Aiyah! Not four letter words-lah. KLFU stands for KL Freeze in Unison, whereas FWED stands for Freeze for World Earth Day.
It all started with Zain HD, who posted an event listing on Facebook and invited his mates to participate in the massive freeze held at Pavilion KL on 13th April 2008 (last Sunday). Groups of people would pause themselves at the same period of time at a specific location.
It was not an authentic event created by Malaysian(s). It was inspired by an event in the States - the Frozen Grand Central (The video was viewed by millions across the world via YouTube. Watch it, if you could not understand my waffling). Similar events were performed later in London, Paris, and other major cities.
Zain's intention was, in his words, "Where human beings get together to do something in unison, without speeches or reference to their age, colour, sex, beliefs and background." True, a great way to show global unity. (Spot the man himself in freeze)
After the success of KLFU, another Freeze event is going to take place today. This time round, there is a mission - Freeze for World Earth Day. The event seeks to create an impact and awareness for earth related issues. According to statistics, an average person uses 2,255 watts of power, or a little less than 23 x 100 watt light bulbs... A lot of power to be wasted. Just imagine if you could freeze the daily activities of as many people as we can for 5 minutes, that is a lot of power we will be saving!!!
It sucks as Politics are dividing us, I hope that a larger number of people would join this event, to show that people in Malaysia can be united, for a good cause.
"Freeze in conjunction with World Earth Day - Save energy by freezing people and power."
Date : Sunday, 20th April 2008
