In the run up to the now historical BERSIH 2.0 rally calling for
free and fair elections, the BN government did many things to scare
Malaysian into staying away from the rally. The government’s threat to
its own citizens reached the apex of incredulity during a joint exercise
between Federal Reserve Unit and Royal Malay Regiment on July 6th,
three days before the BERSIH rally were to take place. Malaysiakini
headlined its report “Army’s simulation exercise: Disperse, or we’ll
shoot” on July 6th here: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/169088
The authorities issued threats against those intending to participate in BERSIH 2.0 rally by showcasing the kind punishment meted out to those violating the ban on ‘illegal’ rallies. Among the banners held up during the exercise the most conspicuous one reads:’BERSURAILAH KAMU KALAU TIDAK KAMI TEMBAK’ (‘Disperse. If not, we’ll shoot’)
Translations of the stern message in Tamil and Chinese were repeated along with a transliteration in the ‘Jawi’ script is repeated in the banner as shown in the picture below:
The notion of security forces of a democratic government threatening to shoot the general public for participating in a peaceful rally is beyond comprehension, unless of course if it’s a threat from an occupational army as the image below shows. (Click on the image below)
Picture source: End of Empire by Brian Lapping, ISBN 0-246-11969-1, Refer to page 333
Take a long good look at the image above; the subtitle in the top right corner reads: ‘Disperse or we shoot’, in English, Greek and Turkish on a British army lorry. It shows the British occupational army in Cyprus warning the public who are rallying for their freedom. The majority of Cypriots are of Greek and Turkish descent, hence the warning on the banner is repeated on both Greek and Turkish. Only an army of occupation will rule a country through fear and intimidation like the British did in many countries it colonized. The situation is repeated in Malaysia now!!!! Is Malaysia is still being governed ruthlessly like a colony of BN? You know the answer…
Every fight for freedom will eventually prevail. The British Empire ended when people rose up for their freedom. And if the BN-UMNO regime refuses to heed the call to reinstate their basic rights and freedom of its people… their citadel will crumble to dust sooner than they can ever imagine.
KEEP UP THE FIGHT MALAYSIANS…. PROUD TO HAVE WALKED WITH YOU…
