To friends, we usually say let bygones be bygones over trivial matter. To be able to live and let live is exemplary that portrays one’s sincerity to be able to walk a mile in the person’s shoes. However, to forgive and forget is not easy because people can forgive but they cannot forget what injustice had befallen upon them.
This is what it meant when the disregards for people’s right is ignored. People were drenched with chemical-laced water and tear gas to make them cry, not out of fear but of anger.
See for yourself when the crowd was dispersing, the intimidation crawled in and water canons shot at will. This was obvious at Jalan Raja Laut after the congregation to announce the end of the protest at PAS headquarters.
LRT station at Masjid Jamek was closed and the people were waiting for the green light to board it. The police took it as the people were regrouping. Pathetic!
Common sense could not get into their heads. The people were not foolish to regroup at that vicinity but wanting to go home. Other commuters who were not involved in the protest were grossly inconvenienced.
The FRU wanted to make their presences felt thus don’t blame the people when they were intimidated. If this was not a blatant show of might, then tell me what is it?
Judge for yourself if you will, whether I am unfair or have erred in my judgement. The video clips were taken with a degree of risk to get shot at by the water canon, let alone the corrosive chemical that could damage the video camera.
Why the risk then? Simple. To tell the truth!
Until the next thrills and spills, we will be back to coordinate the next live coverage. Take care and God bless!
