Is "Children With Roses" a Threat to National Security?
Malaysiakini reported :
'Guns and roses' in Parliament? by Andrew Ong on Feb 13, 08 7:16pm
A standoff between the police and Hindraf supporters near Parliament is likely this Saturday as the police have denied a permit for the movement's 'children with roses' gathering.
The police have denied a permit for the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) to hold a gathering outside the Parliament building this Saturday, paving the way for a possible standoff should the movement decide to press on.
-> Cops: Stay away
-> Hindraf not backing down
From my understanding, Somebody from Some Party used to say the reason that permits for gatherings must be denied because of national security. Those participants were adults. It was found out that during several incidents, the people who rallied were peaceful but dispersed using non-peaceful means. mind-boggling indeed.
Now, this gathering is all about "children with roses". Again I repeat, I mean, they are children and there are roses. One wonders whether "children with roses" will threaten national security. That is mind-boggling too.
If that is not the case, the police has to explain themselves thoroughly on why the permit is not granted. Perhaps, if they have Someone standing behind them giving them orders to not provide a permission, that Someone has to be exposed to the public as well.
And I say it again, this is a "children with roses" (not adults with batons, tear gas and guns, or are they?) gathering.
Goodness gracious, I have said enough.
