High drama in Ipoh

The vicinity of the Perak state secretariat building today was gripped with high drama for about four hours as Pakatan Rakyat tried to convene an emergency state assembly sitting.

From the wee hours, police have been manning roadblocks leading to both the front and rear entrance to the building, where the state assembly is housed.

Rush hour traffic was brought to a crawl and students were seen running to a nearby school as their parents could only drop them at a roadblock.

Other than the heavy police presence, little was out of the ordinary until a group of some 30 burly men started to shout profanities at some 100 Pakatan supporters gathered near the state secretariat building.

The Pakatan supporters backed off slightly, but that didnt stop the group of aggressive men, though vastly outnumbered, from shouting profanities.
