Peaceful demostrators got hit
May 29, 2006 in Free speech
Anyone read about news about yet another protest at KLCC? I guess not. Malaysia with towering skyscrapers, nice shopping centers, friendly people but with a restricted mass media. Before I know about MalaysiaKini, my only digest are newspapers and TV. But sadly, they only show what they are “allowed” to show.
This photo was taken by DEMA of a man… a man with a bloody head injury. That’s not even the main messege which is being potrait by this photo. How can anyone be injured in a peaceful demostration? A group of people with no weapons or intention to cause damage, they just want to voice out their opinion.
“I was alone (when the FRU charged) and was very scared,” said Mohd Zafran, whose father Amran Zulkifli was hospitalised after being repeatedly clubbed by the police. - MalaysiaKini
Forget about paying RM1.20 for The Star newspaper, subscribe to MalaysiaKini for RM15 a month and save more when you go for the annual subscription. I am not getting paid or anything…I just want people of our generation to understand our country more and to know the truth.
Thank god for “The Internet”, as more and more people start surfing the web, the easier for them to access uncensored news. On the other hand, fanatic propaganda can be transmitted this way as well. We should always listen to both side of the story and please use at least 5% of your brain when making a judgement.
