9th July 2011:Perfect Storm in the making?

A lot of uncertainties, unconfirmed and invalidated reports on pending arrest of Amibiga and certain other leaders of Bersih 2.0 leaders most probably under the draconian ISA or EO is bandied around, however Pakatan top level leaders are adamant that they would be there in Kuala Lumpur when the time comes tomorrow, Khairy Jamaluddin is also adamant that Pemuda will also be there (errr....what are they fighting/demonstrating for?) . Berahim Ali, on the other hand announced that PERKASA is abandoning the planned demo, however he said that its members will be loitering around in Kuala Lumpur for sightseeing (everybody else beside him knows that PERKASA would not be able to garner any kind of support from the rakyat)


Earlier the police obtained courts restraining order for 91 people (majority from Bersih 2.0) from being in the vicinity of Kuala Lumpur, but so far none of them have shown  any sign of obeying it. Police are moving in full force in cordoning the city, there was even reports saying that they have moved into and staying in a number of colleges in Universiti Malaya.The latest news is that Hishamuddin announced that instant permit will be given if the organizers are willing to have the gathering outside Kuala Lumpur.

Earlier it was also reported that a number of Umno politicians, including those in Cabinet, were upset by Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin’s decision to grant an audience to Bersih 2.0 chief Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan last Tuesday, arguing that it is outside his constitutional powers, however it was brushed aside by two well known law experts Tommy Thomas and Aziz Bari..On the King's seemingly independent move to meet Ambiga, Tommy reiterated that the King has the right to be kept informed concerning matters about the nation and  that Tuanku Mizan had acted constitutionally when he intervened..

It was echoed by Aziz Bari who added that the constitutional principle is simple and clear: The King is only under duty to act on the government’s advice when this is in line with both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution.King’s seemingly independent move to meet with Ambiga. 

I believe everybody is holding their breath, and wondering what is going to unwrap in the next 24 hours. I really hope and pray that no untoward incidents will take place, no life need to spared, no material lost sho be incurred and everybody will come to their senses, including the authorities,GOD have mercy and help us....please...ciao...a.h.baharom.
