Following the BERSIH rally, there's a very interesting interview conducted by Al Jazeera with Lawyer Malik Imtiaz Sarwar, law minister Nazri Aziz, and the Son-in-Law. I've read, but nothing can be more real than seeing how the rally was carried out and handled by the police force, including throwing canon water and tear gas at the crowd with my own eyes.
Watch the youtube put up by Al Jazeera here and here and listen to what each of them has to say with regard to the rally and whether or not the demand by the public for institutional change is a valid item to the ministers.
I might not be as neutral as I thought I am, but the conversations had given me nothing but a feel that the people involved, whoever they are, are playin this against-the-opposition-game. Vice versa? I don't know. And what was said was merely something they're supposed or probably told to say. Listen to the law minister's reply to the question whether or not there's a need for institutional change; it's just, disappointing. Repeating the same answer ain't giving you extra points, it shows only you're intellectually vacuous.
'There ain't nothing wrong with the system coz we've been following it for the past 50th years.' Oh yea!! that's why Malaysia is at where she is now!
It's simply annoying when one knows there're flaws urgently needed to be corrected and yet still stubbornly denying it for the sake of denying.

Msia tends to have this denial syndrome. the govt seldom says "we'll look into the matter if that's the case"
instead of that, the govt will deny from the outright. my recent posting on world's university rankings was targetted on the dep minister's comments. really absurd response from a dep minister
Yea. Spot on!
I've read that from your blog too. It is simply frustrating. Sigh!
The uniqueness of being a human being is that we have the ability to reflect; to reflect upon our doings, upon things that happened, be it of a personal level or in a public context, den we analyse and troubleshoot. Even if we've acheive success, this process never stops.
With such response from them, I wonder if that ability to reflect think, analyse and troubleshoot have been flushed down the drain?
