There were 300,000 participants in Bersih 3, for each active participant there were 4 who wanted to make it but couldn't because of various reasons, including fear, and another 4 really passive supporters, the type that would say 'I support them but I am not going there," so all in all there are about 2.4 million supporters.
THE REPEATED MESSAGE WE GOT FROM PEOPLE AT THE RALLY WAS THIS, "I AM HERE BECAUSE I WANT FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS," A VERY CLEAR INDICATION THAT THE PEOPLE DO NOT TRUST THIS GOVERNMENT ANYMORE.
Mat Sabu sounds the call
Today Mat Sabu the deputy president of PAS has rightly called called for Bersih 4, this blog says yes!! let's get on with it fast let's up the ante, we caqn't let them steal this elections from us it is ours.
The Government controlled media
The Star as usual carried what the government wanted to say, they were in denial, complete denial, Mahathir the man who said this will never happen in Malaysia now realises he underestimated the Malaysian will, his senility is now showing in the statements about Bersih in the aftermath of Bersih 3, but he has not to wait for long as Bersih 4 is in the pipeline.
According to Sarawak Report Astro that has the rights to broadcast BBC is now being investigated by the BBC for doctoring one of its reports on Bersih 3.

Now if that is true, {click on the link above) soes it not tell us all we need to know about reports in the Government sponsored media?
A serious campaign to boycott targeted media has to begin and this should be on the agenda of Bersih 4, they tell us the unfettered truth or face the consequences of going bankrupt
Whilst Najib, his running dog Chua Soi Lek and his less than intelligent cousin Hishamuddin have stories to tell to push the blame, the alternative media have captured everything on video and still shots so let him show us what he's got and we'll show him what we've got, they are getting drowned in their own lies, and we the people have learned "to read between the lies."
To top that we have respectable foreigners third parties who were present on the scene, who will attest to what happened, what they saw as atrocious and what one referred to as "criminal assault of innocent citizens" what kind of a government and a police force do we have?
Instead of looking at the seriousness of the problem Najib is using the mass media controlled by the BN to fan more trouble, he will be held responsible for it, he should address the problems that have been highlighted in Bersih 2, he can't do a Mahahtir on the people by using illegal immigrants giving them identity cards and allowing them to vote, he has to ensure that the elections are free and fair elections, and take the senile Mahathir Mohammed out of the equation.
While Najib was eating his goreng pisang in Sarawak, sections fo the bersih 3 crowd were chanting Rosmah's name and demanding for accountability for the ring and other excesses.
These are signs, dangerous signs for Najib to take stock of immediately, it was the same with Maria Antoinette and Rosmah will be well advised to go read about Imelda Marcos too, it was the same, it is now happening on our soil and both Rosmah and Najib who are in the thick of it are indifferent, one by choice because it is in that individual's nature, and the other under total control of this other.
The corruptions, scandals, and now the plans to rig the ballot box has gone a bit too far, so far that we really can't have an election without the presence of foreign observers, that is very clear now the chief of the EC and his deputy have proven to be unfit for the position and must step down before any further changes take place, let alone the elections.
Mahathir Mohammed underestimated the power of the people, he knew we are peace loving people and he took full advantage when in office, (not that he is not there now, he is in the back-office) but when enough is enough the people will fight back.
They have had enough and they are fighting back, Saturday 28th April showed him just that, he can try all his tricks but the determination of the people only gets stronger by the day and by his own doing this government will fall even if he rigs the ballot box it will fall, because that is the will of the people and history has taught many a tyrant like him not to mess with the will of the people, he will have to pay the price and that will be the downfall of this government.
Notice like all other dictators Ferdianand Marcos - Mahahtir's good buddy, Suharto another close friend, Hosni Mubarak and all other so called leaders who fell to the will of the people this government led by their elder adviser Mahahtir Mohammed is in denial prior to its fall.
