Aidil, where did you get this info from?
These hooligans were the same individuals from groups like Perkasa and Umno Youth, who had allegedly caused trouble at the square in February 26, 2012, during a rally to protest the Lynas plant, and more recently in May this year when they trespassed into the state legislative assembly building.

Doesn’t it make your blood boil when you think of how the PPS members were rounded up, yet the police did not raise a finger to deal with these hooligans in the mob?!
I thought the police has collaborated with NYPD to spruce up its image?
