Following two major street demonstrations in November, three more public rallies are expected to be held in Klang Valley streets next month. The three planned rallies will be held despite stern warnings from the government which includes invoking the Internal Security Act – against protesters. On Dec 9, the Bar Council will hold its annual Human Rights Day march, which Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (Bersih) has expressed intent on joining. Two days later, Bersih will hold a demonstration outside Parliament House to protest against impending constitutional amendments that will raise the age limit of Election Commission members. The third rally is organised by a coalition of opposition parties and NGOs to protest impending hike in highway toll charges in several states beginning Jan 1 next year. The anti-toll hike rally has not been formally announced and the date and venue have yet to be finalised. Bersih representative Faisal Mustaffa told a press conference today that coalition members will dress in yellow to march alongside lawyers from the Bar Council. The planned route will take marchers from Sogo to Central Market, where several Human Rights awareness activities are scheduled. The Bar Council is expected to make a final announcement on their annual march on Dec 1.

by the Prime Minister that I.S.A detention is possible to be used against them. So what does it means? The P.M has told beforehand that “jangan menyesal kemudian if kena tangkap“. Citizens of Malaysia are not allowed to gather peacefully and voice their complaints publicly. It’s threatens the stability of the country’s politics and economics.
Mr Prime Minister of Malaysia,
Being a citizen of Malaysia and peace loving individual, I really request you to be considered and kind towards our freedom of speech and voicing out our complaints dear Mr. Prime Minister. Please don’t use such a harsh treatment of I.S.A against us. We do not want I.S.A! We too love peace and democracy as you wish. We love our country and those people who resides in this country. We just want to voice out our grief and pains to you. If not to you, then where else do we go Mr. Prime Minister?
Thanks & Regards
