KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 — Bersih has insisted that the government has no right to stop its rally at Stadium Merdeka tomorrow despite last-minute attempts to secure the venue coming to nought.
The electoral reforms movement also called for Malaysians to show their patriotism and stand up against what it called the lack of principle shown by the Najib administration.
“No government agency has any right whatsoever to prevent Malaysians from exercising their freedom of movement and access to our capital city.
“Malaysians have now seen the degree of paranoia and lack of principled leadership that seems to have gripped the government. It is imperative that patriotic Malaysians rise now and take this stand together to save Malaysia from slipping further into this insane darkness,” it said.

This clearly reminded me of Fight Club where the our favourite man warned the Police Chief not to screw with the people. I guess there is some resonance there of Bersih telling government and police not to fuck with them because both of them have blown their chances off with their paranoia and dementia rather than giving them the permit as to solve the problem.
People are very angry of too many roadblocks and police coming around for nothing. Early in the afternoon, one colleague of mine was stopped by the FRU squad even he doesn't have anything related to Bersih. I had to intervene and told the police that I am his boss before they could let him.
I wonder if the cop in the picture could have been our Deputy IGP or someone equivalent to it, that deserves to be sacked.
