Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival, a festival symbolics the family reunion. In thoes day, when communication and travels are difficult, family members tried very hard to come back on that day after a long time away from their parents. This practice may not so important nowadays as the family members could meet easier and more often, but family members will express their best wishes on this day to their beloved.
However, the festival this year is more meaningful to the Malaysian. The ISA detained 3 people just before the festival. Fortunately, the reporter is back after taking a police car's day tour from BM-->Penang Island-->Ipoh (U-turn back on the way to KL) --> BM Home. But, how are Teresa Kok, RPK, Hindraf members' and those are detained not because they had made something bad to the nation.
While Malaysian celebrate the festival with our family today, they also send all their best wishes to family who are unable to reunion due to this infamous detention-without-trial law.
The moon cake is delicious, but it also carry messages (since Yuan dynasty) that the PEOPLE's POWER is able to determine our own future in our country.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, 家和月圆庆中秋!
