I had a chat over coffee with Ambiga last week.
In the course of our conversation, I asked her if, during the Walk
for Justice in September 2007 where about 3,000 others and I joined her
in Putrajaya to walk from the Palace of Justice to the PM’s department
to demand a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the VK Lingam video
scandal, she had for even a moment thought she would, 5 years on, lead a
quarter of a million citizens on the streets of Kuala Lumpur to demand
for free and fair elections?

Bersih runners 'infiltrate' Dataran Merdeka
All roads to Dataran Merdeka were cordoned off today, but it is not because of another Bersih rally.
Instead, the iconic square acted as the finish line for the annual Standard Chartered KL Marathon, thus had to be closed off to vehicles.
Nevertheless, the event still attracted its fair share of Bersih supporters who used it as a legitimate reasons to be in Dataran Merdeka and make a point.
Back in April 28, about 100,000 Bersih supporters had surrounded the venue, only to be pushed back by the tear gas and water cannon fire.
This time round, Bersih supporters could freely wear yellow bibs which read "I run for Bersih 2.0" and rush into the square.
