Demo for a better Malaysia?

Whilst the nation has seen many street demonstrations calling for electoral reforms or betterment of racial conditions, I'm puzzled by the street demo in Georgetown after Friday prayers. What for? To protest against the DAP-led government in Penang.

What if the boot is on the other foot? This is clearly a good example of a sore loser unhappy with losing then starts to protest. Even the PM I respect started to play the trump card of racial division again by a warning to the new CM. For what?

Every word and actions seemed like an act of retribution at Penangites for what they've done last weekend. So much of for the nation and for the people. And didn't the same people proclaim that protests aren't a part of our culture? For every problem, there's a suitable channel to go through. Yeah, right. Didn't the son-in-law of our PM in a speech asked the police to act swiftly on the BERSIH rally for disrupting peace? Wonder what's his stand on this rally?
A case of paranoia - isn't there a federal government and also the Constitution?

At least now I see the real colours besides that of blue and white, or rather red and white. Can't these people learn to live and follow instead of leading all the time? Humility is what they're lacking.
