Despite the arrest of five workers and police “takeover” of the tent where the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) hunger strike was to take place, the planned three-day hunger strike has begun. It’s being led by ousted Perak mentri besar Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin.
But riot police later arrested over a dozen people including eight PR elected representatives who tried to lead a march from the DAP headquarters to the Ipoh High Court.
They included dumped assembly speaker V. Sivakumar, Ipoh Barat MP M. Kulasegaran, Kedah DAP chief Thomas Su and Perak PKR deputy chief Chang Lih Kwang.
Kulasegaran was taken with into the truck with the others despite insisting he was simply “walking” not “marching”.
Meanwhile, the tent was taken down by Ipoh City Hall workers.
