But mom, I don't want to stay bersih.


I have been reading the recent news on the Bersih Movements and am deeply mournful for the injustice to this Country. Such upheaval! Such drama for a "noble" cause! I questioned the sincerity of this rally formerly. How could such physically and seemingly uncouth behavior hope to achieve anything?
Nevertheless, I am believer of fairness and justice. Who wouldn't be? Right? Wrong.

Our dear government spewed all forms of nonsense today ( 7th July 2011). Bersih is still a illegal government? Yellow shirted people will still be arrested? No stadium for a peaceful protest? Really?! I was convinced everything was over! I am sorely disappointed with the government. Any rational person should. What is wrong with voicing out an idea in a stadium?! I just can't get it.

To top off my disappointment, police are blockading the roads to deter a seemingly now peaceful demonstration. To my horror, traffic jams are expected for days, shops are willing to close and tourists want to avoid another thailand incident. I thought the government was going to help? Guess not... sigh...

I was reading Isaiah 36 today. About a king praying for deliverance in a time of siege and a losing war. I want to go to the rally now. But I will be praying hard for this country as well.
