卫长指催泪烟或被风吹入医院













当时候，我朋友身在同善医院楼下避难，催泪弹就射在他面前，水泡射进来全部人都湿透了，那是亲身的体验... 请问卫长，你的良知去哪了？

如果这样的事实都还能被扭曲，我们的马来西亚究竟变成一个怎样的国家？？？？？？？

扬言马华也可号召十万人游行
细历指水炮照片或是角度问题

继首相纳吉扬言巫统有能力动员300万名党员上街后，马华总会长蔡细历今日也放话，马华可在任何时候号召5万甚至10万人游行。

他今日出席一个马华医药基金颁发医药援助金仪式后，在记者会上也声称，709净选盟集会并没有很多华人出席。

“马来西亚的华人有650万人，你告诉我走在街上的有多少华人？65万？还是只有65个？你是以什么标准来说大多数华人已经走上街？”

“如果你要马华搞的话，马华可以随时号召5万或甚至10万人，不是大问题！”

报告显示没射进医院

针对许多净选盟集会者在网络上发布照片与短片，显示镇暴队向同善医院与华人接生院发射水炮及催泪弹，蔡细历则认为，这些照片与短片可能因为角度问题，并没显示真正的情况。

“我要怎样去回应？我们是要靠报告的，要靠警方的调查和医院负责人的报告。根据（卫生部长）廖中莱告诉我，医院负责人的报告显示，警方没有向医院发射催泪弹，只有把催泪弹射在医院旁边的停车场，没有直接打进医院里面。”

“这些照片可能没有显示真正的画面，我们要看这些照片拍摄时的角度。可能拍摄者是在停车场拍照，而不是在医院大楼拍摄，但这个角度看起来却像是催泪弹射向医院大楼。”

捍卫医院董事局诚信

蔡细历表示，既然医院董事局已经公布调查结果，就应该相信院方的言论。

他强调，同善医院董事局成员全都是值得尊敬的商人，而同善医院是一家慈善医院，而非商业医院，因此院方的声明值得相信。

针对有人指警方闯入医院逮捕集会者，蔡细历说，所有人都知道，在街头示威中，没有人可对医院做任何事情。

“但是那天每个人都跑进医院。如果警方不做任何事，那么人们就会说警方失责，无法保护医院内的病人。”

“如果你的朋友或亲戚刚好在医院，而所有的示威者冲进医院，你的反应会是如何？”

结论来自院方的汇报

也是马华署理总会长的廖中莱也有出席记者会。他表示，本身昨日是聆听了医院董事局的汇报后，才指警方没向医院发射水炮及催泪弹。

他重申，根据院方的汇报，警方是向同善医院附近的停车场发射催泪弹，而不是向同善医院大厦发射。

他说，如果任何人有消息或照片，欢迎寄交给政府，以让政府调查。


全部都是走狗！

大家不要再骂部长了。其实都是我的错，是我不小心打了个打喷嚏，把催泪烟雾吹入医院的。pai seh-paiseh。

我明天找张天赐召开记者招待会，澄清一下，证明部长的推测是正确的！

[蓝天的思念]

非也！非也！
其实是印尼那里烧芭所产生的烟吹来马来西亚啦，不是什么FRU放的烟雾弹.......
所以，大家请不要冤枉英明的政客们哦！

Rantings by MM: My Bersih 2.0 experience

So I went.

I have to say that the night before I had many many misgivings, especially after reading about the army doing exercises with the FRU. Could the government seriously be contemplating shooting their own people? Who knows? My stomach was in knots thinking about the many young people I knew who were intent on going, including my daughter. Would I be able to forgive myself if something happened to them?
After seeking advice from various friends, I finally decided that I could not stay safely at home while my daughter, friends and colleagues faced possible danger. I had to walk with them. Besides even if I stayed home, I would have spent all my time worrying. So I had to go.

A friend who lived in the city offered to be my protector and together we devised a plan on what to do. Hubby was supportive and gave some advice on how to stay safe. My neighbours also wanted to come along. So fairly earlyish, my friend drove over to get me with no problem and we headed back into the city. Despite the roadblocks in some areas, we encountered no problems. In fact driving into KL was so pleasant because the roads were so clear. The police directed traffic where they had to and were generally cooperative ( except for one we saw arguing with a man trying to get into his own condo). We got to a roadblock in the KLCC area and my friend explained that he lived in the area and they let us through, four people in a car dressed as if we were going hiking!

From my friend’s apartment block, we walked to Times Square and parked ourselves at the Starbucks for a coffee while we waited. A cursory look around the outlet and mall revealed that many people were doing the same thing. Meanwhile a whole van of police was stationed outside the mall but after a while they all went off.

We kept in touch with various friends around the city to find out where they were and what the situation was. At about 12.30 we started to walk up Jalan Hang Tuah towards the stadium area. We were not in big groups, just people out on a weekend stroll. We thought we would encounter police in front of the big police headquarters in front of Pudu Jail but there was nothing. When we got to the corner of Jalan Hang Jebat, we saw some police motorcycles and only a couple of cops. Lots of people were just sitting on the curbside under the eye of the cops. It was pretty clear what all these people were there for.

We walked along Jalan Hang Jebat in front of Stadium Negara towards the OCM and found many other friends waiting there. Apparently at one point the cops had given chase even though there was no reason to and caught some people and hauled them off. But from then on we could sit and wait by the curb without anyone disturbing us.

Jalan Hang Jebat and the small road that led up to Stadium Merdeka stayed pretty quiet. Members of the Bar Council (who had to suffer wearing their suits in the heat just so that we could spot them easily) walked around observing what was happening. At one point one woman in a suit sat herself at the intersection to take notes.

We all debated whether to stay there or move down to Petaling Street but we were afraid that we wouldn’t be let back up again. Then it started to rain. My friend and I sought shelter under some hoarding along with young people. Just then I got a message that we were to go to KL Sentral. After confirming this with a friend at Sentral, my friends and I started to walk down Hang Jebat just as a large group of people started walking up. The rain was pouring at that point and I didn’t know quite what to do, whether to tell people they should turn round or not.

Seeking shelter for a while under a shop five-foot way, I talked to various other friends and eventually decided to head back to the stadium area where I found my daughter and lots of other friends there. The main group earlier had gone up to Stadium Merdeka, did some chanting in front of the FRU and then headed down again. But many people hung about just to observe everything and soak in the atmosphere. One group of young people had yellow ribbons on sticks and started a little dance. Others were buying ice cream from a bicycle vendor who came by. There was a real carnival atmosphere.

I have to say that I never felt safer than when I was in the crowd. People recognized me and said hello. Some wanted to take photos. It didn’t feel any different from any other Saturday out. And to be perfectly fair, the cops and FRU in my area showed admirable restraint. They saw that people were not doing anything more than chanting and nobody was harming anyone so they just stood there and left everyone to do their thing. We came across a whole FRU unit blocking a lane next to the Chinese temple at the roundabout at the bottom of Jalan Maharajalela, waved at them and they waved. Cool cops!

Of course not everyone had the same experience. Here’s an account from a colleague who was in a different street:
Unfortunately my experience wasn't so benign. I was part of the marchers (along with A and others) who were effectively kettled by the police in Jalan Pudu. FRU units to the front and back of us prevented us from leaving, and we were trapped by the walls of a construction site opposite Tung Shin Hospital after the FRUs pushed us back. It was probably the worst of the hotspots because of that: when the police started firing round after round of tear gas at us, we had nowhere to run to. I think they were determined to make an example out of us, because they bloody well tear-gassed and sprayed us with water cannons when they had no reason to do so.

We were all tear-gassed at least three, four times. An NGO staffer was hit by a canister. V told me that she saw people jumping off the second floor of the Puduraya bus terminal because the police had released tear gas too close to the terminal and the wind carried the fumes into the enclosed building. When the marchers ran for shelter in Tung Shin Hospital, the police fired tear gas and water cannons INTO the hospital grounds. Later the police lured us into re-assembling on the road on the pretext of negotiating a peaceful dispersal. They arrested the MP (Sivarasa) who was doing the negotiating, then -- after ordering us to sit down so (as we realised later) we would be sitting ducks -- they fired more tear gas and water cannons at us. A, myself and our companions eventually managed to find a way out from the trap via the Santo Antonius church and (irony of ironies) the car park of the Hang Tuah police station (near the monorail station). There were so many very brave people yesterday.

