Reformasi: behind the scene

Z is doing her summer internship with some MPs.She'd come home with so many funny (and sad) stories.Iyalah kan..nak berjuang for a cause ni bukan mudah.

She applied to work with a famous BN MP and a famous PR MP.Both said yes but BN MP was a bit slow in affirming the internship with him so Z went and interned with the other MP.If it's not that, it could be with one of the radio stations (or yet another MP).

Anyway, last night at dinner she was telling me about this Chinese man whose job is to record rally pictures and news.He uses kamera murah je but his timing is always good to cater to curious Msian minds.Sekali tu one reader agak tidak puas hati dengan quality gambar lantas bought him a new camera worth RM10K or so.We thought that's so funny! (imagine orang tak kenal kasi you an expensive camera sebab nak tengok gambar bagus).This chap says kerja sebenarnya jual insurance.Pagi pi demo, petang jual insurance he said.One day his client called for something urgent, kat belakang tu bising bunyi reformasi! reformasi! (chap ni never disclosed apa kerja dia yang lain kpd clientsnya ...sebab no everyone is open to political rights of another yakni the right to choose which party one wants) so mamat ni beritau client dia he was trapped in a big reformasi jam.Wakaka.

And I guess that is how some of us live to survive.
