Watching this video and reading my friend Temme’s account below of what happened last night at Dataran, the pattern is clearly emerging.

The first incidents we saw of – like when Nurul Izzah was attacked, ceramahs being disrupted violently – I thought were isolated. However, there’s almost no doubt left in my mind.

In 2008, BN was caught with their pants down. They likely did not expect any major electoral upset, and saw no need for ‘contingency’ preparations.

In GE13, it seems that the hardliners are clearly not going to give up power just like that.

I see these emerging acts of thuggery and violence as warm up exercises and attempts to instil fear into the population. Before too long, someone or other will start blabbering about May 13 again.

Will this scare us into voting for BN?

Only if we want to forever live in fear of thugs.

I say we draw the line here. This far, and no further.

If Khairy and his fellow ‘progressives’ want to retain any semblence of decency, they must condemn in the strongest terms any and all acts of these reprehensible acts. He should also demonstrate his control over the entirety of Umno Youth, and their ‘associates’.

Sick and tired of gangsters trying to run our country >:(
