SINGAPORE: A lone protestor is staging a "hunger strike" outside the Malaysian High Commission here against the arrest of the five Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) activists under the Internal Security Act (ISA).
The man, also carrying a placard containing photographs of the detainees, has been outside the commission at Jervois Road since early Monday.
This is the second protest at the high commission in the past month. On Dec 17, several members from the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) presented a memorandum urging the Malaysian Government to respect human rights.
Malaysian High Commissioner to Singapore Datuk N. Parameswaran when contacted confirmed that a man was holding a placard outside the high commission on Monday.
"This incident is the second protest at the high commission.
"We are not sure whether he is a Malaysian. We leave it to the Singaporean authorities to handle the matter," he said, adding that so far the man has not passed any memorandum to the high commission.
On the SDP protest, Parameswaran only said that a memorandum was received and sent to Kuala Lumpur.
