YOURSAY | 'If we have more youths like Aidille, we would be a nation united, blessed and dynamic.'

Meet Bersih's unofficial sidekick, the Bersih Kid

BTN: I bought a packet of nasi lemak from Aidille Iman this morning, not knowing he has been featured in Malaysiakini. I liked the nasi lemak a lot and the two boys at the stall were very humble and friendly.

I hope to see more of this from other Malay kids as we need to be united and make this country great again.

HardTruth: Well done Aidille, what you are doing is extraordinary and inspiring.

Every citizen of this country should be concerned about the trajectory our country is heading, which is towards clear and present danger.

It is going to be ugly if we don't change course. You are making Malaysia a better place for all, your sense of duty to the nation, your courage and humility is selfless and humbling.

You should be named 'Malaysian of the Year', if there's such an award here.

Trueglitter: The awe-inspiring and heart-warming narrative of the youthful Aidille's endeavours at his humble-looking street stall has caused us to acknowledge the fact that life's journey will always have its challenges and unexpected turns, which only the wary and righteously determined will arrive in safety at destinations.

The invaluable lesson which one could glean from Aidille's unconquerable spirit despite his acknowledgement of the overwhelming injustice and unconcealed corruption perpetrated by the obnoxious and tyrannical Umno-led government now wrecking the nation and its people, should be one that will arouse the people's determination to demand for Malaysian Official 1's (MO1) resignation and subsequent incarceration.

The blatant acts of provocation and aggression committed by an emboldened red-shirts has become a national disgrace and humiliation, which should not be further tolerated.

The march of the angry men and women will be an invincible force that will ensure MO1's incarceration and Umno-BN's defeat in GE14.

Anonymous_1388029052: Aidille, you are a perfect role model for not only Malays but to all young Malaysians.

Your humility and courage, and sense of racial harmony should be emulated by all peace-loving Malaysians.

Inworldnotof: So young and yet with his head screwed properly on: parents of Aidille, you have done a mighty fine job raising a son like him.

Hope springs eternal with that clear-headedness about what he wants for, not just the nation and the fellow rakyat but what he wants to do for Malaysia.

With that honest grin that flashes nothing but pure optimism and a can-do spirit, his example of diligence, critical thinking and life choices is a much-needed breath of fresh air.

Change will come, must come, because there are ones like this bright young Malaysian in our midst, joining in the battle with the older rakyat to claim back our beloved land from darkness and its perpetrators.

Long live Malaysia.

Anonymous_1400076912: Aidille, I'm so touched by your love and concern for our beautiful country. You’ve demonstrated clearly what it means to love your country in your own special way.

Thank you so much young man for your patriotism.

It's my fervent prayer and hope that there'll be multitudes of young people like you in this blessed land who will rise up boldly and reclaim the united and prosperous nation we love.

MA: Indeed, a heart-warming story against today's headlines in the mainstream media, where our ministers have warned of the full brunt of the law against Bersih participants and even government servants being threatened with a "potong gaji" (pay cut) if they join Bersih.

Anonymous_4031c: If we have more youths like Aidille, we would be a nation united, blessed and dynamic.

Appum: Aidille, I like your last statement – “If there is a new administration in the government, I would like to become the inspector-general of police, then for sure I would sack all these circus people, give them free tickets to Sungai Buloh jail.”

Anonymous #03815719: Aidille, you alone have put Sungai Besar Umno chief Jamal Md Yunos and the red-shirts gang to shame.

I must thank your parents for giving you a good upbringing. Surely they will be very, very proud of you.

Reading this article alone has made me hold you in high esteem. Good luck to you and I hope you will become the IGP one day.

1Citizen: I am six decades older than this brave young man, who obviously has been well brought up. I would join the Bersih rally if I were a bit younger.

I am a man of peace with no political affiliations. But I am just as concerned as most Malaysians for I cannot imagine what this country would come to if the same government remains in power.

I may not live to see it come to that. For the nation's sake, I pray that God will show the light to the men (and women) who are currently blinded by selfish interests, who have no concern for the future generations.

This is not politics; this is treason.
