Blackout 505

To me the blackout 505 had died a natural death. The numbers of participants had dwindled from the first blackout. With the haze, nobody wants to expose themselves for long hours, save for a few hardcores who have camped themselves at Padang Merbok. I guessed these people have no real jobs or have they gone back to work since today is Monday?

Why did I say the blackout had failed? Well ..there is no follow through...For the blackout to be successful, they have to do it day and night 24/7. Everyone of them with no exception. This was not done. The leaders only come to give their speeches for an hour or two and then they go home. The followers come and listen that's all. Unlike Egypt ...the PR supporters have to go to work...to make money etc ..whereas the egyptians have valid reasons to fight the government, the PR supporters only fight the SPR for alleged misconduct in GE13. There is a vast difference there. The Egyptians are poor and the PR supporters are not. The Egyptians have every reasons to topple their government and the PR supporters do not. The Egyptians camped out facing all the elements and the PR supporters brought tents and face masks since they can't even sleep outside without some comforts. The Egyptians have to face tear gases, water canons and some brutality but the PR supporters don't. So after a while the gathering loses steam....a lot of steam since Anwar Ibrahim said there's no more gathering for the time being.

With all the 89 representatives taking oath today...they endorsed the SPR!!! Any Tom Dick and Harry can see through them. They are just like Tin Kosong, noisy but nothing else.
