The coalition is wholly unsatisfied with the PSC report, and has written a response to each of the 22 recommendations put forth in the report. The response is here. In light of this unsatisfactory PSC report, the coalition has announced BERSIH 3.0.
BERSIH 3.0 will take the form of a sit-in (“duduk bantah” in Bahasa Malaysia) on April 28th 2012, and will take place across Malaysia and throughout the world. In addition to the demands of the previous BERSIH demonstrations, BERSIH 3.0 has three demands, namely:
1. The Election Commission must resign, as it has failed in its responsibility and has lost the confidence of the public.
2. The electoral process must be cleaned before the 13th General Elections.
3. Invite international observers to observe the 13th General Elections.
Through BERSIH 3.0, we will continue our struggle for clean and fair elections, assembling and expressing our views peacefully as are our rights as enshrined in the Federal Constitution.
Peace!
I think for the next assembly, Bersih should consider to assemble in a line next to the PLUS highway or any highway. Find a stretch of the highway which is safe for the participants to stand. By doing so, you may form a long line of participants along the highway. This is good as the motorists will be able to witness this long line of human protesting for fair election. Participants may also bring banners. It is also difficult for the police or FRU to disperse the crowd (which is in a form of a long line) as they (police and FRU) will face difficulties to reach the whole crowd when firing tear gas or water canon. If the line breaks, the crowd may then reconnect back the line after the firing of tear gas and water cannon stop.
Good luck and regards.
