People Power

Today the UK government is going to vote on higher higher education fees.

Thousands of students are going out to the streets in front of Westminster to protest against the increase and the changes which wont help the lower income groups.

I long for the day where Malaysian students have such freedom, power and gumption.

To speak out and not be robots chanting "Aspirasi! Aspirasi! Aspirasi!"

When did the word 'Protest' become such a bad word in Malaysia?

The day our government said it was.

Big Brother is watching you.

British students are really the victims of the fees hike. Come on, three times the increase? That's crazy! I will go up the streets too, because the people have to bear the mistake of the government.
