"Using the
photographic blocking system, it has been determined that 22,270 people were at
the Bersih 3.0 rally on April 28. This is close to the British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC) estimated figure of 25,000 people but way off from
what Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had announced
to the rest of the world."
What is this penchant for
dwelling on the trees and missing out on the forest?
So what? What if merely 2,353 people turned up?
What about their message
of the need for electoral reforms? For the Authoritative Institutions to not be tainted
with hints (much less full stench) of partisanship?
What is so bloody wrong
with freer and fairer elections anyway?
All these statements would
be quite comic if not for the almost tragic connotations of their utterance.
Why is there a need to
whittle the numbers down? Just because Anwar says its 250,000 doesn’t mean it
is.
Everyone knows so.
BUT, if the turnout had really been 22, 270, then probably the Parliament would have
been dissolved by now.
Especially since the Umno
recently held 66th birthday (really? Umno Baru?) garnered like,
what, 150,000 attendees?
Being in a Stadium,
probably Bernama super duper masses calculation method via the “photographic
blocking system” would not be needed to cite the figure, correct?
So, what’s the hold up?
Doesn’t BN want the three
states back into their fold?
Doesn’t BN want to kick
LGE / KI / AAR out of office and save the down-trodden and sidelined Malays
from the clutches of the LGBT-loving and promoting PR?
After all, 22,270 is
barely 0.18 percent of the total number of voters in Malaysia (12,595,268,
isn’t it?)
You can say, Bah!!, snigger
away and say: Okay, let’s get a good margin mandate now.
And remember too, the
22,270 people are most probably from the Klang Valley, which means that their
votes would be in places like Jinjang, Kepong and Bukit Bintang anyway. Or
Klang and Gombak.
Again: Bah!!! Snigger and
holds the General Election.
22,270 is like the number
of people at a Pasar Malam.
