In the meantime, BN has once again misused its governmental influence to blacklist people involved with Bersih from speaking to the media. Eli is the latest victim - read about it here in this Malaysiakini report, about the only place you'll hear about it, since most other media outlets are BN owned and controlled.

But be careful - there are forces of agent provocateurs out there who will stop at nothing to ensure that violent action like Batu Burok will once again happen. Susan Loone has posted some thoughts and advice...

Yours is a march of righteousness, against a quasi-dictatorship cleverly disguised as a "guided democracy"... that cares more about staying on in power, than the wants and needs of the people... one that will stop at nothing to retain leadership. May God bless those who walk today, and may He give them strength to stand up for what they believe in... a means for the true voice of the people to be properly heard, via a free and fair electoral process, and not botched up lip-syncing of what BN wants you to believe.

And now, a word from Bob...
