If you’ve been following the Malaysian Macaca Mutiny (1,2,3,4) with any degree of interest, you’ve got to love the way these protesters are making the Malaysian government look bad.

The Malaysian government and law enforcement has employed tear gas and water cannons, slapped their leaders with murder charges which magically disappeared and tried linking them to terrorist groups.

In the face of overwhelming systematic oppression, all these Malaysian desis have done is peacefully protest on the streets holding pictures of Gandhi. Perhaps their counterparts (protesters) in India can pick up some pointers from these folks.

In the most recent edition of this saga, sixteen men (pictured left) shaved their heads in protest and prayed for the release of their leaders who have been held indefinitely without trial under the draconian Internal Securities Act of Malaysia. [link]

As long as the protests stay peaceful, this should get very interesting.

* Mottai = “bald” in Tamil
