One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man, ‘Why are you eating grass?’

‘We don’t have any money for food,’ the poor man replied. ‘We have to eat grass.’

‘Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I’ll feed you,’ the lawyer said.

‘But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree.’

‘Bring them along,’ the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, ‘You come with us, also.’

The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, ‘But, sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!’

‘Bring them all, as well,’ the lawyer answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was. Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, ‘Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.’

The lawyer replied, ‘Glad to do it. You’ll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high.’

I think someone should tell the FRU (Federal Reserve Unit) to order more teargas and chemical-laced water into their store as it seems Malaysians are getting bolder in bringing their grievances onto the streets. Just like the BERSIH gathering 2 weeks ago, the HINDRAF movement didn’t get any police permit for the much-publicised planned gathering to hand over a memorandum to the British High Commission yesterday but they went with it anyway.

Pak Lah really has his hands full now and with the general election to be held soon, it will be BN’s hardest and most difficult election yet.

I had mixed feelings watching the Al-Jazeera video, for sure the government cannot ask everyone to keep their opinions within their hearts and just voice it out during election. They should be honest to themselves that they cannot quell any dissatisfaction with teargases and water cannons. The last thing you want in this country is a group of discontented people bringing their “struggle” underground and start a terror campaign againts the public like the use of bombs (hey, if the police can smuggle explosives out and explode a person in the jungle, what more a terrorist can do?).

The government should give the public a free, open and unbiased channel to discuss things properly and without any intervention. Anyone remember the Inter Faith Commission that has been swept under the carpet?

Video after the jump.
