Just got back home from the mass gathering to abolish ISA, solidarity call for the recent victims arrested under the ISA, detention without trial.
Great speeches from famous political fighters like Uncle Kit and Penang CM YB Lim Guan Eng. This is the 2nd major political gathering that I participated and the numbers definitely bigger than the previous PROTES 2008 that I attended. Met some prominent political bloggers there as well.
Final speech was from our Prime Minister in waiting, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Publicly, DSAI assured that he has the numbers to form a federal government and in fact today Pakatan Rakyat sent a letter to Dollah Badawi to arrange a meet up. A peaceful transition of power is from BN to Pakatan is one of the agenda in the letter co-signed by DSAI (PKR), Uncle Kit (DAP) & Hadi Awang (PAS). And Malaysia for once see hope when an UMNO minister, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim tendered his resignation today to Dollah. Anwar adviced the public to be patient and expect a surprise from the UMNO hero himself, Datuk Zaid.
Anwar again stressed that if Pakatan comes to power tomorrow, immediate decrease in petrol price and immediate release for all ISA detainees. Insyallah, god-willing, we will be bless in this holy Ramadhan month.
I end this post with few pictures taken at the gathering. Better catch some sleep as I am heading for Sabah later. Good night!
It's 6.30PM now. The weather seems gloomy, it seems like rain is unavoidable. Nevertheless, I will be there tonight for the solidarity for RPK. Having the privilege to work in the building beside the stadium, let me update a bit what's happening right now.
They ground peeps are erecting the PA systems and tents. And I can see many individuals setting up tables, perhaps for the buka puasa function later. Hopefully by then the weather will be on our side. For non-muslims, be there roughly around 9PM onwards as our Muslim friends will start their buka puasa session, Maghrib & Isyak prayers followed by Tarawih prayers.
Be there together and expect talks from leaders like YB Lim Kit Siang, YB Hadi Awang & Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Today's vigil expected to end at midnight.
And I will be carrying a big task tomorrow. Tomorrow, Sept 16th, I will be summoned to Sabah. And tomorrow is also a public holiday for Sabah in conjunction of the TYT's birthday. Will be there to see what I can do to make the frogs jump.
Hehehe... no lah, I am just joking. But the real fact is that I am going to Sabah on a project meeting not on politics. I will be back on the same day.
A hectic day. Luckily it's a holiday on Wednesday. See you peeps, let's pray Malaysia Day will come true.
Cheers!
