The night before 112 I was so pumped up that
sleep was difficult after a seafood feast at Jalan Alor with Boom, Rodi,
Lillian, Bill, Nordin Manan, Sharom, Duke and Bruce. The latter two were
totally smashed when they joined us back at Classic Inn. They were warming up
to 112 at Bitch Beach Club and Thai Club, so they claimed. Howeve, all
claimed that I behaved myself…..keeping to only 2 beers!

At 1130 we set out for KL112. The heat and
humidity after a slight drizzle really drained me but seeing the wave upon wave
of participants filtering into Merdeka Stadium was inspiring! It was tsunamic! THIS IT IS!

I had numerous SMS asking if I was OK and where
was I seated. I was 10o’clock across the Grand Stand on the VI side and told
them to remain where they are as I am well taken care of by my minders, Boom,
Esther Lee, Claire, Duke,Rodi, Bruce and Wong. INI KALI LAH!

In appreciation for those who could not be at
112 and those off-shore Malaysians, who have no access to the Historic Peaceful
Uprising, here is a LINK to Malaysiakini live feed. To Malaysians
holding their own peace rally in Jordon, Sydney and Auckland, WE SALUTE YOU
PATRIOTS.

JUST
TWO COMMENTS FROM THE HEART
Guna Otak Sikit:
This is an historic day - a ‘Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah' day. The rakyat are
standing up to a government.
Remember the deaths of Ahmad Sarbaini, A Kugan,
Aminulrasyid Amzah, Teoh Beng Hock, Altantuya Shaariibuu, the corruption of the
Scorpene submarines, Bank Bumiputera, the cincins and the Birkins, the RM40
million Sabah case, the National Feedlot Corporation, Puspahanas, the illicit
outflow of funds, the cheapskate weddings using the rakyat's money, the
Election Commission (EC) behaving like an Umno division, the endless tolls, the
poor quality cars on the roads, the Automated ‘Enrichment Scandal' (AES), the
piratisation of the country's assets (ports, postal service, highways, water,
sewerage service, power), and the misuse of Petronas funds to bail out
individuals, etc.
Endless list of scandals. This is the day of the
rakyat's power.
3rdEye: I
participated in Bersih 2.0 and Bersih 3.0 but stayed at home yesterday although
I was very free. Why? I felt Pakatan has to get their act right. They must not
abuse the goodwill of the rakyat like the BN has all this while.
They must not think that we hate BN means that
we have to love Pakatan blindly. I love Nurul Izzah Anwar, Rafizi Ramli, Tony
Pua and Mohamad Sabu, but I dislike Azmin Ali and the Ngeh cousins.
Basically, I feel that for the KL112 rally, they
have not put in enough effort and expect great success. I don't want to help
breed such a culture.

