We first gathered at Chinatown, had breakfast here.
Crowd start their protests here.
 |
| Banners were everywhere. The scenes are very spectacular. O_O |
12p.m. Protest undergoing.
Followed the crowd all the way to the Dataran Square.
Slogans and songs were in the air.
Way to the Dataran Merdeka was blocked.
 |
| Met my discipline teacher on the way to Dataran Square :) |
 |
| Protesters from Tsun Jin High School!! xD Their banner's the most special ones, with those throll faces.. They were cool man. x) |
 |
"Dataran siapa? Dataran Rakyat! Anak siapa? Anak Rakyat! Kami rakyat! Mahu bantah! Abang polis! Buka pintu! Hidup rakyat! Hidup bersih! Polis polis! Buka Pagar!" It was shouted by an Indian. Also sang "Negaraku" and "Rasa Sayang" here. |
Squeezed through the crowd there and to Masjid Jamek x)
Crowds, banners, balloons, flags, medias and cameras were everywhere.
We followed the crowd and gathered under the LRT's railway,
sat down, and continued our slogans and songs.
 |
| Just looking at the crowd makes me feel sweaty and sticky now. |
 |
| "We have the lousiest government money can buy" This is cool!! :D |
 |
| The crowd. Still protesting. |
3.10p.m. at Masjid Jamek.
Police start shooting tear bombs.
Start to retreat and we booed at them furiously,
and of course,
I can hear a lot of "!@#$%^" phrases at that moment xD
Tear bombs are first release at the front line.
I was actually left quite far away from the tear gases later,
and suddenly see citizens running mad.
Because tear gases are APPROACHING from the left intersection.!! O_O
They made the polices almost attacked from EVERY direction O_O
So I suffered from the gases. /_\
It was like applying chilies on your face,
felt skin burning + crying + runny nose.
 |
| Tear gases are released at the front line. Can hear the shooting sounds. Terrifying. O_O |
 |
| Citizens start to retreat . Tear gases still shooting at the front line. |
 |
| Tear gases from another intersection. Citizens run like the end of world. And this is when I start to run too. O_O |
I actually planned to stay at home and study,
But my parents decided to let me go
They want me to experience once in my lifetime.
So I took part in it at last
Haha, and this have to thanks to my daddy
For taking me there and have been my body guard. :)
This is the first time for joining this kind of event in my life.
I've met a lot of people today, not only the Chinese
but also people which are Different races. states. or countries.
I feel that I am the lucky one,
as I can meet a lot of people and learn. :)
Yea, and the moment we sang, I felt touched.
This proves that "Racism does NOT exist between us."
The one who leaded us shouting slogans,
mostly the Malays and Indians.
We worked together to fight for our rights.
Because we are all MALAYSIANs. Hehe :D
But I am actually disappointed too.
Because this event had ended with tear gases,water cannons.
And a lot of unhappy accidents... :(
I am lucky again that I am safe and there ain't anything happen
where I've been. But the other areas, I felt sorry for them... :(
For me, I think shouting slogans and singing songs are okay.
And it's good to see a side of the citizens were cooperated.
But I can't understand
Why are there fighting and even car accidents?
There must be something wrong.
I am not sure of tear gases is released
because of citizens start to attack first,
Or it's they've been harsh to evacuate by that way.
All I only know is tear gases makes air polluted. :(
I think both,
the government and the citizens should really.
Think properly. wisely. and deeply.
There are mistakes and responsibilities in the both.
And they have to be clear of the purpose of protesting.
I don't think that both the government
and citizens really understand it's propose.
So to the conclusions.
I really hope that...
the government can wake up.
Please use your brain to think what you have did.
We are not protest for fun you know.
We don't need to protest unless it's the last resort
for an unfair decision you made and when it's affecting us.
Plus I don't think the police are disagreed to what we want.
Because polices are ALSO citizens.
And NOT ALL the police are bad and violent actually. :/
I grew a lot from this event.
And it made me "open-eyed" to this society.
It really feels great,
to fight for your country's future & for the future generations.
But it does make me feel sad and shame,
that this event causes troubles at last.
If there is Bersih 4.0,
I hope it's not like this again.
And I will probably join it again
Because ...
I really love Malaysia
And I want Malaysia have a bright future!
:D
"WE CITIZENS,
NOT ONLY WANT A CLEAN AND FAIR ELECTION.
NOT ONLY WANT A CLEAN AND SAFE COUNTRY TO LIVE.
ALL WE WANT IS A GUARANTEED FUTURE FOR OUR COUNTRY!"
The end. :)
