Cries of "Reformasi" reverberated across the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall last night as Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) chairperson Badrul Hisham Shaharin read out excerpts from a poem at the end of a letter by jailed former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

Badrul Hisham, who is better known as Chegubard, was a panellist at a forum on the Citizens' Declaration.

Lines from the poem cautioned the people not to despair, for every struggle will always give birth to traitors and "bootlickers".
