The Difference Between Yellow and Red Shirts in Malaysia

The Difference between the Yellow and Red Rallies

1.      The yellow rally had clear, meaningful and noble objectives while the red rally’s objectives changed by the day, starting with an anarchical and racist purpose and then masquerading itself as a nationalist event.

2.      For the yellow rally, people paid money to buy the T-shirts, get transportation and accommodation whereas for the red rally, people were paid instead and were given transportation and accommodation. For the former, people went to contribute to a cause whereas for the latter they went there because of the contribution.

3.      With the yellow rally, Malaysians were clapping their hands in anticipation of a better future; with the red rally people were clasping their hands in anxiety whether there will be any future.

4.      For traders in the city, they were open for business during the yellow rally and business was very good for many. When it came to the red rally, businesses closed for the day because they weren’t confident that the red shirts would be disciplined and well-behaved. Whatever extra they made during the yellow rally was negated by the closure during the red rally.

5.      The yellow rally had support from all around the country and the world. For the red rally, they had to muster support from all round the country to prop up the KL event.

6.      At the yellow rally, the heavens showered their blessings during the event ; for the red rally, the heavens cast a hazy pall.

7.      The yellow rally arose from a crying need, the red was because of an undying greed.

8.      The yellow rally showed the power of the people, the red showed the power of money.

9.      The yellow rally showed bridges built among the races while the red rally erected fences between the races.

10.  The yellow rally was the voice of the people, the red was the ploy of the politicians.

11.  The yellow rally took the high ground, the red just showed how low politicians can go.

12.  The yellow rally was for a better Malaysia. All the red rally did was to batter Malaysia.
