'Flash mob' at KLCC 1

OK, it wasn't a flash mob really. Some people had apparently known about it for weeks. Me? I only found out about it about 4 days ago. So anyway, to cut a long story short, the press had gotten wind of it and turned up with their gear and were just waiting waiting waiting for something to happen. A bunch of about 10-15 young Chinese guys mainly also hung around listlessly, armed with newspapers.

At 3:30pm, they rushed over to one rubbish bin, and the press guys scrambled after them. The participants (for lack of a better word) started dumping their papers into this one bin and the photogs started snapping. When the photogs rushed over there, people in the concourse were like, "What what what, what's going on?" and being good Malaysians, ran over to see what was going on. Whoosh! There were suddenly around 80 people swarming around the group.

The bin filled up quite quickly cos it was one of these ones with a really small opening at the top, so people just started piling (stacking) the papers right on top of the bin. Then a puzzled-looking security guard came over and just took the stack away so that people could put rubbish in it. The photogs took some more photos of the young guys and it kinda ended there, I think.

Anyway, here's the first video...
