the walk is ON
Walking the Talk. The organisers of the Walk for Media Freedom never called off the walk. The only thing we changed is the starting point for that walk.
Originally, we had asked you to begin your walk from the big flagpole in Dataran Merdeka. From the start, we had said there would be no assembly.
After consultation with the cops, the organisers agreed that those who wish to walk can start from anywhere (but the flagpole). Meaning, you can start your walk to the NPC from wherever you park your vehicle or from the nearest LRT/bus station. If you are coming to the National Press Club by cab, tell the taxi driver to drop you off 500 m or 1km away so you can walk the rest of the way to the clubhouse.
There are limited parking lots at the NPC so we advise you to park your car at the underground car park at Dataran or at Padang Merbok.
Me, I am going to walk from the NPC to Dataran Merdeka, maybe make one big round or two there, and then walk back to the clubhouse for the talk. Around 9.15 or so.
Let me recap:
The Walk for Free Media is ON.
Time 9 am onwards. Start anywhere. Destination the National Press Club
The Talk on Free Media is ON.
Time 10.30 am. Place the National Press Club
Breakfast is ON
from 9.15 am at the NPC
LANGUAGE for Sunday talk at Press Club.. Invitations to members are in English; can anyone tell me what will be the main language of speakers including Zaid please? Is this p;anned as an English--speaking event, or Malay or a combo?

Freedom of Speech and Independent media for all!
ReplyDeleteWe should ask why cannot walk from Dataran.
ReplyDeleteIf cannot walk from Dataran..can we gather at Lake garden and walk from there?
Stupid excuse to call off the walk.
Next time... media people can walk alone.
At a time when we are fighting for more democratic space, we have people licking the hands of the @$$holes
Imagine the nation's biggest flagpole
ReplyDeleteCannot be a happy children's maypole
To dance happily around the pole
To gather quietly beneath the pole
