Yes, it might be a publicity stint, it might be a hyped up event but nonetheless, it's still first of its kind in Malaysia. The crowd started to gather to collect the limited edition T-shirt about 5pm. It started to drizzle but fortunately, the clouds cleared up just before 6:00pm. After much waiting and loitering, TV host, Joey G...the handsome one...kick started the event. He did a great job as the host of the night. Fun and energetic.
The Walk of Hope started at 7:30pm after some marching band and cheerleading performances. It was an enjoyable 20 minutes walk around Cap Square. Met some TV hosts like Gary Yap, Belinda Chee and some well known figures in the entertainment industry like Yasmin Ahmad, etc. Buses and cars showed their support by winding down their windows and honking. At 8:30pm, we witnessed KL tower went dark, followed by Twin Towers. With darkness all around, the candle lights made a beautiful scene. It was an experience to remember.
For those who missed it especially CY), make sure you'll be a part of this event next year.
On another note, I am all out for energy conservation and saving mother nature but I must admit also that many organisations took this opportunity to make profit. So the best way to save mother nature still comes from each individual. Use less paper cups in the office (bring your own cup), re-use those plastic stirrer, do not print unless necessary and recycle used paper. If everyone plays a little part, it will make a big difference. http://earthhour.org.my/

I definately missed the event. hoping to join next year. pleading all my support to save mother nature in everyday's life.
i love the idea alot and i'm all out supporting this work of saving the earth.. but i'm very dissapointed with business ppl who take this opportunity to earn... afterall saving the world is all about money truly sadden by it.. "YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY YOU CAN'T SAVE THE WORLD" :) Joe-han
