Protest on fuel price increase!!!




There's a protest on fuel price increase in KLCC yesterday(Sunday) morning. They are more than 2000 people having a peaceful demonstration which is permitted under the federal constituition. However the government tried to use violence to crack down this peaceful demonstation. At around 11am, SMS about FRU, water cannons and people arrested are flying all around the country.



No mainstream media is reporting this news today(monday). This shows that how powerful our government is, that all the mainstream media is "working" for them. You could only get this news from the internet. Websites that reported including Merdeka Review, The Free Media, Malaysiatoday and Malaysiakini.

There's also a video uploaded by ntdtv.com, click here to view it.

According to the report, this is the biggest demonstration held since 1990.




I wonder whether the government need to take such a harsh approach to this demonstration! Horses, dogs are also brought to KLCC to stop this demonstration. the KLCC LRT station is closed yesterday morning to prevent people flocking to klcc to protest. Even a 7 year old kid is also arrested! I'm ashamed that such an incident happened in one of our country famous landmark!

I've got the latest update regarding this event. This morning, 500 people marched to the parliament to hand in the memorandum regarding this fuel hike increase. However they are denied entrance!
