(Minghui.org) Malaysia Falun Dafa practitioners participated in the 2015 Taiping Peace Festival on September 20, 2015. They held “The Art of Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truth-Compassion-Forbearance) International Exhibition” and a signature drive to help end the persecution in China.
Taiping means “peace” in Chinese and was given that name by the British colonial government aiming to end bitter feuds between different groups of Chinese immigrant mine workers in the 1870's.
More than 2,000 citizens and many community leaders attended the this year's Taiping Peace Festival. Many festival goers showed support for Falun Dafa by signing petitions condemning forced organ harvesting in China and supporting the recent wave of lawsuits against former Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin for launching the brutal persecution of Falun Gong.