I now know that smearing toothpaste under the eyes to reduce irritation caused by tear gas actually works (thanks, A)! I'm still itchy and short of breath from all that tear gas, which is a bit annoying. But really, mostly what I remember of the rally was how moving it was: the solidarity among the protesters, how people looked out for one another. Whenever I was tear-gassed there was a stranger running along at my side and offering me and my friends salt to counteract the effects. When the police sprayed chemical-laced water cannons into the crowd and the people affected cried out for water to wash the stuff away, others turned and ran back toward the cannons with bottles of water to help. People helped others climb up a hill towards the hospital to escape (some guy helped me up the steep slope). Someone always stepped up to make sure that a panicked run doesn't turn into a stampede, including an elderly woman who took it upon herself to guide the marchers to safety. She's a first-time marcher to boot! Actually there were lots of first-time marchers, and more young middle-class urbanites than I've ever seen at any other rallies including the 2007 Bersih rally. At one point people started picking up the tear gas canisters and throwing them back at the police, or kicking the canisters safely away from the marchers and bystanders. I heard via the #bersihstories Twitter hashtag when the police fired tear gas into Tung Shin, there were people who grabbed the canisters and wrapped them in their own towels, then threw the canisters into the drain so there wouldn't be so much fumes.

And another one, about people’s goodness:
My group has a lovely little story to tell as well, of how we escaped from the Tung Shin hospital area after one of the tear gas attacks. We took a little alley uphill between the shophouses, and there was a block of flats there. One of the residents told us to go through the building to get out through the back! We climbed upstairs and then along the opposite corridor a woman shouted and pointed, "That way, go that way, there is an exit out the back!" and we scuttled along our corridor, down the back stairs and found ourselves safe outside on Changkat Tung Shin or something like that.

Rakyat all contributing in their own ways!

There are many stories and photos, both good and bad, of the whole event. But to me what was most important was that Malaysians proved two things: one, they can assemble together on a common cause peacefully and two, therefore showed that they are a mature people. The fact is that there were all kinds of people there, young and old, all races and religions and all classes and creeds. I bumped into many young people, the children of my friends, who had come to see what it was all about and decide for themselves what to think about the issue.

Whatever one thinks about the issue that Bersih is espousing, we should all be proud of our fellow Malaysians who did not, despite dire predictions by some, behave like hooligans and destroy property and hurt one another. There were people hurt and one death but people who had participated in the rally did not cause them. The restaurants and shops around the area were doing roaring business as people got thirsty and hungry.

There are also some people claiming that the world now has a bad impression of Malaysia because the foreign media (and the local media for that matter) reported only about the teargassing and water-cannoning. I think people are confusing the government with the people. Yes, the world now has a bad impression of the Malaysian government because it has handled this whole issue so badly. They don’t have the same impression of the Malaysians who stood up for their rights and their cause.

And by the way, I can’t believe some of the mean things being said about the man who died after being teargassed! My goodness, every time I read totally uncompassionate things like that, I know that I’m on the right side.

忆起一行禅师法教：
为寻找和平而走

作者／释妙赞
Jul 14, 2011

眼看709的迫近，心思翻腾。
身边的人问：“您会出席吗？”
“我很想！真的很想！可是……”

709早上9点，为一群大专生上弘法布教课，jian来电，我们无奈的叹息、泪流。

他问：“师父，那你为什么没有鼓励我去呢？”我说：“jian，参加709的人，应该不是被人鼓励而去的，这个行动是来自个人内心的思维、情感与承担，所以，谁能鼓励谁呢？”

放下电话，我向那群等待着的大孩子告假；决定进城了！
（是的，原来对jian说的那番话，是说给自己听的。）

临时邀约住在附近的yw与我同行，没想到她二话不说，马上答应。启程时，已接近十二点，我们开车到Asia Jaya,从哪里搭乘LRT到Pasar Seni。月台上，警察处处站。Yw冷笑说：“捉贼都不见他们那么勤劳。”

约一点，我和yw 在Pasar Seni对面的印度餐厅用午餐，才吃几口饭菜，便觉眼睛刺痛，很呛！心想：这空心菜没有蒜，怎么这么呛？店里有人快速拉下一道铁卷门，有人从对面跑过来，有人吆喝。听说，警察发射催泪弹了！

