To read my own eyewitness accounts of police violence here’s the link: Bersih Gathering: Masjid Jamek Police Violence
For additional reports/views from around the Internet:
40,000 protest for free and fair elections (Subscription needed)
Will next year be like 1998 election in Malaysia? (Clearer Al Jazeera video there. Can see Jeff Ooi more clearly :D)
[1441] Of from the frontline of Bersih rally (great pics! read how the photographer managed to travel pass police lines)
Yellow March summarized (to those that really need a condensed version. And that domain name, cun!)
Scenes of 10 November 2007
Malaysian petitioners defy police
BERSIH rally [part 2] Peaceful? Crack down?
Police disperse illegal assembly (quite lame, IMHO)
To those of you still trying to figure out the point of the rally, here’s the actual memorandum.
And finally, just relax la. We have another yellow supporter here!

Our Government puts the the number at 4,000. As Mr Lim Kit Siang puts it, a serious case of “innumeracy”. How the fuck the Mr Zam Zam ala kazam dared to give out such a blatant lie? I wonder how he could live like that.
Sorry to hear that you didn’t manage to get to the palace. I was on the safe route with the other 40,000. The sight was breathtaking, people in yellow were streaming out of nowhere to the Istana Negara. The return journey up the, with the slight upward winding of the road, shows just how many more were there.

Hey Dan-yel!
Glad to know you made it safely with the others.
As for the number at 4000, it really does seem like the media is trying to spin this gathering as insignificant. Let’s hope people who don’t know much details on this event will use the Internet to find out more.
