Frankly speaking, I’m not into politics. But, it doesn’t mean I’m utterly ignorant and oblivious to current political issues. Despite my penchant for reading chick lit and romantic novels(not the ones filled with erotic scenes ok..I'm not a randy pervert), I do, as a matter of fact, read about the boring issues of politics. Nah, it’s not really boring actually as the world of politics is inundated with flagrant drama, ludicrous rows, corruptions (of course, it’s the main course of politics) and the like.
Based on my observation, most people who are seriously into politics are abrasive, rough, cantankerous and belligerent— many of them use expletives, foul words to project their anger and hatred towards a particular party. I’m not only describing the characteristics of my people as it's the same goes for the rest. I quiver every time when I read the corrosive and brutally harsh criticisms about a particular party as if that particular person wants to rip off the other person’s heart and grind it into dust.
Well like just now I had a small but quite intense dispute with my brother-in-law regarding politics. I know he is an avid supporter of a particular party and I admire his steely determination and enthusiasm but once he has been provoked, make no mistake, he would transform into an incredible hulk.
Well, people are entitled to their own opinion and it’s not wrong to voice your dissatisfaction and opinions but it has to be done in sensible and professional ways rather than yelling boisterously, conducting a violent rally and etcetera.
Honestly, I don’t agree with yesterday’s rally, Bersih 2.0. Okay, before you condemn me vehemently, I’m entitled to my opinion because I hate squabbles and fights. I may be rebellious by nature but I do hate arguments. Why don’t we discuss it with harmony instead of conducting an intense rally?
If the government still ignores people’s voice for fair and impartial elections then I guess it’s okay to hold a demonstration but must not be clashed with harmony and peacefulness.
But honestly, I still disagree with the rally. Just look what happened. It affected others and caused bad traffic congestion, had disrupted peacefulness and the like. Many people had to suffer from such consequences. If it gives troubles and difficulties to people, wouldn’t it be haram?
Well, this is my honest opinion. Please don’t attack me for penning my thoughts down. I don’t blame and condemn Bersih supporters. I just don’t agree with the rally. In addition, many people end up squabbling and wrangling with each other because of it. That’s why I don’t support it and reject it wholeheartedly. Please, no more fight. I think compare to the other states, Malaysia is a peaceful and tranquil country. Please don’t take that away and we should always be thankful.
And dear government, please listen to their voices and mark your words, "rakyat didahulukan" (people first).
That’s all for today. Assamualaikum.

>>its a peaceful rally!!! like maulidurrasul, thaipusam and so other. no need police there, aint it?
I think the police wanted to control the situation and prevent the rally from getting more violent.
But,I really disagree with their action,firing tear gas at people.
By the way,thank you for voicing your opinion :).
