It’s a lone ranger: A silent, solo protest yesterday by an unidentified man outside the Perak state government complex - Photo courtesy of Kula’s blog, which has the full story here.
It was a day of solo protests yesterday - in Ipoh and Penang. A single-person protest cannot be deemed to be an ‘illegal assembly’, right?
In Ipoh:
In short notes to (Kula’s) Political Sec in a piece of paper, he wrote “People 1st, Performance Later” and also “I don’t support any party. Just as Perak Citizen, all I want is 4 my state to be at peace. Just make the people who can do something, do it now.”
And in Penang, a similar ‘lone ranger’ protest was undertaken by a Penang Pas member who spent eight hours up a tree opposite the Penang State Assembly.
“What BN did in Perak was a rape of democracy that we all cherish. It was blatant disrespect to doctrine of separation of powers,” he shouted from the tree.
“I am here atop a tree as a Malaysian and a Penangite,” he told Malaysiakini.
