The heavy-handed manner...

Dublin Core

Title

Description

"The heavy-handed manner in which the houses were demolished - without prior warning to the owners and despite the matter still being handled by their lawyers - infuriated POASM leaders enough to want to make their displeasure visible and loud. The demonstration was to inform the authorities that the memorandum submitted on that day to the Deputy Prime Minister had the support of the Orang Asli. There was good media coverage of the event but the action did not solicit any positive response from the authorities involved."
