Would we hv d courage & strength when we hv 2 stand 4 our rights & principals in Malaysia? fauzishaffie: @JShahryar Cannot describe how agonizing it is to hear women and children being fired upon by Government people. #Egypt #jan25 #Obama From former Prime Minister and popular blogger Mahathir Mohamad: Should these revolutions succeed there would be new Governments. But it is worthwhile to remember that change is not always for the better. It is incumbent upon those bent on effecting change to have some idea about the kind of Governments they want. Otherwise they may get the same kind of Governments that they try so hard to be rid off. This is because most leaders upon achieving power would change and would forget the struggles and sacrifices which enabled them to be in power. Power corrupts as we all know. Jakarta, Indonesia Some twitter users are comparing the situation in Egypt to the 1998 protests in Indonesia which eventually led to the resignation of President Suharto who ruled the country for three decades. richardbera: Watching the situation deteriorating in #Egypt. Clashes btwn pro n anti #Mubarak groups. People are dying.

DonnySaputro: RT @Jnoubiyeh: The courage and determination of the oppressed will triumph over the iron fist of a dictator. #Egypt #Jan25 #Mubarak Alveta Rorio reacts I've been watching Al Jazeera coverage of events unraveling in Egypt for several days now. I have very little knowledge of the nation's history nor the earlier breakout in Tunis that seemed to trigger this extraordinary revolution. Nonetheless, the courage and determination of the people there is amazing. They stand up together against guns, tanks, fighter jets. Yet, it's also baffling that the government has been so stubborn. How is it possible to maintain the status quo after such movement? Manila, Philippines Manila netizens are describing the Egypt protests as similar to the People Power Revolution in 1986 which toppled the Marcos dictatorship. Filipinos are celebrating the 25th anniversary of this historic event this month. majoro64: army plays role in PH 1986 revolt.
