LET'S END THE BULLYING SEASON.

I take the liberty to use this quote that my Wharf buddy HawkeyeJack used in his 14 July posting: "Of fear mongering and Indoctrination" here

“Those who use force soon end up without it and those that use fear will soon fear even their own shadow” – Lao Tzu

BIG-TIME QUESTION:
HOW DO WE STOP THE BULLY TACTICS OF
THE BOTAK BOYS?

Some ideas worth pondering and nurturing:

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.

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.

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.

Or my dear sinister buddy we could do what these german guys did during a massive jams, where no teh tarik stalls or public houses are within reach'

Or just do what these resourceful ladies do....relax, and dont move....save gas.

Dear Zorro,

Is it difficult for people like you, Haris, RPK and Malaysiakini to come up with firm and potent suggestions to all bloggers and people who get caught in these indiscriminate PRDM roadblocks what they should and shouldn't do in order to give these sleazeball politicians something that would knock some sense into their numbskulls. For example if motorists blocked at arterial roads into KL could put up their car bonnets to show their cars have stalled or overheated. If every motorist were to do that the traffic jam would be so monstrous that the lazy police chaps who put up the roadblocks would have to do their damn bit to untangle the gridlock that would have ensued. If these incidences are well orchestrated like the police roadblocks,then the Botak the Batak and his puppet masters would have to think umpteen times before coming up with roadblocks. You people might even come with some brain waves. Let us know. We are fed up with these idiots. I was caught in a massive jam along the Federal Highway for about 3 hours, going on my way to Ampang.
