10.1. The power of an idea.
One very fine day, I observed that different groups were fighting to stop the Peaceful Assembly Bill. But to have any hopes at overturning this bill, we need massive pressure. So how do we achieve massive pressure? I thought of the Obama's Organizing For America campaign. Effective organization is key. We need to be way more skillful in organizing communities. Also, I realize that the general public doesn't seem to know anything.
In the end, we activated 14 local communities/cities all around Malaysia, from KL to Penang to Johor to Kuching to Kuantan during Christmas week. We now protest concurrently, Sat 2 to 3pm.
Not too bad :)

10.2. Finding myself in a position where I am drawn into the game of "politics". Only that this is not a simulation - it has real life implications.
Perhaps, I have only started to understand what politics is all about.
When you have potentially critical information, the power, and a group of people with you, what do you do?
What is your strategy? What direction do you take - to lead these people to? What responsibilities do you have? How do you 'win'?
