Malaysian Police turn tear gas, water cannons on protesters

While attending yesterday's rally, I have nothing but praise for the many participants of the historical event, and as a blind individual I really wish that I could have contributed more such as by marching to the Agong's palace where the memo was handed to the king's officials. Due to the amount of tear-gas that was fired into the crowd near the Sogo MRT station, I found it difficult to continue with the march. The heavy downpour also dampened the spirits of many of the demonstrators including myself, and to make things worse, the heavy handed tactics of the police was quite unnecessary. Once again, I wish to congratulate all Malaysians who took part in the march especially all those who managed to make it to the Agong's palace. All you courageous citizens of Malaysia have certainly created history, and it is my believe that the Barisan government has now more cause to worry as they are certainly aware of the discontentment that their subjects have towards them. So my dear friends, stand up for your rights, and come the forthcoming general elections. Remember to vote out this very oppressive, corrupt and discriminatory government for I strongly feel that we have been persecuted and side-lined long enough.

Malaysians hold huge rally for free elections

Today I had my first experience of having been attacked with teargas and believe you me, it was no fun. The burning sensation in my nostrils is something I will never forget for a long time. I get the impression that the heavy downpour was engineered by the ruling clique, either by conducting cloud-seeding, or by making use of the services of a bomoh. All in all, being at the rally was certainly an unpleasant experience, no thanks to the brutality of the police. Of course, the very inhuman Barisan government has to take full responsibility for what took place this afternoon. When the shouts rang out at the rally, I really felt proud for these very courageous Malaysians who made it a point to come out and show their contempt for this very tyrannical government. Although I did not make it to the palace, I wish to congratulate all those of you who did, for history will remember you for your bravery and great sacrifices.

Finally, I am indeed puzzled as to how Khairy Jamaludin can wield so much power just because he is the son-in-law of the prime minister. Furthermore, he is not even a member of parliament and yet he seems to be running the government together with all his cronies. May I remind the ruling administration that we, right thinking Malaysians are still a force to be reckoned with and will continue the struggle until we vote in a government that does not take its citizens for granted.

Allow rally for electoral reform

Glad to hear that human rights watch is aware of what is going on in Malaysia. I sincerely hope that the international media will be informed about tomorrow's gathering and will send their reporters to cover the event. We law-abiding citizens of Malaysia should not allow ourselves to be intimidated by this tyrannical government in spite of their many threats, but to go ahead with the march as planned.

Finally, Ong Ka Ting of the MCA, you have no business to speak on behalf of the Chinese community, as we do not need traitors such as Chua Soi Lek and yourself to represent us Chinese. Every right thinking Malaysian knows that UMNO is actually running the country and all other Barisan Nasional component parties have no powers whatsoever. All you greedy politicians are taking the opportunity to enrich yourselves at the expense of the Chinese community that you are supposed to serve. It is quite obvious that the MCA will be heavily
defeated during the forthcoming general elections as there is a lot of discontentment amongst Malaysians for the ruling clique which includes you bunch of cowards and hypocrites. For those of you who wish to know how I have been discriminated against by the MCA, please visit my blog at: http://alfredhosinger.blogspot.com

My dear friends, please do not forget to attend tomorrow's gathering as it is going to be history in the making, for it is our right to demand for a clean and fair election which the Barisan government would like very much to deprive us of.

10th November - Reminiscent of the old days

Excellent speech, my good friend. Anyway, I have decided to attend the rally long ago as I have been one of the victims of this cruel government for they have deprived me of a job and yet I have not been able to seek redress even after having written to numerous government officials. RPK, I look forward to making your acquaintance at the rally for I am certainly a big fan of your website, which only seeks to speak the truth and nothing but the truth. You have got the UMNO thugs running scared; hence their determination to close down Malaysia-Today at all costs. These people know that you have a big following and that their many crimes are being exposed by you and your diligent workers. Do keep up with the struggle my good friend, and allow me to direct your readers to my blog where I have posted all my comments on Malaysia-Today, more than 50 in all. My blog address is as follows:

Hope to meet as many Malaysia-Today readers at the rally including the boss himself i.e. RPK.Thanks

Police report against PM lodged

Why is Johari sticking his neck out for Mahathir? Does he have an axe to grind? In my opinion, I think that Johari is wasting his time and jeopardizing his position in UMNO, for it is my belief that both Mahathir and Badawi have both already buried the hatchet and have decided to share the spoils together with their family members including their many cronies. The UMNO general assembly is held every year to serve as a reminder to all Malaysians of other races not to question the rights of the malays and to extend the period of the new economic policy, for although if my memory serves me correct, it has already gone on for more than 30 years now. I wish to take to task the comments made by Chua Soi Lek of the MCA for defending Hishamudin's vile act of waving the keris year in and year out. This MCA official is most certainly a traitor to all Malaysians of Chinese descent and a disgrace to his race. One of the UMNO delegates going by the name of Ismail Ahmad even had the audacity of trying to chase Malaysians out of the country especially those who are aligned to the opposition parties. What right has he got to make such a statement, for we have just as much right as he has to be living in this country. All in all, I strongly believe that the annual UMNO general assembly is a recipe for disaster, but fortunately, most Malaysians of other races are peace loving by nature and would rather suffer in silence in spite of the apartheid policies practiced by the ruling clique. Let us all right thinking citizens of Malaysia come out in full force, come the 10th of November to participate in the march to the Agong's palace to demand for a clean and fair election, and remember folks, to cast your precious votes for the opposition during the forthcoming general elections, for a change of government is what we desperately need.

Umno Assembly opens as public disquiet mounts

UMNO has inherited the magic lamp from Aladdin. That's why they are guarding it so jealously for fear of losing their grip on power, and their so called rights and privileges at the expense of all the other citizens of Malaysia. To put it bluntly, apartheid is very much alive and well in Malaysia, whether you like to admit it or not. As usual that racist UMNO minister, Hishamudin has been waving his magic keris again and at the same time spewing his venom by threatening Malaysians of other races. I would compare the UMNO general assembly to a circus of horrors, as UMNO delegates always try to trample on the rights of non-bumiputra Malaysians. This is certainly a sad state of affairs and if all Malaysians are to be given equal treatment, then let us all rise up to effect change come Saturday the 10th of November at the appointed time and place and proudly march to the king's palace. My dear friends please come out in full force for we must send a clear message to the Barisan government that enough is enough and that we will certainly stand up to their despotic rule.

Finally, Ong Ka Ting, Samy Velu and Koh Tsu Koon, did you all not see Hishamudin brandishing his keris again, or are you 3 self-centred leaders just as blind as myself? The 3 major component parties of the Barisan Nasunal namely, the MCA, MIC and Gerakan have betrayed the trust of the people of which they are supposed to represent. Let us demonstrate to these self-serving politicians our displeasure by voting them out of office during the forth-coming general elections. To find out how I have been discriminated against by this very dictatorial government, please visit my blog at http://alfredhosinger.blogspot.com

You can all be rest assured that I will be at this historical gathering on Saturday the 10th of November, 3 p.m at the dataran merdeka. Please do your part by attending this very important occasion so that we can have a clean and fair election with the kind intervention of the agong.
