People Progressive Party (PPP) jumped on the Bersih bashing bandwagon
today accusing the youths involved for “herd mentality” and not being
able to think for themselves.
During
PPP Federal Territories convention today, party president M Kayveas
claimed that many youths who took part in the mammoth rally for clean
and fair elections on April 28 did not understand the rally’s cause, saying, "If you ask them why they went, they will say they don't know, they just followed their friends. This is the kind of society we have now. We don't think."

Kayveas blamed this kind of thinking on Pakatan Rakyat, accusing them of instigating the nation's youths and
said that previously, students would dutifully play their roles, such
as being students.
He alleged that nowadays they are more likely to
be engaging in an online smear campaign.
He told some 1,000 delegates, "They wake up, open
laptop and slander people... 40 percent of (the country's population) is
using social media, but much information they receive on the internet
are not true,"
Meanwhile, PPP Federal Territories chairman A Chandrakumanan condemned the Bersih movement for dividing the Malaysians "which have been living in peace for 54 years", saying, "We saw how the demonstrators overturned a police car, set fire to a motorcycle and how they kicked and beat up a policeman in uniform. The opposition is teaching the people how to be violent."
