830


On 30.8.2015, my wife and I went to the clock tower at 10 am. There was a group of yellow shirted people there. Police allowed us 5 minutes and asked to disperse after that. All Bersih 4 T-shirts were asked to be turned inside out. I was wearing Bersih 3.0 and was asked to take off.  I argued that it is not Bersih 4 and the inspector didn't insist. We sang Negaraku and dispersed.  The inspector shook my hand and thanked me for being cooperative (did he think that I was the leader or I looked like the leader). He told me he didn't want to arrest anybody though order had been issued. He was friendly and smiling.

Then the crowd gathered again at 11 am and the police asked to disperse immediately. This time the inspector looked very serious. We again sang Negaraku but still hung around.  The policemen lined up at the road and police truck came. My wife and I left after the second warning.  I didn't know the police started arresting people until friends posted.

One police told a friend if he is not on duty, he would like to wear yellow too!
