How It All Started
It started on 29 October 2011 where a group of us gathered to occupy the Speakers' Square in Penang. We started a People's Assembly. The topics discussed included problems faced by mahasiswas in higher places of learning and the issue of racism. About 50 participants came fromTaiping, Kedah, Prai and the Island. We found such discussion useful and decided to hold the People's Assembly every Friday at 9.00pm at the same place. This is the poster for our first event.
The second event was held on the 4th of November, on the eve of Hari Raya Haji. We saw about 15 friends despite a heavy rain and the eve of the festive season. We gathered at the porch of the MPPP Town Hall beside the Spaekers' Square to shelter from the rain and chatted two issues : Media and the Sexuality Merdeka event. The evening air was cool after the rain and we were happy with our open discussion in the open air. This is the poster for our second meeting.
We are now designing our third poster. There are artists among us. We like our work and our sharing of thoughts. We invite you to join us this Friday. We shall decide what to discuss where we all sit down together. We can even opt to play some music or do some gigs.
We shall not be alone. There will be friends doing similar things at different places in the country and in the world too. It is about people doing things together. Friday 11.11.11, 9.00pm at Speakers' Square, Padang Kota Lama, Penang.
