Labour Day: Maju Junction arrests

  • 9 years ago
PSM's Sungai Siput MP was among about 20 political, labour and rights activists and leaders caught today in a police dragnet on what was supposed to have been a May Day march in solidarity for workers to call for a minimum wage law.

Dr M Jeyakumar Devaraj (left) had just arrived this morning at the corner of Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Dang Wangi, near the Maju Junction shopping complex when, after a few minutes of talking to the police to persuade them to let the group march, Jeyakumar was arrested and taken away.

Apologies: We had mistakenly named Sevan Doraisamy as Sunther Akishnan. We apologise to both gentlemen. Please accept our apologies.
