Dari laman Malaysiakini:
Academic says Bersih rally mere 'wayang kulit'
Jun 23, 11 3:49pm
The organiser of the illegal assembly set for July 9, is hell-bent in tarnishing Malaysia's image as a nation blessed with peace, harmony and prosperity, according to several political analysts.
They said one of the hidden agendas of the organiser was to leave a black mark in the nation's history, apart from distracting the people's attention from the pending sodomy court case involving a leading Opposition political leader.
Non-government organisation 1Agenda chairman Zul Azhar Cha, who is also a blogger, said he had information that the organiser had invited the international media to give wide coverage to the illegal assembly.
He recently lodged a police report against the assembly.
Previously, similar illegal assemblies were held in 1998 and 2007, which in turn caused inconvenience to the public and
damage to public property, attracting bad publicity from the international media.
According to a lecturer in politics and international studies from Universiti Utara Malaysia, Md Shukri Shuib, while the damage to the streets was bad, the bad publicity generated by international news agencies was worse.
He said, Malaysia then was portrayed as no longer a paradise for shoppers and tourists.
"Instead, it deemed as being in a chaotic state, with images and false and one-sided information fed by a certain 'reform' group," he told Bernama recently.
Not many will sympathise
However, the lecturer believed that the majority of Malaysians were much wiser than to blindly let themselves be taken in by the wayang kulit (shadow play) orchestrated by the organiser.
"What is one hundred thousand in numbers as compared to the millions of Malaysians who make up the silent majority... the ones who have been enjoying peace and stability, and quietly supporting the government for the future of their younger generations?" he asked.
Businesswoman Zabedah Daud, a political observer in Shah Alam, said, not many would sympathise with a group which planned to put Malaysia in limbo for its own political gains when the current government had tackled almost every issue.
"How can they (organiser of illegal assembly) say they want a fair election when it is already fair as fair can be?
"I think, if the Election Commission is not fair or more pro-BN government, would the opposition have won the five states in the last general election,?" asked the grandmother of 18 grandchildren.
Stressing that the future of a stable and peaceful Malaysia was of utmost importance to her, and for the sake of her grandchildren, Zabedah hoped wisdom would prevail.
She urged the organiser of the illegal rally to abandon the planned illegal gathering which would bring nothing positive to the country.
Admitting that she could make reasonable guess on the hidden agenda of the illegal rally, she asked: "Is the ambition of one man to become the prime minister, more important than the future of 27 million Malaysians?"

Kita ada beberapa buah stesen tv, milik kerajaan dan juga swasta. Kita juga memiliki ramai pelajar dari sekolah menengah (mulai dari tingkatan satu sehinggalah ke tingkatan enam atas). Kita juga memiliki sekian buah IPTA dan IPTS, dan di sana terdapat begitu ramai sekali mahasiswanya.
Mereka, kebanyakan pelajar ini, adalah anak-anak muda negara ini. Sila dapatkan tiga orang pelajar di atas, termasuk yang di tingkatan satu untuk berdebat secara terbuka.
Biarlah mereka yang di atas (namanya telah kita tebalkan itu) menjadi pencadangnya dan anak-anak muda kita pula, menjadi pembangkangnya.
Tajuknya, kira-kira begini: Bersih 2.0 adalah idea rakyat yang haprak
Marilah kita dengar dan lihat ― secara terbuka dan langsung bagaimana rakyat kita (termasuk yang cendiakawan universiti kita itu) berhujah.
ii.
Untuk tidak terus-terusan ― ditiunamakan, elok juga Bernama menemuramah, misalnya Jusoh Kepala Bukit, Bukit Meriam, Kota Kuala Muda, Kedah yang insyallah akan hadir pada 9 Julai 2011 nanti.
Yakin dan percayalah zaman ‘berhujah’ dan membuat berita seperti di atas, telah lama berlalu. Oleh itu bangunlah dari mimpi-mimpi era lalu.
Dan berhentilah dari terus-terusan putar-belit dan menjadi pecacai ― tak elok menjadi pecacai sehingga ke akhir hayat.
