Today (18th Aug 2008) will be the 2nd PTC for the 18 of us who are being charge for the illegal assembly and procession.

It is funny how things have change from 15 March 2008 till now..

Before 15 March Protest, I was just a supporter..

My handphone contacts list didn’t even have a single SDP member contact..

When the 11 were arrested, the first to make it to my contact list were the wives of those arrested. Namely Mrs Chee, Suraya, and 2 Charlie’s angels (except for Mrs Chee, that was the first time we spoke)..

Now , Dr Chee, Siok Chin and the rest..we are constantly in touch with each other..something I will never imagine afew years ago…

I acted as a bailor for the 11 arrested too. That was also the first time I spoke with many of them..some of whom I never even met before.

When I was called up for police questioning, I was showed a picture of us taken outside Parliament House, I was asked who is standing beside me. At that time I wasn’t sure who is he, it is only later on that I came to know that he is Sylvester.

I was also asked by the police if I surf and knew the SDP website..which at that time I didn’t, but I have since been reading up alot on the SDP website and I think it was a great website..(thanks to the police..for reminding and directing me to the SDP website)..

Now, whenever we meet in court for this unfair and unjust charge (as I will called it)..it was like a get together for all of us.. I guess..the 18 of us are the most jovious group to be charge in court..court 24 are always filled with laughters to the irritation of the police there..

Thank you Police..for letting me get to know SDP members and activists better..

Thank you Police..for bringing all 18 of us closer together..

Thank you Police..for reminding me to read up on SDP website..

Thank you Police..for allowing our friendship to develop..
