Protest by Burmese people in Singapore against the outcome of ASEAN SUMMIT

27 November 2007

On 20th November 2007, a group of 50 burmese people staged a short peaceful protest at downtown area of Singapore, Orchard Road. The protest came about due to their disappointment after hearing ASEAN's non-interfering stand towards Burma and ASEAN's decision to respect the so-called wishes of SPDC (Burmese military junta). The protestors wore red t-shirts with wordings such as "Please save the monks and people of burma" .. "We pursue peace, justice and democracy for Burma". They also held pieces of paper urging ASEAN to "act with honour". They stood in rows of 3 and the first row of 3 people held a banner that stated as such: "Listen to Burma's desire. Dont follow junta's order".
