Rakyat@Work shares with us his experience at the RPK trial today. It was the people who were there who caught his attention:
Day Two: arrived at about noon; court hearing began at 12.30pm till 1.30pm; already drizzling then. Met two interesting true supporters.
A man told me he left home very early to ensure he gets a seat for he is committed to follow through the entire case.
Very early means reaching the court house before 8am? I simply asked him about the jam.
He replied, not really a problem ‘cos he came by bus.
Bus? Where from?
From Seremban! And this is his secound day here.
That blew me away. Wow.
Then another chap joined us and told us there was another fellow yesterday who came from Malacca!
Man, thats what I call Yes! Action Supporter!
Here’s the deal, people: another lawyer (who took leave) amongst us is such a darling. He would drop by to ensure seats in court are never empty. Should there be people who need it, he’ll gladly give up his seat and come back later just in case there are not enough supporters! Can you beat that? I tell you people, we never know what kindness is all about. I’m humbled by this experience.
This case may take us right through Thursday or even Friday. I urge all of you – just take two hours off, come and lend your support. We take turns to make sure RPK is never short of friends ‘when in need’.
This is truly One Bangsa thing. No worries about T-shirts. You’ll find one once you’re there. History in the making. Be part of it for RPK, family and your next generation’s sake.

Nina,
Sorry to reply so late – I’ve only just come on and seen your post -the hearing for tomorrow is scheduled to start @ 9 a.m.
There was no one this afternoon as the Prosecution’s 4th witness completed his testimony before lunch and the proceeding was adjourned to tomorrow morning.
As for the T-shirts, he should be able to get them from some of those in Court – just ask a few of those wearing the t-shirts and I’m sure he’ll be pointed in the right direction.
Regards
Hi, When exactly is the court hearing – from 8.30 – 12.30am? And noon at what time please? Wish i could be there but am working. Have requested for my boyfirned to go and he was there at 1.30pm but no one in sight, so let me know on the time pls, wanna get a T-Shirt too! I would like to suggest that we have every Sundays for T-shirt purchasers to put it on. That means we dont just wear it during rallies or RPK’s hearing – we wanna be loud and spread the message for anti-ISA, free RPK, down… Read more »
here’s a tip how to fight UMNO… i believe ‘A man from Seremban’ and ‘another chap from Malacca’ have done that.
read my lips, all stupid problems that we are facing along these 51 year are caused by UMNO.
If People in PJ drops by, I am sure the police need water canon to disperse them….RPK supporters just do not want to mess the hearing and with due respect to the judge and the court they are just staying away….say for instance if the BN claim RPK lack support, the court complex will become a sea of human being….We love RPK……
