When yellow raincoats are radical!

From last Saturday onwards, yellow disposable raincoat will be considered as the most fashionable and subversive street wear and we have GUARDIAN counters to thank.


Clap. Clap.

Apart from the massive public turnout (estimated at around 80K by a participant and 40K by Malaysiakini.com), the next best thing about the BERSIH rally is the willingness of the Royal Institution to accept the memorandum despite Pak Lah’s warning, not to drag the Royal Institution into politics. This house hopes more will come out of this event. The huge number of demonstrators marching to the Royal Palace also reflects how the public could no longer withstand our powers that be’ s dirty electoral tactics and manipulation of democracy. But of course, even Hitler is a product of the ballot box.


As for Zainuddin Maidin. I felt like drowning myself into the huge swimming pool in front of my room as I listen to him desperately trying to sound firm but unintelligent (that does not need any trying, me thinks) over the phone with Al-Jazeera. There gotta be SOMETHING that earns him such a position that overestimates his ability and talents.

Boo. Boo.

To the demonstrators, hail to democracy!
