  2. BERSIH 3.0 hanyalah permainan pembangkang. Ambiga tidak sepatutnya kita sokong.

  10. Durin the rally , there was no chaos: Businesses are not affected. In fact coffee shops have more customers. Apart from that, the transportation business also benefited.

  11. This has proven that chaos was not intended, as and violence is not the way of life of Sabahan: The Sabahans that had participated the event had expressed their worries as well as the concerns relating the issues that has been highlighted in the past few years in a dignified manner. The same can't be said to the participants of similar rally in KL.
