FORMER English teacher Anne Ooi who was fondly known as “Auntie Bersih” has passed on last night (March 25), according to a brief statement issued by the Movement for Free and Fair Elections (BERSIH).
The 78-year-old received her “celebrity” status after an “iconic image of Aunty Bersih dressed in a bright yellow T-shirt and holding white chrysanthemums, drenched with chemical-laced water outside the Tung Shin Hospital” became the defining image of Bersih 2 rally.
“She represented thousands, if not millions, of ordinary Malaysian citizens who care about our nation enough to speak up and do something when things are not right,” contended the BERSIH statement.
