Looking at the pics from Phnom Penh. It warms the heart and guts me not to be there. This is a historical moment. There is a cause now.

Can I say there are about 2,000 people?

PAP IB Leongsam will be disappointed. Looks like the number of protesters will be more than his generous 30. Ha Ha

[h=1]LARGEST TURNOUT AT SPEAKERS CORNER FOR PROTEST AGAINST GOVERNMENT WHITE PAPER[/h]





A crowd of more than 3,000 people gathered at Speakers' Corner for a protest against the Population White Paper that was endorsed by Parliament last week.

Many turned up with umbrellas and caps, braving the light drizzle at around 4pm on Saturday afternoon. Organisers had lined up a list of 12 speakers, including activists as well as current and former opposition party members.
The White Paper had drawn flak largely because of the 6.9 million headline population figure. The Government has strenuously emphasised that this number is a planning parameter, not a target.
The first speaker was National Solidarity Party member Ravi Philemon.
Stay tuned for more updates.

I hope people can stop doubting sdp and give them a chance to get into parliament to stand up against pap. WP's constant performance as sleeping co driver is expected.

If you keep on describing WP this way, no way for SDP. SDP must stop this intra-opposition rivalry and focus on PAP. Otherwise will just consider it as PAP's Special Force.

Oh oh I think the PAP is in trouble

Oh oh I think the PAP is in trouble

2011 Election time opposition rallies turnout also good but in the end pap won 81 out of 87 seats.
Useless and balless sinkies cannot be underestimated.

 

[wendychan]

Well done! Much better than I expected.

30 = the number of men whom your mother had laid with to beget you? :oIo:
