By 8pm, it started to drizzled, I was hesitating whether to go or not.
After a while of flipping my mind, I decided to go at the end to the DAP talk held at Han Jiang school field.
After witnessing it with my own eye, I would say that I will be regreting it if I really missed it yesterday. It was indeed a remarkable sight to behold.
If BERSIH rally last year was a sea of 40,000 yellow marchers for a fair election, today at Han Jiang, you would see a stunning gathering of at least 50,000 Malaysian/Penangites, majority responded to the heed to wear red, which made it sea of red. The gathering is a sign that Malaysian had have enough, Penangites had have enough, all of them want to see change in the coming election, lets hope that it does change.
smses & calls barely got through, it was really grand.
And who said that opposition political ceramah (talk) is boring?
Famous blogger - Jeff Ooi (Jelutong Parliment candidate) make a shocking appearance with electric guitar performance. Instead of some would consider boring political speaches, Jeff Ooi sang songs in Mandarin, Malay, English & Hokkien to do all the talking. It is refreshing to see creativity being presented in the politic arena. I am amazed while entertained throughout the talk. awesome presentation.
Lets talk no more. Let the videos to the talking.
Then again, who said that opposition political talk is boring?
There's fireworks too.
Other speakers on that day - Lim Kit Siang, Karpal Singh, Lim Guan Eng (Bagan Parliment candidate, Ayer Putih state candidate), Dato Zahrain Mohamed Hashim (Bayan Baru Parliment candidate), guest PKR candidates, and many many other candidates gathered to show their unity.
I want to take more photos and videos, but my camera's battery run flat after a while... sadly couldnt capture more to be posted in this blog.
Lets rise to the call in the video below.
Because if you have had enough of the hanky panky business with the current coalition/government, it is time to change, time to vote for opposition, give them a chance to present themselve, a chance to balance the parliment composition, that is the way it should be. The fate of either opposition or coalition parties lies at your hand tomorrow at polling station.
As expected, none of the newspapers today make the yesterday DAP talk at Han Jiang a headline, as if nothing happen, while the Penang's Rifle Range Coalition gathering of 3000-5000 made headline YESTERDAY and even have full page coverage TODAY. You tell me, is this not double standard?
What you can see on the newspaper is Pak Lah resort to instill fear in the Chinese community (which is their last desperado move), warned that if opposition win big in Chinese community seats, Chinese will lost MCA for good in the coalition and will not have Chinese MCA representative/ministers anymore. Chinese plight will not be heard anymore. Isnt this an arrogant threat by someone in power to gain more power? It is time to deny it because those in power are extremely corrupted. As a Malaysian (not Chinese, not Malay, not Indian etc), do not fear and cast your vote wisely, and dont cast your vote because of fear. You are not alone if you dont fear.
Again, for the Coalition gathering at Rifle Range, you dont see even a policeman giving parking tickets for illegal parking, but you see them do so without mercy at Han Jiang yesterday, is this not double standard?
When Coalition gather, they can easily use the public venue (school hall, stadium, municipal council hall) for free, while opposition talk/gathering has to resort to private institution venue because they know for sure they will be played/rejected if they apply for the public venue.
People who gathered at Han Jiang yesterday are passionate enough to go out to show their support, many even donated as much as they can, ignoring the coalition "sweets" of free food, free popular artists performance, lucky draw etc when they have such talk in a bigger venue than Han Jiang. These are only some of the differences.
