Bersih 4.0

I'm going to say it straight up.

I'm scared.

I'm scared of what may happen. I'm scared of possible violence. I'm scared of getting pushed into a corner. I'm scared most of all, at the possibility that this is all for naught.

Will the rally change anything? I don't know. There's only a very slim chance that it would. But I feel I need to be there. I need to be there, not to support the Opposition, not to add the experience to my collection of "fun things to do", not even to topple the government (whatever that means).

I'm doing it because I believe I'm standing in solidarity with those who are advocating for a better Malaysia, for a better tomorrow, for justice and peace in my tanah airku.


Lord, I'm scared. But I know that Your justice and righteousness and sovereignty reign over Malaysia.