国民通知我前往苏丹街上海书局集合。抵达时，人头躜动，口号不绝。我们又被通知前进马来亚银行大厦。随着大队走走停停。有一位戴“宋谷”的pakcik来到我面前，笑眯眯地对我竖起大拇指，用马来口音很重的华语说：“你，加油！”

在马来亚银行大厦，其实什么都看不到，太多人了！忽然掌声雷动，一群包着脸的回教妇女缓缓加入队伍；口号更响，回头一看，从Pudu的方向涌进上千的人潮。BERSIH！BERSIH！此起彼落。然后国歌扬起，我的眼眶发热。很多年轻人“共襄盛举”，如阳光般清朗的脸容，让人看到了改变的力量与希望。

约半个小时，人潮向Pudu移动，据说要挺近默迪卡体育馆。我们沿着富都车站对面的商店骑楼慢慢走，忽然前方的人退回来，说有镇暴队挡着去路。一路陪着我的一位师兄带我和yw走回头路，走不远，我看见水炮射向人群，我们立即转身意欲避开。

没想到身后还发射了催泪弹！无法睁眼，很痛！很痛！我摸索着掏出水瓶，弄湿手帕擦眼、洗脸，脸有被灼伤的痛感。
不知不觉被带到一条后街，等待着……天空阴霾，我们又回到富都车站附近。群众中有人说：我们被包围了。师兄和yw护着我，登上一道阶梯，来到一间锡克庙前，警方好像又在发射催泪弹了，有人递来一把盐，我赶紧放进嘴里。

原本飘着细雨的天空落下滂沱大雨。那位师兄说：天也在帮我们！我嘴里含着咸到苦的盐巴，眼睛刺痛，脸皮灼热。凄风苦雨之情涌上心头：这个政府怎么让人民受苦了呢？

雨停了，我们正想返回富都车站，以便整队，忽然听到一阵吆喝，四、五个警察握着警棍追着，有人拼命的逃跑！我们本想退回锡克庙，另一些警察驱赶我们离开。

我看到有一位男子不知何故坐在地上，警察坐过去拉扯他。师兄或许对警察的粗暴行动不满，高声喊了一句：polis samseng!然后，就在我的右后方，我听到警察凶神恶煞的质问那位师兄（我不知道他是否有动粗），只听到那位师兄不断说；abang,jangan macam ni!

我的心跳莫名加速。那一瞬间，我忆起一行禅师的法教：“为了寻找和平而走。”默默地，我称念着观世音菩萨圣号，徐缓的踏出每一步……

群众不见了，三三两两的，都是在等着集结的人。我和国民联络，他说在同善医院等着，听说有一群人已去到默迪卡体育馆。令人鼓舞的消息。

我们沿着 Jalan Raja Chulan往阿罗街的方向走。走到某条大路，终于看到人潮，跟随指示前往klcc，队伍又见壮大，口号声不绝于耳。沿路许多星级大酒店、咖啡馆，许多游客对着游行队伍拍照、录影。

我想，本来在体育馆不就没事了吗？现在弄到全世界都有该国人民亲睹这场Bersih2.0大游行，决策者若在现场看到自己愚蠢的决定，会难过得撞墙吧！

此时，我的身体或许吸进了催泪弹的气体，有点悠忽。我和yw决定到了klcc 后便离队。抵达klcc 驻留片刻，了解进入体育馆已是不可能的事。我们在接近4时离开。后来在网络读到人群在klcc宣布解散时，警察开始逮捕解散的游行者……

写到这里，建议净选盟对政府说谢谢――

一、当安碧嘉接受元首的调解，同意改在体育馆集会时，净选盟即出现了两种声音。感谢纳吉的出尔反尔，迫大家走上街头，也帮安碧嘉化解了净选盟得内部纷争。

尤为可喜的是，最初的bersih2.0街头游行意愿竟然被政府成就了――所谓“人有善愿，天必从之”就是这样的吧！

二、游行队伍成千上万，对交通造成不便，总是过意不去，感谢警察拿起比捉贼还勇猛的“魄力”，障道封路；有警察的清场，游行队伍在不扰众下完成目标。道谢还真不过分。

三、本来所有的摄影、录影都可能被诬蔑是乱民伪造，如今被迫四处游走，全世界的游客有缘亲历其境，大拍其照，大录其影，不亦乐乎。政府名为封锁，实为开放，把ｂersih2.0推向全世界，贤明至极，不能不说谢谢啊！

