Got this info from Waythamoorthy:

ISA DETAINEE

LATEST ON FASTING BY UTHAYAKUMAR.

I have just received information from my family members who met Uthayakumar at Taiping Hospital that his condition is quite bad.

He had severe stomach and abdominal pain. He is warded at ward 12 C of Taiping Hospital.

His right hand is handcuffed to the bed which is absolutely ridiculous. He is not a common criminal. He is also tightly guarded by 4 prison security officials at all times.

I am told that his potassium level is very high and has been warned that he may suffer a heart attack. He is now on drips.

Uthayakumar has urged all HINDRAF supporters to continue with their peaceful struggle and our legitimate demands for the rights of the ethnic minority Indian community.

We reached Batu Caves at 9.45am, via Jalan Kuching. Missed the parking area, so had to go around the roundabout again to park near the Petronas station. First indication that the crowd was less is the available parking spaces at the paid areas. So, I thought what the heck, might as well look for free parking area 🙂  » Read more: Thaipusam Day Part 2

I seriously doubt there were 500,000 since morning to noon. Since I was there from 10am till 2pm, I think maybe 100,000 is more likely. Unlike previous years were there will be terrible crowd everywhere in the temple compound, this time the crowd were only from about 20 meters from the stairs till the inside of the cave. » Read more: Samy estimate one million people
