Be There Will You?


One person, one vote, no more, no less.


[D]emonstrate peacefully for true Democracy,
[E]mulate Gandhi, Mandela, Egypt and Tunisia,
[M]alaysia is our beloved homeland now and forever,
[O]ur founding fathers worked all races together,
[C]onstitutionally, every voice is guaranteed to be heard,
[R]oaring across Malaysia in the form of votes,
[A]rticulating the Rakyat's will and resolve,
[C]reating a Nation that will successfully evolve,
[Y]ou must attend the BERSIH rally in KL on 9th July 2011.
