Bandar Mahkota Cheres Residents vs Police - Video You Never See in TV

[xfile007]

More than 1,000 demonstrators were there at Bandar Mahkota Cheres.

Lim Lip Eng pulled the plug of a generator which the contractor used.

Then, one resident started to push down the barricade by hand, second person joined. Later, hundred joined in the force.

Police wanted to use water canon. Lim Lip Eng then stood in front of a water cannon to prevent the police from aiming it at the crowd. He was then assaulted by the policemen and residents rushed to his rescue but all were overpowered by the water canon. Ean Yong Hean Wah soldiered on to assist his peer.

At least two rounds of tear gas were then fired...

At the end of the video, you may hear this from a policeman, "mari jalan, tadi panggil balik tak mahu balik, tadi ingat sendiri taikor, sekarang apa macam?'"

After watching this "censored from the rest of Malaysia" video... can somebody tell me why are the cops (FRU) busy whacking the daylights out of residents instead of tackling crime...

Can anyone update us on what is happening? Only Malaysiakini is covering it. Some prominent bloggers have not even mentioned it. And Malaysiakini says that residents are complaining that the state govt is not getting involved and MB not visiting site.

Greetings.

Has the police lost their mind? They are supposed to protect us, the citizens. What are they doing beating citizens? This is wrong, nay, fundamentally wrong. Someone is going to pay for these misdeeds. There better be someone talking to us or the police is going to face the music by a massive reduction of public co-operation.

Ave!

[sinleong]

the selangor govt is doing all they can, as you can see ean yong and ronnie liu have been on site.

the land where the barricade is belongs to the selangor state. so the barricade is illegal. the state can take grand saga and the federal govt to court. But the problem is, the court and the police are controlled by the federal govt.

this is where you see the federal govt using the police to whack citizens when instead they should be arresting the grand saga people for building an illegal structure on state land.

I just wish that by September what Anwar claim will come true, and put these group of animal back to the zoo.

Don't get excited. Just take photos of the bullies and keep it for future evidence.

Such people operate in anonymity or secrecy, thinking they will not be recognized. There will be a day of reckoning. And it is not far away.

Dont you know
Theyre talkin bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Dont you know
Theyre talkin about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While theyre standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take whats theirs

Dont you know
You better run, run, run...
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run...

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin bout a revolution

[pywong]

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take whats theirs

Bob, no one owe us a living. We have to work for it.
We may help poor people out of a sense of compassion, not obligation.
It is better we get off this welfare mentality and pull our weight.

After trying their best and they still can't make it, a compassionate govt should give them a helping hand. The focus should be on helping people to help themselves.

You know the saying:
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.
Teach him how to fish, you feed him for life.

pywong: What you said it true, but only in some context. Like, in a Marxist Capitalistic society, proletariats lack the opportunity to break free from the vicious cycle. A friend of mine is a good example. I can't blame her. As though the system has cheated on her. Heartbreaking because we both have the same illness and live in neighbouring, prosperous cities. But her economic condition is a mess and she can't break free due to years of segregation and deprivation.

Bob: Tell poor Yvonne who sang that song and what is it about yeah?

By the way, this is not out of topic. I see the connection between what Bob, PYWONG, and I discussed, and this thread's topic. If citizens have more power, we won't be bullied by the government like this. Sigh.
