Has anyone ever thought in retrospect about Bersih 3.0 and the police brutality against it's own citizens?
Put it this way, why was there an important reason to barricade Dataran Merdeka which in itself is nothing but a piece of grass? The police allows the crowd to be anywhere in the city, but not that particular piece of empty grass. These are questions I am asking as it appears to be foolish not to allow peaceful protestors to pass the line of barricades put up by the police.
Another thought crossed my mind. Will it be the same for Singaporeans whereby the SPF will barricade say The Padang if a peaceful protest were to take place there? Why is it very important if 1 small crowd of 10 people decide to light a candle there to highlight an issue they have with the PAP government? Why are we treated like little children that such things are dangerous and an attempt to topple the legal government? Are we daft that we allow ourselves to be so cowed that we remain helpless to voice our dissatisfaction?
And another thought came to my mind too. If what we hear and read about the going-ons in Malaysia, the Bank Bumiputera scandal, the Scorpene saga and the attempts to put Anwar in jail, it smacks of enormous sums of money and the power hungry politicians at work. Is that not also the case for Singapore when opposition members are thrown into jail for 30 years and more, or when opposition members have to flee the country? I am aghast at how evil some people can be and how they can get away with crimes against humanity.
