They held a brief gathering outside the Malaysiakini office at 10.00am, followed by a press conference in the Malaysiakini office.
The main NGO speaker (centre among group of speakers) was Amin Iskandar, director of the National Institute of Electoral Integrity.
NIEI chairman Yunus Ali said the MCMC’s demand that Malaysiakini pull down the video was “illogical”.

Over in Penang, Charter 2000-Aliran has also come out with a statement in support of Malaysiakini here.

Jika video-video ini tidak secara rasmi diharamkan oleh kerajaan BN, sila simpan untuk kenangan sendiri atau bagi kepada kawan-kawan. Sila ingatkan mereka selalu tentang insiden ini.
The aujtority think that we are stupid to believe that the public are annoyed by the video recording of cow’s head demo.
The Hindus did not object to it as shown by Hindraf support to mkini.

PAS did not opbject.
Almost all Malay NGOs did not object.
The Chinese did not object.
Who on earth will object? Only UMNO because they know that it will be detrimental to their chances of election.

they are just a new wing of BN party.
Did the deputy minister hear properly what the people said? Deputy minister, you better clear your ears and listen to the people again. The majority of the voices want the charge against Malaysiakini to be dropped.