牧师也上街！

http://www.merdekareview.com/news/n/19232.html

牧师为下一代走上街头

作者／陈牧师
Jul 14, 2011

我是一个牧师，不属任何政党，多年来关心社会一切不正常的事情。我在报纸发表文章三十年，当过专栏作者及特约评论员，抨击朝野不恰当的政策和做法并提供建设性心得。在写作的过程，报纸给我的言论空间越来越狭窄，结果近来就少写了！

关于709净选盟（BERSIH）2.0集会，我满心期待。之前我盘算如何参加，因为联邦政府和皇家警察作出了太多的吓唬行为及歪曲了资讯。当净选盟遵从元首的意愿顾及社会的秩序而愿意从街头游行改为默迪卡体育场集会，以为就是好消息可放心参加时，谁知政府和警方以净选盟为非法组织而拒绝集会。最后总警长呼吁它们改去莎亚南体育场举行。奇怪，既然是非法组织，为何又可以被允许在另一个球场举行呢？

净选盟选择默迪卡体育场举行乃基于那里有特殊的意义，即是于1957年东姑阿都拉曼就是在那里宣告马来亚独立的，他并且成为第一任首相。独立是说明自由，净选盟是为了争取公平和干净的选举制度而集会，同时将前往皇宫呈交给元首要求选举委员会改革的八个项目备忘录，所以默迪卡体育场是最适合不过的了！

既然不获得准许，即意味着人民将遇到阻碍了！连日来报纸和电台电视台的播报都是一面倒地讲封路、设路障、逮捕人、呼吁民众不要去集会等之类的信息。一般上马来西亚人民都很怕事情的，这类的信息肯定会达到某程度吓唬效果的。

当日期靠近时，政府进一步宣布708停止长途巴士进入富都车站（Puduraya）及在709当天停止公共巴士穿行吉隆坡市区。我两年前参加过反内安法令集会，对警方的行动有了经验。我预料709当天乘搭电动火车和轻快铁必会遇到突发的困难，果然真不出所料。因此我和另两个牧师一同于708到精武山附近过夜，惊喜遇到某宗派会督（Bishop）和他的助手牧师也同住在一起，也是将参加集会的。加上还有一群基督徒，我们并不孤独呢！

当晚买了一份《中国报》夜报，标题大大的说“见一个捉一个”，我们还是有血肉的，都有点害怕。

星期天早上八时三十分我还要在八打灵讲道，如果星期六吉隆坡被颁布紧急状态，或没公共交通回家，或我被逮捕了怎么办？目前马来西亚基督教教会对于勇敢讲话是少见的，若牧师被逮捕，教会领袖们和信徒们会赞赏你呢还是会责备你呢？那就由读者们去评定吧！几天前联邦后备队跟军队排练，到时他们会不会向人群开枪？几千个打马来武术的人也声称准备与集会者作斗，他们是否会故意滋事？啊，死就死吧！

我当晚特别早睡，或许是想麻醉自己的担忧。半夜还挣扎醒来一下子为集会祷告。星期六在床上打开眼睛看到阳光时，心中有一股出人意外的平安，恐惧感不再压制着我了，我知道上帝要在这国家做大事矣！

我们出去吃早餐，在苏丹街一带几条街，看到分散在各处稀稀落落的人群，大家都心照不宣，这些都是同道中人。我们回房间休息，观看电视现场报道，殊不知报道却变成让参加者获得不同地点资讯的好管道，掌握适当的策略行动。报道也说不少人在火车站被逮捕及不获得走出闸门的不幸消息。

我们居住的地方居高临下，下午一时看到人群喊着口号涌到苏丹街和茨厂街一带。我和一个牧师随即就下去与他们回合，而另一个牧师则更早下去失去了联络。我们的队伍冲不上汉都亚（Hnag Tuah）路，就转回头去马来亚银行大厦。在那里，每逢听到有鼓掌声，就是因为有一大群人冲过警察的突围，人群四面八方地涌过来，越来越多人。

