Anyway, you can use all the powers you have to arrest me and my friends. We walk because it is our fundamental right to freedom of assembly as enshrined in Article 10 of the Federal Constitution.
Yes, men and women of Free Malaysia will walk. We will not obey laws that are arbitrarily manufactured for the powers that be to hide behind, kind of like hiding under mother's skirt, or sarong. For the first time I agree with that thambi who said on international tv, this is not Pakistan, this is not Mnymar. THIS IS MALAYSIA WHERE THE MALAYSIAN SUN SHINES FOR EVERY CITIZEN.
TO THOSE WHO WALK TOMORROW THIS SONG IS DEDICATED
TO YOU.
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road
Sharing our load
Side by side.
Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall?
Just as long as we're together,
It doesn't matter at all.
When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started
Just a-traveling along
Singing a song
Side by side.
We're all hunting for something
Something we don't know what
'Cause none of us are satisfied with things we know we've got.
We all forget about moonlight,
As soon as we've given our vow
But we'd all be so happy if we'd start and sing right now:
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money,
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along
Singing a song
Side by side.
Don't know what's comin' tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road
Sharing our load
Side by side.
THIS MORNING I WILL WALK FOR ONE SPECIAL REASON.
I WILL WALK FOR THE COUNTLESS STATELESS CHILDREN AROUND THE JALAN RAJA LAUT, TIONG NAM AND CHOW KIT AREA AND THROUGHOUT MALAYSIA.
THESE ARE THE CHILDREN BORN OUT OF THE BONDAGE OF PROSTITUTION.
THEIR MOTHERS BELIEVED IN THE HUMAN RIGHT TO LIFE.
THEIR MOTHERS KNOW THAT ABORTION IS MURDER.
THEIR MOTHERS GAVE THEM THIS RIGHT TO LIFE.
BUT THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT HAVE DEPRIVED THESE STATELESS CHILDREN THE BASIC RIGHT TO HAVE A BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
THESE CHILDREN DEPRIVED OF A BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS DEPRIVED OF THE BASIC RIGHT TO GO TO SCHOOL.
THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT ALLOWED THEM TO BE THROWN OUT INTO THE STREETS.
FOR THESE DISADVANTAGED LOT THAT THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT HAS STIGMATISED,
I WILL WALK AND POSSIBLY BE ARRESTED.
BUT IT IS A SMALL THING THAT I CAN DO TO ALLEVIATE THE DARKNESS AND PRAYERFULLY HOPE THEY TOO CAN ENJOY THE MALAYSIAN SUN.
TO THESE CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT WE DEDICATE THIS SONG:
UNA PALOMA BLANCA
When the sun shines on the mountain
And the night is on the run
It's a new day It's a new way
And I fly up to the sun
I can feel the morning sunlight
I can smell the new-mown hay
I can hear God's voice is calling
For my golden sky light way
Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away
Once I had my share of losing
for they locked me on a chain
Yes they tried to break my power
oh I still can feel the pain
Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away
Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away
.
zorro,
ReplyDeleteI wonder if those tv3 flers doing that 'Jom Heboh' thing applied for permit?
i'm with you tommorow in spirit, my friend!
looks like someone is trying to organise an illegal rally via his blog. irresponsible people trying to turn our stability into anarchy.
ReplyDeletei hope the police is noted on this. i hope action is taken to save our country from hijackers and people with agenda.
you want opposition to win, then vote them la. why riot?
zorro!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW if you are enabling this blog message u r fine.
U r fine right?
help out aunty here..just let us know u ok bro?
i am 5 hrs behind kl and just read on star online some "activists" were arrested.
I know I know I KNOW ..some bloody suckers call us stupid f**kers for sticking our noses in when we can leave well alone & be "comfortable".
comfortable my big mama arse!
I get cold comfort knowing I have a roof but no home
I get cold comfort knowing I hv rights because I hv the means but knowing others with no means also hv no rights
I get absolutely NO comfort knowing I am Malaysian with NO rights!
THANK YOU Bro for walking for Us ALL
hi uncle zorro,
ReplyDeleteas of this time, we've got postings from stephen, jeff and nuraina. i enjoyed your company. It's worth having this as a once in a while occasion. it's cool to hear another ranting by you of how police marred this celebration.
melvin.
BIG EARS is just like BIG FOOT. My foot, it doesnt exist. its just a spin.
ReplyDeleteTime for a holiday in perth and sail with the honcho of Ferari, no this year?
Dear Zorro, come 12th GE, we should all help opposition parties to campaign to ensure the ruling coalition loses its 2/3 majority and kick them out by 13th GE.
ReplyDeleteWhy Khairy, the son-in-law, didn't get a police permit and Khairy and his UMNO holigans could march and gate crashed KLCC to hand a protest note to Condoliza Rice, US Secretary of State.
ReplyDeleteThis is a shit country. We must get rid adn Bodowi, Khairy, Kalimulah and Kamaludin. When we got rid of them then there will be peace and properity for Malaysia.
The Star has crossed the line again. But this time beyond the fundamental basic belief ethic of journalism. Todays piece by WCW has him advocating use of the ISA. Idiot, don't you know that the ISA as an instrument not only cuts all down in it's path but like all arrest without cause methods is used primarily against journalists. Your own comrades in arms in other words.
ReplyDeleteWCW is not a journalist and I hope others recognise that. The Star is not a News paper. And I hope that whatever journalistic accolades this paper might be in line for is now evaluated on the fact that its DGCE is advocating arrest without cause.
Zorro,
ReplyDeleteI heard the police took you in? If you dont respond to this comment then I know thay are still keeping you up in the lock up. I hope they are not brutal to a man of your age.
My deepest sympathy to u.
