Bersih succeeds in submitting memo to King - Malaysiakini.tv
Reject demos and use polls, PM urges public - The Star
KUALA LUMPUR: The people should reject street demonstrations and effect any change through polls, said Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
The Prime Minister reiterated that today’s planned demonstration by the non-governmental organisation Bersih was illegal as it did not have a police permit.
Calling the organisers stubborn, he said: “I am disappointed. Are they trying to challenge the Government and leadership? But what they are actually challenging and casting aside is the law.
“People want the country to always be stable and peaceful and that is what they (Bersih) are challenging, not me.
“Saya pantang dicabar (I don’t take to being challenged),” he said yesterday in his winding-up speech.
The Umno president said street demonstration was not the Malaysian way.
