However much he suffered in the Malayan jungle, Freddie Spencer Chapman attributed his survival to the basic rule that “the jungle is neutral”. By this description he meant that one should view the surroundings as neither good or bad but neutral. The role of a survivalist is to expect nothing and accept the dangers and bounties of the jungle as of a natural course. Hence, one’s steady state of mind was of the utmost importance to ensure that the physical health of body and the will to live were reinforced on a daily basis.

The Bersih 2.0 rally may have made up Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s mind on when to call for an election. The election may be called later than sooner because Najib hopes that by then people may have “forgotten this ugly” incident. ……..read more

Lyrics: sing along pink lips…cos you too never forget..wakakakakk
I look back to the past
The struggle, the streets
Memories of a time
In the back of my mind
Now, years later we’re still having fun
Keeping it true
United as one
We won’t forget
In our hearts, in our minds
It’s still alive
Our music, our lyrics
The truth survives
No egos, no rock stars allowed in here
Check yourself
Are you for real?
We won’t forget

Suppression of democratic voices would never survive long in any society. Sooner or later, it’s the people’s power that will determine who should lead the masses. People are now awakening from their slumber and they are now demanding for a government that is competent, transparent and accountable. Politicians should not stay in power forever using an assortment of feudalistic tools to rip-off the people.

The present populace of the country, fortunately, are becoming more enlightened and they are demanding for a better system of governance for the country – a clean government devoid of rampant corruption, fraud and injustice……read more.

In Malaysia, yellow is peoples’ power.

Lyrics:
I’m comin’ home, I’ve done my time,
Now I’ve got to know what is and isn’t mine,
If you received my letter,
Tellin’ you I’d soon be free,
Then you’ll know just what to do,
If you still want me . . .

If you still want me . . .

Tie a yellow ribbon ’round the ole oak tree,
It’s been three long years,
Do you still want me ? ( still want me ? )
If I don’t see a ribbon ’round the ole oak tree,
I’ll stay on the bus, forget about us,
Put the blame on me . . .

If I don’t see a yellow ribbon around the ole oak tree . . .

Bus driver please look for me,
‘Cause I couldn’t bear to see what I might see,
I’m really still in prison,
And my love, she holds the key,
Simple yella ribbon’s, what I need to set me free . . .

I wrote and told her please . . .

Tie a yellow ribbon ’round the ole oak tree,
It’s been three long years,
Do you still want me ? ( still want me ? )
If I don’t see a ribbon ’round the ole oak tree,
I’ll stay on the bus, forget about us,
Put the blame on me . . .

If I don’t see a yellow ribbon ’round the ole oak tree . . .

Tie a yellow ribbon ’round the ole oak tree,
. . . three long years,
. . . still want me ?
And now the whole damn bus is cheerin’
And I can’t believe I see . . .

A hundred yellow ribbons ’round the ole . . .
The ole oak tree!

Tie a ribbon ’round the ole oak tree,
Tie a ribbon ’round the ole oak tree,
Tie a ribbon ’round the ole oak tree . . .

We have been moved by the continuing expression of positive experiences on the 9th of July, especially the #BersihStories on Twitter. The great solidarity and love for one another, across racial boundaries, that Malaysians have shown in the face of great adversity affirms that our shared desire for a better Malaysia burns brightly in all our hearts.

Our commitment to electoral reform must and will reflect the great bravery and unity demonstrated on the 9th of July, and the spirit we witnessed will continue to be our inspiration.”…..click here to read the full text in Malaysia Chronicle.
