Despite the disruption by the mob at Speakers’ Square yesterday, there were more positive scenes at the Himpunan Hijau 2.0 solidarity gathering in Penang.
Today’s gathering of some 15000 people in Kuantan was probably the biggest environmental protest in Malaysian history.
Kuantan was turned into a sea of green this morning as some 15000 people turned up for the Himpunan Hijau 2.0 gathering to protest at Lynas Corporation’s construction of a rare earth refinery.
The state government today held a ground-breaking ceremony for 12000 cheaper homes in Bandar Cassia in Batu Kawan on mainland Penang designed by the Singapore HDB consultants.
