The Bar Council Constitutional Law Committee (BCCLC) is at it again. As part of the MyConstitution Campaign which has given us the Rakyat Guides and Rakyat Service Ads on elections, now comes Rock 4 Rights! Despite the questionable literacy of the title, it promises a rawkin good time!
Mark your calendars for April 2, 2011, when the MyConstitution Campaign climaxes at Rock 4 Rights at Fort Cornwallis, Penang.
Look out there too for the music album called Radio Demokratika which contains 12 original songs written and performed by 12 local indie bands, each a message on human rights, democracy and constitutionalism. They actually sound better than they read!
