It is not a one-size-fits-all NGO that monitors and holds a protest at a drop of a coin over every single issue.

COMMENT | It is with mixed emotions of bewilderment, amusement and sadness that I read the statement issued by Suaram's adviser, Kua Kia Soong where he made many spurious and misleading allegations against Bersih 2.0. He accuses Bersih of hypocrisy, inconsistency and inaction when it comes to Pakatan Harapan. Such serious allegations by a veteran social activist and educator such as Kua requires a factual and robust response from me as the current chairperson of Bersih 2.

Bersih 2.0 is totally a civil society-led organisation since 2010 and our position has always been non-partisan when it comes to political parties. The scope of our focus as an organisation is the strengthening of democracy with an emphasis on electoral reform. We fight for procedural democracy without any illusion that there is a set of ideals that would fit or unite all Malaysians.

COMMENT | Is Bersih for the people or a Harapan front?Bersih must clarify who they are standing for if they are to march again. By now we need to be real. After TAR, our politics was never about people nor nation. When we were blessed in rising tide, we didn’t see the gap. Now in low tide, we see clearly. Hopefully we find the will to put people and nation foremost going forward. Any political parties who does understand the importance of working together for the sake of the nation and people are therefore hopeless.
