The Bersih (Coalition for Free and Fair Elections) rally of Nov 10 pressing for electoral reforms will surely go down as a watershed in our political history, for more reasons than one. The last time the nation witnessed such a mammoth gathering of protestors, was almost a decade back, along the Kesas Highway, in the raging days of Reformasi.

Like that of Kesas, Umno, being the real perpetrator on the assault of 'justice' and now 'rape of democracy', remains its primary target. Similarly like Kesas, Nov 10 turns out to be a real double whammy unto Umno. Firstly, Bersih's choice of holding the gathering people, the following day after the conclusion of the Umno general assembly was too outrageous for their ego, especially because Bersih is bent on submitting their memorandum to the Constitutional Monarch, the Yang DiPertuan Agong and not to the CEO of the government.
