Tomorrow at Padang Merbok, there will be a Black 505 rally to protest the frauds and the cheating in the recent General Election. It is also to demand for free and fair election and to demand that the Malaysia Election Commission Chairman and Deputy Chairman resign for wasting RM6 million on useless "indelible" ink that was supposed to last at least 7 days but found to be easily washed off within the same day of application.
There were many other failures on their part that has caused the public to lose confience in the EC (their existence is dependent on them being able to have the confidence of the public). Further, Ambiga of BERSIH (a civil society to press for free and fair election) said that this failure of the EC alone is sufficient to ask the EC Chairman and Deputy Chairman to resign. In fact, she said, any EC worth their salt would have resign in shame without being asked.
Grandpa read news that a few Penang Members of Parliament and State Assembly representatives are not only willing to risk their elected positions and privileges, but will also sponsor a bus each to bus their supporters from Penang to KL for the rally.
Your grandpa missed the BERSIH 2 rally held on 9 July 2011 to demand for free and fair election because grandpa didn't want to risk arrest and thus miss the trip to California for the Global Top Contributor Summit fully sponsored by Google which was slated for September that year.
Well, grandpa is blessed to have been invited again for the second Top Contributor Summit this year September to October.
However, if MPs and ADUNs are prepared for arrest and loss of elected positions and privileges, how can grandpa not participate too. If grandpa get arrested and missed the sponsored US trip, what is that compared with the sacrifices of elected representates?
Thus grandpa is committed to participate in the rally tomorrow. However, I don't think they will arrest grandpa. If any, they will probably only arrest the leaders and perhaps trouble makers. Grandpa certainly don't intend to cause any trouble.
So here it is. Here is grandfather story no. 2.
Update: DAP (Democratic Action Party Malaysia has issued a letter to its members stating that the party fully support the Black 505 Rally tomorrow and encouraging its members to turn up in full force:
Saudara/Saudari,
Untuk makluman, DAP menyokong sepenuhnya Perhimpunan 505 pada hujung minggu ini sebagai hak rakyat membantah proses PRU13 yang tidak bersih dan tidak telus. Hak berhimpun merupakan hak asasi dan pihak polis sepatutnya membantu dan bukannya menghalang ekspresi kebebasan rakyat ini.
