A blogger shares the experience at Protes event on Sunday and thought that PAS and MCA are more professional in events management than Keadilan.

The intention of the organizers of Protes was good. But it lack professionalism in handling and organizing such big event. It would have been better organize if it was done in a team spirit effort.

I had to tell off two keadilan so called supervisors on two separate occasions that it was a waste of time, effort and money to start an event at 9am and called for two long breaks between 12.30pm and 5.30pm, first losing a crowd of 7,000 and latter 3,000. Only 30 hard cores like me stayed from 9am till 10pm. As usual they come up with lame excuses that I cannot comprehend.

I do not blame the pas volunteers from walking away from the arrogant mentality of Keadilan personnel. I take my hat off to PAS and MCA who are professional in handling any events they organize.

The fight that started when the rock band Carburettor Dung lead singer showed his boxer short was nothing out of the ordinary. This band had always done that in all their shows. The four youth in their twenties and an old man around 64 years old started to instigate that the protes was not a rock concert and took the slightest excuse to start a fight. Luckily the majority of the crowd did not agree and prevented the situation from growing big. One reporter and a few keadilan members were not so lucky and got punched.

Like all events organized by any political parties it has to be political.
