The torch relay has been met with hostilities and disruptions in western cities. The outrageous protests in London, Paris and San Francisco were insolence shown to the Chinese people as the Olympic Games is supposed to be a gift for the people of China. The rude and unfriendly gestures were also a form of political discrimination towards the country. Despite the ordeal, the "Long March to Beijing" continues as the Chinese, as well as the Olympic spirit, brave through the challenges.
The people of China has been enthusiastic about the Olympic Games. But their kind intention did not get matching response in the west. Their hospitality was met with inhospitable treatment. Their friendliness begets unfriendly attitude. The oppositions are directed at the wrong target for the wrong reasons. I couldn't stand to watch it! Jin jia si kua buey lok ki! (Fujian/Hokkien) Ngo tai em lok hoi! (Cantonese) So I want to show my support for China's Olympic Games. I will be in KL this April 21!
I will not be alone to come from the down south. The Chinese societies in Johor Bahru will be travelling to KL on the morning of April 21 to support the Beijing Olympic. But I will not be travelling with the group as I'll be driving my own car to KL on April 20.
Those who're in KL, show up in FULL FORCE for the Olympics! Those who feel the same, those who're interested, those who care, and those who can make it to KL, COME SUPPORT THE CAUSE! Just wave the Olympic flag. Wave the Chinese national flag. Wave the Malaysian flag. And wear red on that day.
The opening ceremony will begin at 2pm at the Merdeka Square and end with the closing ceremony at 6pm. Armed with a 3G phone, a 3G unlimited data plan and a notebook, I will be bringing my blog readers LIVE coverage of the event by transmitting LIVE images from the sites and videos will be uploaded later that day. If everything goes fine, without connection or device problems, the update will begin as early as 1pm Malaysian time.
Anyone here lives in KL? Greendragon?? Markwu??
