Candlelight Vigil Update
I got an SMS today in regards to the Candlelight Vigil called by the Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism. which states:
"Dear Supporters of the Candlelight Vigil, pls b infmd that based on advise of all the Senior MCCBHS n Govt leaders n the police the vigil will b suspended till further notice. The vigil has brought very positive results n v need 2 maintain that level n not allow it 2 backfire. The PM has agreed 2 look into this matter seriously. Thank u 4 the great support n v will keep u updated. Pls infm others."
For a nuanced alternative perspective you may follow A Vigil For What?
Of course, in the age of the internet you might want to continue some form of support by lighting a candle here .. which I will.
