The Sunday event at Dong Zong attracted a huge crowd from all over Malaysia. it was estimated more than 10,000 people turned up for the assembly. Although traffic was heavy (together with the people attending Sunday masses at the nearby Holy Family Church Kajang), traffic was not bad. Kudois to the traffic policemen and Rela members. it was also very organised and peaceful.
Until the next time, cheers.

Dr Wee: My duty to listen to problems of the community
KAJANG: Police did not receive any report of violent crowds
at the gathering at the United Chinese School Committee's Association
of Malaysia (Dong Zong) headquarters here Sunday.
Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said: “We are aware that Dr Wee (Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong) was jeered when he arrived, but the crowd was well behaved and no arrest was made."
A big crowd turned up at the rally protesting the shortage of chinese vernacular school teachers.
The crowd did not receive well Dr Wee's presence and there were jeers heard.
“It
is my duty to listen to the problems of the community. Despite attempts
by certain parties to create havoc today, I'm still listening,” Dr Wee
told a press conference later.
“We acknowledge the shortage of teachers, that's why I'm here today,” he said.
On
the attempt by a man to punch him, Dr Wee said he was lightly hit on
the face. "But I was saddened that the scuffle happened," he added.
