Some 100 people turned up tonight for a vigil near Bukit Aman to call for the immediate release of the PSM 6.
Police, however, told the crowd they would no longer tolerate vigils and ordered those present to disperse or risk arrest, according to Tony Pua in a tweet. Candlelight vigils, it would seem, are a security threat. Candles in hand, the group then walked to the Lake Gardens.
They lined up along Jalan Tangling and continued to demand the immediate release of the six PSM activists.
After being chased away again, they then strolled to Jalan Parlimen, said the DAP MP.
Tony, in his address to the crowd, described Dr Jeyakumar as “the most gentle and genial MP I know in Parliament”.
The group later dispersed peacefully at 9.00pm.
