Syed Hamid Albar cricitized the act of several key figures in PAS and several other NGOs who held the demonstration last Friday at Masjid Jamek, Kg Baru (Refer : Syed Hamid slams opposition for price hike rally, The Star Malaysia Online).
According to him, such acts would not solve any problems. Well, is it really true? During the times of Suharto, it was the revolution of the masses that made him eventually brought down, from his heavenly kingdom, back to ground. It was also the big Iran Revolution that turned the famous land of Persia upside down, with the big aftermath of having the Shah Iran getting himself out of Iran after being betrayed by the Iranian Army.
Well, perhaps the examples were a little old school, a little far from reality (The Iranian revolution was in late 70s, the Indonesian revolution was in the late 90s). The recent demonstration against the parking price hike is perhaps another example. Just after one, two days of the demonstration, DBKL canceled their sudden plan to increase the parking fee.
Well, perhaps the oil price hike in the near future could then give a big impact to our government in revising back the price.
