PAS leader Mohamad Sabu (4th from left) taking part in the Janji Bersih demonstration, on the night of Merdeka Day, 2012.
Mohamad Sabu or Mat Sabu said that Pakatan Rakyat is going to organise ‘Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat’, to demand the government to comply all the demands made by Bersih, at the Stadium Bukit Jalil on November 3, 2012.
But PR leaders said that they had nothing to do with Bersih.
So, another demonstration by PR?
The opposition parties really love to organise anti government demonstrations.
How many more demonstrations do they plan to make and who will join them?
PAS, PKR and DAP supporters, I guess …
But, if ‘Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat’ is going to be held on November 3, some Muslims will still be in Makkah or Madinah for Hajj.
What will PAS other leaders say about it?
PAS made a huge issue accusing the Prime Minister for making a plan to conduct the 13th General Election during the Hajj season so that PAS members who go for Hajj will not be able to vote.
PAS leaders condemned the PM when actually they were the ones who made the guess of when the 13GE will be held!
So now, are they not Islamic as they accused the PM or are they telling their members not to go for Hajj or are they being unfair to their members for organising such a huge event when some of their members are away?
PAS should dakwah their members to go for Hajj and not to take part in demonstrations.
Bersih 4 or Janji Bersih or Janji Demokrasi was over but a lot of people are still angry about the bad things they did.
And I am also angry especially about the Sang Saka Malaya issue that I think is dishonouring our country and the real independence fighters.
Sang Saka Malaya
When I first read the news about some demonstratorswaving weird flags and distributing flyerssaying that Jalur Gemilang must go and the weird flag should become the new flag of Malaysia, I was angry.
I felt that the actions were rude and unpatriotic and suspected that they want to turn Malaysia into a republic nation like Indonesia and Singapore.
This flyer was distributed at the Janji Bersih demonstration.
I love Jalur Gemilang and I love my country and I am angry when people do not respect the laws.
I keep on asking why must the demonstrators were so rude and what was so special about the weird flag to them?
Jalur Gemilang is very beautiful indeed, with pretty red and white stripes, beautiful crescent and star and with all the primary colours that describes the important facts about Malaysia.
The crescent represents Islam, the religion of the country, the 14 strips represents the 13 states and the federal government and the 14 points of the star represent their unity.
Blue symbolizes the unity of the Malaysian people; the yellow of the star and crescent is the royal colour of our royal rulers.
Historian Prof. Ramlah Adam said that Sang Saka was the flag of the Kesatuan Melayu Muda (KMM) or Young Malays Union whose agenda was to join Malaysia and Republic Indonesia and turn Malaysia into a republic nation just like Indonesia.
After understanding the real facts, I feel even more angry; especially when PR leaders lied and claimed that Sang Saka Malaya was waved to honour the independence fighters and that the flag was a historical flag and a symbol of the fights for our independence.
Our real independence fighters are the fighters who supported the sultans as our rulers and not those who wanted to turn Malaysia into a republic nation!
So do the people who claim that Sang Saka Malaya is a symbol of the fights for our independence share the same dream with those people who tried to turn Malaysia into a republic nation?
My photo with Uncle Rameli Musa (R) and his wife at Uncle Kamaruddin’s house.
I ate very tasty roti jala with curry and my parents said that the nasi dagang Terengganu that was cooked by Uncle Kamaruddin’s daughter, Kak Sumayyah was very, very, very good.
We have to understand that there are things that we could change but there are things we should not.
The Americans do not change their flag every time the Democrats or Republicans wins the election; and people of the United Kingdom do not change their Union Jack even if who ever wins the election.
I think that Uncle Kamaruddin is a very good and wise man who loves his country.
I asked him if he will become a candidate in the 13th General Election, he teased me saying that he will if I want him to do so 🙂
Next I went to Uncle Mohd Annuar Salleh’s son’s wedding at Dewan Perdana Keramat.
I (L) and Uncle Mohd Annuar Salleh (R).
I only ate two slices of sweet water melon because I was too full after eating lots of delicious food at Uncle Kamaruddin’s house.

When I met Uncle Naser Disa who is a lawyer on Friday, I asked him if it is okay to put up a new flag and suggesting the idea to change the Malaysian flag during our Merdeka celebration?
He answered that the action is wrong and those people should not do it if they respect the law and love our country.
He also said that it is not a good idea to change our flag.
And when I asked him if ‘disrespecting the flag’ is a humiliation to the country, he said,’Yes’.
On Sunday when I went to Uncle Kamaruddin Mohd. Nor’s house, I asked him if it is all right to change our flag.

Last night at the ‘Janji Demokrasi’ or ‘Janji Bersih’ or ‘Bersih 4.0’ demonstration, the demonstrators were holding up new flags as reported by Agenda Daily.
That is surely not a Malaysian flag!
So, why are they displaying the flags?
The article asks for an explanation about the flags.
