Two activists were arrested at around 1 pm outside MOM Building.

They were speaking out against MOM high handed ways of rejecting two Burmese’s work permit.

Seelan and Kai Xiong, while holding placard, (were highlighting) the plight of our Burmese pals whose work permit were rejected after working here for 11 years for their pro-democracy support in their own country.

Now tell me, last Sunday, 200 PRC gathered peacefully outside MOM building to protest against their bosses for not paying them, no arrest and MOM even render help immediately. In stark contrast, 2 activists protesting against MOM high handed ways of rejecting the renewal of work permit were arrested!!

It makes me wonder;

1) 2 activists pose more danger than 200 protesters?

2) 2 activists pose more danger than a gathering of 200 foreign workers??

This is a sick country!
