MP Salasya vividly recounted the dramatic events that unfolded as protesters stormed Parliament.
He described how the usually serene atmosphere of the legislative building was shattered by the sudden influx of demonstrators, their chants and demands echoing through the corridors.
The sight of the traditionally composed lawmakers caught off guard added to the surreal nature of the situation.
Among the most memorable moments, Salasya shared, was seeing Ichung’wah, known for his calm demeanor and sharp suits, darting through the hallways in a bid to escape the chaos.
The image of him running, suit jacket flapping behind him, provided a rare and humorous glimpse into the human side of the politicians.
It was a scene that stood in stark contrast to the usual formality and decorum expected in such a setting.
The protesters, driven by fervent passion and a desire for change, had managed to bring the entire Parliament to a standstill.
Salasya noted how their presence forced lawmakers to confront the very issues that had brought the demonstrators to their doorstep.
It was a powerful reminder of the impact that civic action can have on political processes, even in the most unlikely of places.
As order was eventually restored and the protesters were escorted out, the events left a lasting impression on everyone involved.
Salasya reflected on the need for greater dialogue between the government and its citizens, emphasizing that such dramatic incidents could be avoided through better communication and responsiveness to public concerns.
