Massive jam BUT police turn out to be spectators

Police collecting banners? Collectors items?

New Opposition leader from UMNO-Dato Azahar from Penaga, Kepala Batas, sighted at demo

Rejected by voters-ex-DCM of Penang, Dato Rashid

Traffic were held up for 2 hours at KOMTAR bus stop



UMNO’s NEP has been rejected in the just concluded 12th Malaysian GE -so whats wrong when the new state governments make pronouncement to that effect?

Look like UMNO from the PM Badawi down still cannot accept the rejection of their policy-that’s why there was a short demonstration by some 500 UMNO supporters at KOMTAR!

The demo started about 2.30pm and ended about 4.30pm.

It disrupted traffic in KOMTAR and attracted a bigger crowd of police. 7 trucks of water cannons came after the crowd started to disperse-thus there was no untowards incident.

If NGOs’Opposition did the demo many would have been detained—so much for police’s neutrality!

It is strange for them to demo since they have all the channels to air their grievances thru TV, radios, and press under their control.

It is an abuse and also a way for rejected politicians to show their `loyalty’ in the hope of getting some goodies from the PM.
