HRP Opening of the Perai /Batu Kawan Operations centre in Penang

The Human Rights Party took another step towards its 15/38 objective with the grand opening of the Perai /Batu Kawan operations centre in Penang today the 20th of June 2010. The event was well attended by about 200-250 supporters whose energies you could sense focussing as the evening progressed and speaker after speaker overwhelmed them with the logic of the 15/38 initiative.

The event was handled by an extremely skilful emcee. His in-between comments were very well thought out and very appropriate. The speakers Sambu, Uthayakumar and Naragan swept the crowd off their feet with their words about the 15/38 initiative – explaining, clarifying, challenging, provoking, cajoling, coaxing and arousing the crowd. The Tholvi song sung by all the participants never fails to bring the blood rushing to the face, every time it is done. Two welcome surprises were the fireworks that interspersed the speeches at appropriate moments. The whole event was a very well conceived one, judging by the way the energies focused towards the end – as if in a crescendo.

The only thing that marred the event was the presence of several DAP gangsters. What surprises us is the manner in which the DAP is reacting to HRP opening stall in Perai. They seem to reacting with fear syndrome. These same thugs just the day before had physically assaulted one of our activists who was distributing fliers of invitation for the event. DAP is doomed to the dustbins with this sort of bullying tactics. Do not forget why UMNO/MIC went the way they did in the 12th GE. In any case Uthayakumar very succinctly put Ramasamy on notice- Ramasamy is looking at an imminent boot from the constituency in the next elections if he is foolish enough to contest again in this constituency.

The message of Naam, namake vakkalipom went through very sharply. These are but little steps. Watch for more in the months to come.
