We are really living in a bygone era here in Malaysia. DBKL just announced yesterday, that starting from 6pm today, Merdeka Square will be closed for 48 hours, until 6pm Sunday.
I know this is old news already, but I just read the news just now, so I live in really snail paced kind of life style.
But back to the 48 hours close off. What was DBKL thinking? A lot of those people in the government actually have children who graduated from universities in USA. Certainly they had heard about the Civil Rights Movement in USA? Back then they parks were closed. And see the USA today? You cannot segregate people any more. If is a proven failed tactic. I actually DBKL would serve up something more creative. So disappointed.
Anyway, to those of you who are going to gather at 1 of the 6 points in Kuala Lumpur, remember to pack a lot of water, raincoat, motorcycle helmet, and of course, mobile phones with camera, video camera, and wi-fi capabilities. Wait, will the wi-fi be cut-off on 28 April? And phone services? Perpare to run, wear cross-trainers.
馬來西亞真的是活在過去。吉隆坡市局昨天宣佈，從今天下午６時起，至星期日下午６時止，將關閉獨立廣場４８小時。
知道了，舊聞了。我是真的很蝸速了。
回到把廣立獨場關閉４８小時。政府那麽人真的是不知道？那些大人物有不少孩子從美國的大學畢業的。他們自己也有聴到美國黑人在反歧視的運動時，白人把公園關閉的歷史。今天美國已沒有隔離政策了。根本已証明不會有用的。還以爲會有甚麽新招。失望。
明天要去的人，記得帶水，雨衣，安全帽，手機，要能上網拍照録影的。還有穿運動鞋。明天的電話和網絡會被切斷嗎？

KEPONG IS FLOODED AGAIN, AND THUGS IN BLACK T-SHIRT ATTACKED CAMPERS
On Thursday 19th April, 2012, a rainy day for Kepong. And guess what? Kepong is flooded. Yes, one fine rainy day and Kepong is flooded. It's not even a record setting kind of rain.
Saw it on the evening news, then checked online, and what I gathered is that at 2.30am Thursday 19th April, 2012, the campers (who claimed to be university students), at Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square), were attacked by a group dressed in black t-shirts. And strangely enough, the police at the scene did not do anything to stop the what-kind-of-people-in-black while the attack happened. Certainly a public punch-up in Malaysia is illegal, right? Like can be prosecuted in court. And all the parties say they have no idea who those people in black are. Lightning fast response to make sure they are not linked to the attack.
The size of the thugs various, depending which source you believe in, some say, 40, some say 60, some even put it to 60~70, so it is a range of 40~70. Anyway, check out the videos at vimeo.com, and you can understand why it is hard to get an exact figure.
I found a video of the aftermath on youtube:

And 2 videos on vimeo.com:

And something is fishy about those campers. They have been there for days, and how come we did not see anything like the riot police come to water canon them, or Selangor Club block the Dataran Merdeka? After all, the square is the property of Selangor Club.
Only in Malaysia.
2012年04月19日星期四，在甲洞下雨。所以今天甲洞淹水了。ㄏ？對啊，今天在甲洞下了好幾小時的大雨，所以淹水了。可是那不是豪雨。反正是淹水，你還想怎樣？馬來西亞就是一下雨就淹水的。
晚間新聞看到，再上網查，綜合之後是今天淩晨2.30am，在獨立廣場扎營的自稱是大專生的一批人，被一群黑衣人毆打。在場的警察完全沒阻止。各方面馬上出來說他們不知道那些黑衣人是誰，反應夠快。
黑衣人的人數難以確定，有的報導是40人，也有說60，70的。人數就從40至70人。反正難以確定就是了。看在 vimeo.com 的視頻就會相信的了。
在 youtube 有之後的視頻：

那些扎營的人也不尋常，他們扎營好幾天了，怎麽沒見到水炮伺候？還有雪蘭莪俱樂部，怎麽不封起獨立廣場？那可是雪蘭莪俱樂部的產業哦。
只會在馬來西亞發生。
