Political activist and graphic artist Fahmi Reza has been on the road the past week or so, visiting different states and hosting physical classes of his #KelasDemokrasi in various universities around the nation.
The majority did not turn out great due to troubles with the management of the various universities.
Fahmi was supposed to have his talk at a public university in Kubang Kerian, Kelantan on Wednesday (November 16), however, it was quickly halted by the authorities.
UPDATE: #KelasDemokrasi di USM Kelantan tak dapat diteruskan. Pegawai PDRM dari IPD Kota Bharu bersama jabatan keselamatan datang hentikan kelas. Ini IPTA ke-8 yang sekat #KelasDemokrasi pic.twitter.com/dTMegeJABr

However, it appeared that he would not have to deal with more trouble in Kelantan as a kind soul had kindly offered for Fahmi to use his hall for free.
Taking to Twitter, Fahmi shared a DM he received from the hall owner. In the DM to Fahmi, the hall owner wrote, “I have a hall that can fit 500 pax, and I was informed that you’re in Kota Bharu. I give you permission to use it for free tonight.”
Aku dapat DM dari seorang warga Kelantan yang nak bagi aku guna dewan dia untuk #KelasDemokrasi for free malam ni!
Lokasi: D'Highway Hall, Pasir Mas. Kita start #KelasDemokrasi jam 9:00 malam. Terbuka pada semua mahasiswa dan orang awam. Jumpa di sana! pic.twitter.com/W3YLftobQN

Thanks to the kind soul who offered his hall for free, Fahmi managed to conduct his class democracy without any troubles, even though the police were there to monitor the situation.
#KelasDemokrasi berjaya dijalankan di Kelantan! Terima kasih kepada semua yang join kelas malam tadi. Salut pada pemilik dewan yang sediakan ruang percuma untuk kita! Terima kasih juga kepada pegawai PDRM dan SPR yang datang memantau tapi tak kacau. #RakyatAdalahBoss pic.twitter.com/IwEGJkzatQ
