How Do You Decide

It is the latest news that even claimed attention there in London... A video clip somewhere in the city, the central part being redly encircled... Drawing attention to the running digital display of a statement... Of an Opposition leader to be imprisoned after a court judgement... In a followup video received, we have the same politician in the flesh... Fully coated, smiling wryly, face sombre and eyes rather distressed.. He spoke calmly and elaborated clearly the circumtances... That has brought him into the present situation of being handed a jail sentence... His was a call to arms of sorts from one brave politician... Sounds like he is an unique one in a million... Someone like Lim Kit Siang or the famous Karpal Singh... History will vouch for their persistent and righteous stand... Going headlong and butting the establishment... When in truth they could choose to be in the pro government camp... And be honored right up to Tan Sris or any other honorary titles... And if Malaysian history is to fairly chronicled... Men like these are men highly principled... Here for their brethen, the community and the nation... But their titanic and drawn out struggle for basic principles.. Is enspoused clearly in Bersih 5 and its objectives... Listen friends, and do listen well, replay again if you must... Think and decide, evaluate and then take sides... For we can choose to be right, or we can take flight... Now we are still free to be spoilt for choice... Listen and decide, will you stand by your decisive choice...???
