RAHMAT Haron is known for his poetry, his art performances, and his hair that reaches all the way to the floor.
It was the last that came under the spotlight last night as the artist and activist made good on his word to cut his dreadlocks off should Barisan Nasional lose power.
Rahmat was separated from his dreadlocks, which he had grown for 20 years, in front of his friends.
“I do feel sad, but not to the extent of not fulfilling my promise,” he said. – June 5, 2017.
