Ambiga: Growth of civil society not to blame for teen pranks

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 11 — The growth of civil society activism following Bersih 2.0's annual rallies may have inspired copycat gatherings nationwide but its co-chairman Datuk Ambiga Sreenavasan has disagreed that this could have spurred civil disobedience among the country's youths. The prominent former Bar Council president and civil society activist told The Malaysian Insider that gatherings like the Merdeka eve "Janji Demokrasi" should not be blamed for the controversial picture-stomping incident involving a group of teenagers. "We have been having more such gatherings around... not just Bersih... like the green movement, and so on. It is common and there is no wrong in it. "And for me, it is really how these things are handled by the authorities on the ground, and of course, the organisers," she said. Read more... Jarumemas: Kepala naga!!

The political trend is worrying — Lim Sue Goan

SEPT 11 — The disturbances triggered by the "Janji Demokrasi" rally have stimulated people to think and I hope that everyone has been inspired, or the political situation will deteriorate. Part-time model Ong Xin Yi and college student Muhammad Ammar A Rahman have indeed committed misconduct during the rally. Meanwhile, it is also facts that the police should not have handcuffed Ong when she surrendered herself and the police is having a double standard on law enforcement. What is actually causing young people to get lost, as well as a law enforcement agency to lose its professional standard? Both Ong and Muhammad Ammar are 19 years old. They said that they have no political background and had no intention of joining the rally. Ong said that she had no intention of committing sedition and had simply followed others who were doing the same. This is what we called a "trap" that lead members of the public to unconsciously commit wrongdoings during mass activities. Emotions run high under the atmosphere of which everyone is booing. If someone takes the lead and some others instigate, some people would just easily lose their rationality and follow what others do. Therefore, young people who participate in political rallies must always remind themselves of what they can do and what they cannot do. Read more...
