Police ‘get tough’ at Batu Pahat Black 505, but the crowd continues to build up

Written by  Malaysia Chronicle

UPDATE2 As the dust settles on a purported ‘top secret’ meeting in Jakarta between Opposition chief Anwar Ibrahim and Prime Minister Najib Razak, all eyes are on a Black 505 rally due to be held later tonight in Batu Pahat, Johor.

But it looks like the suspicion that Najib was using Anwar to feign ‘national reconciliation’ may be correct. Police have already begun to crack down on the rally due to be held in a vacant field opposite the McDonalds in Parit Jaya, Batu Pahat.

“Please remove your cars. Don’t park here. You are obstructing traffic,” the police, who swooped into the site in several white Proton Waja patrol cars, blared on their megaphone.

Fear of ‘outsiders’

However, despite the rather pompous and intimidating tone of the police command, the Pakatan supporters already at the site were cool in their response – quietly re-parking their cars although there was more than ample space along the rather sparsely-used 4-lane highway.

It was ironic that as the police shrilled out their orders, a tape recording of a past Pakatan ceramah (political talk) continued to be played at full-blast, calling on Muslims and Malaysians of all creed to reject the BN’s corrupt government using as examples the BN’s continuous and covert issuance of casino licenses to cronies to amass wealth for themselves and their families.

Police later appeared to soften their stance. They told Malaysia Chronicle that as long as the rally goers parked their cars ‘properly’, they could go in. “We are afraid of outsiders coming in,” the officer told Malaysia Chronicle about an hour after the first order was given.
