Don't let our mainstream media fool us. I have seen a few times on our national television channels, video clips (edited to suit BN's propaganda), portraying Bersih 2.0 as Kotor, accusing them as the cause of chaos during their peaceful demonstrations.
"The Bersih 2.0 movement does not want to cause an Arab Spring in Malaysia, Datuk Ambiga Sreenavasan told CNN in a rare interview on international television aired here this morning.
She stressed that the election watchdog group she heads only wants a clean polls process to ensure a democratically-elected government.
Ambiga told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour during the New York interview that Bersih 2.0 is not opposed to the possibility of the present government returning to power after the next polls, provided that its leaders are elected fairly..."
'But asked if she was afraid, Ambiga told Amanpour that she had little choice in the matter.
“I mean, the choices are this: you either give into the intimidation, which means you undermine the whole movement, or you stand up to it.”...'
