Organisers expect 20,000 people to attend rally for Palestine

We live in a country where special rights of the majority cannot be questioned. We live in a country where quotas determine educational and governmental participation. We live in a country where the minority is banned from using certain words and our children could be legally kidnapped and converted. What I saying is, are these really the type of people who should be advocating for justice for the Palestinians?

Malaysiakini : About 20,000 people are expected to join the Malaysia with Palestine Rally at Axiata Arena Stadium, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, tonight.

Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (Abim) president Muhamad Faizal Abdul Aziz said the gathering is scheduled to begin with maghrib prayers, followed by a hajat prayer led by Palestinian Qari and Imam, Shaykh Rami As-Sousi.

"The gathering will focus on the speeches of leaders of NGOs and political parties representing Malaysians, while the highlight will undoubtedly be the speech by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim himself," he said.

With Abim and Global Peace Malaysia as the main organisers, the gathering scheduled from 7.30pm to 10.30pm will also involve more than 40 NGOs such as Malaysian Humanitarian Aid And Relief (Mahar) and the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organisations.
