We’ve had 3 BERSIH rallies demanding a slew of electoral reforms.
What did they give us?
An indelible ink which was not indelible.
And how is it that with just 47% of the votes cast, Najib & Co are still in Putrajaya?
We may never know how much of that 47% was made up of stolen postal votes, phantom voters, and foreigners bussed in to vote at selected constituencies, but I have no doubt in my mind that key to UMNO / BN retaining Putrajaya notwithstanding their having failed to garner a majority of the legitimate votes cast was the gerrymandering and malapportionment.
EC has now said that the re-drawing of the constituency boundaries must be concluded by year end.
If this task is to be undertaken by the presently constituted EC, do not be surprised if, at the next GE, taking 30% of the legitimate votes cast will see UMNO / BN returned to Putrajaya again.
The KL112 rally in January this year was the first rally since Bersih 2 and Bersih 3 that was held in a stadium.
Many were rather surprised that KL112 witnessed a complete change in stance on the part of police authorities compared to the violence inflicted during the Bersih rallies.
Was there a re-thinking on how to deal with these people rallies?
Get us indoors, perhaps?
After all, there’ve been a string of Black 505 rallies through the country , many indoors, with huge attendances screaming ‘SPR undur’ , ‘Hidup Rakyat’ and whatever else, and police assisting.
A couple of hours later, it’s all over.
We come, we scream, and we go.
And we begin to ask ourselves ‘Where is all this leading to?’.
Indeed, where?
The EC members are still there, and appear determined to stay.
I think we, too, need a re-think on these rallies.
We come, we scream, and we go isn’t working.
It’s time to rally and tell the EC, Najib & Co that we aren’t leaving until the present EC goes en bloc.
My friends and I at Padang Merbok here tonight hope that this encampment here is the humble beginning of that rally.

And pakatan MP’s will still accept the election results and shall be sworn in on Monday and receive all the perks.
Let the rakyat do the donkey job. Camp out in the haze and get sick

What do you expect the Pakatan MPs to do, Carlos? Camp outside the Parliament?

The point that needs to be made and asked of the present Commission is with what authority, credibility and honesty can they do and be trusted to do the redelineation work? When they cannot even carry out a honest and clean elections what moral authority do they have for carrying out the next , what I would call, a more important job?

Maybe it would be better to demonstrate at SPR’s office.
The venue of a demonstration is as important as the demonstration. That’s why workers demonstrate at site rather than outside.

Take the EC duo to court for ‘cheating’ the rakyat of malaysia with the delible ink & passing if off as indelible ink? That may be the only way to effectively remove them.
And for those who say the MPs are going to take their oath & perks, I say they’re doing their job, silly! We fought so hard to get them in, so they should go to Parliament and do their work, taruh those DUMNO b*****t!! Yes, we were cheated, so we fight on. In Parliament and outside. Can’t volunteer time & energy? Then just give money. Give to ABU, SAMM & ANAK. If we want to win in the next round, we have to make sure ANAK can penetrate the Malay heartland. And we can’t do it only when election is called. The works continues now.
