KUALA TERENGGANU – Amanah has expressed regret and frustration after the party's flashmob protest against price hike was stopped by cops.
The peaceful protest was supposed to be held at Ladang Tok Pelam traffic lights, said Terengganu Amanah chief Datuk Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah claimed.
He said the cops were ordered by the authorities to ensure the flashmob will not be held.
“Police initially gave us 15 minutes for the flashmob, however before we could start the event, four roads leading to the intersection were closed and on-going cars were not allowed to pass through where the flashmob was supposed to be held.
“The present government has turned out to be a coward so much so even the voice of 15 people including eight women were not allowed,” he said in the statement today.
He said Pas was allowed organise a flashmob in front of Stadium Kuala Terengganu to object price hike and the roads were not shut down.
“But why did they close the road on us?," he said, adding that the government is afraid of their incompetence to govern.
"They are afraid over people's rage and their own shadow,” he said.
