Malaysians In London Protest Peaceful Assembly Bill

It was an incredibly windy morning at Belgrave Square.

That, however, did not discourage any hard-core Malaysian overseas.


They came with their banners and posters.


There was not a peep out of the Malaysian High Commission while the protesters chanted and waved their banners.


A couple of policemen kept watch at a respectful distance, but did nothing to disperse the crowd. Street protests were seen as a fundamental right.


Making one's dissent heard is far easier in the UK than in Malaysia.

LOL! In less than a week, you're already doing 'crunchy' stuff.

Why? Missing home, izzit?

That says it all for our "world-class democracy".

Thank you, Crankster, for braving the cold too.

Hi Ruth

Don't tell me it's cold but not comfy.

Thanks for that cold touch of London and your pics!! Keep warm
