The organising team wishes it could have hosted the entire Malaysian population to this get-together.
Maybe the next one.
For the 25th, the event can only accomodate 200 people and attendance is by invitation.
The organising team has also put together a forum / workshop entitled ‘Bangsa Malaysia : The Way Forward’ that is scheduled to take place at 5pm on the same day and at the same venue. It is hoped that the participants, numbering at most 30, will stay on for the 8.30pm event.

If Jocelyn thinks that there is a seriously racial biased person fit to be the next ‘most watched politician’ then I suggest she wakes up and look around!
Fortunately there are still some Malaysians out there who can differentiate ’sandiwara’ from truths!
I hear if KJ thinks he can do a quick one on the rakyat, maybe he should contest for MP in the Lembah Pantai constituency!

Several of us from CTT would like to join and participate in this Bangsa Malaysia Merdeka Get-together.
As for your question on Bangsa Malaysia. Who are the antagonists? Can we compile a master list for all to see?
Could CTT prepare such a master list ( we could actually call it a shame list )? That would be very good for the forthcoming elections.
Could I trouble you to send in an e-mail with the names and particulars of those who would like to join us on the 25th?

I wish all a good gathering. It is a good start even though we may have to walk in the dark valley for awhile in our quest to be a Malaysian, period. Let us also ask for the grace of God to be allowed for such a begining to happen.
I would not be able to join in though.

Greetings,
Blogs have blossomed, replacing tattered old diaries, and one of the most popular subjects seems to be the state of the nation. This phenomenon has become so popular even MP’s have jumped on the bandwagon, although any MP that has time to blog is probably not spending enough time in his constituency, but that’s just being cynical.
From the effects of the petrol price hikes on the cost of teh tarik to downright serious observations on the independence of the judiciary, nothing seems to have escaped the attention of everyday Malaysians. And since staid and sombre people are more prone to be irritated, this writers spends a fair few hours everyday trawling through their articles looking for bones to pick. In the aims of improving the current state of the country.
After leaving many anonymous comments in various blogs/forums and feeling smug about himself, this newbie, has noticed that a fair few of these political commentaries come from writers/groups of writers who have had/are still putting great effort in breaking the bearer and fight the right for freedom after speech and have a say as a citizen of Malaysia and as a human in whole.
These has motivated me, as a youth, a student and as a citizen of Malaysia to challenge myself, and write to express the feelings and support what many great bloggers, namely yourself, Jeff Ooi, Nanthaniel Tan, Rocky’s Bru and many more. I hope I would be able to contribute towards this fight for a new Malaysia. And I seek guidance and insight from all of you. And I would like to thank you all in advance for it.
I would email you a.s.ap. on the invitation to join the forum/workshop followed by the gathering. Cheers.

First, Wishes and prayers for a successful first attempt! It is true you have to start somewhere.
Second, For future meets, please kindly consider a wider gathering. Find a place where ordinary Malaysians can come rather then limiting it to just 200. Cast the net more widely rather than preach only to the converted.
Third, If there must be speeches, try to make the speakers panel truly Malaysian. Bangsa Malaysia consists of many other communities.
