In a tiny corner of London, a band of protesters livened up a somewhat gloomy Saturday with chants, cheers and urgings for the Sedition Act’s immediate abolishment.
Nearly a hundred Malaysians converged on the Malaysian High Commission that weekend, in solidarity with the Bar Council’s own walk two days earlier.
Mostly students, they were armed with signs, banners and opinions. People came from all over the United Kingdom; including students from Leeds, Cardiff, Reading, Bristol, Nottingham, Warwick, York and Southampton, among other places.
The Cardiff contingent got up before the chilly British sunrise to catch a 4.30am bus to London. Students from Nottingham caught a cheap 5am train. An enthusiastic group from Leeds endured a five-hour bus ride.
Yet for a crowd that didn’t get much sleep, the chants were spirited and the speeches were loud. Cheers of ‘Mansuh, mansuh, Akta Hasutan’ or ‘Abolish, abolish the Sedition Act’ turned heads on the streets.
