Anti-GST demonstrators shutdown Customs office


PETALING JAYA: Anti-GST demonstrators walked into Federal Customs headquarters here with 106 questions but authorities have refused to play along so far.

The protestors, led by Parti Sosialis Malaysia activists, entered the office complex in Kelana Jaya at 11am hoping to speak to and hand over a memorandum to the Customs director general about the impending goods and service tax implementation next month.

PSM youth chief K.S. Bawani said that so far no one has come forward to entertain their questions.

"We are determined to get answers to our 106 questions and we are not leaving until we do," she said when contacted earlier.

Police, along with the Federal Reserve Unit (FRU), have barricaded the office complex following the group's entry and are barring anyone else from entering.

However the original group of protestors still remain inside.

Former UiTM activist Khalid Ismath was arrested during the protest.
