If you read Utusan, theStar or even NST, or watched TV3, you might thought yesterday rally was filled with violence. Let me tell you, there was violence, but from the police side. The following images says it all on what happened in Batu Cave early in the morning on 25th Nov. Credit to JeffOoi.com for the pictures.

All the protesters were surrounded, and was pushed into the temple compound

Temple compound was closed down. With all the protesters in it. Prisoners, in temple.

They started to shoot, with the protesters locked in it. This is what IGP Musa did not tell you. This is what mainstream media hide from you.

All in all there are 23-pictures, read JeffOoi’s Screenshots for the full details. Comments disabled here. Go to BMAHENDRAN

KUALA LUMPUR 25 Nov. – Perhimpunan haram Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) di ibu kota hari ini bertukar menjadi ganas, tidak seperti yang dijanjikan oleh penganjurnya dengan penyokong pertubuhan itu bertindak agresif melontar batu dan besi ke arah polis.

Kumpulan itu yang berpecah di beberapa lokasi di Jalan Ampang, Jalan Tun Razak dan Jalan Yap Kwan Seng sejak pukul 6.30 pagi tidak mengendahkan nasihat polis untuk bersurai, turut mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat dan berbau perkauman.

Sebahagian daripada mereka membuka baju dan melakukan pelbagai provokasi kepada pihak polis yang mengawal persekitaran bangunan Suruhanjaya Tinggi British di Jalan Ampang, di sini, tempat Hindraf dijadual menyerahkan petisyen kepada kerajaan British.

Okay fine, I can accept that. It MIGHT have happened. Okay fine. But you see, the stone throwing was at Batu Cave, not KLCC. So lets not confuse people.

Keganasan yang dicetuskan oleh para penyokong Hindraf itu telah menyebabkan empat anggota polis cedera, dua daripadanya parah akibat dibaling dengan batu dan besi.

Malah, sebuah jentera bomba yang melalui Jalan Yap Kwan Seng dalam perjalanan pulang memadam kebakaran di Pasar Besar Datuk Keramat telah dibaling batu sehingga cermin depan dan sisi kenderaan itu pecah.

Dicetuskan siapa? It was obvious that the peaceful gathering was provoked by the intimidating forces by police. Who shot tear gas at elderly woman? But at the same time, yes, a small group did cause injury to the policeman. Its bad, true. But how about the injuries caused by police to the protesters? A youth was sitting at the Pulapol for hours before given medical attention, he had a broken arm.

Pasukan polis terpaksa menggunakan gas pemedih mata dan bom air setelah peserta demonstrasi itu enggan mematuhi nasihat supaya bersurai.

Kehadiran beribu-ribu penyokong Hindraf itu jelas tidak menghiraukan perintah mahkamah yang melarang orang ramai daripada menyertai perhimpunan tersebut.

See, tear gas. How many rounds? I don’t know. Was it necessary? No. And by the way, the ‘perintah mahkamah’ said HINDRAF supporters can’t be within few metres radious from the British Embassy. KLCC is certainly not in that vicinity stated.

Perhimpunan haram itu turut menimbulkan rasa takut dan kegelisahan di kalangan warga kota, para peniaga dan pelancong.

Sejak seminggu ini, mereka terpaksa menghadapi kesesakan jalan raya berikutan langkah polis mengadakan sekatan jalan raya untuk menghindari anasir jahat memasuki ibu kota.

Expected, purposely used this to provoke anger from the public, so that they would hate any public rallies in future. Kan kan?

Hari ini, sebahagian besar premis perniagaan di sekitar Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) dan Ampang Park ditutup kerana para peniaga takut dengan sebarang kemungkinan yang bakal berlaku.

Selain itu, orang ramai dan pelancong terkandas tidak dapat ke tempat kerja dan destinasi pelancongan di sekitar Jalan Ampang berikutan perkhidmatan awam dihentikan sementara waktu.

Who to blame? Police or the rally protesters? And by the way, ITS A SUNDAY ! most of the shops there are closed by the way, normal stalls and restaurants are open as usual.

Jalan-jalan utama menuju ke Suruhanjaya Tinggi British turut ditutup sejak awal pagi ini.

Dalam perhimpunan haram yang berakhir kira-kira pukul 2 petang itu, seramai 241 penyokong Hindraf ditahan dan 105 orang daripadanya dibebaskan setelah melalui proses dokumentasi.

Kumpulan itu akhirnya menghantar petisyen mereka kepada kerajaan British melalui faksimile ke Suruhanjaya Tinggi British pada pukul 1.30 tengah hari.

‘‘Para peserta perhimpunan haram hari ini seolah-olah tiada haluan dan berpecah belah, sekali gus menunjukkan seolah-olah mereka tiada ketua,’’ katanya.

Berpecah due to the roadblocks and police actions. Sigh. Oh, they did send the memo? Thanks, I dint know that.

National mainstream media versus the international media. Hmmm. Comments are not allowed for this post. You racist guys out there for sure wanna flame and land me into trouble. So there…no comments! And see, because of that small portion of people who acted out of manner, the whole rally gets bad name.

4.32 PM : Those held for questioning was released unconditionally by the police, after the intervention from Bar Council lawyers. Everyone is released now, the youth who had his hand broken is sent to nearby hospital.

4PM : a youth in his 20s was beaten up badly, broken hand , and only given treatment after hours in detention! He was taken into custody and held at the Pusat Latihan pOlis , Setapak.

After 2Pm, when the crowd dispersed, police started to arrest any Indians within the KLCC vicinity , especially those who were having lunch at Pelita restaurant and Lotus Restaurant. Scores of people are being questioned now.

Uthayakumar and other HINDRAF leaders called the crowd to disperse off peacefully and the situation there is now under control.

Despite earlier calls made , they are still some groups gathering around the area and in KL.

Thank you. See you in later updates…

A good samaritan sponsored hundreds of mineral bottles to the protesters.

bmahendran : i really hope its over for now..tired too! Hope nothing untoward incidents will happen, please go back safely and remember, whatever happens, the country loves you and you love the country more!
