The rise of the Penguin Revolution

Is this the spark that would start changes from taking place, especially in the much maligned judiciary?

Just like the Saffron Revolution in Burma (involving monks), a smaller-scale-but-equally-peaceful protest march took place in Putrajaya, involving our lawyers (can we then call it the Penguin Revolution as they were all dressed in black and white?)

Anyways these lawyers defied the police, first by overcoming a road block and then by marching against police order to the PM’s department from the Palace of Justice, to hand in their memo. (Read reports here and here)

Never mind the fact that the PM was away at New York.

The fact remains that lawyers - some 2,000 of them - braved a heavy downpour and a strong police presence to stand united in expressing their desire to clean up the judiciary in light of the latest scandal involving the Lingam tape.

Will their action spark some life into a revolution?
