Mistaken Identity

I get to know there are actually two parties involved in the Occupy Dataran Merdeka movement from the radio. Hence I wish to clarify it here to avoid confusion of my previous entry titled Free Education, Anyone?

It was told that there are actually two parties, i.e. "Occupy Dataran Merdeka" and "Abolish PTPTN" that camped at the Dataran Merdeka during the assault. My previous article were based entirely on the "Abolish PTPTN" and didn't realised there is actually another party involved.

As what I heard from the radio, "Occupy Dataran Merdeka" is basically a group of people who wish to exercise their democratic rights and have been occupying the independence square every weekend since last year. Their objective if not mistaken, is to have a venue where they can voice out and share political views.

Hence, in conjunction with the coming Bersih 3.0 sit-in rally, the "Occupy Dataran Merdeka" party planned to camped at the Dataran Merdeka until April 28th, which is the date proposed for Bersih 3.0 rally. It so happens that a group of students who wish to voice out their thoughts about the PTPTN are also camping at the site, along with the occupy party. Probably they hope that when both parties voice out their views together, it would be more visible.

While both parties share the same venue, however their objectives and actions are definitely independent between each other. I just want to clarify my previous comments on this incident.
