PSM 6: Candlelight Vigil

PSM (Parti Socialis Malaysia) or Socialist Party of Malaysia is a party that carries the mission to embrace Socialism Ideology- which social equality and distribution of wealth based on one's contribution to society, and an economic serve the interest of society as a whole.

One of those dark days on July 2nd, PSM 6 were detained without trial under Emergency Ordinance. It was alleged that PSM was a danger to the public as it was planning to revive communist party and topple the government by starting a revolution. The man in question Dr. Michael Jeyakumar, the Sungei Siput MP was also accused of plotting to overthrow the King. Till date, his health deteriorates and kept in isolation under 1969 Emergency Ordinance (EO) of Malaysia.

Among the activists who were detained without trial with Dr. Jeyakumar are PSM Deputy President M. Saraswathy, Central Committee members Choo Chon Kai and M. Sugumaran, Youth Chief R. Saratbabu and Sungai Siput branch secretary A. Letchumanan, collectively known as "PSM 6".

For many nights, PSM held their Candlelight Vigil to protest the absurd detention of PSM 6. The nightly affair, started with family, opposition, PSM members and friends gathered in front of Bukit Aman federal police headquarters. Last night, the affair had augmented to 200 people gathered at Dataran Merdeka.

"Hidup hidup! Hidup Rakyat!"

"Mansuh mansuh! Mansuh EO!"
"Mansuh mansuh! Mansuh ISA!"

adjoining chanted.

this post has been banned from PhotoMalaysia forum, the reason being was i'd used the forum for political discussion. Despite i'd explained that i was merely reporting an event sighting at Dataran Merdeka, also i'd agree to remove all wordings, stills, it was prohibited. Notwithstanding, numerous of BERSIH threads flooding the forum and a 2008's Anti-ISA thread. i still waiting for an answer from the moderator that'd banned the thread.

Would i received another warning or action for publishing this? For i was just reporting exactly what had happened?
