Malay rights pressure group Perkasa today rallied in front of the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur demanding three of its diplomats be withdrawn.
Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali said the group objected to the trio’s presence in the country because of their participation in the Bersih 3.0 rally in KL on April 28.
The abrasive Pasir Mas MP said their presence at the mammoth rally for clean and fair elections “gave the perception that Singapore wants to interfere in Malaysia’s affairs”.
Handing a memorandum to a high commission, Ibrahim added that Singapore needs to apologise for the actions of the three, that he claimed negatively impacts bilateral relations.
Four of Perkasa’s highest officers were present at the rally at 1pm today.
Roughly 300 Perkasa supporters gathered at the premises at Jln Tun Razak chanting, “Long Live the Malays”, “Get lost Singapore”, and “Peace to Malaysia” for about 20 minutes before an officer from the high commission staff came out to receive the memorandum.

On Friday Wisma Putra spoke to Singapore High Commissioner Ong Keng Yong over the involvement of three diplomats in Bersih 3.0, the latter who explained that the trio were there as “impartial observers”.
A pro-BN blogger had played up the issue accusing Singapore of trying to interfere in the next general election and even claiming that the three were trained by the Israeli secret service.
