Hari ini genap 39 tahun dulu, peristiwa berdarah 13 Mei 1969, so baca la buka sejarah tuk citer sebenar. Aku pun belum lahir so tak boleh nak coret lebih2. Tapi antara paparan yg aku baca dari buku "Chronicles of Malaysia" bunyi nya gini (time tu semua in English, so get a dictionary kalau tak paham!)
13 May Kuala Lumpur; A curfew was imposed in several areas following clashes between groups of youths in the Federal Capital and Petaling Jaya. The Areas under dawn to dusk curfew were Kepong, Sungei Buloh, Sungai Pelong, Sungai Besi, serdang, Serdang Baru, Salah South Baru, Ampang, Ampang New Village, Travers Road, Jalan Pekeliling, Brickfields, the centre of Kuala Lumpur and the Petaling Jaya district. Curfews were also imposed in Penang and Perak.(Telok Anson, Taiping, Sitiawan, Kerian, Batu Gajah, Parit and Kampar districts). Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman appealed for support and cooperation with the security forces in maintaining security. 'I am aggrieved at what has taken place,' he said, warning of the dangers of such occurances in future.
Keputusan pilihanraya umum yg dijalankan sehari sebelum itu menunjukkan di Selangor, deadlock antara kerajaan dan pembangkang dgn 14-14. Perak, Penang dan juga Kelantan tewas ke tangan pembangkang. Hebat gak zaman tu kira dah ramai pembangkang!
Seakan-akan keputusan pilihanraya baru2 ni kan?? Mungkinkah rusuhan kaum 13 Mei berulang lagi dalam konteks zaman sekarang?? Rusuhan minda dan ideologi mungkin?? :))
