English issue: 30 activists gather to protest

Only about 30 people, including several prominent nationalists, attended a gathering to protest against the teaching of Maths and Science in English in a Kuala Lumpur shopping complex today - a far cry from the anticipated 500.

The gathering started at 2.45pm at the Sogo complex and was over in 15 minutes - confusing journalists who came to cover the event scheduled for 3pm.

But the event did not lose its significance with the presence of national laureate A Samad Said, other nationalists, educationists and local politicians.

The gathering was calm even as the crowd started to swell with curious shoppers going in and out of the complex.
