Man, did RPK kick ass at the ceramah at Sembilang last night!
I think what must have really pissed him off was when he was told by one of the ceramah organisers that technically he could not speak as he was not covered by the police permit issued for the ceramah.
He reminded the crowd of about 2,000-2,500 ( and the police ) that his grandfather, Raja Sir Tun Uda, was once the governor of Penang.
“This is my grandfather’s state”, he roared to the loud approval of the crowd.
He reminded the crowd that we would not have achieved independence from the British if the UMNO leaders were not allowed to travel the length and breadth of the country to spread the spirit and message of ‘Merdeka’.
“The Constitution guarantees us the right of speech and expression”.
No concerns of a lack of a permit was going to stop this anak Bangsa Malaysia tonight.
“Is this the government that we now have after we got rid of the British? If so, I would rather have the British back”.
RPK was on fire.
He reminded the crowd that this was not a by-election to enable them to choose a representative in Parliament.
“26 million Malaysians have placed the solemn responsibility on 58,000 registered voters of Permatang Pauh to save this country from total ruin. You will decide if after 26th August, we will be sending a new Prime Minister to Putrajaya. You will decide if after 26th August, we are one step away from a new Pakatan Rakyat federal government, or whether future generations must continue to suffer under the BN rule. “
“You, the voters of Permatang Pauh, have the power to send BN into the Indian Ocean on the other side of Penang. Send UMNO, MCA, Gerakan, MIC, PPP and all the BN components to hell!”
The crowd loved him.
Before I leave you with a pictorial of RPK interacting with the crowd at Sembilang, I ask you to note this poster displayed at the same ceramah and ask you to ponder on this question :
Until these men and more than 70 others are freed from Kamunting, can we in all good conscience find a reason to celebrate Merdeka this 31st August?
