Besides that, from what I experience... police are also like part of the gangster, still I hardly imagine that we been told that the police will protect the defenceless citizen, but also will threaten the citizen as well....

Put it this way....i dont know what the "real deal" was for this gathering...what i see was still decent...but....there's a but here...if it was really something important....go ahead and do it like DSAI in a stadium....its still public....its big too....make it weekly...you go around in public streets is really not the best ways to do it....there's a malay saying...hendak seribu daya...tak hendak seribu dalih...so i'm sure...there are other means and ways to potray the same msg to the public..
