Family and friends of alleged custodial death victim G Francis Udayappan held a short memorial service today in front the Brickfields district police headquarters.

Led by Francis’ mother G Sara Lily, the small crowd lit candles and showered flower petals on a wreath bearing a photo of Francis.

Kelantan Crown Prince Tengku Faris Petra said today that Malays had given into granting non-Malays citizenship and the latter should therefore not seek equality or special treatment.

He said this during his keynote speech at a forum titled “Malay unity is the core of national unity” organised by the newly formed Barisan Bertindak Perpaduan Melayu in Kuala Lumpur today.
