Ahhh...this is so cool.....as the Penang government has finally joined in the ranks of the 1st world community ! Let's also hope the mentality of the general Penangites also "up-grades" in tandem !
Speakers' s Corner or Dataran Pidato ( curious to know why "pidato" or speech in bahasa Indonesia is used and not Bahasa Malaysia !!) is finally opened to the general public at the Penang Esplanade grounds yesterday as a handful "braved" under the ever suspicious and watchful eyes of a few plain clothed coppers mingling in the crowd ( frankly these SB's stick-out like a sore thumb anytime and everytime....for all to know....sheeesh !) with cameras and notebooks. Good for you daring folks who spoke there.
As long as your speech steers clear of profanities and racial slurs you're okay to bang-away at the powers-that-be at large ! Looks like a place you won't see the likes of that PERKASA morons and some monkeys-in-suits (read MPs) who enjoys banging his open right palm on his clenched left palm !
So there you go, Penangites, if you have an axe to grind with just about anyone or about anything, even if it is about your mother-in-law this is your "avenue". Just be warned that you will have a "thin" file stamped 1DP opened immediately with a recording of your grouses and your mug-shot in Peace Hill !
Cheers to the Penang government for this great initiative !!
