Muzliza Mustafa, TMI

The protesters who set up tents at Padang Merbok in Kuala Lumpur after yesterday’s Black 505 rally received eviction notices from City Hall at 10am today.

A City Hall spokesman said they were there to carry out their duty and have given the activists two hours to leave.

“If they are still here, we will inform our superiors and wait for further instruction,” he said.

There were more than 100 tents on site at the time. About 240 campers have been at the field since last night.

Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia chairman Badrul Hisham Shahrul said they are going to let City Hall finish issuing notices before deciding the next course of action.
