For a long time, Malaysians have been denied the right to voice their grievances. Whatever grouses they have will definitely fall on deaf ears or, if written, will find its way to the paper shredder. So where can people turn to if they want to be heard?

Bersih provided the avenue. What is so wrong about it? In fact, the so-called "illegal gathering" would not have been illegal in the first place if the police had not blatantly rejected the permit but instead, allowed it to proceed with certain conditions.

Many politicians are barking up the wrong tree claiming that the public is not matured enough to accept certain truths. A good example was at the recent Umno general assembly which was not broadcasted live this year. The politician himself had been primitively immature during an Al Jazeera interview regarding the Bersih campaign. There are many incidents, in fact, a long list of mockery in "Bolehland." It is so difficult to lift up one's head as a Malaysian when we are facing countless problems now.

The international trade minister had the cheek to say that during her overseas trip, no one from the foreign business fraternity bothered to ask about what was happening in Malaysia. My dear, the simple answer is that they already know. Perhaps they were too embarrassed to hear your usual stereotypical answer.

The law minister screamed with confidence "No one is above the law." Yes, he is correct but it only applies to Malaysians with no title or influence. The extension of houses without proper approval was duly pulled down but a "palace" is untouchable. Calling the lawyers who marched "crazy" is such a distasteful comment from a learned individual.

The information minister became frenzied by the Bersih campaign and the way he conducted himself in the interview leaves much to be desired.

Corruption has found its way into every department. It is hoped that Bersih's campaign will be an eye-opener for all Malaysians and the government as well. The government should appreciate the peaceful march and take the cue to clean up what was taken for granted.

Those who condemned the Bersih march as an inconvenience are ignorant to the fact that it was caused by police roadblocks around the city. If a permit was granted, the march could have easily been over in 45 minutes. The results that Bersih achieves will definitely benefit Malaysians of all ethnic groups. So, may I ask, what is it so wrong with Bersih?

Malaysians are not senile. They can vividly remember when the previous prime minister announced his wish to step down. A fanfare of shock and hypocritical demeanour took the stage. Tears from certain ministers were flowing like cascading waterfalls and cajolery was abound. Those who put up the Oscar-winning act was truly "Malaysia boleh." With a different prime minister, what happens now? They happily sing a different tune.

Malaysians must understand the county's constitution and stand up for Malaysians rights enshrined in laws. Honestly, I love to watch you ministers who have the holier-than-thou attitude.
