BOOK LAUNCH | Few Malaysians have suffered the systematic harassment that Zunar has.

Cartoon-o-phobiaIn an effort to perhaps stop Zunar’s supporters from protesting outside the police station, he was sent to one police station after another – seven in total – eventually ending in the KLIA police lock-up.

Zunar had to wait for his lawyer, Latheefa Koya, to argue that he should be released on bail. However, his lawyer was not able to find the court, which was in some quiet nook in Sepang. Those were the days before Waze and Google Maps. As they say, the power of one can achieve the extraordinary. Zunar is proof that one person can do an incredible lot to help bring change. Imagine thousands of Zunars.

It is important that we stand with those who serve at the frontline in our fight for democracy, like Zunar. We should let them know that their sacrifices are worth it, their work valued, and their efforts not in vain.So what’s next for Zunar? Well, if a comedian can be elected president in Ukraine, why not a cartoonist in Malaysia? Perhaps Zunar for prime minister?
