Just another day in Perak - Anil Netto

Just another day in Perak

Speaker Sivakumar tries to convene the Perak State Assembly near the Democracy Tree, but the Pakatan reps are blocked by police and later hold a session at the Heritage Hotel – Photos by Kinta Kid

Photo story:

  • The entrance to the State Secretariat building is solidly blocked.
  • The Democracy Tree is also out of bounds for the Pakatan reps.
  • Pakatan reps nonetheless proceed to the Perak State Assembly at the State Secretariat complex.
  • But they are blocked by the now familiar police officer, Glenn.
  • “Do not go any further”…
  • … unless you have a yellow T-shirt?
  • … like these guys.
  • … from this team.
  • Walking two by two is not allowed either.
  • Otherwise you face arrest – Ngeh was the first.
  • Keshvinder was next.
  • And then Chan Ming Kai, who is seen here being handcuffed.
  • At the Heritage Hotel, the Assembly begins at 11.40am.
  • The yellow-shirted guys gather outside the hotel…
  • … while inside, 24 of the Pakatan reps (excluding the three arrested reps) participate in the Assembly session
  • The unoccupied chairs are actually meant for the BN reps…
  • … the Pakatan reps on the left, the BN (absent) on the right, and the media personnel on the sidelines.
  • It was an orderly meeting…
  • … nothing like the one on 7 May!
  • And it was all over by 1.40pm…
  • …followed by a press conference.
