From where I stood, I could see hundreds of rounds of teargas were being fired into the crowd fronm time to time. And countless chemical-laced water cannons were shot at the peaceful protesters. But the protesters keep regrouping without fear. I believe the crowd around KLCC would have exceeded 30,000 by 11.30am I heard that more than 5,000 people were locked in the compound of the Batu Caves temple since the morning. I have no way to confirm how many people have been arrested so far. ( Note: Some 400 were arrested. And many were beaten up badly)
