Hello readers!! :D Didn't know what picture to put so I put one of myself. Ahem, excuses for vanity. ANYWAY.
Who opens up a burger stall in front of someone else's home and violates their privacy to 'punish' them??
UMNO/BN rookies of course.
There were multiple reports on various sites talking about IKHLAS opening up a burger stall in front of Datuk Ambiga's house. These petty traders complain of unrealistically HUGE losses they suffered because of the Bersih- 'the clean and fair elections protest' on the 28th of April. The traders gathered outside Datuk Ambiga's house (some dressed in Barisan National uniforms) for the burger protest. They even offered Ambiga some burgers although they know she is vegetarian. They also hung a burger on her gate, which was later removed by her bodyguard.
Is it even reasonable in the first place?? They say that because of the Bersih rally, they had to shut down their stalls for A DAY. The amount they want to claim back for compensation?? 200, 000 Malaysian dollars.
They say that their losses in A SINGLE DAY amounted up to 200 000 dollars?? They've got to be kidding. The best part of all this, is that our dear Malaysian police that fired tear gas and pepper-laced water from high pressured water cannons into the Bersih rally-goers are not doing anything about this pandemonium outside Datuk Ambiga's house.
Is that even fair??
1. How offensive!! The traders obviously knew that Datuk Ambiga is a vegetarian. Do they want to provoke the very staunch members of PETA who are vegetarians as well?? :)
2. Who on earth is THAT stupid to close down food stalls on a day that is going to be exploding with a multitude of people?? They either are (a) plain stupid or (b) government cronies who are obviously idiots as well or (c) just too stupid to not understand how a business works. Don't we all know that, when an opportunity arises, grab it?? I mean, the Bersih rally was a GOLDEN opportunity. The streets were filled with throngs of people. And people obviously get hungry AND thirsty after walking, sweating etc.
3. The location of the protest. This is absolute irrelevance. They held the 'burger protest' directly outside Datuk Ambiga's house. That is a blatant invasion of one's privacy. It can also be viewed as a security threat as Datuk Ambiga cannot leave her house without any harassment. She's a lawyer. I bet she could sue all of them in the blink of an eye for violation, distress, criminal/malicious intent and of course, damage to property, and criminal threat. These people should understand that Datuk Ambiga has a family and to cause her THAT amount of distress is just not a very reasonable thing to do, especially when donning government uniforms.
4. They are angry and rioting over the fact that Datuk Ambiga has international backup, BECAUSE she is a lawyer. I think their basis of argument is very invalid and in a debate, it is considered a clash or an overlapping of points where one side does not see the other side's point of view (pov).
Datuk Ambiga's point of hosting Bersih was for clean, fair and reformed elections. These petty traders who are obviously government cronies (let's call them GC*), obviously do not see her point and now they want to dive into this already blown up pandemonium with a DIFFERENT DIMENSION altogether and say that because of Bersih, they incurred a huge loss. Now that doesn't make sense. As I stated in number 2 above. What does Ambiga's international backup have to do with a loss they've incurred?? You see?? Any reasonable sense in the matter??
Another basis of their argument is that Ambiga's rally was illegal. Aren't they doing the EXACT same thing, except that it's worse?? Bersih did not invade any privacy. In this burger protest, the residents of Jalan Setiakasih are affected as there are a throng of people there, reporters too of course. Unwanted attention. The president of IKHLAS has been recorded stating that he hopes she feels the effect of their protest if ever the residents face any difficulties/emergencies. Isn't that malicious intent?? Aren't the law enforcers supposed to be doing something about it??
The president of IKHLAS (a stupid, confused brain damaged idiot who lacks intellect) said that he and his GC*s wouldn't hesitate to block the whole street with their stalls in order to get back the money they lost on the 28th of May. Isn't that a threat in itself?? They're blackmailing Ambiga to compensate the loss that isn't even in existence. He argues and tells the media that all traders should not vote for the opposition in the upcoming elections!! GC* much?? Bersih lasted for a day and these idiots plan to block the whole of Ambiga's residential area for up to 2 weeks if she does not pay back the sum of the loss they incurred.
It's just plain nonsense. Illogical and unreasonable. And the law enforcers should do something about it. Not just sit back and enjoy the whole commotion.
Long live, Ambiga.
