Sea of yellow, protestors.

This is to mock the Prime Minister who said that he received a huge donation into his personal account from some Arab country.

Even Guy Fawkes makes an appearance.

Pray that the protest remains civil and there is not violence.

No violence so far, but the protests continue.

Protestors slept out in the streets.

Yups, that is right.

Any idea how long these protests have been going for? We are hoping to travel in to KL when our ship docks at Port Klang on November 6 to visit our nephew who is currently working in KL.

We are going to KL in February, 2016 no matter what. The people have a right to protest.

Yes, thankfully in Malaysia. Not in other Asian countries like China, Vietnam, N. Korea.

We spent two days in Malaysia on a tour from Singapore and found the people very friendly. The food in Malaysia is fantastic.

We are spending 4 days there early next month.

So today, we have the pro-Government group staging a protest to support the Government. Ironically, this group is a lot more wild and confrontational.
