Bangsa Malaysia Merdeka Get-together

August 24, 2007 – 3:09 pm

I was told of this bloggers gathering last night by my friend, a prominent Malaysian blogger. Well, I am so lazy to keep tabs of the local blogging scene by blog hopping, especially to blogs of socio-politics, but thankfully I could get my information on demand. I just have to send an SMS message to my friend, “Eh, tomorrow got any bloggers event ah?”

He told me about the Bangsa Malaysia Merdeka Get-together that is held in conjunction with Malaysia’s 50th Independence Day anniversary.

Event : Bangsa Malaysia Merdeka Get-together
Date : 25th August, 2007
Time : 8.30pm
Venue : Blog House (home of Malaysian All Blogs) No.66, Lorong Setiabistari, Damansara Heights, KL.
Admission: Free, by invitation only.
Light refreshment will be served.

There will be a forum entitled ‘Bangsa Malaysia : The Way Forward’ at 5pm at the same place and time.

Speakers on the forum are :

1. Dato Zaid Ibrahim
2. Zorro Unmasked
3. Jayanath Appudurai
4. Rocky’s Bru
5. Malik Imtiaz Sarwar
6. Azmi Sharom

If you would like to attend, then I am sorry that they do not accept new participants anymore due to overwhelming response. However, I believe that if you know of someone who has an extra pass or go as his guest then maybe you could just worm your way in.

The organisers propose to sing the National anthem as well. I asked my friend, will they be singing Namewee’s version? My friend said no, because they would then need someone to supply a pile of shit. If you watched Namewee’s video on YouTube, only would you understand this joke.

By the way, I don’t think that Namewee’s song is particularly offensive. I think that the media has blown it out of proportion.
