I was really excited and motivated for the event today, but too bad I had to leave 20 minutes after the event started. I got to meet two of my real heroes, A. Samad Said and Lim Kit Siang, and they both ate my cookies!
It was good to see Malaysians regardless of race and age congregate together to stand up for our rights and SAY NO TO THE PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY BILL!! (which in reality, isn’t peaceful at all, because it restricts our rights to assemble in public places, with a whole bunch of rules and restrictions. The Peaceful Assembly Bill bans street demonstrations and was passed on November 29 on BN votes after the opposition Pakatan Rakyat bloc staged a walkout (quoted from Malaysian Insider). For background info of the bill and why we oppose, click here and here) It shows that Malaysians can gather with peace and does not cause any commotion or stir any danger! (*says BOOO!!! to the creators to this law!*)
Since I left early, I just left the red bean buns with them, I hope they didn’t go to waste! I think the cookies were distributed before I left, but when I left the buns were left untouched 😦
But nevermind, it’s the thought that matters! Keep up the good work Chin Huat (key person for this event) and fellow comrades, we won’t give up and I will continue to show my support until the bill is withdrawn!
