I’ll post these literally as I upload them from my camera (pls click on the picture for a better image). Updates on the situation here. * 1am, 1 Dec; that’s it for now. These pictures are best viewed from bottom to top (1-10). Malaysiakini’s video is also out now. This was my last view of the [...] Note: Will try to keep updates via this post in bangkit.net. * Just got back, here’s the situation when i left. (I have photos of all described below, and will upload as soon as i can). By about noon: The surau was demolished in a most sacreligious and offensive manner. I was told that the JAIS (Selangor Religious [...] apparently mpaj, the police, and (?!?!) JAIS (Selangor Islamic Religious Department) are there to take down the Surau, so I’m going to try and pop on over for a bit. Updates to come! Let’s start with a recent crusade by DAP stalwart Ronnie Liew that was picked up by Malaysiakini: .. parliamentary constituenc(ies have) been given (by the government) a year-end ‘bonus’ of RM3 million. Only two rules apply – they need to spend it in six weeks and the money is only for bumiputera contractors. The total funds? RM [...] Was a pretty good sharing, and the audience was actually mostly Chinese I reckon, which I take as a good sign. While I think there are good arguments warranting the need for such fora, I am looking fwd to the day the problems of one community are even more so considered the concerns of all [...] Off to forum soon, but Mr. K aka predream sent over some good pics of Berembang protest in Shah Alam this morning that went off w/o a hitch.

Was tardy [...] Took me a while to get to this, but I wanted to highlight some contents of a memo Suaram submitted some time back (endorsed by a few other NGOs as well) regarding children and pregnant mothers being held in immigration detention centres. Through our investigations and from other credible sources, we have [...] There’ll be a protest tomorrow, do come and show solidarity! There’s also the JERIT memorandum – they’re looking for signatures from both individuals and organisations. Please do have a look and sign the memo (via e-mail), come to the protest, or best of all, both! ps- will try to get back to regular news asap…… The trip down to Kampung Berembang yesterday went quite well, even though due to some miscommunication, we arrived much earlier than the rest of the people were scheduled to. All the destruction really reminded me of my time in Aceh – all the destruction and debris, coupled with the sight of people being forced to take [...] Firstly, hope to see you all at the Kampung Berembang gotong-royong! Should be an all day affair, so marilah sokong :) More imporantly, resenting the first in our illustrated ‘Your BackSide!’ series :) Illustrated by a good friend and most talented artist :) Reminder to all, tomorrow, Sun, Nov 26th, Gotong-Royong at Kampung Berembang! Hopefully, we’ll be able to see some helpers from Acmar International :) Had a cool comment from reader Deva, who will be at the gotong-royong that I wanted to highlight: You fellows (MPAJ) practically killed innocent lifes in Highland Towers and more lifes lost in [...] The Malaysian had some very kind words and presented a small quest of sorts – to do some looking into what’s going on in Gasing Hill. There’s some more background regarding this sketchy planned development on a very risky slope at savebukitgasing, bangkit.net and at The Malaysian.
