Sunday, March 18, 2001 Keadilan urged to halt demos PETALING JAYA: A group of youths gathered outside Parti Keadilan Nasional's headquarters here yesterday and protested against the party's involvement in street demonstrations. The 30 youths marched towards the party's headquarters in the Phileo Damansara Business Centre, carrying a banner that read Gunakanlah Pilihan Raya, Bukan Jalan Raya: Pemuda Negara Mahu Keamanan (Make Use of Elections, Not Streets: Nation's Youth Want Peace). STATING STAND ... Doss slipping a copy of the memorandum under the door of Keadilan's headquarters in Petaling Jaya Saturday. -- Bernamapic The protesters said they represented three organisations--Persatuan Pemuda Negara Malaysia (PPNM), Persatuan Warga Warisan Melayu Malaysia (Wawasan) and Persatuan Graduan Muda Malaysia (PGMM). The group, which arrived at about 2.30pm and left half-an-hour later, could not hand over their memorandum as the party headquarters was closed. They, however, managed to slip a copy of the memorandum, addressed to Keadilan deputy president Dr Chandra Muzaffar, under the door. PPNM president Stephen Doss said the memorandum called on Keadilan not to resort to demonstrations to bring down the Government. He said Keadilan must respect the right of the country's silent majority which, according to him, opposed demonstrations. Wawasan president Armizan Mohd Ali advised Keadilan to use the general election to come to power and not demonstrations. PGMM president Quek Ngee Meng said street demonstrations should be rejected because they resulted in increased social cost.--Bernama
