The Man with the Straw Hat

One of the enduring images of the Bersih 3.0 rally is that of the man with the straw hat, teacher Toh Ching Hong.

Watch how he doesn’t flinch even when tear gas is fired.

The straw hat man is iconic, like the chinese man facing the tank in the Tiananmen incident.

You are wrong.
There were peaceful fun at Bersih 3.0 until the PDRM decided to be ganas!

Lawrence Saw is the biggest fan of Anwar Ibrahaim, the ex-judge Christopher Fernando thought that he is from the Special Branch. When Anwar ask lawrence which branch he is from. Lawrence didn’t know how to answer cause he is from the special branch of PKR!!!!

Don’t know about the expiry date of teargas, but your brain has definitely past its expiry date…a long time ago.

Restock their gases? What a good idea, Gherks. You couldprovide them with an endless supply of baked beans from your mini markets and get a good KPI.

Good … gas from Gelakan K may suffice!
So repelling, one can sense it a mile away!
So GK, you got to eat a lot of Little India onions!

“we all cannot tolerate your stupidity” No, you are the one that think like that. Imagine there are groups of students protesting / demanding free meals everyday. Unfortunately they turn aggressive after 5 minutes of peaceful sitting and starting to run amok (hmm think KOTOR group if you want example). What police must do know ??? Yeah, disperse them. What they should use ??? Correct, it’s teargas. But what if the teargas not functioning or people have found way to cope with it ??? Then you must improve the teargas. It’s a matter of security that little boy like you… Read more »

The one who should be drinking more milk is you, though that would be a real waste of resources, considering there are many families who can’t even afford that.

Maybe you could do some donation. Your wife is already earning at least 15k. Shall we say half of that?

Your sheer propensity & desire to punish excessively with no mercy is so despicable! Whether young or old, you see no justifiable existence of life for people like the man with the straw hat.
What I can imagine is a demonic glee in the same class of Barang Naiki in your Gelakan shame-face when and if the man with the straw hat should fall face down & perhaps gasp a last breath on that fateful … day of 428 …
Pray for the last of this evil species to ever slither … in Boleh Land.

Do you show mercy to law breakers ??? RM5 fine for rapists ??? Be real, they are a threat to national security. All these “peaceful first violence later” demonstrations must be halted !!!

As many Singaporeans like to say, “Follow the law and you will be OK”

The real law breakers are (sections of) the men in blue!
The real cowards are the violent man handlers in groups against one.
The twisted mind of outwardly law abiding but covertly itching for lawlessness against peaceful, unarmed denizens are the Gelakan & Barang Naiki minions chomping pop corns with sadistic glee while viewing Bersih supporters terrorized by the men in blue.
Enough have been voiced the world over, yet in our midst there walk sadists of unspeakable proportions …

The Day of The Lord is nearer. Tremble if you don’t seek forgiveness of sadism.
