Streaking Anyone?

Exposing onself in public is an offence. But in Spain, you need not have to do it yourself, but to get the thrills to let the bull do it for you. Hilarious!

FREE AUNG SAN SUU KYI - 04 April 2009

The “makcik” stall standing at the corner of the junction came to life when more ABDF members started to congregate. All dressed in red with a bold printed portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi on the front.

Free Aung San Suu Kyi is akin to the “battle cry” for all Burmese who have fled Burma to the different parts of the world.

Finally, they started their march to the Embassy around 10.25 a.m. right into where the police had set their blockade.

The organizers negotiated with the police to allow them 15 minutes to vent their protest, and it was met with the much needed approval. The police stood watching while the members of the ABDF carried out what they had planned for in an orderly manner.




The chanting and shouts to free Aung San Suu Kyi was loud and clear. The Burmese Embassy was locked in and no official from the embassy was available for comments over the protest.

A key member read out their protest against the military junta and their demand that Aung San Suu Kyi must be released immediately.






Finally, it was all over taking more than 15 minutes. The flexibility of the police is noted here and it should be the way because protesters have their reasons to protest, and the police should provide them that rightful avenue to vent their feelings by ensuring nothing untoward happens.

This is the scene of this morning gathering, a stone's throw from the Burmese Embassy. The event was to show a strong protest by the members of All Burma Democratic Force (ABDF) Malaysia, in protest against the junta over the continual house arrest of Aung San Suu Kyi.

Hopefully, the technical problems could be rectified soon for more posting.

Looking At The Bright Side Of Life

The article of this brave girl from China was posted on April 24 under the label of: A Moment For Reflection.

Everywhere in the world, it is more or less the same story of profound courage that the “victims” have shown despite their physical deficiency.

In the attached video clip, you will see for yourself another courageous soul who has overcome the odds.

May god be with you my dear friend!
