TOKL visits #OccupyDataran

Posted on Apr 20, 2012 by Emma & Wai Yeng

Today we stopped by the #OccupyDataran encampment to speak to the activists and see what’s happening for ourselves. What we found: a group of exceptionally well-spoken students, advocates of democracy and general citizens. (Excusably scruffy – they’ve been camping out there for six nights.)
