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

Dia orang ni kan dibayar untuk berdemo.
Kalau tak dibayar, siapa nak pergi.
Inilah yang menyedihkan. Setiap kali nak tunjuk sesuatu, ada demo, seolah-olah tak ada cara lain.
Lebih menyedihkan lagi, demo-demo ini akan bertukar menjagi ganas. Yang diperlukan hanya seorang untuk memulakan sahja.
Ntahle korang.
Demonstration is a bad culture.
Do we want demonstrations daily like in Thailand and Indonesia?
Is that what really democracy is? Some people say that in US they have demonstrations and peaceful ones too.
But then again, people forgot that in US, they are contained in a place designated for them to demonstrate only.
In Malaysia, we form a human chain link and march ahead and challenge the police and law enforcers.
Is that all right with Malaysians?
We should not let politicians play with our feelings but be rational ourselves.
I disagree with the comments. Personally, I wont go berdemo also. But we must remember, this is demo-cracy. They have the right to voice their opinion, as long as they protest peacefully.
Please tell me, when is the protesters violent? Most of the time the protesters are the victim and the agressors are the police.
Actually, demos probably started taking off with the BERSIH rallies (which Najib denounced as 'not Malaysian culture'), followed by UMNO's rally in Penang to protest Lim Guan Eng's open tender system which would jeapordize NEP-otism (which Najib kept silent about).
