Street protests lead to chaos? To Bersih, they paved the way to Malaysia's birth and reforms

KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 — Street demonstrations do not always lead to mere chaos, Bersih said today following royal criticism of its past rallies and protests in general.

“Bersih respectfully disagrees, and we would like to point out that protests are legitimate means of political expression and are formative to our country's history,” the Bersih steering committee said in a statement. He also pointed to past Bersih rallies as examples of public demonstrations that “never achieved anything, except chaos, destruction and a black mark on our nation’s history!”.

It listed the 1947 multiracial Putera-AMCJA coalition advocacy for the People’s Constitution, the 1974 Baling Demonstration, the 1998 Reformasi movement, and most recently, the Malaysian Bar’s Walk for Judicial Independence to defend a judge who presided over a corruption trial that led to the conviction of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

“We demanded for institutional changes to existing laws to end the scourge of corruption in this country and for the culprits will be held accountable,” Bersih said.

Bersih is about being a Puppet for DAP PKR n PH. Street Demonstration definitely cause Chaos n Disruption to Business Communities surrounding. PH once a Government but failed miserably. On the LiesFake Manifesto. During the Good Economic days. Bersih n PH need Reforms.
