All power to Bersih in its latest march.

The Centre for Human Rights Research and Advocacy (Centhra) is deeply disturbed by reports that the head of the red-shirts, Jamal Md Yunos, was allegedly punched in a scuffle with police at Ampang Point Mall in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur recently as well as the reactions of various quarters towards this incident.

UPDATED 6.25PM | Bersih deputy chairperson says he will lead protesters at Masjid Negara while Ambiga will replace Maria at Jalan Bangsar.

Bersih 5 is scheduled to take place this Saturday, while the red-shirts have also organised a counter-rally on the same day.

The Bersih 5 rally will be held on Nov 19 from 10am to 6pm.

From anti-Bersih to pro-Bersih.

Gabungan Bertindak Malaysia (GBM) urges all Malaysians, regardless of race and religion, to join the Bersih 5 rally on Nov 19 and support the five demands of the rally for clean elections, clean government, strengthening of parliamentary democracy, the right to dissent and empowering Sabah and Sarawak.

Jamal and his supporters helped propel Bersih into the limelight instead of burying the movement.

All that sabre-rattling appears to be just that.

Raising the stakes in demanding reforms?
