BERSIH 3.0 in Spirit

I have been absent from this blog for awhile. Meanwhile I have started a new blog for my special baby girl who was born on 23rd March 2012. The new blog will jot down our journey together in this new episode of our lives with our new addition to the family. I will keep that separate from this blog.

Today is Bersih 3.0 and I am sad to note I am not there with my comrades getting wet and gassed. I have been pretty tied up recently with new baby and all. Anyways, reading from the updates, riot police are at it again like the last time, firing tear gas into the crowd unprovoked. Waiting to see more pictures and updates soon to see the size of the turnout! By any standards, it is already a big success for the cause!

Sadly, not everyone shares the same ideals and believe there is real cause to fight for. I guess some people just cannot be bothered anymore with all the nonsense politics going on in this country anyway. But I still believe there is hope, and I am not the only one. Far from it, judging from the people who have turned up today in KL. We have HOPE, like Datuk Ambiga said so in her speech. For us who still love Malaysia, dare to hope and demand for our rights to this beloved country of ours. It needs to start with fair and clean elections!

To my friends who are out there for this cause, my spirit is with you. Come back and tell me your stories of this historic day!
