Remembering all the men and women who were detained.

| This day, 34 years ago on Oct 27, 1987, will forever be etched in my mind and the minds of many family members as D-Day of Operasi Lalang, a ‘weeding’ operation conducted by the then BN government to weed out voices of dissent labelling them as a “threat to national security”.

The list ranged from MPs and state assemblypersons, lecturers, engineers, educationists, environmentalists, women’s rights leaders, religious leaders, rubber tappers, a vegetable seller, a market hawker, chairperson of a factory union, businesspersons and human rights defenders.
