12 Feb 2008 , At 10:30am, The 5 year Vwaishnavi Waythamoorthy arrived at the KOMTAR wearing Indian traditional dress while carrying a roses and she was accompanied by several other children. The purposes of her trip was to handover the Invite for Chief Ministry (CM) of Penang asking him to accompany her to the Parliament House on 16 Feb.
The groups meet up with the Press Secretary (PS) of the CM at the doorway to the CM office on the level 1 of KOMTAR Building. The Press Sectary accepted the invite along with the roses. The crowd aloud “Hindraf Valga “ as well as “Makkal Shakti”.
The accepting the invite at the doorway had annoyed the participants as not much consideration was put forward toward these friendly and kind gestures. They request to meet up the CM in his office which meet with light resistances but later a small group of 5 person including Vwasishnavi were allowed to present the invite to CM directly.
CM of Penang was selected because he is the non-bumi CM in Malsysia. She urged the CM to talk to the PM to accept her roses on 16 Feb. Till present the PM or his representative has not responded to her request.
However the Main Coordinate of Hindraf mentioned that, there rally will proceed with or without the Police Permit which was applied on 11 Feb. 2008. They will also proceed even if the PM is not present at the Parliament House.
This is a very peaceful gathering to shown the government the that Indian community are united and wanted PM and his government to address the 18 Point memorandum as well release the H5 imprisoned under the ISA act.
The event ended at around 11:30.
