An evening in Ijok on by-election polling day…Part 2
When I arrived in Ijok town on my way to Batang Berjuntai, I was greeted by a stand-still traffic at the main junction near the police station. I had passed this same junction about 30-40 minutes ago and the roads were not that bad then. I had tried to make left turn to Batang Berjuntai but the traffic cop directed me to the right signalling the road leading to Batang Berjuntai was closed. There must be something going on… I must check. I quickly parked my car at the Petronas station right at the junction and made my way into the crowd.
These are the pictures that I have taken there. With the heavy presence of police personnel including the famous red-coloured uniformed riot police personnel from Federal Reserve Unit (FRU), I wouldn’t blame anyone for thinking that something that is threathening the national security is taking place right there in Ijok town. However, I am talking about Ijok by-election here… not a riot of some sort.
What was happening?
