What protest ?
I was told there was going to be a massive protest called today at 2 p.m. against the 30 sen petrol price increase.
According to very reliable eye witness report - basically - my boss, who just came back from lunch, the so-called protest is a non-event.
Apparently, there are more policemen than protesters.
From Level 70 of the Petronas Twin Tower, we actually couldn't even see the protest. What protest ???

actually there was a small group of protest at 3pm. i've read it from some girl's blog. oh, you worked at KLCC?
News from Dang Jin Da Ma
cheng sim: I've been told there's about 1,000-2,000 protesters. I guess that might be a big protest by Malaysian standards. I've seen much bigger ones elsewhere
anonymous: Thanks. Very good Chinese practice for me =) ... It was nothing like what I was told. I heard MASSIVE ... I was expecting 10,000s.
protest all the want but no changes will be made
foodcrazee: I'm under no illusion that protests would make any changes, but if we do feel strongly about something, I guess protests do provide an outlet.
Probably Malaysians don't think they have a voice or say, probably they have accepted the increase, probably they just don't want to go thru the hassle. Whatever.
Can you ACTUALLY see human beings from the 70th floor?! I mean, do they look like ants? Because if there were like 2000 people down there, you would still see them as a couple of ants, no? Hhahhaa :)
pelf: Surprisingly, you can see people and even make out the color of their clothes sometimes. 70 floors isn't all that high, after all, maybe about 300 meters up only.
From what I gathered, we didn't see the protesters because of the location where they were - we just face the wrong direction.
