Bersih 3.0 - Gain and Loss

The city Centre was in havoc since Friday Night till Saturday evening. Even for a free hockey or football match, I wouldn't have seen much people but for this event, it was attended by thousand of public from different races regardless of religion, cash, occupation or wealth.

It was not a suppose to be Raleigh, but just a protest by assembling at Dataran Merdeka or they call "Duduk dan Bantah". It was also combined with Lynas - Go Green Protest.

The protest went on, Police team manage to stop public for coming to Dataran Merdeka as it was not permitted. There were public whom got hit by police, but on published newspapers, it was only favored the police and not the public.

I was there at 12am on Friday night. The police surrounded the Dataran Merdaka and Jalan Tun Perak was covered by public.

The government didn't give permission to have it at this place as they gave lame excuse of distract tourism, loss of business and traffic jam.

When we celebrate Thaipusam, the chariot also comes from city centre, but no businessman or taxi driver complained abt it.

When the public gathered outside the high court on 9 Jan'12, they did not fight or go against the police.

There were more than 20 countries where this Raleigh went on but those countries local legislation allowed it.

But Why in malaysia, it's such a situation.
