HINDRAF - Guidelines to the Rally on 25/11/2007 - British High Commission

As we are all aware about the Hindraf Rally this Sunday 25th November 2007 to submit the memorandum to the British High Commission, there have been postings on guidelines on what you can and cannot do for the rally if you are planning to join.

Remember, we are not going there to riot or fight or start a war, we are marching hand in hand with other Malaysian Indians to submit a memorandum peacefully. Dont potray yourself like gangsters or 'firestaters', we are professionals being led by professionals. Once the submission is done, leave the place peacefully. There are LRT services which I would advice you to take to reach the embassy. It starts at 10am so be there early, we are not going for shopping spree in KLCC so dont take it for granted. The map to the location can be found here.

The guidelines for the rally as per below:

GUIDELINES FOR THOSE ATTENDING RALLY

Number #1 rule : Never react when provoked. Infact, never react at all. You are just a guest at the rally.If anyone in the group keeps shouting, just ignore him and get away from that group, because the chance are most probably it’s the Police’s agent provocateur . So always keep high discipline, don’t think when you’re in a group of ten you are the King of the world. The police will always look for reasons, how small and piety it may be, to arrest you.

Number #2 rule : If you are a University students, or Civil servants, DO NOT, I repeat NEVER ever bring your matrix card or work pass along. If caught, that will be the end of you. DO NOT bring anything else than your IC and Driving license/passport. If you are caught, do not say you’re a student, say you’re some despatch rider, Mamak-shop cleaner or working somewhere.

Number #3 rule : ‘You are not there to attend the rally’. Anyone ask just say its your first time to KL and your looking at the KLCC area. Its just nearby. Give a big smile and as it is said, BUAT BODOH.

Number #4 rule : Never walk alone. Stay in big crowds. Listen and follow any instructions given, do not break away from the big group, if you do it will be easier to be caught! Hold hands to show solidarity and remain united.

Remember, you are there to witness the hand over of the memorandum to British embassy, nothing else. Its not a demonstration and its certainly not a place for you to show your the King of the world. Never shout at other, chants of slogans are fine. Smile at the passer-bys. Thank the security team, be it Police or anyone, for providing a safe journey! They are humans too. And please never ever provoke the Police force. You have been warned my dear!

Oh yes, if just in case police starts using the Water Canon. Bring small portion of salt and drinking water. The chemical in it will cause you to dehydrade, so take abit of salt and wash of face. Better to have some wet cloth with you.

In My own words:

* Dont f***in be a hero try to provoke the police or FRU or Rela. They will f*** ur a$$

* You are coming there to participate, dont disturb chicks or try to get numbers from them

* Dont crack stupid jokes and laugh to yourself. Maintain your silence and talk if necessary

* Dont bring any weapons such as knife, parang, bennet, pen knife, acid egg, molotov etc. We are not terrorist.

* If someone is talking, listen. Dont freakin shout and make havoc.

* Girls, wear approriately. You are not going for clubbing or fashion show, we are there to support not site adikiranings.

* Dont fight among yourself like how it happens during Thaipusam.

Last but not least, as the saying goes "Veedu rendu pattal, koothadike kondattam", so please maintain your dicipline and dignity as an Indian.

Stay United and Lets Hope for the Best.
