No Merdeka For Malaysian Wildlife!
So much for 50 years of Independence. All that was right and good and true, values taught by our forefathers are lost in today's generation of lazy, greedy Malaysians.
Here is what one Malaysian had to say about the atrocities committed by this nation in the name of development.
A Monkey's Last Stand
Bukit Melawati, 22nd August 2007:
Despite his patriotic stand, he will soon be stripped of his citizenship and banished to another country. Perhaps, our monkeys were already doomed when people in authority likened bloggers to them.
The Cabinet has literally signed their death warrant by withdrawing protection for the so-called urban monkeys under the Wildlife Protection Act.
How can we stand tall as a nation, when we so casually shrugged-off our responsibility to protect the weak and defenseless? Continue reading the monkey's plight here in a four page photo essay http://www.mycen.com.my/sightings/sightings220807_monkey.html

Hey , what are we going to do about this?
Shall we get volunteers (me included !) to dress up as monkeys, hit the streets on Merdeka Morning, and get people to sign a petition? With the crowd in the morning at the merdeka parade, we should be able to collect significant number of signatures.

Hi,
That sounds like a fantastic idea! We need more active (and loud) voices to speak up. I am sure people would sign the petition... I'd be the first. Perhaps we should even get an online petition running quickly?

Yes, agree with Sy and Loretta. Excellent idea. Sy, please write to me at remembersheena@gmail.com as I don't have your email address.
