True to form, our politicians and those with vested interests spew out nonsense about protests not being part of Malaysian culture. They say it’s a Western construct.

But historically, we got rid of the British through protests. Our New Economic Policy (NEP) was borne out of protests. And a few years ago, the protests organised by Bersih (The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections) led to a ground swell of change in our political landscape.

Younger Malaysians are especially vested in being vocal for their future.
