rethinking malaysia forum
UPDATED: more info can be found here.
ok i realised that the 3 events i mentioned below are taking place in penang. of course… since i’m a proud penangite. well, non penangites who happens to be in penang during those dates can join in.
ok lah, so to please others (non penangites!), here’s one interesting forum, which i’m sure will be in KL. the website info is so vague, just say email a certain person for free ticket but never mentioned the venue.
CnP from the bolehnation website:
Dear fellow Malaysians,
Jeff Ooi has been blog-criticizing the government for the past 3 years, and had also won the Reporters Without Borders Blog Award for Asia. Not long ago, Jeff Ooi, along with Ahiruddin Atan a.k.a Rocky, got sued by News Straits Time of Malaysia for defamation.
Yasmin Ahmad, creator of the Malaysian movies "Sepet" and "Gubra", was critized on a nationally televised forum. One of the members of the panel, a journalist, outbursted, "How can a good Muslim girl who prays and reads the Koran fall in love with a Chinese infidel?" Also at the forum, a film producer, stunned everyone by saying "Malaysia Melayu punya." on this NATIONAL TELEVISION CHANNEL.
The two, among many other prominent Malaysians, will be joining a "Rethinking Malaysia" forum/talk organized by Youth for Change and National Young Lawyers Committee.
Here’s your chance to meet them in person, SPEAK UP, and SHARE THOUGHTS! Feel the excitement of talking about the "untalkable"
