The “LAST” of Chinese New Year Celebration?
[ 5th of February, Light The Street of Century-old Jalan Sultan! ]

On January 23rd, 2012.. while Malaysian Chinese eagerly welcoming the arrival of the Year of Dragon (壬辰龙年), pleasantly learning the news of additional inclusion to the National Cultural Heritage List, namely Penang’s “Giant Flags Procession” and Johor Bahru Old Temple’s Chingay.

City folks in Kuala Lumpur’s oldest century-living heritage street - namely Jalan Sultan, however are facing heartbreaking moments, receiving probably the “LAST” of Chinese New Year celebration. Until a week before the Chinese New Year, owners in Jalan Sultan suddenly received the final notice from the Land Office stating clearly that if the owners did not sign an agreement before 30th of January (9th day of CNY) , Land Acquisition Act will be imposed and the construction of the proposed MRT line will be bulldozed through.. hence the lost of the century-old street in the history of Greater Kuala Lumpur.

On 5th of February 2012 (Sunday 8:00pm), we sincerely invite you to come and light the street of century-old Jalan Sultan bring hope and courage to the people of this street, including those dedicated friends in culture, heritage & arts……SUPPORThttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif the people’s choice of re-alignment (to Jln Pudu / Tun Tan Cheng Lock) … OBJECT Land Acquisition (OLA)!!! SAVE KL Heritage!

Song: “Last Broadcast (Magnet Remix)” by Doves

Song Lyrics:
I was thinking about what you said
I was thinking about shame
The funny thing how you said
Cause it’s better not to stay
Sure enough if you feel nothing
You’re better off this way
Gets to the point where you can’t breathe
It’s the last word
I can see you understand

So here we are
At the last broadcast
Here we are
Our last broadcast

Sun on faces made us feel alive
The colours of the sky
Southern trees, made us enemies
Who knows the reason why?
You can’t escape yourself
You can’t just fall away
It comes to the point when you feel nothing
This is the last time
Cause I can see it in your eyes

So here we are
At the last broadcast
Here we are
Our last broadcast

This is
The last broadcast
Here we are
Our last broadcast