我们这队好多人，看起来最少两万人吧？勇敢的就穿着黄衣，甚至净选盟黄衣，不然就用黄色气球、花朵、其他黄色东西代替。大多数没有穿黄衣乃不希望使命未成就先被逮捕！这里好像一个嘉年华一样，大家认识新朋友，不分种族，那么谁讲我们大家不是大马之子？谁讲我们不是和平集会？我们有西马三大种族和东马各种族。我欣喜看到有很多青少年，包括不少十多二十岁的少女们。青少年追求民主，马来西亚有救了！

我们原本是要集会而不是游行的，但因进不了体育场就只好在街集会。队伍渐渐往前走去富都车站，沿着富都路走。也不知谁作主，总之就是跟。心想可能要从半山巴旧监狱前绕道去体育场吧？谁知在武吉免登（Bukit Baintang）路前面的交通灯处不能“过红海”（联邦后备队红红的头盔犹如一片红海），摩西在哪里呢？红头兵提着莱福枪，天啊，我们手无寸铁，荷枪实弹所为何事？有警察驻守的地方犹如战场，吉隆坡市中心紧张的气氛乃是警方造成的。

不久我看到水炮卡车来到马来亚银行，以我以前的经验，很快警方就会发动水炮和催泪弹双管齐下攻击的，我就提醒我那身边头一次参加集会的牧师快跑。我相信在我们当中有许多是头一次的参加者，不防备警方会有什么急速行动，果然说时迟，那时快，水花到处扫射，砰！砰！砰！枪声后，许多人就困在烟雾中，眼泪鼻涕随即流出来，眼前一片像雾又像花的景象，中招者在迷蒙又睁不开眼情形下狼狈地摸索逃跑，而我俩虽离开警察和水炮车比较远也不幸免地鼻孔及眼睛皆中招。

大家就互相传递粗盐含着口，用湿毛巾抹眼。由于太多人使用手机的缘故，我们都很难接通电话。后来回房间才获知那失散的牧师很惨的遭遇，就是那时候他在马来亚银行处被喷到全身湿透，并且从口吸了一大口烟。我两年前与一堆人在端姑阿都拉曼路逃进商场，水炮也不放过我们直射而入，在私人场所我们也中招，跟着催泪弹的烟直冒入室内。所以我对这种滋味可与709受害者分享同情的感受。

约两点十分，天下起雨来，相当大，我俩认为“天助我们也”，因为雨将会把烟雾熄灭，因此警方也不再发催泪弹了！并且中了水炮者因着水含化学药而全身发痒的，也一拼被雨水冲干净。下雨时有人想离队避雨，但有声音喊“不要怕，不要跑掉”，大家就在雨下有站有坐的，这更壮大我们的奋斗意志！我们被卡在两组警察中间，整条富都路从马来亚银行到近武吉免登路口都挤着人群。

雨越下越大，等到最大雨的时候，水炮车，警察卡车和联邦后备队从武吉免登路口处直奔而下，人群即鸡飞狗走的，往最靠近的地方窜逃去避难。我俩逃入同善医院旁的小巷，然后谨慎地回去窥探，气氛太紧张了，警车走来走去。水炮和催泪弹发过了，甚至医院不能幸免当灾，接着警察到处追捕集会者。人群逃到同善医院和华人接生院范围，我们帮助他们逃出有铁丝网的围墙，他们在冒着跌下来的危险。我想，难道集会者是什么恐怖分子吗，是什么犯人吗？为何这样对待我们？

集会者都走向我们的小巷，有人就召集大家从小巷往咖啡山去。有些人掉队了，但还有一条长长的人龙，望不到尾，最少也有一万人吧？我们现在真的是游行了，原本这不在计划内，经过住宅区、安邦路，和拉惹朱兰路。哗，就这样经过许多五星级大酒店和商业大楼，吸引许多外国游客，职员和路过的人们在路边一边围观，一边拍照及录影，好不热闹！

