Hi’
I’m driving from Ipoh to Taiping, need to know where do we meet in Taiping?
How do we identify each other on the road? Yellow ribbons on the antena?
Folks,
Hope the caravan turns out to be a blast!
However, the response to the RPK petition was not quite as encouraging.
Can I suggest an additional/alternative protest method against the ISA detention of RPK?
Remember those small but very irritating “Raise the Flag” and “Dare to Fail” stickers we used to see everywhere?
What if we came up with our own stickers, nice catchy, multi-lingual ones, not only about RPK/ISA but also about the rot in the system?
While being especially careful not to alienate the Malays as this is the core consituency (being woo-ed by the racial antics of Umno) that will tip the balance either way now.
Apart from Bebaskan Raja Petra! Some other examples:
- Merdeka dari Rasuah
- Haramkan ISA
- Barisan Sumpah Menyampah
- N… Mongolia
- Harapkan UMNO, UMNO makan padi (based on the Malay proverb, harapkan pagar, pagar makan padi)
- UMNO – U Must Not Object
- Barisan Kaya, Rakyat Miskin
- BN = Correct, Correct, Correct
- Ketua Hakim Malaysia – VK Lingam
What do you folks think? Any other suggestions? How about in Mandarin or Tamil?
Am sure somebody has some contacts for a printer and we can start distributing thousands of stickers.
This is a low risk yet highly visible protest that endures – damn difficult to scrape off those stickers!
It’s great to go for candle light vigils and Kamunting caravans, but given the real life constraints, not many can make it nor feel willing to stick their necks out so far.
This will enable the “silent majority” to speak up, or rather stick up!
