Himpunan Sejuta Belia (Millions of Youth Gathering)

[zinglicious]

Any updates on the 1 juta or 1 juta setengah as promoted as such. Seen the overview of what there are people in and around Putarjaya Somehow, I dont see the aerial shots of 1 juta or 1 juta setengah orang muda where all tv station were there. In fact, many stalls were sponsored by the Media Prima which owns all private stations.

I am still clueless what the million gather there for because there were numerous programs that runs from Selamat Pagi with food stallsi to Larut Malam with concerts. There are so many programs from Flip and Flop where Ah Jib Gor giving performances on the stage as well as other ministars hip and hop from stalls and water activities under the courtesy of TV1 syiok sendiri to TV7 feel good.

Most of all, did the Chairman and his Petty trading men there to flip NFC cow burgers and fishing Sekinchan dishes while singing Chan Mali Chan?

got free t-shirt or not...

Ya, I got a free t-shirt....

The `gathering' was huge....but impossible to verify the number of people attending since it was spread over such a large area and over many days. 1 million people..possible. 2 million...doubtful.

[cml]

From the pictures at least 3 million people I think, maybe four. Including the not so young probably another 2 million. All in at least 5 million showed up to support. So I think the election can call immediately already. Sure to win with so much support. But then why are they talking about september now and not june? Maybe because they want to do better than 2004. Win by more than 90 percent.

ah yoh..should have gone....missed such a big event. ! It will be very special to see 7 to 8 million people there...though this info. no. cannot be verified as of now...

[cml]

If by their pictures, they say there are 2 million people there, then looking at the pictures from bersih, there must be at least 20 million in bersih!!

Hahhaaha ... as a former Govt servant, let me tell you how the Govt loves to count statistically, i.e. CUMMULATIVE TOTAL OVER THE WHOLE PROGRAM ... not simultaneous total/attendance ... so they only need 100,000 Govt servant to attend for 4-5 days (this total also include police, RELA, ambulance, tea-ladies etc ... ) .... 1 million viola ... been there, done that kind of "numbers" manipulation myself for my dept before ....

Sometimes there are triple-quadruple counting as one "belia" can attend 3-4 events at different venue on the same day, so he/she signed in at 3-4 places, so 3-4 people attended lah ....

[cml]

Ya if like that I attended bersih 3.0 a few times, sat down in central market, walked over to jalan sultan , sat there and walked over to menara maybank, got chased to the lrt station so must have been there 4 times in one day.!!

That's what I thought: 1 million people CUMULATIVE was quite possible.

Official repot from Putarjaya - 2.4 million for the five day event. Final countdown to be known next month - http://www.nst.com.my/latest/2-4m-po...hering-1.88606

How much space is needed to contain a million people?
Let's say one person standing would take up 1 meter square (draw a square 1m x 1m on the ground)

Take the Putrajaya Boulevard (Persiaran Perdana) where Merdeka parades are usually held.It is approximately 2 Km long and 100m wide. That is an area of 100x2000 = 200,000 square meters

Hence, we can put 200,000 people on that main boulevard (standing like terracota statues) in Putrajaya. Now, that is where most, if not all, the events were held - for a million people, you will need an area 5 times bigger. 2 million people, that is 10 times the area. So did they have 2.4 million people in that event area? I would say very unlikely

Bernama explained how they got the figure and from that you can see that they are just simple calculations. And they mentioned 2.4 million people "poured" into the "focal point". The Boulevard IS the focalpoint - I can tell you that it is IMPOSSIBLE to hold so many people on that boulevard.

Looking at the numbers from another perspective - the daytime population of KL is about 5 million ... are you saying HALF the KL working population can "pour" into that central boulevard?

Now that is why we ought to change our education system to teach people to THINK !

multiply this by 5 days and you get 1 mil. if include the other venues, there was enuf space to accomodate more than 1mil jor.......there you go

Were the youth there to cari makan, lepak aje, rempit, among the 38 major program which include boating and drag racing? What the theme? Sumore it ended with the battle of the bands. What's the objectif?
