We, a group of concerned Malaysian Indians residing in California, are holding a peaceful rally in front of the Consulate General of Malaysia, Los Angeles to present red & yellow roses to the honorable Dato’ Seri Abdullah Badawi, the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

We request that a representative from the Consulate General of Malaysia be present to receive the roses on behalf of the Prime Minister;

Time: 10am – 2pm

Red roses would signify the Malaysian Indians love and peaceful struggle whilst yellow roses would signify the demand for justice for Mr. Uthayakumar, Mr. Manoharan, Mr. Ganabathirau, Mr. Kengadharan and Mr. Vasanthakumar, incarcerated without trial under the draconian Internal Security Act and for the rights of the minority Indian community who have been neglected for 50 years since the independence of Malaysia.

All are welcome.
