Tapestry: The Voice of Youth
My first taste of ‘activism’ was four years ago, when my friends and I gathered in front of the New Zealand Parliament, or fondly known as the Beehive, to participate in a ‘Free Palestine’ march.
Along with about a hundred people or less, we peacefully and in orderly fashion marched down Lambton…

Blown Undercover - Perhimpunan Mahasiswa Negara 2011
(By Zedeck Siew)
Last Tuesday, being a card-carrying penyibuk, I went to check out Perhimpunan Mahasiswa Negara 2011, the big national student assembly sparked by Fahmi Reza’s Student Power lecture (about Universiti Malaya-based activism in the 1960s) and fueled by 30-odd wide-eyed, idealistic uni-goers.
PMN’s aim? To get undergrads to unite under, talk about, and fight for issues like academic autonomy, lower tuition fees, and freedom of expression — things every student has a stake in.
So, boleh jalan ke?

Why Can’t Kids Play in Dataran Merdeka?
By Zedeck Siew
In an interview with The Star on 2 Dec 2010, KL Mayor Ahmad Fuad Ismail talked about the importance of parks, and stressed the growing need for communal space. “People are living in condos and high-rise buildings,” Fuad said. “They have no space to breathe so they look to DBKL to provide them with a place where they can hang out, interact and relax.”
Contrast that cool-sounding statement with the mayor’s actions the day before. One the morning of 1 Dec, Fuad looked out his office window and saw 30-plus kids playing games on Dataran Merdeka. He threw a fit, and dispatched enforcers to chase the frolicking teens off the turf.
What’s with the mixed messages, Mr Mayor? If we need more communal space so much, why aren’t you letting kids play in Dataran Merdeka?

The Gampangs.
Orang ke sekolah, kami ke bendang
Orang ke tahlil, kami mengejar sunset di hujung kampung
Orang gelabah dewan blackout, kami mengepam nikotin di luar.
