EYEWITNESS Initially I did not have any intention to write about my experience in the Bersih 2.0 rally. But after the government's stand against the movement, I can no longer be silent.

I am a 39-year-old Indian Malaysian doctor living in Kajang. In 2007, I had wanted to attend the first Bersih rally in Kuala Lumpur, but was stopped from going by my mother and wife who was pregnant with my second son. Now my boys are three and five years old.
