Protests in front of Malaysian Embassy

MAKATI: The Malaysian Embassy in Makati, the Philippines has temporarily suspended its operations from today.
It is learnt that several groups had protested outside the embassy due to the Sabah stand-off.

The embassy closure coincided with the assault on the Lahad Datu intruders in Kampung Tanduo.

According to ABS-CBN News, there were at least 100 Catholic and Muslim protesters gathered in front of the embassy along Tordecillas Street in Salcedo Village.

The protesters were calling for an end to the violence, while some were seen voicing their support for Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III.

They were led by umbrella group Bagong Alyansang Makabayan and marched to the embassy but the police had blocked them before they could reach the premises.

Meanwhile, several photos were posted on ABS-CBN News' Twitter account showing that police were blocking the entrance to the embassy, whilst protesters held up banner that said: "Stop Military Offensive! Resolve Sabah Standoff Peacefully."

  2. Serahkan pada pemimpin dan pihak berkuasa selesaikan masalah yang dihadapi negara bukannya bertindak orang perorangan.bersikap profesional sikit.
