Bersih video: It will come... sabar la!

Some quarters are already demanding the Home Ministry to release the police video-account on Bersih 3.0. Some even accused the ministry and the government of trying to 'tamper' with it first before making it public.

A statement by Home Ministry's sec-gen Datuk Abdul Rahim Mohd Radzi yesterday failed to quash wild remarks by the Opposition and few NGOs that the delay was simply to provide time for Bukit Aman to edit any parts that show 'police brutality'.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein had on May 31 said that video footage of the rally would be made available to the public within two days. On Monday, he said the recordings would be uploaded to the ministry's website by yesterday.

To those who have been making such remarks, hear this - the video is actually ready to be uploaded to the ministry's website.

However, as Rahim mentioned, it would be wiser for the Independent Advisory Panel to see it first before it was released.

Members of the panel will have it first at its meeting next Monday before the public can see the free flow content of it.

The ministry got nothing to hide, and so is Bukit Aman. No tampering, no superimposition and no editing was done. It's the original footage from the April 28 rally. And it has nothing to do with the govt legal suit against Bersih organiser Ambiga.

But why aren't Bersih organising members like Ambiga, Anwar and others remained quiet about the video. The pressure was only coming from some NGOs and pro-govt organisations, and NOT from the Opposition?

Even Anwar and Ambiga did not utter a single word about the promised video. Hmmmm...
