#FLASH MP, farmers among 39 arrested over ‘eviction’ protest in Perak http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/307451
Police have arrested PSM lawmaker Dr Michael Jayakumar and scores of farmers as well as activists for protesting outside the Perak Menteri Besar office this afternoon.
The farmers, who are battling eviction, had gathered there in a last ditch effort to meet Perak Menteri Besar Zambry Abdul Kadir after failing to secure an appointment despite trying for almost four months.
Among those arrested were PSM secretary-general A Sivarajan and central committee member S Arutchelvan.

Earlier reports
Jay Jay Denis “Perak farmers facing eviction seek PM’s help.” http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/perak-farmers-facing-eviction-seek-pms-help … A story told too often. We need to work more with them and others.
PUTRAJAYA — Farmers facing eviction in Perak have turned to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak for help after their requests to hold discussions with Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir were ignored.
Coming together under the Affiliation of Save Perak’s Farmers and Breeders, they yesterday handed over a memorandum to the Prime Minister’s Office here, urging Najib to intervene.
If that does not happen, the 500 farmers plan to march on the administrative capital on April 28.
The Perak government wants to acquire 4,000ha of land which the farmers have toiled on for generations.
“We have been called squatters. How is that fair?” vegetable farmer Salleh Omar Ahnid, 54, said.
“My family has been applying for a grant to make my farm legal, but my applications were rejected with the excuse that the state will develop the land.”
“It is clear that the Perak MB has no interest in listening to the farmers and breeders affected by this eviction,” the group’s coordinator, K Segar, 51, said.
Families in Tronoh, Perak, in particular, are desperate as they have been issued a court order to leave their land.
“My father, like his father before him, had been working this land since the 50s,” cow breeder M Ramasamy, 59, said.
“This is all that I have known. I was born here, and I live here with my family. Where can we go? This is our livelihood.”