Glad to know you had a great day. Did the lady pictured in your earlier post attended the rally? I was looking out for her but she was nowhere to be seen.
Aiseh Bro I just started a post with the same "Be afriad. Be very afraid!".....talk about greqt minds...now got to think of some other opening line.....regards.
Based on the picture above, I think it is about 70,000 to 80,000 attended.
What is there to be afraid of...LOL
Syabas PDRM
Pak HH, why should you? I am 1, with YOU we are 2!
This rally must be telling the scumbags and parasites in Umno that Malaysians oppositions are peaceful and responsible people. Thus capable of running a good government, owing to some last minute emergency I was unable to attend, but it looks like it would have made the crowd looked any smaller.
Can't Najib hear what the ten of thousands of Malaysians just from K.L. are calling him to do, or is he pretending to be deaf or is he not the P.M. of these people who attended and does he want more rallies throughout the country ?
Dear Bro Zorro,
In the absence of police brutality and pro-BN saboteurs's provocation, wasn't yesterday a good day for the hundreds of petty traders selling drinks and food? That must be their best takings for a long time! They must be beaming from ear to ear. Good on them!
Lagi satu rapat umum, PR?
what happened to IPF's counter rally on the same day? The so-called tikus of a party President boasted he will rally 12,000 for his rally?
nothing happened from his end! it was like farting in the wind.
some people look smart until they open their mouth. That's why light travels smarter than sound!
to Hussein Abd. Hamid,
yes...you can still use the same header.....only add Be afraid, be very afraid all you politicians of both divides....be very afraid of the RAKYAT ! If ever anyone in PR thinks they can take us for a ride, think again. We, the rakyat can take on the Almighty BN....we can also take on PR with just as much gusto. So PR don't even dream of trying to fuck around with us...the RAKYAT !And if they did, the wake up and apologise pronto. Let this be fair warning to all. We have had enough of politicians and their bullshit.
Aisehman that 'Be afraid be very afraid' is for Najib and company lah....NOT FOR US.....Kita okay punya orang!
People argue whether 50,000, 100,000, 200,000, 300,000, 400,000 or 500,000 attended the Big Bash.
Stadium when overfull takes 130,000 ppl. Add 70,000 at stadium car park. Add 50,000 on road leading to Chin Woo. 100,000 near Jln Sultan/Petaling Street/Pasar Seni. Add another 150,000 sana sini sebab mahu jatuhkan Gomen
There you have it, 500,000
QED
Roti Sunshine....you dah damn choon man!
It is not the big or small figures at play. To me KL112 is a success is because the people have come to tell the Govt... enough is enough!! Added to this I congratulate both the participants and the PDRM for maintaining their sense of goodwill in making the rally such a big success. It was the same feeling I had when I was there in 1957 shouting "merdeka...Merdeka...." along with our 1st & most respected PM Tungku Abd. Rahman.
Hi Zorro,
It was a huge carnival of excited, friendly and hopeful comrades of all races looking forward to a better future for our beloved MALAYSIA.
Awesome...simply awesome.
In Thailand, people of the same race in reds and yellows had violent and fatal clashes.
Yesterday Malaysian comrades from all races in red, yellow, green, orange and other colours came together in a peaceful,successful and historic assembly.
Awesome...simply awesome.
Uncle Zorro,
Yes, I want change. I love my country. I want us to be rid of corruption and abuses. BUT uncle, I dont trust the Ngeh and Nga in DAP, Ronnie Liu, Azmin Ali etc in PR.
... and yes, Nurul for PM.
Dear Bro Zorro,
Thanks a million. De La Sallians think alike. I presume you are one of us.
Bro Felix Donohue was my headmaster at St. Paul's, Seremban from 1970 to 1974. Love this spunky Irishman!
Sunshine - Bro Felix was my Form 5 Literature teacher in St.Xavier's Penang. He was my wife's HM when she taught in La Salle PJ. A true LaSallian educator.
Der Shanghai Stephe3n,
I totally agreed with you.They easily forgotten 2008 when they shouted for change,we delivered and what we expect did not materialised.Corruption,cronism and unfufilled promises now are rampant in PR governed states.The rakyat are not stupid and the situation now is much different from 2008.Aa for HKL 112,why brag about attendance,where were all the Apeks,Indians,majority were PAS supporters even that they walked out as soon as AI took the mike.PR when they open their mouth always brag about road to Putrajaya by capturing more seats but have they plan how to retain the seats that they won in 2008.People used to say defending is more diffucult than winning,so do not be too confident because the big chance will be not happening again.
What a good outing yesterday was and thought I might finally get to meet up with the Z.But was stranded in a sea of humanity on the terraces,left of the podium in the stadium.All good and even had a chance to practice my rusty BM with a coupla' young activists from Penang,seasoned vets from the BERSIH trilogy!
Those UMNO pimps who still doubted the numbers gathered at KL112, look at all the photos of the day activities. Pictures do not lie....UMNO bastards and its leaders do! To the Ketuanan UMNO Melayu, we do not give a shit how you want to think. All I can say, UMNO peeled dicks, you are fcuked!...come 13thGE
Who cares about the crowd size, whether it’s 45,000 or 250,000 but you can't deny it's the love for country and passion in supporters and participants that matters!
Those BN morons have came out with a 'doctored' pix of Stadium Merdeka with people on stadium's rooftops, to discredit Pakatan/organisers.
Pics don't lie - the amazing crowd was too good to be true, yes the sea of people from all walks of life, color and creed coming together says it all and the beauty of it was, they weren't BN's kind of 'rent-a-crowd'!
Thank you folks!
Bro Z, I want to tell the people that this GE13 is our last chance and hope for a revival of our beloved country called MALAYSIA. If we missed it, God Help Us All!
GE13 大选的脚步一步一步的接近我们，大家一直在喊要“换”可是大家准备好了吗？？
这届大选很多政治评论家都说会是最肮脏的一届大选，此时最需要的就是监票员，根据统计大选需要165000个监票员来监督整个投票过程。
刚刚算过，如果大选是在89天后，
平均每一天需要培训1853个监票员，
每小时77个
每分钟2个
这个数目非常惊人。
希望大家可以呼吁身边的朋友，加入监票的行列。
Jom Pantau PRU13!!!
对 Astro AEC ＂新闻报报看＂感到极度失望，可能新闻主播背后有不可告人的事情，但是这些是很难被接受的。
KL112大集会在两天内只字不提，自己觉得没有做错的感觉；就113台湾大集会，你们却报导了不少过5分钟？！你们到底是本地媒体还是国外媒体？？
你们在112集会事件连报纸都不如！！你们有争取新闻自由吗？你们对观众公平吗？
我想告诉Astro AEC，你们的不专业将导致你们不再被华社尊重，你们可以改名叫＂腥闻抱抱看＂了！！
我们去给高层压力，投诉没有新闻自由！
请大家寫email 去投訴mailto: wecare@astro.com.my
The root cause of why Umno continue to believe in their own bullshit is because they have unfairly gerrymandered the electoral boundaries and as a result, the actual sentiment of the majority of Malays are distorted and skewed by a minority of Malays.
If the government controlled media gives fair coverage to Pakatan Rakyat why should anyone take to the streets. Malayisa is no better than any dictatorship.
I would frankly ask Mahathir to state his honest views about UTUSAN, STAR, NST, BERITA HARIAN, TV3, RTM, BERNAMA and other BN contolled PUBLIC MEDIA. All these print and electronics media works for a regime that wants to bury the truth, distort information and lie in public to appease the government. So what choice do the public and opposition have?
Dr. Mahathir should also answer whether it is proper to CHEAT the VOTERS to cling on to power? Is there level playing field for the opposition?
Zorro can certainly pose with style!
so! calling all parties lost in sabah election during the 90's. SUE these bastards..... still waiting ah?
