Today there's going to be a march in Putrajaya. It's organised by the Bar Council and it will be from the grandiose Palace of Justice to the Prime Minister's office to hand him a memorandum calling for a Royal Commission on the state of the judiciary in the country. I would like to be there, donned in black and white too, to say "Enough!" But the boys have EYAA and I am the chauffeur, and I've got a date with my sis while they have their session.
In Myanmar, the protest marches grew from hundreds to ten thousand, 2o, 50 thousand, then 100,000. But now the junta have imposed a curfew and banned assemblies of more than 5 people in the two largest cities. The pictures and videos of the monks, nuns, students and other people marching in the rain in the streets of Yangon and other cities have opened the window to Myanmar for me, and my heart for the people there. I want to go there and march with them. I want to go there as scheduled in October with our group of 13. We wait and watch and pray: all things are in Your hands, O Lord. Let Your good and perfect will be done in Myanmar, let Your mercy and grace, righteousness and justice, peace and deliverance, flow to that lovely land and people in abundance.
And Lord, Malaysia, my country, too!
