Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia witnessed an event that became a global news breaking event. A demonstration of MPs at the Malaysian Parliament is suspended indefinitely.
Global news agencies hit hard on the Malaysian government for the blockade of MPs who were prevented from going to the Parliament. The reason given was to stop an illegal march. No one bought this argument, apparently.
“This must be the only “democratic” Govt that resorts to intimidation including bringing water cannon trucks, Fed Reserve Unit (FRU) with shields & batons, police at EVERY entry point to Parliament just to block 100+ MPs from going to Parliament. Where else are MPs supposed to speak for the people?”
This was what Kasthuri Patto, DAP Member of Parliament tweeted yesterday.
