Berlakon dan teruslah berpura-pura

Asalkan terdaya, teruslah berpura-pura dan berlakon?

428 kini menjadi sejarah manis buat setiap lapisan rakyat Malaysia yang mendambakan sebuah pemerintah yang baik.  Sebuah pemerintah yang dipilih rakyat secara JANTAN ― bukannya dengan cara menipu.

Apa pun Umno dengan bantuan sayap samsengnya telahpun meninggalkan cirit birit hijaunya di segala lorong, parit, longkang, sudut, kaki lima, simpang dan segala stesen di jantung Kuala Lumpur.  Parti Melayu itu kini luka berdarah dicakar kawat berduri yang dipasangnya sendiri.  Kawat berduri jenis perangkap-penjenayah itu, matanya jeli, tajam lagi berbisa telah merobek-robek jantung Umno.

Tapi seperti biasa, Umno masih jua mencari helah menafikan hakikat:  Dia telah kalah di tangan rakyat.

Malam ini seorang teman, menitip sebuah pesanan ringkas:

“I think it was a great success with so many people turning up. Even though there were allegations of “protestors” who resorted to violence, if true, they were of the minority.  Actually many are convinced that there were provocaters,  purposely planted by the Government to create havoc.

Of course there are lessons to be learnt ― especially how to organise future rallies of such a gigantic magnitude. Many, including our group, didn’t receive any message when it was declared over and we were to disperse.  The tear gas did not reach our group, but it was mild and we managed to walk back to Bangsar without being trapped. 

What shall be the follow-up action? I think many people are doing the right things by collecting and compiling photos and videos of the wrong doings of the police.”         

Malaysia, negara kita yang tercinta ini telah melahirkan beberapa orang lagi seasoned street joggers,  craving for change.

Syukurlah.
