Angry Hindraf supporters mob Samy©New Sunday Times
BUTTERWORTH: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu went through a harrowing experience last night when some 100 people blocked his car and demanded the release of Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) protesters detained at an illegal rally in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.The crowd surrounded and banged his car as he was leaving SRJK (C) Chung Hwa 3 in Prai here after attending a function at 9pm.
The works minister was earlier escorted to the car after a mob started to jeer him.
But the group, including some women, blocked the car, and did not allow it to leave the school compound.
The crowd demanded that Samy Vellu alight from the car and talk to them but the minister refused, leading to a 10-minute stand-off.Samy Vellu later wound down his car window and asked the people what they wanted.
The group demanded his help to secure the release of the demonstrators detained in Kuala Lumpur in the morning.
"But they are criminals," Samy Vellu was heard saying.
This infuriated the group who refused to budge.
Samy Vellu finally relented and promised to call the inspector-general of police today.
By then, policemen managed to clear the way for Samy Vellu's car to leave.=================================

I think the situation in Malaysia arose because Samy Vellu was the one who spoke to the Indians for calmness.
So they went to him to tell him why they were not calm.
And he agreed to look into it.
That's all that happened.
If, however, he doesn't keep his word, he will not be trusted and will be looked on as a mouthpiece and no attention would be paid to his words in the future. That would end his career as a politician.

if it happens in Singapore, u will wish dat it will not happen.

sometime it is the lack of such braveness that the current establishment is getting more audacious and cocky.
well, if anyone try this stunt, be assured that the "red car" will turn up with afew battalions of riot police and u will be charged under ISA for sedition.
