Last Friday, a group of Falun Gong followers did a protest just right outside of the China Embassy in Kuala Lumpur.In view of this, the Royal Malaysian Police has set up a special police action squad to prevent the Anti-China, Falun Gong and Tibetan sympathisers or anyone for that matter from interferring in the Olympic torch relay.
Well, certain / surrounding roads would be close to motor vehicles to accommodate the torch relay from 2.15pm to 6.15pm and if you are having any appointments at this few areas, do re-adjust your timing:-
* Dataran Merdeka (starting point)
* Wisma OCM
* City Hall
* Parliament House
* National Museum
* National Mosque
* Old Railway Station
* Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall
* Merdeka Stadium
* KL Tower
* KLCC (finale)
When the road is closed to motor vehicles, it's much more easier to target you (if you are one of those intending to disrupt the Olympic torch relay).
The police has warned that stern action would be taken against any disruption and any vehicles parked along the scheduled roads would be towed away for security reasons. What security reasons you may ask - Car Bombs la!

Bet the traffic must be terrible today. Nevertheless, looking forward the the Olympic Games in August.
the affected roads were closed in stages and re-opened after the torch relay team has passed by.
the main jam from 6pm onwards till 7pm plus (this is where i left my office) was due to the closure of our so-called 'smart' tunnel, reason being usage of tunnel to divert rain water ...... i thot that was not a heavy rain at all
What to do? That's our government. hahah
they shut down for more than 3 days in march 08 due to heavy rain but many people suspected something went very wrong during that 3 days.
compared to this past 2 days, it was shut down for less than 24 hours .....
