Day of 428 当天


We attended a Mass in the morning of 428.

We offered ourselves, our intentions and 428 to the Lord. We prayed for a peaceful and successful day.

At 10:30 am, we left for Sultan, one of the designated assembly points.

The Policemen along the roads to Jln Sultan were friendly and smiling, signifying a good day ahead.

Jln Sultan was packed with protesters as early as 9 am. It was a carnival-like atmosphere ... people shouting, singing and chatting... peaceful and orderly.

We started our march towards Dataran Merdeka at about 12 noon. The more than 15,000 strong crowd advancing slowly, orderly and peacefully.

It was a hot and sunny day but the emotion and spirit of the crowd was even hotter!

At 1:20pm, we reached police check point at Jln Hang Lekiu, in front of Malaysia Bar Council building. We were merely 200 meters away from Dataran Merdeka, our destination.

The crowd sat down, singing and shouting but very orderly and peaceful.

I later joined the crowd from Pasar Seni, another assembly point, at Lebuh Ampang. They were not be able to proceed further towards Datarn Merdeka also due to Police road block. They sat down,singing and chanting ... yet peaceful and orderly.

At about 2:30, crowd started to disperse due to no progress.

In fact I was walking towards Jln Pudu, SMS my daughter and nephew to meet me at our "safe location".

Suddenly, I saw water shooting from the direction of Bar Council Building where our group was there an hour ago.

I turned and walked back towards Lebuh Ampang, where Pasir Seni group was.

Then eyes started tearing .... must be the teargas floating in the air...

We quickened our pace to disperse .... we heard more "pong...". the firing of teargas towards our direction.

Unbelievably, teargas still flying at us, the dispersing crowd... the beastly Police wanted to kill us !

I put on my mask, wet my small towel. As the smoke got thicker, many people started coughing.

I opened a packet of salt, put some in my mouth, and also shared with those besides me.

Luckily no stampede. The crowd did not panic but remained calm in dispersing although many are tearing and coughing badly.

Excessive forces were used on peaceful and orderly assembly.

It was a successful 428 sit in protest rally. People has spoken.

The water cannon, teargas and violence from the police would make people more resolute:

1. Barisan government is a barbaric, inhuman regime. It uses teargas and water cannon freely to attack (and kill) its own people.
2. Malaysian police is a violent force that need not be accounted for its action. Policemen on riot control are animals.
3. Malaysians are more united and resolute in changing this government.

Whoever support this government are perpetrators of crime against own fellow citizens.

428当天早上,我们参加了一台弥撒。

我们把个人,意向及428奉献到主的手中。我们祈求平安,和平及成功的一天。

早上十点半,我们从住宿处出发,到苏丹街集合。苏丹是吉隆坡428许多集合地点的其中一处。

路上遇见许多警察,他们都很友善,脸露笑容,象征美好一天的开始。

苏丹街在早上九点就人潮出现了。人群在叫喊,唱歌及谈天,充满大日子的气氛。

中午十二时,各路人马齐集后,人群开始向独立广场前进。

超过一万五的人潮,非常和平及有秩序的漫步,有时坐下,有时站立 。。。缓慢的往目的地前进。

这是艳阳高照,炎热的一天,但人群的热情,更是热得膨胀!

下午一点二十分左右,我们抵达了律师公会大厦,被警方设立的路障挡住,不能再前进(除非硬闯)。我们离开独立广场,只有二百米之遥而已。

大家席地而坐,唱歌,喊叫,但仍然是和平及有秩序。

过后,我到附近另一个地点(安邦路),参加来自中央艺术坊的群众。中央艺术坊是另一个集合点。

他们人数也如我们一样,超过一万五千人,也是非常的有秩序及和平。

前面的警方路障,也阻碍了他们的前进。大家坐下,或站,或唱歌,喊叫 。。。秩序井然。

在大约两点三十分左右,因为停滞不前,有些群众开始疏散。。我自己本身已经开始离开,也用短讯通知一起出席的女儿及外甥,回到我们的住宿处集合。

突然间,我见到水炮在律师公会大厦的方向射出,人群在喧哗。。。

我往回头走,到回安邦路,去看个究竟。。

接着,我的眼睛开始觉得刺痛,知道是来自空气中的催泪弹烟雾。。。

接着,听到数声”砰。砰“。。。 更多催泪弹的发射。

真的不可思议,无人性的警方,继续向解散的人群发射催泪弹,简直就是要干净杀绝!

人群加快脚步逃跑,但幸运的,大家都很镇定,避免了互相践踏,虽然许多人已经泪如雨下,大声的在咳嗽 。。。不然后果是不堪设想。

我把面具戴上,倒水弄湿小毛巾来抹眼睛,再拿出带来的粗盐,放一些进嘴里,同时也分派给身边没有带盐同胞。

警方使用过度的暴力驱散和平示威的人群。

不过,这是一个成功的428 ,人民已经表达了他们的心声!

每个人带着感恩,欣慰及满足的心情,结束了这项历史性的和平抗议, 但心中已经坚决的领悟:

1.这个政府简直就是野兽(畜生),没有人性。它很随意及轻易的使用射水车,催泪弹来对付(谋杀)它的子民。
2. 马来西亚警察部队是个充满暴力的部队。那些执行群众管理的人员,犹如野兽。
3.马来西亚子民更加的团结,也更加的决心反对这个洪水野兽政府。

支持这个无人性政府的人,就是对自己同袍伤害罪恶的帮凶。
