40,000 thumbs up for BERSIH

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,

know of no reason

Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up King and Parli'ment.

Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;

By God's providence he was catch'd

With a dark lantern and burning match.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
Guy Fawke's Day rhyme


Remember, remember the Tenth of November,
The Peoples' March and the colour Yellow,

know of no reason

Why the Peoples' March
Should ever be forgot.
Clean Voting, Clean Judiciary, t'was our intent
To clean Elections and Parli'ment.
Four thousand-scores of head held high
To prove old Malaysia's overthrow;

By God's providence the memorandum was sent
With an order and brave People.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

Malaysia's 10th of Nov rhyme

I think most of you are familiar with the movie, V for Vendetta, where he keeps saying this, "Remember, remember the 5th of November" Well.. the movie itself was based on a true historical incident. I wonder if anyone here in Malaysia will do something like that or better still commemorate the day when the People stood for what they believe. My visitors who believe otherwise, you are free to your own opinion but I beg you to reflect on what is going on right now not only in our lives as citizens of this "paradise" called Malaysia.

10th November, the day Malaysian stood side by side regardless of race and religion, uniting against a cause many hold close to their heart. Continue to do so regardless of the time. We need that. In fact, by being united and not segregated that we got our Independence and our "freedom"

I think a number of people will call me an online activist; talk only but no action. However, does action need to be seen in actual statistics in the current world?? The existence of so many a statistics, did it do the world any difference?? I'd say, statistics are just numbers!! What role does it play to bring peace to the nation?? I'd prefer educated people!!! I am not meaning the university educated folks but rather those who have attended the school of hard knocks. The school that educated us about the life. I think most of us have walked here with different results.
So, what result did you surface from?? Can you answer me??
