PETALING JAYA: As Covid-19 numbers continue to surge, an activist has staged a hunger strike in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, calling for immediate intervention by the authorities in the way the pandemic is being managed. When contacted on Thursday (Aug 5), Tan said there were about 10 police officers who came to question him over the hunger strike. Asked how he felt about the hunger strike, Tan said he was still in high spirits despite "sleeping rough". In a separate Facebook post, activist Khalid Mohd Ismath noted that police visited Tan during his hunger strike. "Solidarity to Tan who is currently on a hunger strike," he said.
