Poor, poor Malaysians back home. Unlike them, we were a lot more fortunate. Peace rally here in UK only required us to notify the local police station, and then we were permitted to clog the roads just outside the Malaysian Hall. No tear gasses, no water cannons, at least nothing used in this scene we have below:

Instead, it was just the 20 odd of us on the road, a little bit of chanting and banner raising just so that passerby’s and those dining within the Malaysian Hall Canteen will be aware of what we’re doing… aware of what’s happening back home. Could have been more, but most are afraid, expected outcome really, as most were instilled with fear after today’s news emerged from all sources of the media.

Daulat Tuanku!
We’re just peace-loving people in general, really. Read more for more pictures and a true (and fairly humorous!) account of the event written by someone who took part in the rally with some friends, without expectations and just for the sake of his love for the country.
