HOW DO WE STOP THE BULLY TACTICS OF
THE BOTAK BOYS?
Greetings Bernard
These fellas have really gotten us riled with this tactic of frustrating the rakyat by setting up their infernal roadblocks. I suggest we turn this around the next time by urging each other to not go out to work on the day put up such unwarranted roadblocks. Civil servants, private sector workers, bussinessmen and even students...just stay at home. You are not going anywhere on time anyway. On top of that you end up spending more in wasted petrol and wear and tear on your than you are going to be paid for that day anyway. Non jangled nerves and skyrocketin blood pressure. So relax at home and cause a strike or hartal of sorts. Shut the city down by avoiding traffic jams caused by this most insensitive governmant.

Z,
Just wondering about a suggestion going round the blogs.
The next time the BN government put up roadblocks and you're stuck in the ensuing jam, get out from the vehicle, lock it and have a 30 minute teh tarik break or whatever one fancies.
For even more dramatic effect, pull up the hood to indicate 'engine failure' as a sign for others to follow suit.
Not quite certain whether it will be feasible on highways but just imagine if it's done in or near the city center. If BN can pretend there's a security risk, so can we mah!
Perhaps, there are other options if we put on our thinking caps though I rather prefer a chilled one whilst pondering on other possibilities.
Don't get mad, just get even.
Dear Zorro,
FAHMI REZA SPECTACULAR (hit full screen toggle for better viewing....but be patient)
In the future, whenever the gomen says that they will be a rally, when none is planned, we all shall stage a mogok by staying at home.
