Thousands are expected to camp outside the National Registration Department in Putrajaya until the government resolves the issue of stateless Indians.

“We are going to come with tents, food and provisions and will not move from the area until the government resolves the problem of Malaysian Indians being denied identification documents,” said PKR vice-president N Surendran.
“We expect thousands to turn up, including victims, activists, civil societies, and members of Pakatan Rakyat. Although we cannot say the exact figure, we are already starting the mobilisation.”
Surendran stressed that only Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak should be blamed if the NRD’s operations were paralysed on that day – something that he said would be likely to happen.
“We don’t want to do this, but our hand has been forced due to the government’s deliberate policy to marginalise and deprive the 300,000 stateless Indians from earning a livelihood in this country,” he said.
“Considering Najib’s vast resources, he would have little trouble in resolving the issue before Dec 5,” he said, adding that should the matter be resolved before that date, the protest would be called off.
