Solo Activist Hunger-Strike Against ISA in front High Commission of Malaysia

Singaporean young activist Seeland Palay began a solo activity at the front of Malaysian High Commission Embassy this morning at 0900hr. Other activists are taking turns to support, visit and report his activity and keeping him accompanied. His on a FIVE DAYS HUNGER-STRIKE STATIONED BEFORE THE MALASYSIAN HIGH COMMISSION, AGAINST THE OPPRESSIVE ACTIONS BY BADAWI GOVERNMENT AGAINST INDIAN COMMUNITY, IN WHICH 10O+ YEAR OLD TEMPLE WERE DEMOLISHED ON EVE OF DEWALI HOLLY FESTIVAL, RALLIES WERE CRUSHED BY POLICE, AND 5 HINDRAF LEADERS WERE ARRESTED UNDER INTERNAL SECURITY ACT, 25 OTHER HINDRAF WERE ARRESTED AND CHARGED.




Seeland will only drink plain water for 5 days & 4 nights. He will station before Malaysian High Commission Embassy, less his toilet breaks. He will not eat until this action is ended after 5 days.



I arrived with Seeland and other activists on taxi just before 0900hr today, and helped him to setup seats etc. The embassy's guard came out to find out what's going on. And apparently called the famiLEE LEEgime police (which ISD plain clothe matas were already there before we arrived, because Seeland issued Press Statements yesterday.) I video a police car parked near by with 2 uniformed matas at 0920hr.


Before 1000hr, High Commission's officer came out with a head security guard (Chubb Security Company) and he took pictures and video of us. Security head asked Seeland to move further away from the High Commission's entrance, and Seeland was happy to shift into a shade few meters away.


We later shifted again by few more meters just to take shade.


There was a constant stream of supportive phone calls; visitors; reporters & photographers from Singapore as well as Malaysia. Just before 1100hr, famiLEE LEEgime matas & the plain clothes were all withdrawn from the scene, and obviously mata petrol cars were instructed to stay far away from media's activist's cameras. But several petrol cars were seen down the other road passing. For one moment, one mata petrol car made a wrong turn, and then it's own way reversed out!



LKy's famiLEE LEEgime I believe had eventually learn smarter by not getting the craps of Badawi Govt into their own face. The 154th Straits Time today published propaganda in support of HINDRAF as well. :-)





I left the High Commission at about 1230hr to come to post upload videos on my blog and publish it. It took me hours to upload these stuff.






As I am still uploading these video, I got SMS informing me that famiLEE LEEgime's mata arrived to serve warning to Seeland. SDP's guys were on the scene supporting. Time now is 1535hr. I am actually standing by to take over from Seeland to continue HungerStrike & protest there in the event he got arrested :-) if they arrested me I will refuse to post any bail an continue HungerStrike in jail until I am satisfied.






The famiLEE LEEgime's mata Investigator in plain clothes left after serving the formal warning. And I believe the other activists at the scene caught this on a video clip which I will ask to be uploaded on YouTube. :-) To be available online by tomorrow.
