Turnout for the FOI event

Yesterday's turnout for the Freedom of Information Campaign Launch was a non-event. In other words, almost nobody turned up except for friends of the people involved. Sad but true. It has to do with the last minute confirmation of venue, and also to do with the lack of commitment to this campaign. Either, most Malaysians are not prepared or even aware that there is a need for such an issue. Looks like we have our work cut out for us, going by how things are. And from what I'd gathered, it's the same for many other environmental-related events. Maybe environment is not high in the priority of most city-folks, not until they find themselves personally threatened. The ways of the world....


Sigh
