Ramblings

I was reading almost hundreds of those posted on Bersih's Twitter the other day. (yes, I have 28hours a day to spent my time doing that) Like dad always said, always read both sides of the story. That's why he spends his 24 hours (unlike me, dad only have 24 hours, heh) reading all the newspapers online around the world. From Israel Post, Washington Post, Utusan to Harakah Daily.

Back to that Bersih thing. Many tweeted how they were greatly united on that that; Oh "this malay lady gave me shelter in the surau", "this chinese makcik gave me salt", "we hold hand in hand in the rain"..

I'm a daily public transport user. I'm sure almost 30% that take the train with me everyday support Bersih. so they talk about how they unite, love other races and 1 Malaysia is bullshit.

However, yesterday was an old chinese pakcik. Very old, white hair, every unstable, walk very slow and he was standing all the way from Bandar Tasik Selatan to Masjid Jamek. (It is a 25 minute journey) because none of them (chinese, malay, indian, others) offered him a seat. He barely stand with one hand holding the pole, he had to use both hands!

And today was a Malay pregnant lady. She was standing in the middle of the train near the door. The train was less packed today, so she was visible to those standing and seating. But sadly, those seated left her standing all the way. Mangkok betol!

So, their Bersih's united only lasted for what, on 9th July 2011 between 1 to 6 pm eh?

What a joke..
