Technically under categories of political theory, Malaysia doesn't even qualify as a Democracy, so it's not a surprise.

It was all over my place today. Noisy, full of tear gassed.
The gas even reached out to the balcony of my 42nd floor! -.-'
Bad experience of course. I wasn't aware of this either until my frnds told me about this the last time it happened.

But what I got to know is many, in fact numerous highly educated persons are taking part in it. Though I actually don't know what it actually is about.
Anyone care to explain?

[JY]

did you even watch the video?

You do NOT reform a monopoly on force. What are these reforms they're talking about anyway? They didn't go into any detail in the AJ report.

BERSIH 3.0: Duduk Bantah! 28 April 2012, 2.00 pm at Dataran Merdeka, nationwide and global.

Mission
To advocate for clean, free and fair electoral system.

Description
The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (better known by its Bahasa Malaysia name “BERSIH”) is a coalition backed by 84 Malaysian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) with the objective of campaigning for clean and fair elections in Malaysia.

BERSIH’s eight demands, which have remained relevant since the first public demonstration in 2007, are:

1. Clean the electoral roll
2. Reform postal ballot
3. Use of indelible ink
4. Minimum 21 days campaign period
5. Free and fair access to media
6. Strengthen public institutions
7. Stop corruption
8. Stop dirty politics

[Jizzus]

Lots of redundancy here. Point 8 encompasses all the other points. Stopping dirty politics is wishful thinking. You can't enforce something on a monopoly on force by definition.

[ngazirrrrrrrrrrrrr]

Read The Deer and the Cauldron.

Of course the police action was indeed much more ugly than it should have been. It's a good idea to leave a protest as soon as the other protesters or police get aggressive because once crowd mentality and us vs them kicks in, anyone can get caught up in the violence.

[daixn]

Lets see what response they will get...

[ngazirrrrrrrrrrrrr]

Damn don't tell me you guys can't post now.

[CtChocula]

Sounds pretty terrible.

[JY]

that is what we called policeman in our country

[pikachulinda]

guess what? the police started to attack the protesters right after the crowd were asked to dismiss by the organiser In our country police force is just our government's puppet they never really work so hard when protecting civilian or doing their daily duty other than ask for bribes then they are so motivated.

OT:

I caught a mouse using sticky fly-papers in the house and I decided to play with it by using tear gas on it. My mistake was using the tear gas in a small space and I ended ups coughing for minutes. Serves me right. the mouse didn't flinch at all
