I just watched the video of the Teratai candlelight vigil. If I consider everything there is for real, then it makes my blood boil just as with what had happened to Hindraf or Bersih supporters.

The Chinese, the Indians, the middle class and poor Malays - citizens of this country - are trying to make a point about their dissatisfaction with the way things are run in this country. But what do they get? Other poor policemen (all Malays), who have no choice but to do their jobs for a living , have to follow orders to harass and arrest these dissenters. This makes for a perception that it is the Malays, Chinese and Indians are under-attack. Funny isn't it. Not at all ... not at all. It makes my blood boil.

When you stand up against the tyranny of the rich and the powerful, do not think only the Malays, clearly there are many Chinese and Indians who will stand up as well. The video on Teratai candlelight vigil clearly shows what you will get. The deprived Chinese people of our country express it in their own ways. The deprived Malay people in theirs and the deprived Indians in their own ways.

The policy of the rich and the powerful, however, is to keep us divided so they can continue to allocate resources to themselves with impunity and in utter collusion.

The way they choose to do it is to keep the people weak and powerless. They do it in so many ways. They use perceptions so much to their advantage, thanks to the advise by world-class public relations companies. What Raja Petra wrote recently about the war of perception is so real.

It is all about how the resources of this country is divided -- who gets what. When the economy runs into a crisis, do the laid-off people get looked after, or do the corporations that are in jeopardy of losing their raison d'etre get a bailout? Look at the facts. How many laid-off people have got real assistance by the government's policy? Look at the bailout amounts that are regularly dished out to corporations.

All of you people out there need to be awaken and do what Bersih did, do what Hindraf did and do what Teratai did. Fear is the weapon the rich and the powerful have used all throughout history - once we make that weapon no more a weapon, there is nothing they can do to stop the march of History.

People - Chinese, Malays, Indians, wake up. Our body temperatures are all 98.4 degrees F. The skin colours may vary but we are all born, we live and we die, leaving behind our children to retrace our paths to infinity. Tell me, is there a difference? Wake up and unite against tyranny.
