Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia is launched! :)

People started trickling in as early as 5pm yesterday, by 6pm, the Rumah was already packed with people, despite of it being a working day and the crawling traffic caused by the rain. And I thought Malaysians don't practise punctuality!

Our merchandising booth was never left alone, until the official launch of SABM. And it started to get busy after that. :) THANK YOU ALL for your support. And we're indeed happy to keep the change. :p

We started the evening by singing our national anthem. :)

Haris presented the SABM charter after we sang Negaraku.

Everyone was listening attentively.




People keep walking in despite the rain.

After the SABM website was launched, The Core group of SABM had a Q&A session with the crowd. This is followed by breaking of fast together after the Maghrid prayers.

The former president of the Bar Council was spotted in the midst of the crowd. ;)

Malik Imtiaz was there too. :)

About 250 people braved the rain and traffic jam to make it to the launch. The atmopshere was light and easy. Everyone seemed to mingle easily with one another. Many were excited when they saw the SABM Tees and the buttons. Our mechanding booth was kept busy all the time, with many buyers whom gladly had us to keep the change, as all proceeds goes to the SABM fund, for future activities. To that, we smiled and said 'Thank you very much'.

What's SABM? To read more about the charter, go here and here.
The SABM aspires to achieve One People, One Nation, whereby we embrace our cultural diversity and move forward together as one people to see justice and equality for all. We support the voters registration and No2ISA, YES2ATA campaign. Check out our website for more info.
