  • KLCC Protest II Photos

    There were over a hundred personnel, present at KLCC at about 1.30pm today, from the Malaysian Federal Reserves Unit (FRU), blue-uniformed and plain-clothes policemen. They were anticipating a demonstration from unhappy Malaysians taking to the streets in protest against the recent 30 sen hike in petrol prices.

    KLCC security guards also got in the act when they started ushering-in people/shoppers, both local and foreign, who were standing outside the mall trying to figure out what was going on.

    The guards and policemen told people to go into the complex immediately, before they closed/locked the doors/main entrance. The cops claimed that they couldn’t ensure the people’s safety if the ‘law enforcers’ started retaliating against the protestors.

    Soon after, at about 2.30pm the demonstrators, comprising of primarily members/supporters of opposition parties Keadilan (PKR), PAS (Islamic party), PSM (Socialists) and the Democratic Action Party (DAP).

    The protesters, about 2000, walked towards KLCC from Hotel Nikko carrying party flags, banners and posters. They chanted slogans such as “Hidup rakyat, minyak naik rakyat susah” (Citizens suffer when oil price increases).

    Politicians from the various parties took turns to speak through a loud-speaker, which was unfortunately not loud enough, to the crowd while questioning the rational of the price hike and the government on what has happened to money collected from oil exports from the country.

    Their speeches were often drowned out by a police helicopter flying over the crowd and around KLCC, sometimes flying a low as about a couple of hundred feet above the crowd. Although the copter was intimidating, loud and menacing, the protesters seemed undeterred by it.

    The protest lasted for over an hour and a majority of the demonstrators dispersed peacefully. However it has been reported that some protesters continued their march to Jalan Sultan Ismail where they were doused by FRU water cannons. There were no apparent arrests.

  • Where is rakyat RM0.33 Billion?

    It has been 2 weeks after the petrol price hike on 27th February. So now the question is where is the RM0.33 billion? You may ask what is the RM0.33 billion.

    Our government said subsidy and tax exemption borne by the government this year alone – from January to February 2006 – was RM1.19 billion and RM1.44 billion respectively. So after 2weeks, which mean 1/4 of the month(It should be 2/4 of the month, but no different). 1/4 of the RM1.44 billion would be RM0.33 billion, so where is the RM0.33 billion goes?

    Do you guys see any improvement on the public transport? OR any action taken by our government to Rakyat Malaysia? I only see my petrol and food become more expensive.

    There will be a massive protest going on today 2pm in KLCC. If you are there, write a big board and ask where is the first RM0.33 billion now. 😉

  • 問世間 , 情為何物

    夢裡又見到你了…………
    上天讓我認識到你 , 絕對是對我人生最大的挑戰
    遇見你 , 絕對是我人生的大錯

    我不敢追求你 , 因為怕你會接受我
    我怕我會承受不到其他人的壓力而拋棄你 , 特別是你的父母+兄弟姊妹
    我怕我那還沒有定性的會因為以後對你厭倦了而拋棄你
    我怕我的事業心會淹沒我和你

    我嘗試利用其他的女子來代替你 , 但是我根本忘記不到你
    我給了我自己一個承諾 , 5 年之後如果你還沒有結婚的話 , 我一定會給你幸福的

    天阿 , 我(目前)還是一個不羈放縱愛自由的人 , 怎麼你讓我與上了這麼完美的女子阿!!!!
