The Bersih co-chairman apologised to all Malaysians for not championing the cause for fair and free elections more strongly.
KUALA LUMPUR: Bersih co-chairman S Ambiga apologised to Malaysians but said it had nothing to do with the apology demand from the protesters.
Groups of protesters earlier demanded an apology from Ambiga for organising the Bersih 3.0 rally on April 28.
“I am honoured to be the co-chairman of Bersih with Pak Samad (National Laureate A Samad Said).
“I am prepared to apologise for not fighting harder for free and fair elections,” Ambiga said in reference to the memorandums handed in by Kuala Lumpur Traders Action Council and the 1Malaysia Youth Movement.
The memorandums were filled with various accusations against her.
She also apologised to her neighbours because the presence of the protest groups had turned “my neighbourhood like a war zone”.
Ambiga, who is a former Bar Council president, also had a message for the traders seeking compensation.
“Weigh the gains of free and fair elections against it [the losses that traders suffered].”
She also was a little disappointed with the authorities who allowed the group of protesters to come to her street.
“The authorities should have nipped it in the bud; nevertheless I thank them,” Ambiga said.
