BERSIH, now HINDRAF and next …APAKABENDETAH. Who is right?

Last time it was BERSIH with their petition to bring back the justice on election. There are four items on the petition which they focus on which im not sure what it is (too lazy to know bout politics) but one thing for sure they want to eliminates election by post. That was 2 weeks back when this majority group of BERSIH consist of multiracial comity supported by NGO and opposition party filed their petition anfd set a rally to Istana Negara to pass down the the Sultan. which was not a success but successfully creating a major blockade for entire in out of KL city, Jalan Masjid Jamek and Jalan Istana.

And today 25 November 2007 another rally set by the indian community called "HINDRAF" which basically have the same stuff in mind pass a petition to the British Embassy as per said containing their civil right and ethnic equality. Numbers of Indian community travel from all over Malaysia with several shouts and slogan.

“No democracy in Malaysia, no human rights in Malaysia”.

Others held placards that read:

“We too fought for the independence of this country. Why neglect our rights?”.

same as the BERSIH rally, it cost nuthing but destruction, problems, troubles and again MAJOR BLOCKADE in KL. Yes Kuala Lumpur the capital city of Malaysian, and KLCC being the heart of Kuala Lumpur had been cramped with protestors and Riot Police, armoured riot car, Gas canister, and Chemical induced water (used by the riot police)..

As far as im concern, the rally was set to be a peaceful rally but turns out to be aggressive after the riot police start to bblock and create a human barrier between them. Worst come to worst when the armoured riot car start splashing it chemical induced water with riot police firing its gas canister towards the crowds.It has been a normal act of protection for the riot service to do that as for now since the crowd didnt want to disperse. I have no idea how many ppl had been arrested for this HINDRAF rally.

small question here, why need to use such force????

BIG Question: do this huge group of people such as BERSIH and HINDRAF do the correct stuff voicing their freedom of democracy or is it GOVERNMENT who claimed to be a democratic but yet to practice one.

Seriously i have no idea bout this since in not into politics at all, but i do believed in freedom of speech and freedom of democracy. Which i presume is yet to be 100% practice by the government which leads to such 2 major havoc within forthnight. Im not blaming the government for not being 100% purely democratic as for maybe they have their own agenda.. i love Malaysia and i do support current government for bringing the country in the eyes of the world but at times i felt sorry for those ppl who fight for their right and need to turn out to create such mess.

The concern is not 100% bout the group such as BERSIH nor HINDRAF nor the GOVERNMENT, but to the ppl around wo wants to live in harmony with no such dirty or unforseen justice of politics. People like me just want to enjoy the gateway of Kuala Lumpur during weekends but being interupted by such havoc situation is just a NO NO…

Being Neutral sometimes do create a cloud of thought bout what both party had done, in this case Such group (HINDRAF and BERSIH) with the GOVERNMENT. What is the solution to all this chaotic activity which brings me no more than a simple boring "not another protest" thingy.

Should i be on the fight for own justice side or neutral side or pro government side??
