Black Day

If you're in Malaysia on 7/5/09, make sure you don't wear all black. If you do, you risk getting arrested!!

Wong Chin Huat was arrested under the Sediction Act for launching the 1BlackMalaysia campaign.

What's this 1BlackMalaysia Campaign, you might ask?

We the Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (BERSIH) call upon all Malaysians to wear black to work, to school, in play or at home the coming May 7th (Thursday) to present “1BLACKMalaysia” to Prime Minister Najib Razak as our strongest protest to the on-going Perak coup he has orchestrated. More

Clearly, an abuse of power.

Is wearing black a threat to national security? A threat to unity? Or it's more likely a threat to Najib's credibility? Black colour is one of the most common colour apart from white in terms of clothing. Now, since black is "banned" on 7/5/09, maybe all of us should wear pink?!

So Malaysians, beware on 7/5/09. If you're afraid, don't wear black! Maybe black underpants will do. :P

Otherwise, be brave and show your protest!
