Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat, Merdeka Stadium, 12/1/2013 2-5pm.

People's uprising assembly

We from Melaka are all excited to get going.

Police permit was granted for it. However, subsequently suggested, last minute, for changing to a bigger stadium. The organiser had confirmed the venue will not be changed.

Stadium Merdeka had also been approved officially for use.

A little background story for those still in the blur what is this Kebangkitan is all about:
1. Months ahead PR had been going round every state in Malaysia organising rallies known as Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat

2. Now this Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat, Merdeka Stadium, 12/1/2013 2-5pm will be the culmination of all the rallies. A national scale.

3. As has been stated ahead permit for venue and police permit have all been obtained. This will array a lot of uncertainty in many minds and lots of people will feel free to attend.

4. The organising committee is headed by PAS Vice President Mat Sabu.

5. We have been told to bring a little salt each, in case, you know what it is for right? (tear gas neutraliser/ or symptomatic reliever, comforter)

6. Remember not to bring any invasive object. Only things like towel, water, cup, umbrella, walking shoes... Etc what you need like a little money. Of course your media broadcasting gadgets...iPad, iPhone , camera.

7. Be clear what we are going for:
A. To show we have enough of the present regime... Whether we are Yellow: Bersih 8 demands, Green: anti-Lynas and Environmental concern, Orange: Felda interest, Red: oil royalty.

B. meet up with like minded citizen of Malaysians from all walks of life...

My friend just cautious me the following;

Anyway be safe for tomorrow - as usual interested parties will plant instigators to stir up trouble for WORLD's Attention. It's a well known Anarchists tactic - as a young socialist during Uni days in UK - we always joined the anti-facist /anti National Front March - there we see the same group of people demanding that we confront the Government. Remember water and wet towels - else you will be crying!! BE SAFE

There are around a few thousands people listening to many less well known speakers. Most are waiting asking if Anwar is coming. Mat Sabu is already on stage. Will be be addressing the crowd soon.
Is quite dark,the field is wet and muddy, it is raining, dribbling , yet the people are staying and response will shout and cheers.