这岂不是另一项“天助我们也”情形吗？那些围观者肯定就把消息外传，全世界都知道我们的诉求斗争了！这正所谓“有心栽花花不发，无心插柳柳成荫”也！群众一边走一边喊口号，如“Bersih Bersih, Pilihan Raya （干净干净大选）；Bangkit Rakyat （人民兴起来吧）”。此时，许多警察只是旁观，没有行动，或许不想让游客看到大马警察的负面形象吧？

最终，我们游行到吉隆坡国际会展中心（KLCC）广场，即双子大厦旁，当时已经是四点。大家坐下，几个领袖发表言论约20分钟。忽然警察分头追逐群众，大家都如惊弓之鸟逃命，不少人被逮捕了！这回人群都四散，也无意思再聚集，这队伍就正式解散了！哗，我们这队伍走了20公里了吧？并且还要走去很远的电动火车站和轻快铁站回家呢！

集会者都不晓得其他分散在不同地方集会者的情况，而是过后从各种管道获得资讯。各个地方的群众加起来，说有五万人并不夸张。还有被警方挡驾了进不来的人群呢？这些人士都必须算在里面。若非政府和警方千方百计地打压净选盟的集会的话，人数肯定很庞大。

我回到家已经是晚上九点了。洗澡后坐下来感到马来西亚的空气干净了许多。709大集合达到的成果就是它把许多马来西亚人的恐惧感消除掉。没参加的人民发觉在众多打压之下还有那么多人坚持集会，他们醒悟了。他们会更加积极维护宪法赋予人民的集会自由权利。

集会只是一个开始，真正的使命还在争取着。我们必须以公平和干净的选举来掌权，这样的胜利才值得自豪，那才是真正的民主。啊，现在我更觉得，进行民运很有意义，我尽了一份绵力给马来西亚之子们，我现在可以告诉我的下一代我关顾他们的前途，我为了他们而走上街头！

醫院是中立的

2011-07-15 09:04


11名醫生聯署，聲明709當天，警方聯邦後備隊向同善醫院發射催淚彈和水炮。
他們表明不願意捲入709大集會的紛爭，而只是要闡明真相。
同善醫院院方則否認如此。

不管真實情況如何，人們該向醫生們敬禮，也要向院方表達敬意。
那一天，醫生和院方盡了最大努力，保護病人和設施之外，也沒有關起大門，拒絕人群。
醫生是中立的，他們貫徹了醫務人員的天職。
醫院是中立的，醫院的大門永遠打開，人們和平的進去，平安的出來。
日內瓦公約規定，在任何情況之下，沒有任何理由，可以攻擊醫院；違反這項原則，就是罪行。
在以色列和巴勒斯坦的炮火中，只要一輛救傷車駛過，雙方即刻停止開火，直到救傷車開過為止。
以巴炮火相向，但是，目標絕對要遠離對方的醫院，避免造成破壞。

醫院中立和不可侵犯的原則，是在1861年的美國南北戰爭時期確立；之後的一次大戰和二次大戰，各國交戰再熾烈，也不得違反。
對醫院的尊重，就是對文明的尊重，即使再激烈的衝突，也不能傷害已經無力自保的生命。
很多被戰爭嚴重破壞的城市，建築物摧毀殆盡，一片光禿之中，卻還剩下醫院和教堂矗立，作為人道和生命的最後防線。

更何況，709當天，吉隆坡並沒有戰鬥；只是一群人在跑，另一群人在追。
當前邊那一群人跑進醫院，他們就必須遵守秩序，不能干擾醫院的運作；在這方面，同善醫院職員證實說，這群人行為良好，沒有妨礙醫院。
同樣的，後邊追趕的一群人逼近醫院，也必須遵守警察倫理，以及國際公約，不能干擾醫院。

如果他們向醫院發射催淚彈和水炮，就沒有開脫的理由。
一旦催淚彈的煙霧飄進病房，裡頭有哮喘病人，那隨時就會奪走人命。
要是滲了化學物的水炮濺到新生的嬰兒，也會造成永久的傷害。
醫院是保護生命的地方，不是傷害生命的場所；醫院是維護弱勢和危急群體的地方，不是危害他們的場所。

政府和警方必須徹查到底，讓真相曝光，如果屬實，犯錯者要受懲罰，如果不是，則是警惕。
