A hunger strike planned by the Movement for Sustaining SPM 12 Subjects to coincide with the Thaipusam celebrations today turned out to be a lame affair.<br /><br />There were only about 10 people who fasted for seven hours, instead of the anticipated 200 earlier.<br /><br />The coalition is led by its chairperson, A Thiruvenggadam.<br /><br />They spent the time distributing their T-shirts. In addition the public bought about 120 car stickers at the Perumal temple, located close to Batu Caves railway station.<br /><br />This was because the temple committee chairman R Nadarajah did not give them the go-ahead for the hunger strike.<br /><br />Full story here http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/123330<br /><br />Reporting by: K Pragalath<br />Camera: Amir Abdullah
