Almost 100 cyclist from a people's rights network coasted into the Parliament compound yesterday. The cyclist from the Oppressed People's Network or better known by their Malay acronym JERIT (Jaringan Rakyat Tertindas) were allowed to enter the Parliament in groups of 20 at a time to hand over the memorandum for better laws to safe guard the public.
It was a nice gesture that some MPs took time off their busy schedule to escort these activists as they make their way into the Parliament House. All the MPs were from the Opposition. Goes to show what the BN MPs stance is on human rights issue.
The only untowardly incident that happened on that day was the arrest of a 39 year old cyclist who hurled abusive words at policemen who had initially denied them access. Kuala Lumpur City Criminal Investigation Department chief Senior Assistant Commissioner II Ku Chin Wah said that the cyclist was detained to have his statement recorded and was later released.
Not bad for a group of harmless cyclist. Ever since they started their journey, they have managed to get the attention of every states high ranking police officer to make press statements. These cyclist are getting more attention from the police than the rising crime rate is.
To all politicians and ministers.....
