...along with hundred over thousands of malaysian from all walk of life. malay chinese indian pribumi soaking up the event.. it was a carnival-like atmosphere, businesses such as drink and food were having brisk business like never seen before.. t-shirts, badges, blow horns, flags, were hot stuffs too..
and i guess the pro ubn media will say tomorrow that only 40-50k turned up.. police managed to control the demonstrators, bla, bla, bla...
the fact is, if the police were to managed the crowd and the traffic like what they did this afternoon, chaos will never reign. but knowing ubn, they never have anything good to say about people who don't kow-tow with their policy and beliefs..
i met personally people like ambiga, haris ibrahim from people's parliament, aruchelvam of psm, ronasina the cartoonist and blogger, lutfi osman the columnist, and load of others too.. hakam and pop were there too, selling keychains with nik aziz pic on them..
anyway, it was a day of reckoning, merriment, trouble free, except maybe for the litter left behind. hope they (read: the organiser) had thought about it.
history in the making....
