First, there was the article from The Star newspaper on the 7th of May 2012, entitled :
that told the world and quenching and satisfying their fear that the tear gas used in the rally was used worldwide in many countries also and it was also United Nations approved......
But... what you know......
Today, 10th May 2012, there came another article...... that actually says that UN never approved such stuff. Found on the internet while surfing, this article entitled UN does not approve tear gas as a riot control agent (yea its a link you can click to read the article) caught my eye.... so..... in other words, the Malaysian government and police screwed up again? They are telling more and more lies to their own citizens of the country, in order to cover up their asses? Don´t they find it embarassing to say such things without checking out their facts? Or are they actually portraying to the international world and community that Malaysians are that stupid (pardon me, but that´s how you are actually showing yourselves to the world at the moment.... first the flop in the Bersih rally, blaming every citizen but not yourselves, then the "censored" version of BBC news - embarassing to call yourselves media, and then the "modified" speech of Senator Xenophon´s speech and now this...)?
By the way, as we are on the tear gas topic. I have seen circulations of the little canister used for the tear gas. CS Gas.
The police was quoted saying that this item, this chemical thing, is safe. Do you really know? According to Wikipedia : CS Gas (Yet another reference link to check out), too much exposure of it, especially in close contacts is not good? or that it can also increase the chances of miscarriages within the women community? Hence...... in that tens of thousands that attended the rally, both young and old women and girls, and the amount of tear gas fired (which sadly, you also fired on "international" folks such as Senator Xenophon and his fellow members, or any other unreported tourist within that area that you may have shot on) to everyone, will you then be willing to take that risk of being pinned down when, who knows *touch wood* if one of those ladies and young girls there can´t conceive anymore?
Why can´t the government open their eyes and minds and not just look within their range of power and money and corruption?
On a different scale, read in one of the Australian dailies, a very interesting article entitled Najib´s Malaysia still stuck in the murk (please click to read the article) caught my eye... Ok, there are some that would say, Australia isn´t considered international due to they behave and think more asian than the rest of the western world, but still....... for even our neighbouring countries to be able to see and say that Malaysia is a beautiful place that is modern on the outside but not the inside, don´t you think that there is something really wrong here?
Besides all the critics and all the ongoings that has been going on all this time in Malaysia, the beloved PM still insists on having an election in June. Will the election really be a clean election? When international observers that came to observe, can even say that we aren´t "updated" when it comes to electorial ways?
I really hate one thing about the ongoings in Malaysia. Irregardless whether I have voted all these years or not, when I was 21 I already missed 1 or 2 elections as elections are only once every 5 years, I still have a say in this matter as I am a Malaysian.
I don´t agree with the bloody authorities or even Mahathir saying that the citizens are acting like the Middle East. Mahathir´s daughter is right. What is so wrong with a peaceful assembly? What is it about the country that cannot accept change? Even back then when I was a little girl, I always hear braggings about how Malaysia is "Beautiful Malaysia" and such...... is it really that beautiful when you have such "monsters" lurking in the dark? We are more united than what the government can see...... True there may be some weird ones (mind you... if you read online newspapers alot and read the comments posted, you know there still are many sick sick old fashion and not moving forward thinking people still around), but then again.... we are suppose to be moving forward as a country not backward.
You condemn the Western world so freely from seeing the news or even being in the western world partially.... but do you know, one thing, especially in the European continent, we really are given free speech, not just say and get shot at the back later....... Many people misunderstood many things about the Western world, just like how the Western world has misunderstood many things about us Asians on a personal life to life and friend to friend basis. I know this because, marrying a "White" man opened up my eyes to alot of things and vice versa for my husband (another topic for another time..... ^^). But... before you start condemning me for this article or the Western world I chose to side, I think you should sit back and evaluate what is happening in our own home land known as Malaysia.
I, and with many others, aren´t those lunatics that want to see international interference and Malaysia getting bombed to pieces. I want my country to survive, to live and to prosper. I may no long live in Malaysia or in future be a Malaysian after changing residency (if I got the chance), but I have family back home and people whom I love dearly with all my heart. I don´t want to see these important people being lost to me forever. Not everyone in Malaysia is that "rich" to fly out of the country to avoid such dangers.....
A plea to the government.... open your hearts, broaden your minds and listen to the cries of your country and its citizens and stop pointing blame on them. With 1 finger you point and blame others, there are 3 more fingers pointing back at yourselves.
