BERSIH 3.0 [28-4-2012]

Have you ever seen something as majestic as an entire nation, uniting for a common cause? Glimpses of this were seen last Saturday, 28th April 2012 during the BERSIH 3.0 Rally which started from Central Market in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

BERSIH, which means 'Clean' translated from the local Malay language is a play on words, with regards to the Movement's intentions towards the Electoral Commission (EC). There has long been allegations regarding shady practices by the EC (which is elected by the Executive arm of the country, the Ruling Government). It has been claimed that these dodgy practices have sustained a prolonged rule by the existing Government and the situation is getting worse.

In response to this, the voices of the People,or 'Rakyat' have banded together in the form of the BERSIH Movement to encourage and lobby for a fair and transparent Electoral System along with the requisite accountability. BERSIH 3.0 is the third such edition of this show of the People's Voice but changes have yet to be implemented.

The fight for a fair and just electoral system continues...
