MR PRIME MINISTER DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING?
Mr. Prime Minister,
First there were 2,500.
Then there were 138,000.
Now there are 30,000.
Tomorrow there will be more.
The day after even more.
Mr. Prime Minister,
Do you hear them?
Do you hear the people sing?
Do you hear the song of angry men?
Do you hear the music of the people who will not keep silent any more?
Do you hear the beating of the people’s hearts?
The beating of their hearts for justice is louder than the beating your police can give.
Mr. Prime Minister,
Do you see them?
Do you see the people’s tears?
Do you see the people in a sea of yellow two kilometers long?
Do you see the tears on their faces?
The tears from their cry for democracy are more than those your tear gas can cause.
Mr. Prime Minister,
Do you feel them?
Do you feel the people’s force?
Do you feel the strength of the people who will not be marginalized and oppressed any more?
The strength of their resolve for equality is more than the force of your water canons.
Mr. Prime Minister,
Do you know them?
Do you know the people’s dream?
Do you know the dream of the people for justice, equality, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
The power of the people in their thirst for justice, is stronger than the brute force you can ever muster.
Mr Prime Minister,
Do you hear the people?

Desiderata:
I spent a half-day as a leisurely companion to friend-of-30years Journalist Terence Netto on a exploratory trip to Port Dickson and Rembau where we absorbed in the half pesta atmosphere of roads lined with UMNO, BN, PKR and PAS flags and election posters and buntings. And this time around, while the BN still demonstrated dominance in terms of quantity because of their limitless money power, the Opposition has come pretty prepared and putting up a decent presence.
By the way, PKR State Chairman Kamarul Baharin Abbas is challenging MIC incumbent Sothinathan in Teluk Kemang and an impressive young Che'Gu Badrul Hisham Shaharin fighting is fighting a gallant battle against PM's son-in-lw Khairy Jamaluddin in Rembau. Stay tuned for some Interesting Stories from Terence and some spicy titbits/bytes from Desi as my colleague was working furiously while I eavesdropped. Or drooped?
Jest a TEAser now -- Midway during the journey, we received a call from Merdeka Centre contact reporting news that truly excited us -- that feedback from the ground shows Nurul Izzah -- PKR's Puteri Reformasi! -- is now 50-50 with minister Sharizat Jalil defending her hot Parliament seat of Lembah Pantai.
Hey, a possibility of upsetting BN incumbents -- "giant killers"! -- in PKR's landscape!:)

There is a time and place for TRIVIA and RAMBLINGS, and this present GE2008 ELECTION WATCH is NOT that place nor time.
So be wise, and take thy personal battles elsewhere. ~~ Desi
IN DEFENSE OF Dato Seri Anwar
Hey! Dr Chandra Muzaffar are you trying to dazzle the poor Malaysians with your “Doctor” whatever that stands for; please la Doc. That Phd. Does not mean shit, It does not make you more intelligent and it does not neam that you are any smater than when you started. A Phd. Just means that you had taken an in depth study of one aspect of a subject and as a matter of fact a Phd merely leads to a career in teaching, Our Asian people are so awed by that Phd., thinking that these Phd. Types Know it all, nothing is further from the truth.
Comrade Chandra to my way of thinking, and by your claims made against Dato Seri, I say that you are bloody naïve. We are all humans (I think so) and we have emotions and full of bias and prejudices; and above all we are in truth all racist. I am racist & you are racist, and the only difference between a Mahatma Ghandi type saint and an ARYAN Nazi thug is that most of us who dare claim that he is not racist (you can leave me out because I am racist) are those who’ve got a two bit claim to having higher education, a wanna be intelltual. Comrade Chandra says that Dato Seri in the past had been consistently not in favour of Chinese and maybe he is truthful, while Dr Lim Kheng Yaik claims that Dato Seri is chamileon and in Lim Kheng Yaik’s experience with Dato Seri he could be speaking the truth. Bearing in mind that we all carry a lot of baggage are we correct in our estimation of the man. We are all very complex and we are all driven by self interests; therefore what oue see is not really what is the man ! We can never tell what a man will do in all circumstances because what we see as the man is only the tip of the iceberg.
Politics is all about perception and creating an IMAGE of the politician, and we just cannot know what the whole man is in truth. For Dr Chandra & Dr Lim Kheng Yaik to say that they both ahd worked with Dato Seri and that they know the man is ingenious. Both these Dr.’s are playing their support for the BN and not quite really to give an assessment of Dato Seri for what he is factually, because that will be beyond their capability. Having said that I say both of them are naïve THAT IS NOT HOW THE GAME OF POLITICS IS PLAYED. We can only take Dato Seri at his word and the issue is therefore ARE WE HAPPY WITH HIS PROGRAMME FOR HIS GOVERNMENT ? That to my mind is all that we need to ask and we will have to take him at his word; because we just cannot do otherwise. WE DO NOT NEED TO KNOW WHAT IN TRUTH HE IS LIKE AND THAT BY OUR UNDERSTANDING HE WILL OR WILL NOT DLIVER WHAT HE HAD PROMISED FOR THE ELECTION. There is no need to go too far out of the way; ask yourselves what had BN promised for the last election (1999) and did BN deliver ? I do not think so !
Dato Seri and the United Front of DAP, PAS and Keadilan HAS MADE IT THEIR PLATFORM that if elected he and his United Front will deliver a GOVERNMENT FOR ALL MALAYSIANS AND TO STEP BACK FROM RACE BASED POLITICS. That is what we must accept for the truth; and if he ever fail to deliver then the next election vote him and his United Front out. This is what will therefore develop into a TWO PARTY POLITICAL STRUCTURE. Is this not what we want, and what is the profit if we just not believe him and we merely take the word og the two Dr.’s both of them are pretentious and know it all. I say do not listen to them shooting hot air. VOTE OPPOSITION and let 2 party politics develop.
