoid of the word Bersih and yellow
colour? asks a party leader.

KOTA KINABALU: The word ‘Bersih’ (clean) will need some cleaning up after police found it inappropriate to be used on a signboard here.

Police in a midnight operation at the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) headquarters in the city questioned officials on a signpost painted with the Malay slogan “Bersih, Berani and Benar” (Clean, Brave and Truth).

Rally participants not creating havoc, it’s the police

The federal government was wrong to backtrack
on its promise to allow Bersih 2.0 to hold its
rally in an indoor stadium, says Sabah
politician Jeffrey Kitingan.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah NGO, United Borneo Front (UBF), has urged the federal government to allow the Bersih 2.0 rally organisers to hold the event in a stadium and not make it difficult for the people to access the venue.

Its president, Jeffrey Kitingan, said that by creating unnecessary road blocks, the police would be the ones creating traffic havoc, and not the rally participants.

The reasons behind Pakatan Rakyat Government's downfall in Perak

By Raja Petra Kamarudin

All of us know what happened in Perak. However what many do not know is why it happened.

If you can remember, it took one week for the Perak and Selangor State Governments to be sworn in after the March 2008 General Election. The Sultans of these two states wanted to first ‘discuss the matter’ with members of the Pakatan Rakyat State Assembly. The Sultans then set certain terms and conditions before agreeing to swear in the new Pakatan Rakyat State Governments.
