It´s been years and yet Malaysia is still unable to "throw off" the dirty and corrupted government and it´s leader, the Prime Minister of Malaysia. And now, not only is he being such a paranoid "baboon", he is now arresting anyone and everyone who speaks ill of him or even tries to get Malaysia to be free of corruption.
Below, is an article, written by the 3 children of Maria Chin Abdullah, the chairperson of this Bersih "group". Apparently, on the eve of Malaysia´s 5th Bersih Rally, this lady (even after all the death threats to her and her family and NO ACTION was taken to PROTECT her and her family from those thugs of "that certain someone in Malaysia") is now arrested under the charges of Destabilising the Government.
I really hope, that one day.... some outside help - be it whether from UN or NATO or whatsoever - would come help the Malaysians to be freed from dictatorship (Shame how they always insist that Malaysia is a democracy country and able to do free speech.... but on the other hand lock everyone who is doing it)!

A letter after our mother's arrest ahead of the Bersih 5 rally
The following is a letter written by the children of Bersih chairperson Maria Chin Abdullah, after her arrest.
It is the eve of the Bersih rally. We are sure that everybody is preparing for the rally, for what seems to be the next step to achieving a free and fair election for Malaysia.
It was around 6pm, we were at home preparing dinner when we received a call from a family friend asking if we were okay and if we heard about the news.
Confused about what was going on, we asked her what happened.
She explained to us that our mother has been arrested and was brought to a police station for further processing.
Within the next hour we were at the police station and as we arrived we had to wait for one of our mother’s lawyers to bring us in to see our mother.
While we were in the processing room, our mother explained to us that she was being charged for destabilising the government.
Both Mandeep Singh and our mother were reassuring us that everything is going to be fine in a calm and collective state.
We hope that the charges would be dropped and that she would be released soon.
After everything that has transpired, it is disappointing that people who fight for a fair and clean election have been branded as a threat to the country.
Is this the type of country that we Malaysians want to live in, where corruption runs amok, elections are rigged and innocents are placed behind bars?
When we were younger, we did not understand what our parents were fighting for or why our father was protesting strongly against the Internal Security Act.
He is gone now. We are old enough to understand the importance and sacrifice of the work that people like them do.
As we are writing this, we as Malaysians, are hours away from an opportunity to voice out to make a change in Malaysia.
It is why it is so important for us, as Malaysians, to show that we will not tolerate the injustice that government officials have got away with.
We implore to our fellow Malaysians that are attending the rally, or are watching it at home, to listen to the speakers and to understand what Bersih is trying to achieve.
We hope that the rally will be peaceful and to see you there.
Sincerely,
Azumin, Aziman, Azemi.
Azumin, Aziman, Azemi.
