MENDIANG DEMOKRASI

IPOH, Feb 8 - As the new mentri besar Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir addressed an MCA organised gathering tonight in a Chinese school a stone's throw away from where the embattled Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin remains holed up, hundreds of Chinese demonstrators carried out a noisy protest which at times drowned out the festive Chinese New Year party inside.

Protest organisers set up a make shift tombstone on the road shoulder and invited the crowd to place lit candles and yellow chrysanthemum flowers to symbolized their despair.

A moment of silence was also observed by the crowd and even policemen who were directing heavy traffic on the road stop using their whistles.
