There were loads of Chinese citizens (not including Malaysian Chinese) came to KL to give full support to the Olympic! That's what I call the spirit of sport!!! They had huge Chinese Flags and they wore red shirts!
They ran around the Merdeka Square several times with the flags and said something like "Strive hard China" and "Go Olympic" in Mandarin... All these happened before the torch relay even started!!
Waving Chinese flags up the air...
Uncles and aunties from Perak also came to Merdeka Square to support Beijing Olympic that very same day, also wearing red shirts! These uncle and aunties might be physically "old" but their hearts were so young that their can beat the young ones anytime! "Wa respect sama lu!"
Then, something happened...
Well, believed to be residents of Malaysia, a Japanese man and his sister waved Tibetan flags infront of the Chinese people... Soon, the Chinese started to shout at them... Oh yes, before I forgot, the Japanese woman had a child beside her when it happened! I did not worry about their safety but I was more concerned about the kid's safety!
Anyhow, the whole thing did not spread into anything serious... The family were escorted away by the policemen from the location...
I managed to take some pictures of Jiang xiaoyu when he arrived at the Merdeka Square... Man it was a very hot day! "Cannot tahan"!
Well, I'm no reporter so I won't tell you what happened that day in detail... :)
But I managed to take some pictures of the torch bearer... not everyone of them cuz they ran, I walked... there was no way I would run with each of them! Crazy meh?!
The whole thing started at around 2 something in the afternoon at Merdeka Square and finished at around 6 to 7 something in the evening at KLCC (almost everyone was soaked in the rain! Why did it have to rain on that day?!)!
More pictures can be found at My Flickr!
It was a hot day but it was a fun day! Hmm sadly, I did not see many Malaysian flags around... where were the Malaysians?? You never know when such historical moment (It happened in 1964 too!) is going to happen again but I have witnessed it and it's great!
