Today, April the 28th, 2012, is an important day in the history of Malaysia where every single Malaysian who wants a fair electoral system; to go on the street for a rally to show his/her concern for the future of Malaysia. The whole world is watching.
At 1:46 p.m., I arrived at the venue for the sit-in rally in Kuching, which is the Old Court House, or some call it Tourism Complex. I saw some policemen around but they neither disturbed the protesters nor disrupted the whole proceedings. Kudos to the civilised police force in Kuching! Unlike their counterparts in Kuala Lumpur who used water cannons to shoot water with harmful chemical at the crowd. They even cast tear gas there! I think the rakyat do not deserve these as these are weapons to be used on criminals and terrorists only.

Before the rally officially started at 2 p.m., the crowd was very well-behaved. I saw people passing drinks on to one and another with a smile. It was just like a carnival.
At around 2 p.m., the group who started marching from Hilton Kuching arrived at the venue and that was when the crowd got excited all over.
The emcee did a very good job by keeping everybody calm and everything in order. He even reminded everybody to not leave any rubbish behind at the end of the rally as to keep the place "bersih".
Some of the people there prepared their own posters, all requesting for fair electoral system and anti-corruption.
Today's rally was truly a 1-Malaysia event. People of all ages and all races joined in to show their concern for a free and fair election.
There were people who are fully armed with photography equipment running up and down in the rally, and there were people who are happy shooting with only smart phones.
The rally ended at 3:35 p.m. and there was no rubbish left behind. It was really "bersih".
