Day 6 on the JERIT southern team

Daily update on the JERIT southern team by S. Arultchelvan

SOUTH TEAM MOVE TO NEGERI SEMBILAN

It was our first official day in Negeri Sembilan though we reached here the night before. The night before, one of our youth from Subang had an injury on his leg and had to be taken to clinic and later send back to Selangor. We also had to send back another two participant- one was having fever while the second did not have any IC document and we feared that the police might detain her and hence decided to send her back as well.

We also had a new lorry driver and a new bus driver, Besides we had a change of guard as our Johor team handed the baton to the Negeri Sembilan team mainly to PSM Seremban. We had as usual an early visit by two SB members from Tampin. They were pleasant and later the traffic chief did assist us and with our team and some help from PAS Unit Amal we reached Kota- a small town in between Tampin and Rembau.

In Kota, we already had a reasonable number of Pakatan supporters and we gained much confidence and started to leaflet quite confidently. We then passed by Chengkau and a kilometer before Rembau, we went to PAS Markas, where there were some refreshments as well as a few short speeches. Cikgu Bat(Badrul) joined us from there..

From there, we left to Rembau and went to the bus terminal. Cikgu Bad led a team of cyclist. In Rembau bus station, two policemen tried to stop us from leafleating stating that we can be arrested but the activist confronted the police who then fled the scene.

From here we went to the PKR office for lunch. Then at around 3pm, we proceeded to PEDAS which was 3km away. At the Pedas hot spring we stopped for awhile before proceeding by bus towards to Seremban Jaya. We stopped 2km from this new township and cycled. It started to drizzle and we made it to DAP office or rather the office of YB Guna, the State Assemblyman. As usual another 2 SB were waiting for us.

Later I met with the Seremban SB chief – Ang and we discussed our handing over memorandum to the Negeri Sembilan MB tomorrow. He made a deal and said that he will tell his boys not to confront and requested us do likewise. We had no problem with that.

At night , we had a ceramah at the DAP office hosted by Guna. We had many YBs present. Dr. Jeyakumar –PSM CC member was the main attraction. Our team collected signature and sold t-shirts. All the State Assemblyman supported JERIT demands. It was yet another incident free day. The day ended with all the young kids celebrating Bawani's birthday. The cyclist really do have the energy. Tomorrow we will hit Seremban centre and submit a memorandum to the MB. Then we would be moving to more rural areas.

1.45am 12 December 2008, Seremban Jaya
