Ceramah DAP @ PJ ss17

 'Malaysian spring' flags at ss17.

A huge, mostly Chinese crowd flocked to PJ ss17 last night to listen to team of Pakatan Rakyat leaders despite the slight drizzle. The speakers included Khalid Samad, Yeo Bee Yin, Hee Loy Sian, Lau Weng San, local contestant Rajiv Rishyakaran and of course, Tony Pua. Despite delivering his 7th speech of the day, Tony projected his message to the enthusiastic crowd with ease.

We Chinese are typically apathetic to politics and mind our own business but the general election this time has seen them rallying for Pakatan (particularly PAS) on a scale never seen before in the course of Malaysian political history.

The next big ceramah this week will be at the MBPJ Hockey stadium where Dato Ambiga will be the special speaker there. Do attend if you can make some time for it (30th April, Tuesday).

Cheers.

Ceramah DAP @ SS4, PJ

Frankly speaking, the DAP ceramahs were better organised and had better logistics than the PKR ones. They had a proper sound system, stage, lighting, videographer for ubah.tv, etc. Although the mood is not as supercharged as Anwar's or Nurul Izzah's, the more conservative ceramahs appeal to the local residents of the area. Many came from their houses , while some were still dressed in their office wear. Interestingly, the MCs unveiled several DAP products for purchase during speech intervals, such as the ubah mascot, t shirts, books by Lim Kit Siang and Guan Eng, etc.
