For my son, when he grows up, this site will be my legacy for him. The decisions his mother and I made for him, to understand them, to learn from them and to lead a life without prejudice and to succeed in it on his own merit.

A Ripple From The Storm

Peaceful candlelight vigil ended with arrest
by chan lilian

A spate of arrests have been going on in Malaysia over these few days. In Penang, a human rights group, SUARAM organised a peaceful candlelight vigil. However, it ended with the arrest of the emcee. Citizen Journalist Chan Lilian was there at the candlelight vigil to show solidarity to the Malaysians who were arrested and captured the event on video.

In Malaysia, lawyers and journalists have been arrested while in the course of doing their duties. This has caused concerns to citizens because of the rampant arrests. As a concerned citizen, Citizen Journalist, Chan Lilian attended a candlelight vigil on a balmy, moonlite night. However, things turned ugly when the police hauled up the emcee of the vigil and threatened to arrest everyone else. A sad end to a peaceful gathering asking for democracy, truth, justice and freedom.
