Rally in KL to protest fuel price hike (updated)
KUALA LUMPUR: A large group gathered in front of the Kampung Baru mosque after Friday prayers to protest the recent fuel price hike.
The group marched towards the junction of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Dang Wangi in front of the Sogo shopping complex.
They then sat on the road for a few minutes before moving on to the PAS headquarters on Jalan Raja Laut.
A total of 889 police personnel stood watch but did not confront the crowd for fear of provoking unruly behaviour among the demonstrators.
The crowd dispersed at about 3.15pm shortly after reaching the PAS headquarters.
Earlier it was reported that about 2,000 police officers and FRU personnel were deployed near Kampung Baru and the Kuala Lumpur City Centre ahead of the anticipated fuel price hike rally organised by PAS.
Saya rasa kita kena MOGOK..
ReplyDeleteMOGOK kerja selama seminggu dan teruskan sehingga kerajaan menurunkan harga minyak..
Mintak semua majikan bersatu hati dalam menjalankan mogok ini..
Jadikan mogok ini agenda negara…
MOGOK nie lagi bagus, kau tak payah nak duduk berkumpul dekat PWTC ke KLCC ke, just tak payah datang ofis… duduk kat rumah aje sambil tengok TV… tak de risiko kena sembur gas pemedih mata dan air kimia dan tak dikejar FRU atau Polis….
