Indians across the world demonstrated outside the offices of Malaysian embassies and high commissions on Saturday to condemn the government and police, hours after tear gas and water cannons were fired in Kuala Lumpur at people bringing flowers to persuade Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi to release five Hindraf leaders from detention.

The demonstrations – which took place almost simultaneously in New York, Los Angeles, London, Belgium, Northern Island, Indonesia, New Zealand, New Delhi and Mumbai – were believed to be the first internationally-coordinated action in support of the Indian cause in Malaysia.

Although there were no more than a few dozen people protesting in each of the cities, their action underlined the growing disgust among Indians all over the world at Abdullah and his police force, said organisers who e-mailed Malaysiakini with details and pictures of the demonstrations. Videos were also posted on YouTube.

I was not there at the roses campaign, but I was repeatedly receiving calls - giving updates and asking for updates from friends who took part and from friends who did not. I took part on the 25th Nov event, but failed to attend yesterdays clash. I’m having a bad feeling deep in my heart for not attending the campaign. However, I tried my best to keep MakalVoice readers with some latest news on the event with info’s from friends and other blogs. It was a tough job too. Thanks to roses4pm blog for the live updates.

I’m really proud of those kids, parents and everyone who have attended the campaign. Even if they did not manage to pass the rose, they have created an impact in Malaysian History for the wellbeing of Indians. HIP HIP HOORAY!!! Be proud of yourself.

In the first place, the event suppose to be peaceful, but it turned up to be a battle and again the police have made it happen. “Syabas” to them. The police are actually doing a very good job continuously in creating hatred feeling among all the community in Malaysia towards them. By the way, none of us is astonished with the way you guys handle the crowd. Anyhow, it is hard to blame them too; the curse should go to those who are giving the instructions.
