The proposed demonstration over MIED was called off after organisers failed to to obtain police permit.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former MIC deputy Youth leader V Mugilan made an about-turn today by cancelling his demonstration over Maju Institute of Education Development (MIED) issue.
The protest was planned as part of his “Save MIED” campaign.
When contacted today, he claimed that he had sent a notice of cancellation via SMS yesterday, but news agencies including Bernama claimed that they were not notified about the notice.
“We decided to cancel the demonstration yesterday after discussions with Bukit Aman police headquarters,” Mugilan said.
His SMS read:
“The Save MIED assembly scheduled for March 7 has been postponed to a date and venue which will be announced later.
” The postponement is due to concerns over security for supporters. Authorities have advised me to postpone the assembly as there is no police permit. The future assembly would be held at a hall. I will continue to struggle for MIED. V Mugilan Founder, Save MIED Movement.”
Meanwhile, the MIED meeting on Saturday to discuss about a proposal to enlarge the MIED membership base by adding another 10 members was held behind closed doors.
MIED chairman S Samy Vellu mooted the suggestion which came under fire from several members who accused him of wanting to hijack the party’s education arm.
