Thaipusam hunger strike fails to excite
- 9 years ago
A hunger strike planned by the Movement for Sustaining SPM 12 Subjects to coincide with the Thaipusam celebrations today turned out to be a lame affair.
There were only about 10 people who fasted for seven hours, instead of the anticipated 200 earlier.
The coalition is led by its chairperson, A Thiruvenggadam.
They spent the time distributing their T-shirts. In addition the public bought about 120 car stickers at the Perumal temple, located close to Batu Caves railway station.
This was because the temple committee chairman R Nadarajah did not give them the go-ahead for the hunger strike.
