Guess it is about time - if not for record if nothing else.
Well about two weeks ago, we have the 2011 budget announcement. Of course there is this ridiculous announcement to try to 're-activate' the economy - by building a 100 storey tower! Boringgg...!!! Sarcastic and cynical, and having learnt some literature in school, really, it is just another phallic symbol of yet another prime minister. That of course, is a much better point of view instead of insinuating the corruption, under-table monies and enriching a few etc. etc.
However, what is of interest, and some thing that will not ever go away for a while. is this new way for us ordinary citizens to express our opinions! Almost overnight, we have this 1M Malaysians Reject 100 storey Mega Tower. [check out http://www.facebook.com/NoMegaTower; http://on.fb.me/baV6US ]
So we protest. Not sure when it started, but it has already over a hundred thousand who have logged in. Today, Sunday, is the day, we change the profile in our Facebook. It is definitely a peaceful protest, no doubt and Ghandi would have been really proud.
So below are some of the pictures we could use for this silent and non-violence protest!
And these are alternatives suggested for the ruling party on how best we could spend RM5billion...
