Ambiga and the BERSIH 2.0 steering committee deserve a standing ovation!

All freedom and justice loving Malaysians owe Ambiga Sreenevasan and the BERSIH 2.0 steering committee a mighty round of applause for putting their own necks on the line and articulating our long-standing desire to witness an end to electoral fraud through gerrymandering, phantom and postal votes, outright bribery, thuggish intimidation of voters, and a disgusting assortment of dirty tricks.

The Steering Committee of BERSIH 2.0 comprises: Dato’ Ambiga Sreenevasan (Chairperson), Andrew Khoo, Arul Prakkash, Arumugam K., Dr Farouk Musa, Haris Ibrahim, Liau Kok Fah, Maria Chin Abdullah, Richard Y W Yeoh, Dr Subramaniam Pillay, Dato’ Dr Toh Kin Woon, Dr Wong Chin Huat, Dato’ Yeo Yang Poh and Zaid Kamaruddin.

Take a bow, please, all of you!
