Jom Demo

Cops foil march to Istana

For once, the IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan talks sense.

But Tan Sri, was there a need for teargas? Did they get rowdy? Did they go on rampage, destroying public and private properties? I don't know because I was not there and will never be there.

This demo thing is very disturbing.

I posted about this demo thing earlier. See here.

Popularized by Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim, it is fast becoming “the way” of showing support for something or displaying rejection over something.

I do not know what you people out there think about this demo thing, which is slowly but surely creeping into our culture, but I for one, would never condone this demo thing, be it in support of the government or against it, be it in support of the opposition or against it. .

Demo is certainly not the way out. It is certainly not a show of support nor a show of power.

It is very worrying to see people joyfully taking parts in demo after demo, as though demos are some forms of funfairs, where people of common interest gather and have fun.

It is even more worrying to see young people taking parts in this cheap show, as if this is part of growing-up education or parenting older people are trying to instill in them.

Many of these people are “mat rempits” who know nothing why they are demonstrating about. Certainly people like them just want to have fun. They would joyfully but blindly jump in whenever there is a call for ”Jom Demo”.

I do not know if these people know what it means by demonstrating.

Demonstrating means baring your a**e to the public
