A true story as seen as happen
Received a call from YB Mike’s SUP around 2.30pm on Monday, 23 Mar 09. He asked if I’m free to join them to Bukit Selambau as Dato Seri Anwar PKR Supremo expected YB Mike’s presence there.
As I’m keenly observing political scenario in Malaysia since last general election, I decided to join them. Around 4.00 pm both of us jump into YB Mike’s car which currently on loan to him as his official car sent to Perdana specialist.
While, on the car I did caught up some political games took place surrounding Bukit Selambau by election as Makkal Sakthi group claims the candidate doesn’t have good credential. Yes, I heard about that previously but I believe party leadership won’t make such silly mistakes.
Half way near Ipoh, we were informed that Harakah and Suara Keadilan was banned by Home Ministry. The timing of ban so perfect as UMNO General Assembly to convene in couple of days followed by three by elections. So, that the first step showing ruling party rather worried losing their power then disclosing truth.
We stop in Butterworth for a while to catch up with some Makkal Sakthi leaders listening to their grievances before proceeding to Bukit Selambau. We were told the Ceramah be held in a padang near Cinta Sayang Resort. Spotted road blocks just metres before reaching the location. The first thing I saw was Pondok Police but it’s empty . Second is FRU trucks and FRU personnel taking locations. Ah, ah… trouble!
Saw MP’s, Adun mingling around talking to supporters while others eagerly awaiting Dato Seri Anwar. Few minutes later, he arrives straight to the podium together with Pakatan leader and Bukit Selambau PKR Candidate S. ManiKumar. Deep in heart I feel the location I’m standing not safe, the tent next to Podium. So, I walked behind and stand in a shop lot verandah just behind the Podium.
Anwar, says “Saya di sini dengan Kawalan Polis Ketat .. dan kita nak perkenalan Calon …..Polis tak bagi Amaran pun. “ Yes, Police laced Chemical Water Straight to the podium where Anwar and other elected representative standing. No Warning , nothing at all..
I ran left of the building, while Anwar and others taken to PKR Operation Room . Luckily just about 30 cm, from where I’, m standing the Chemical water landed. But the Strong stink chemical irks and I had breathing difficulty. Even, myself whom have no previous health record can feel such difficult what about those with asthmatic and children.
Luckily I escape, so walked towards car, YB Mike was standing together with supporters. As I saw police build up moving towards the podium, we advise YB Mike to left the place. Poop, drops 2 can of tear gas just about a metre from us. There runs every one crossing busy road, I had to take out my glassed on one hand and grip on nose with other hand run across the tear gas. I couldn’t see anything for few minutes as we cross the road.
After about 10minutes YB Mike’s SUP who manage to escape Tear Gas but not Chemical water picks us from the spot and we moved out of Sungai Petani.
BN made a Big Blunder … No WAY BN CAN WIN THIS SIT
