I worked the graveyard shift again tonight, after a long hiatus from straight party photography. Freelancing is cool, it pays more per shot, and I still get to deviate from the prime objective and take some pictures for myself. But I'm getting tired of what KL tries so hard to be. I'm done. Find me at the mamak down the street. Teh ais on me.
It's been a very long time since I last participated in a human rights
activism event, but after seeing this demonstration advertised on
Facebook (I know, right) I figured it would do me good to drop by after
work. The speeches were a little bland, but turnout was good, and the
police and building security behaved themselves. This is one of the few
things that make me feel good about being a Malaysian citizen. There
aren't many in this country who would take the trouble to think beyond
the confines of their own self interests, but when they do, they come
out regardless of colour, or religion or political and ideological
affiliation. I overheard a passerby remark to his friend, "What can we
do about Myanmar anyway?" Not much, admittedly. But around 300 people
converged last night and did whatever they could, and that's a damn
sight more than what that guy did.
Let the monks go. Democracy for Burma. Stand up.
