Live? feeds and pics from Batang Ai (Lubok Antu?)

This writer apologies on behalf of bnmustgo for not putting up anything over the past month or so - we are too preoccupied with the vicissitudes of our personal lives (our bad) and also to wait for more 'interesting' developments from the sleepy camp (sighing in disappointment)....

Well, I hope what I plan to do next will in a small way make up for our collective unproductiveness.
With all the prominent guys and gals focussed on the 2 Bukits, I'll try to make sure that our very own Batang (River in Iban) is not left out, god willing.

This writer will try his best to not get drunk tonight (hence happy hour is a few hours early today) so as to be able to make the 4am, 4hr drive up to Lubok Antu in time to get ahead of our Pehin Sri and is helicopter...

Fingers crossed.. Fingers crossed also on my BB8900 camera being up to task (the writer with the DSLR unfortunately is currenty 'tied up' across the pond)..Also fingers crossed that there's sufficient gprs/edge quality up there for me to send my pics and messages back to the guy in PJ who, god willing, does not get too drunk tonight as well, for uploading onto the blog.

Show of Solidarity with the Rakyat of Perak... fancy a nationwide show of civil disobedience?

Civil disobedience according to wikipedia . .

Civil disobedience is the active refusal to obey certain laws, demands and commands of a government, or of an occupying power, without resorting to physical violence. It is one of the primary tactics of nonviolent resistance. In its most nonviolent form (known as ahimsa or satyagraha) it could be said that it is compassion in the form of respectful disagreement.

Civil disobedience is one of the many ways people have rebelled against unfair laws. It has been used in many well-documented nonviolent resistance movements in India (Gandhi's social welfare campaigns and campaigns for independence from the British Empire), in South Africa in the fight against apartheid, in the American Civil Rights Movement and in peace movements worldwide. One of its earliest massive implementations was by Egyptians against the British occupation in the nonviolent 1919 Revolution

Not suggesting that you go on a riot and get your skin burned by the yellow stuff that they put into the water cannon, lest you are left to rot in a 6 by 4 cell...
Something subtle yet full of that 'in your face' attitude...The following are some ideas




Najis will be hosting a CNY dinner in IPOH tonight. Do not boycott...go, finish all the food, get all the ang pows. When Najis makes an entrance, hoist your Mongol posters, shout C4 C4 and walk out en masse. Let him clear the tables alone with his usual entourage.

Same for all other official functions nationwide.
