SOLDIERS IN BLACK, FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY’






By : FMT STAFF

PETALING JAYA: The Blackout 505 rally at Dataran PJ here against the various misconducts in the recently concluded general election kicked off at 5.15pm with more than 3,000 people in attendance.

By 9pm, the organisers claimed that the rally had attracted about 50,000 people.

Almost everyone in the crowd was dressed in black and carried the flags of Pakatan Rakyat parties. The rally kicked off with the rendition of Negaraku, followed by speeches from NGO leaders.

Ekhsan Bukharee Badrul Hisham of Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia, emcee for the rally, said the rally was held mainly to urge the EC chief to step down.

“The main reason for us to gather here is to urge the chief of the corrupt EC to resign after all the fraud that took place during GE13,” he said.

“We as Malaysians also want a re-election at constituencies which electoral fraud could be proved,” he added.

The highlight of the rally would be speeches by Pakatan leaders, including Anwar Ibrahim, on how the election was ‘stolen’ from them. Pakatan has accused the Election Commission of colluding with Barisan Nasional to ensure a victory for BN.

Some of the rally participants were seen stomping of photographs of EC bosses, clearly showing their anger over the way the election was conducted.

The crowd also chanted ‘BN tumbang’, ‘Najib tumbang’ and ‘EC tumbang’.

The speakers meanwhile urged the EC officials to resign and for fresh elections to be held in constituencies where fraud was rampant.

‘Now face our wrath’

Student activist KS Bawani who shot to fame with the infamous ‘Listen, listen, listen’ video clip that went viral on the social network, also expressed her dissatisfaction over GE13.

“We have warned the EC and the government to play it fair at the elections, but they robbed us off a fair election. Now face our wrath,” she said.

“All of you here, are here not only as Malaysians but as soldiers clad in black. Fighting to win for democracy,” she added.

Bawani also said that Malaysians are not daft and will not allow the cheating to go on. She stressed that the arrests under the Sedition Act will not stop the people from standing up for their rights.

“We have learnt to fight the hard way.

“They can arrest one thousand people but I assure you, another thousand will spawn,” she said.

Seri Setia state assemblyman Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad meanwhile urged Malaysians to come forth and continue to make police reports if they had witnessed electoral fraud during the GE.

“It’s not enough that we gather and protest, all those who have encountered electoral fraud, including dissatisfaction on the indelible ink, should lodge police reports,” he said.

Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia’s (SAMM) Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Che’gubard, also managed to address the crowd before a pause for Muslim prayers.

“Isn’t BN ashamed to take oath as the new government despite the fact that the popular votes showed a clear Pakatan win?” he asked.

Badrul also announced that another major rally would be held at Dataran Merdeka soon to express the people’s dismay over the ‘faulty’ election results.

Minister’s warning

The rally today follows a series of nationwide rallies organised by Pakatan to highlight to the people on the alleged electoral fraud.

The police have warned that the rally today was illegal as the organisers have not given the police the required 10-day notice as required by the Peaceful Assembly Act.

Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has also warned the participants that action would be taken against them for participating in an illegal rally.

However the police were not seen in the vicinity although several trucks with Federal Reserve Unit personnel have been seen passing by. Traffic policemen meanwhile helped in keeping the traffic flow smooth.

A larger crowd is expected to gather here later, especially when the big guns start arriving to give their ceramah.

PKR is also holding its national congress in the nearby PJ Civic Centre and its leaders and members are expected to join in as soon as they finish with their business.

The rally today is organised by a group of more than 50 NGOs. The organisers have said that the rally was part of a Pakatan Selangor state government programme to meet up with voters.

“There is no question of obtaining permit and the people should not have any fear in attending,” said a spokesperson for Gabungan ‘Suara Rakyat 505′.

  1. Bermula di Petaling Jaya dan beberapa bandar di Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim 'melalak' kepinginkan jawatan Perdana Menteri. Beribu-ribu penyokong 'bangang' yang termakan hasutan Anwar Ibrahim 'berguduh-guduh' memenuhi perkarangan atau tempat berlangsungnya 'rally'.

  2. Atas kepercayaan bahawa keputusan pilihan PRU 13 akan terubah nampaknya 'jauh panggang dari api'. Rally yang didemonasi olih kumpulan yang 'tertekan' atau yang tidak bolih menerima keputusan rakyat dibawa olih Anwar Ibrahim untuk 'memuaskan; hatinya.

  3. Kini kisah terbaru, Karpal Singh , rakan bantalnya sendiri, sudah mula muak dan jelak dengan perlakuan Anwar Ibrahim . Dengan rela hati Karpal Singh membuat laporan polis berhubung 'tidak mahu bersengkokol' dengan tindakan Anwar yang mengheret penyokongnya. Begitu juga dengan PAS bahawa PAS menerima ketentuan rakyat terhadap keputusan PRU13.

  4. Sejauh mana dan selama mana Anwar Ibrahim bolih mengheret pengikutnya hanya masa yang menentukan. Tetapi kalau dilihat secara realitinya, 'agenda' untuk menngguling Kerajaan Rakyat yang dipilih melalui PRU sedang dicabar, Melalui 'himpunan jalanan' yang digerakan Anwar Ibrahim , menginginkan agar berlaku pertembungan diantara pihak berkuasa dengan pengikutnya namun semua itu masih lagi terkawal dan suhu yang mendidih dan cercaan yang dilakukan nampaknya semakin hari semakin panas.

  5. Walau apapun rakyat ataupun orang Melayu masih lagi bersabar dengan kerenah Anwar Ibrahim. Penghujung 'kisah' Anwar Ibrahim ini, akan berkesudahan , Anwar akan disingkirkan olih rakannya didalam Pakatan. Dalam masa yang terdekat, PAS akan 'memutuskan' silatulrahim' yang terjalin dengan 'teman sebantal'nya.Dengan 'terpisah'nya pendirian Karpal Singh terhadap Anwar akan 'membakar' lagi perasaan Anwar terhadap DAP.

  6. Kamaruk Anwar Ibrahim ini akan berakhir apabila rakan Pakatan dan pengikutnya sedikit demi-sedikit meninggalkan 'perjuangan' sia-sia Anwar Ibrahim ini. "Scrip" untuk Anwar Ibrahim tidak ada jawatan Perdana Menteri untuknya, tetapi, ketentuan Allah SWT ini juga yang ingin dicabarnya disebabkan 'nafsu serakah' dan 'jiwa syaitan'nya yang bergelojak.

  7. Disebabkan kesedaran Anwar Ibrahim akan kecundangnya gagasan yang di panggil Pakatan Rakyat ditangan Kerajaan Barisan Nasional, maka, beberapa strategi telah diatur untuk 'mengucar-kacirkan' keharmonian ditanah air. Dalam masa terdekat ini, kaum Cina akan mula menolak Anwar apabila mereka dapati 'keuntungan politik' dan 'keuntungan perniagaan' mereka akan terjejas teruk dan akan mengakibatkan 'pasaran saham' yang kaum Cina miliki mulai merudum.

  8. Kini kita akan tengok bertapa Cina akan menggelupur apabila 'perniagaan' mereka mula terjejas dengan teruk. Sikap orang Melayu yang sudah mula "memboikot' produk hasil kaum Cina akan membuatkan kaum Cina terasa bahang panasnya. Kaum Cina akan mula terasa terhimpit dengan 'tindak tanduk'nya yang menyokong Anwar Ibrahim. Peniga Cina akan mula 'bersuara' membantah perlakuan DAP tetapi semua itu sudah terlambat.
