Freedom of speech is not as much as the average person may presume.
During my visit to KL, we happen to bump into a preplanned rally demostration in KL for the recent price hike. The statement of gathering a million people to rally against this seems a powerful force, one that even the police trys to stop or delay. Our long taxi ride up to Klang saw a series of road block just like the ones in the picture.
Is it deterance of just routine checks? For a person living in Singapore, i do not know. However the courage to gather and fight for rights is extremely important. We do not have that in Singapore are well "disciplined" and basically live the "change again? Ok i can live with that" mentally.
I just hope its a peaceful demostrations and nobody got hurt.
