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.

Cop hurt trying to control crowd

KUALA LUMPUR: A police officer was injured when he was hit on the head with stones and broken bottles during The Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) street protest yesterday.

The attack on Dang Wangi CID sub-inspector Chew Choon Peng has left him with two gashes on his head with 12 stitches.

He is also suffering from bruises on his arms, shoulders and legs.

Chew was given outpatient treatment at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital. He is recuperating at his home in Cheras.

In agony: Sub-inspector Chew screaming in pain after being hurt during the protest in Kuala Lumpur.

An exhausted Chew revealed that he was caught off guard by the attack.

"A fellow officer was attempting to arrest a rowdy protester who was making derogatory remarks at our squad of 15 officers stationed in Jalan Hampshire.

"All hell broke loose when the protestor resisted arrest and I stepped in to help. The next thing I knew there was a sharp stinging pain on my head, and then I fell down," he said.

He commended his colleagues for quickly controlling the situation and dragging him away from the 200-odd protesters who had begun hurling motorcycle helmets and bricks at the retreating team of policemen.

But the violence fizzled out as quickly as it had started and the protesters, too, retreated in the opposite direction towards Jalan Semarak.

:'(

i really hope you are recovering well Encik Chew. Get well soon sir!

*footnote : Can racist people be shot away? I hate deleting racist comments. I hate racist people. Even NTBN.wordpress.com had a post condemning racist post on certain website. Can't the webmaster of that certain website remove it? I already inform you to take it off kan? Its not a confirmed news..so why still put it there? And why in such a way? eeeee!

can we stop the rumours?

Okay, i thought I can be offline tonight and get some rest. But this issue is just disturbing me too much. Congrats to all who made it to KL and Batu Caves today. Yes, for the very first time Indian Malaysians managed to come together despite all the problems. Imagine, 3 days of police intimidation, media 'propaganda' of instilling fear and a very-rare court order injunction. All this and yet we have no less than 20,000 Indians flocking the KLCC area. Few thousand more were turned away in Klang , Skudai and other areas. So we beat the odd. CONGRATS! Be proud.

In fact, the impact was far greater than the BERSIH rally which saw 40,000 protesters. Because every other International media is picking this story and made it a news headline, showing how the police reacted and the level of democracy in this country. Cool. So we are done. We may not be able to HAND OVER the memo, but we managed to grab the needed attention. Done. Cool. Happy. Very Happy. Congrats! Claps Claps Claps.

Seriously a beautiful shot

SO I BEG YOU GUYS ALL… please please stop the dubious SMSes. I don't know how all the Indians in this country knows each other's number, its like they have all the list of 2million Indian Malaysians handphone number. Everyone will receive the same message, more than once! Please. The fact remains :

• For now, the memo was not handed over. HINDRAF plans to send a 10-member delegation to London straight.
• It was 20-30 thousand people, not 200 thousand!
• No one died, at least what we know now. So stop saying and spreading that some people passed away bla bla bla.
• UPDATE : There was a bus burned slightly. Damn too much Tamil movies influence lah you! :p

Argh, i would just stop short with that. Plenty more SMSes flying around and let me tell you this, DO NOT trust it bulat-bulat. Take initiative to check if its true or not. Try MalaysiaKini , a good place to get non-rumour news item. It will give the whole community a bad name if we continue to regard every SMSes received as true. Even if it comes from me, in this page, take your time be calm and wait for official news if its true or not. Please?

in the mean time, lets feel good about the whole day. Again , remind ourself this fact;

The country loves you, and you love the country more.

Our sources told that at the pusat latihan polis Setapak, nearly one thousand people are being stranded there due to questioning by the police and buses being held. Other smaller groups are elsewhere around KL.
