4'D's in Parliament today

Despair, disappointed, disgusted, disgraceful.

This is my feeling today in the Parliament House when hundreds of policemen, uniformed or unniformed surrounded the Parliament House and sealed off the area from members of the Coalition for Free and Fair Election (Bersih) from submitting a memo to the Speaker of the House to demand for the withdrawal of the Constitution amendment bill which if passed will extend the the Election Commission's Chief tenure to a new age-limit of 66-year-old.


I was driving for YB Lim Kit Siang and YB Chong Eng to Parliament as usual today at 945am and immediately when we were on Sprint Highway, we were stucked in the traffic jam, which was a heavy one.

My gut feeling told that it is another police roadblocks that caused all these, just like what they had done for the Bersih and Hindraf rally.

Once arriving at the Parliament house when I was about to enter the building, several hundreds of policemen and women were already on duty and they road were barricaded with barbed wire – Is the parliament a war zone?

I only learnt later that some unidentified Bersih members were arrested even before the event started. Some Bersih petitioners were also seen having press conference in the lobby.

My colleague Swee Kuan and I managed to produce some clips which recorded the whole incident.
