Racism Ceased Here5:10pm Last minute briefing for all volunteers after a hectic last minute preparation. Guest started pouring in since 4:00 pm. A slight drizzle at this moment with heavy overhead clouds threatening to crash down on us. We seemed to have a slight problem uploading pics. So bear with me for awhile.

Unable to be there, but following your live report eagerly now , please update as frequently as possible.
Thank You.
Yang, For me, it was like a "balik kampong" feeling.
Seeing so many familiar faces.
Hearing Haris say what we know in our hearts.
Being a witness to the birth of SABM.
It's truly heartwarming to see how much people care about Malaysia.

Sorry, Peter.
The official launch lasted for about an hour plus. After that, It was all people meeting people session.
Food was served and despite the lack of space, the people adjusting and adapting themselves freely. Some were sitting and eating on the staircase. There was no sign of dissatisfaction on their face.
That was the spirit at the Rumah last night. We all just blend together..
Father OC Lim made his appearance. He is well now. Malik Imtiaz came with full of support. Datuk Ambiga dropped by for the Spirit.
They are the old timers. Guessed they must have been missing this beautiful feeling for quite some time now.
Well, you missed the Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia song. With the rock music backdrop, I should say that this song turn out to be a Plea or Cry Against Racism!
Hope it will be made available soon.
Will someone put that video clip up on youtube?!!
