1) Bring a small but thick towel (to cover your nose and mouth from tear-gas.)
2) Wear long pants and long sleeve shirt (to protect your body from tear-gas stings...)
3) Bring a small packet of fine salt (salt is an effective antidote against the stings...)
4) Don't open your mouth (as the tear-gas can enter your mouth and cause you to cough badly)
5) Don't wait for the gas to reach you.
6) Wear jogging shoes...
7) Carry an umbrella
8) Carry a bottle of water and your camera.
9) Don't bring your children
10) Stay away from the frontline...
11) Lastly, go early. (At least 2 hours earlier...
Finally, there is the Unit Amal (PAS Security Unity) to protect participants. They are highly disciplined, well mannered and trained volunteers. I was impressed by them. They were there to ensure a peaceful assembly and so were the frontliners, to protect the protestors from the police as well as to protect the police from the protestors. If you want to burn a flag, they will stop you. If you want to throw a stone, they will stop you. If thugs want to attack you, they will stop them. They are the peacekeepers, there to ensure peace. It's great to have them around. They may be in uniform or they may not. In Bersih 1.0, they were in red. In Bersih 2.0, they were not because of the police crackdown, but they were there in the crowd nonetheless. Look carefully and you may spot them.
(I have heard about them and seen them in action, and I think they are commendable.)

I saw pictures of the barricade at Dataran Merdeka. They have put up RAZOR WIRE, a more dangerous version on barb wire. This will cut and slice anyone who falls into it and to pieces if they struggle. It will make great headline story all over the world if an unfortunate accident occurs.
ReplyDeletePlease anyone who is reading this Twitter to Ah Jib to say that he is responsible for putting up the Razor Wire.
