Why People March on the Streets

“It is not our culture to do street demonstration said one”
“Do not take it to the street as we have proper channels to voice out say another”
“It cost millions in losses for the business says another”
“This is the culture by Anwar says another”
Doesn’t it make people to realise why do 100,000 people hit the street to protest?
Is it that people have nothing to do and the wake up one morning and marched down the street for fun?
The UMNO controlled main media have been spinning stories purposely to divert and further divide the races in Malaysia with the Ministers adding fuel to it.
Let me provide you with few reasons as to why the “rakyat” took to the streets or why I would walk with the demonstrators:

1.Tens and hundreds of Malaysians died while in police detention cannot march or speak any more and now they are dying in MACC office.
2.Rakyat’s suggestions to implement; Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC), Royal Commission for Kugan, Teoh’s death, PKFZ Scandal and other financial scandal have fallen into deaf ears
3.Emergence of cronyism which made the elite few millionaires and the rest paupers. The people eventually woke up to realise the repeated lies and things were done in certain ways purportedly “for their benefit”.
4.Wealth is not distributed equally among the people and there is unbalance distribution of wealth among Malaysians and the have-nots, the oppressed, the discriminated and the persecuted have been marginalized and they had enough
5.The race card which is cleverly played for such a long time, is visible now for what it really is – a tool to divide the rakyat for easier political manipulation.
6.Malaysia, a country with abundant natural resources, does not have the same standard of living or higher than that of Singapore, an island with no natural resources and that has to import human resources from elsewhere.
7.Gandhi marched, Mandela marched, Martin Luther King marched, and Tunku Abdul Rahman marched for a cause. If the marchers in history had been stopped in their tracks, places like India, Malaysia and many others would still be colonies today, apartheid would still be thriving in South Africa, Nelson Mandela would still be scribbling on the walls of Cell 5, and Obama would probably be a slave somewhere in Mississippi plotting to make his next midnight dash for the river and not in White House.

Because more and more people realised that peaceful assemblies are not threat at all to the security of the nation. Although it is a threat to the current government whom does not want to lose their perks and benefits that they have been enjoying for a very long time. Change will definitely come soon or later and my personal wish is that to be sooner!
