Protest against Grand Saga toll continues

The DAP-led citizens' action group demanding the abolition of toll on the Cheras-Kajang Grand Saga Highway continued with their crusade by launching a petition drive at the Batu 9 toll plaza near Cheras.

Nearly 50 of them, clad in yellow shirts with the message,"The Sufferings of Cheras residents. We don't want toll", gathered at the KL-bound side of the toll plaza since early in the morning, aiming to swarm cars in the area, which is usually clogged with traffic.

About an equal number of policemen awaited them at the roadside since early in morning.

However, police did not allow them to gather on grounds they did not have permit. Besides this, the traffic this morning was surprisingly smooth and this put a damper on their plan to collect signatures.

While not entirely cooperative, the police were quite receptive to the group in their negotiations.
