Protest to reduce petrol prices. Protes sampai turun (minyak)

Warning. This is a politically related posting. If this is not relevant to u- pls leave now. I did mention that I won't blog about politics, but this isn't about politics... its about the survival of our nation... haha... here goes...

Posting live frm kelana jaya stadium on maxis 3g frm my nokia E65.

Reached around 8.30pm. The stadium was only trickling with people. Now, its abt a quarter full with people. Dr. Hatan Ramli just have his fiery speech on "turun turun... harga minyak... turun, turun... turun pak lah".




Initially, there were only 2 flood lights that were switched on. However, Chegubard requested "kerjasama" from the stadium technicians to turn on ALL the flood lights (there were 4 in total). And open sesame... all came on.


Slowly the crowd filled the stadium...


This was taken from where we were seated. Not too bad view, as we came on time.


Update 1: YB Lim Kit Siang came in with sounds of kompangs. Another fella also came in with kompangs. Maybe its Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (DSAI). Btw, Chegubard chaired the event.

Update 2: No, it was not DSAI. Coz when he arrived at the stadium, Kit Siang's speech was brought to a halt by the crowd. They all stood up and started chanting "Reformasi, Reformasi...". Lim Kit Siang spoke about about few key points. Judiciary, corruption, justice, etc.

After Kit Siang, Anwar came out to speak, everyone stood up to cheer.


My first video posting on YouTube:


This pic is a little blur, showing the some guys flying the DAP and Keadilan flags walking through the crowd. There were banners, flags and slogans everywhere. Too many to snap.


The media was rubbing shoulders to get a nice shot of DSAI in action. He talked about alot of things, and his oratory skills are far better than our PM or DPM. Await his speech on YouTube. But some highlights were:
- asking the Main Stream Media, "Don't waste time covering this event" LOL~!
- when refering to his wife, "...Azizah yang COMEL."
- he will debate will the PM -or- the PM AND the deputy PM together -or- if they're not available, the ministers (information)


At a corner, a few kids were having some fun at the high jump pad.


I wasn't wearing the official colour (red), so I only took a picture of my shadow.
