V for Vendetta mask flashmob for NY eve countdown

dasgun — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 22:28:25 +0800

[from Malaysiakini]

Guy Fawkes to hit Dataran for NYE countdown
Aidila Razak
1:36PM Dec 28, 2011

If the organisers behind this flashmob get what they want, there will be a sea of people in Guy Fawkes masks at Dataran Merdeka on Sunday, which is New Year's Eve.

In a posting on Facebook, the unnamed organisers of the V for Merdeka flashmob called on Malaysians to don Guy Fawkes masks in symbolic protest to demand "real democracy" in 2012.

"We will stage the final dramatic scene in the film V for Vendetta at Dataran Merdeka to show our common outrage against the many injustices and anti-democratic events that happened in Malaysia in 2011.

"We want to collectively say enough is enough, time for real democracy now in 2012!" the organisers say in their posting.

In the final scene of V for Vendetta, a popular film released by Warner Bros in 2006, the British Houses of Parliament are blown up in a bid to restore freedom and democracy.

The explosion occurs as fireworks go off to ring in the New Year, watched by thousands who don Guy Fawkes masks.

In the film, V, a revolutionary who goes against an oppressive government, wears a Guy Fawkes mask to hide his identity.

In the 1980s comic book series on which the film is based, V is an anarchist who aimed to systematically kill the fascist leader of a dystopian United Kingdom.

The mask has since then been adopted into pop culture as a symbol of rebellion against oppression and is also used by hacker group Anonymous and recently, those in the global Occupy Movement.

'Governments should be afraid of their people'

"Don't worry, there won't be any bombing! But there will be a symbolic building with a clock tower, fireworks and...V," the posting says, referring to the film's protagonist.

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

Those interested to join are urged to print out cut-outs of the mask posted on the site by the organisers.

"Put on your V masks during the countdown to midnight and watch as the fireworks go off. Our video and photo teams will capture this reenactment and spread it all over the world!" the posting says.

As of late this morning, 154 people have said that they would be attending the event.

The flashmob is linked to the Occupy Dataran movement, which is an independent grassroots youth initiative to "reclaim Dataran Merdeka as an open and democratic space for the people".

dasgun — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 12:20:29 +0800

Hi

I was wondering is there a chinese-malaysian hip hop dance scene in KL?

If yes, do you know or can recommend any?

Thanks!

Chinese singer/bands needed -- suggestions please?

dasgun — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 01:16:03 +0800

Hi!

I'm organizing a charity event for youth in Chow Kit and we're looking for a Malaysian (KL-based) chinese act.

Can you recommend any local Chinese bands or singers? I have no idea what Malaysian-Chinese teens listen to...

They can be singers/bands that sing in Chinese/English/Malay. Preferably pop-ish songs.

Thank you!!

Top 10 Myths about Merdeka!

dasgun — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 14:06:14 +0800

Check out this very short post about merdeka myths by Fahmi Reza, the guy who did '10 Tahun Sebelum Merdeka'. It's very funny but at the same time very enlightening. It really made me question the "historical facts" that they teach us in school...
