Re: HINDRAF LAUNCHES VALENTINE ROSES CAMPAIGN TO FREE ISA DETAINEES AND ASSERT RIGHTS OF MINORITY MALAYSIAN INDIANS WHO HAVE BEEN OPPRESSED SUPPRESSED MARGINALISED AND REMAINED PERMANENTLY COLONIZED COMMUNIY.
HINDRAF REQUESTS PRIME MINISTER TO MAKE HIMSELF AVAILABLE TO ACCEPT ROSES FROM AND ON BEHALF OF 70% POOR AND UNDERCLASS INDIANS.
On the 16th February 2008 (Saturday) a minimum of 10,000 Malaysian Indians representing 70% of the poor oppressed suppressed and marginalized community would make themselves available to hand over red and yellow roses to the Honourable Prime Minister Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in conjunction with Valentine’s Day.
Red Roses would signify HINDRAF’s Love and Peaceful Struggle whilst yellow roses would signify the Demand for Justice for the 5 HINDRAF leaders held under the draconian laws and for the rights of the minority Indian community who have been neglected for the last 50 years since Independence by the Government.
The minimum of 10,000 Minority Indians would make themselves available as follows:
Date : 16th February 2008 (Saturday)
Time : 11.00 am
Venue : Parliament House Kuala Lumpur
HINDRAF wishes to assert that this is purely a peaceful gathering with the view to present our beloved Prime Minister with Roses to enlighten him on the predicament and Cry for Justice of the Minority Indian community. The heart of the Indian community bleeds on the incarceration of their leaders under the ISA. It is hoped by accepting the roses the Prime Minister would be compassionate and understand to the needs of the Indian community.
HINDRAF requests the Prime Minister to attend personally to accept the roses or alternatively make his personal representative available to accept the same. We are amenable to change the venue if it is inconvenient with the Honourable Prime Minister.
We trust the Government would perfectly understand the peaceful gesture of Malaysian Indians and allow these poor oppressed and underclass to express their feelings through presentation of the Roses.
HINDRAF wishes the Honourable Prime Minister (an advance) “HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY.”

I really wish that no more water cannon or tear gas will tear down the beautiful roses which is meant to be given to our beloved PM. We are not being sarcastic by giving pillow to PM. For more read below.
Group hands Pak Lah Special Gift
Andrew Ong | Jan 4, 08 4:26pm
A group of disgruntled young Malaysians today symbolically handed a ‘gift’ to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to express their disappointment with his administration.
The gift was in form of a yellow pillow and a bolster – both decorated with the Malaysian flag and the Petronas Twin Towers .
Abdullah however was not on hand to receive the items, which the group left at the doorsteps of the premier’s office in Putrajaya this morning.
Spokesperson for the group Badrul Hisham Shaharin said he and his eight other friends had come to the conclusion that the government’s ineffectiveness was due Abdullah’s purported “sleepiness”.
He added that Abdullah had previously been allegedly caught nodding off at various official functions both locally and abroad.
“So we wanted to send a ‘memorandum’ about the what the youth wants. This memorandum is in form of a pillow… He can use the pillow to continue sleeping or wake up and realise that his administration is not efficient,” Badrul told reporters.
Badrul said the group consisted of artists, poets, bloggers, writters and activists but denied that the ‘pillow act’ was politically motivated.Check out the pictures which actually made me wonder how come the PDRM and FRU didnt play with their water cannon or tear gas to them.

The group displays posters mocking Abdullah over his alleged ‘sleepiness’
Journalist and the police were stunned when the ‘memorandum’ turned out to be a pillow and a bolster
“He can come and pick it up later if he wants,” said Badrul. The pillow and several posters were left at the main entrance to the Prime Minister’s Department
The banner reads, “The last hope of the young Malaysians: Continue sleeping O’Prime Minister”
Security detail took a while to decide how to deal with the items
The pillow is scanned for dangerous substances
Eventually, a security personnel removes the items
Viknes,
Isn’it lovely to present roses to prime Minister, this shows that HINDRAF or rather our community are loving in nature & peaceful by heart. To gain something out of something, one will war or kill innocent lives in order to succeed in their mission, very less or even near to infinity will ever want to practise peace and harmony but HINDRAF IS DOING THAT !! Bravo, and The ROSES are symbol of our love to country, we’re not asking much, GIVE US WHAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OURS !! THAT’s ALL.
Happy Valentine Day !
