		<description><![CDATA[Pak Samad and Marina Mahathir have both condemned the recent &#8216;outbreaks&#8217; of crude forms of protest action directed at Ambiga and Bersih. Calling a spade a spade, Pak Samad says that Ambiga is being singled out for such crude protests. See this Malaysiakini report. Meanwhile, Marina in her Musings column for The Star says, &#8220;If <a href='http://anilnetto.com/democracy/civil-society/pak-samad-marina-mahathir-slam-anti-ambiga-threats-abuse/' class='excerpt-more'>[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much has been written about the yellow shirts of Bersih 3.0 on 28 April, but there was also a noticeable number of green-shirted protesters. Who were they?
