New Dawn has come for Malaysia: Reflection after Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat ( #KL112#HKR)

1. What an enormous sight to behold, the thousand upon thousand of people walking orderly in all sort of colours toward the Merdeka Stadium. The equatorial sun shine heat may not be that soothing ; none is not sweating. Thank God there were some cloud and gentle breeze to cheers the day.

2. Discipline, considerate and matured citizens. Just to relate a moment when I was showing my displeasure to a 3 motorbikes-convoy through the massive crowd, the people around me were understanding, accepting but did not pour petrol to my anger fire. Good not to react to minor provocations all the way.

3. There were no trace of enmity, alienation but friendly and warm whenever we greet and exchange greetings or strike up a small talk.

4. One friend of mine even found a Malay stranger end up paying for his drink. Where else do you find this?

5. Is so strange to the extend of being magical, the delight in the fellowship...when you find everyone as though we were from the same school, alumni; be it in a passing remark, you find the togetherness and the spirit of kinship, if I can use it. We were from the school: ABU!

6. There were 65 to 80% Malay this time round. We are so happy to see our Malay brethren coming out in throngs. We rejoiced to know that the Malays who are the majority is going to make the difference in the ballot box. This time Ah Cheat Kor is going, gonna!

7. So many Makchik, Pakchik, youngsters and even kids. The beauty of them is the whole family came, young and old. Some even in wheel chairs.

8. Phenomenon is this: you can see from their facial expressions, the serenity and faith that this gathering is making history. In another word, this is the last largest gathering ever in Malaysia. They want to be counted! If not, in wheel chairs also want to come?! The next big protest will be no more us but the Umno/BN supporters, they: the opposition !

9. Festivities. There are those who come in style! Special colourful hair, clothings, masks. One even brought his monkey dressed up sitting in the hind seat. (See attached photos)

10. Horns and vuvuzelas. Ah so many, so noisy at time drown the speakers.
Remember, it is a time for joy, to celebrate and cheers in welcoming a better Malaysia. If Ah Cheat Kor and his Umno/BN gang take light of it, they may suffer the fate of being shown the door in the eminent election.
