The Boleh Blahhhh!!! Blog

Went for Friday Prayers at Masjid Sri Petaling which is about 5mins away from where I work at..every friday there would be food stalls set up by the entrance of the mosque so mosque-goers can have a quick lunch before or after prayer. This masjid is also commonly known as the tabligh headquarter for Malaysia. There are plenty of foreigners who came to this mosque to do tabligh , sleep and do ibadah..most of them are here on tabligh missions where they will go from one country to another. Back in the America, i’ve met some Malaysian tabligh who were on their journey throughout the states. My uncles from my mom side in Penang also are quite active in tabligh and boy did they travelled alot especially to places like vietnam , cambodia …enjoy the pics!

on the eve of 2006 new year, there was a gig organized by some of the local musicians intended to celebrate the positive culture of our local indie music scene into the wee hours of 2006. however at 10pm there was a bunch of cops stormed the place and arresting concert-goers and also innocent people who are lepaking in nearby mamaks under the pretext that they are Black Metal followers. About 300 people were arrested and hauled up into Brickfield police station and was forced to do urine samples and verbally abused yet not knowing exactly the nature of their arrest. There was no warrant and under Malaysian law this is considered an unlawlul arrest. On 2nd of January 2006, local musicians and like minded people gathered at Paul’s Place to hold a press conference condemning this unlawful uncivilized act by the authority that we all should blindly trust. I was there with Irene and i’d say hundreds of other local music supporters and listening to the panel of speakers giving their views regarding the matter. Kudos to Rafil Elyas and other who organized the Press Conference and bringing a sense of awareness and collective enthusiasm to local music lovers like us so that we can stand up and say no more to this abuse of power by our local authorities. Among the familiar faces that was there was Duan of Seven Collar T-Shirt , the front man from Furniture and tons of other musicians ( it was kinda dark so i cant recognize all of them) … here are the pics..for further updates on this matter please visit i-bands.net or jamtank.com for more information
