Showing Displeasure with courage



We gathered at Starbucks Café near Orchard Parade Hotel at about 6 pm. Then at about 7 pm, we, altogether about 40, changed our clothes , wear red T shirts, stand in group of three, , on the side of Starbucks café, in front of Orchard Parade Hotel. Few of us held a placard that said “listen to Burma’s desire, don’t follow Junta order” “ Asean act with honour” . We gathered there to show our disappointment of Asean way of handling Burmese affairs.

A lot of media men were there, clipping videos and interviewing some of our fellows. About 20 minutes later about 20 plainclothes policemen approached us and an officer with police uniform told to disperse. A few of us were asked to give their particulars to police at the spot. Some were tailed and asked their particulars at the Orchard MRT Station. One of our men was questioned by CID at a bus stop at Eunos.
