The recent fuel price increase has proven perhaps too much for the rakyat. At approximately 2.30pm today, a crowd gathered in front of KLCC to protest the recent fuel price increase of 30 sen per litre. This is the second demonstration since last Friday although that demonstration did not appear on national TV or national news.
It was a peaceful demonstration by the rakyat holding banners in protest of the price increase. The FRUs were at the scene of the demonstration and there were press taking photographs although I suspect these were foreign press. A helicopter also hovered around the building during the period of the protest. Looking at the various banners, it was obvious that the demonstration was led by the opposition. The people were carrying PAS and Keadilan flags and banners. There was a spokesman speaking through the hailer although we were unable to hear much of what was said.
The protest lasted perhaps about an hour to an hour and the half before the crowd dispersed.
Below are three messages seen on the banners:
