<P>Some 1,000 Umno members and supporters staged an one-hour protest outside the 
Penang state government office in Komtar this afternoon.</p> <P>The crowd -&nbsp;which gathered there after Friday prayers around 2.30pm 
-&nbsp;chanted slogans such as 'Don’t sideline the Malays' and 'Do not abolish 
the NEP'.</p> <P>The protest, led by Penang Umno secretary Azhar Ibrahim, to protest Penang 
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's declaration that the new DAP-led state government 
would do away with the New Economic Policy (NEP) policies.</p> <P>Among those spoke at the rally included former deputy chief minister Abdul 
Rashid Abdullah, Sungai Dua state assemblyperson Jasmin Mohamed and Umno Bukit 
Mertajam chief Musa Sheikh Fadzir.</p> <P>There were about 3,000 onlookers and most of the shops nearby inlcluding 
Maybank in Komtar were briefly closed.</p> <P>About eight FRU trucks armed with water cannons were deployed and the crowd 
dispersed after the police gave the protestors a five-minute ultimatum. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4054C17F-6DE4-4D32-95BB-29D625BA345A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
