Ia adalah inisiatif NGO Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) yang merupakan sebahagian daripada penganjur himpunan petang tadi.
SAMM sebelum ini bercadang memanjangkan protes terhadap Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) selama dua hari lagi sehingga ke hari anggota parlimen mengangkat sumpah Isnin depan.
Pengarah Propaganda SAMM, Edy Nor Redzuan berkata mereka berusaha untuk menyediakan tandas kepada peserta perkhemahan tersebut.
Katanya, kemudahan tandas berdekatan tapak perkhemahan tersebut didapati dikunci kemas oleh Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL).
Di sekeliling tapak khemah juga sudah mula kelihatan bendera-bendera SAMM dipacak membentuk satu perimeter.
Pada masa sama, pengusaha gerai yang mula berniaga sejak awal pagi tadi di kawasan tempat letak kereta Padang Merbok masih meneruskan perniagaan mereka menjadikan tempat ini seperti tapak pesta.
Menurut Edy, rancangan asal untuk berkhemah sehingga ke hari parlimen mengangkat sumpah akan ditukar kepada berkhemah sehingga tujuh pimpinan tertinggi SPR meletak jawatan.
"Namun, kalau kita boleh bertahan sehingga esok tanpa gangguan pihak luar, itu sudah merupakan satu kejayaan besar," kata Edy.
Tambahnya, mereka mempunyai simpanan khemah tambahan sebagai ganti, sekiranya khemas sedia ada dirampas pihak berkuasa.-malaysiakini
Padang Merbok is now tent city...
After playing host to the Black 505 rally, Padang Merbok is now hosting about 40 camping tents erected by activist to protest against the Election Commission (EC).
The move was initiated by Solidarity Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM), which aims to camp in the area until the EC's seven members step down.
Critics of the EC said that their alleged poor conduct of the 13th general election had made their tenure untennable.
Furthermore, critics also claim that the current crop of EC members had lost credibility and they should not be allowed to re-draw the electoral boundaries, which must be done this year according to the Federal Constitutional.
On Monday, the activists plan to hold a protest in front of Parliament House, located a stone's throw away from Padang Merbok, to state the same message.
Toilets locked
The move coincides with the first session of the 13th Parliament.
However, they are concerned about whether the authorities and their opponents will allow them camp out that long.
"If we can stay here until tomorrow without interference, it would be a big achievement," said SAMM propaganda director Edy Nor Redzuan.
For now, they activists have some logistical problems at hand as the landowner, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), had locked up the toilet on the field.
"We'll have to figure something out," said Edy.
But for now, food is not a problem for the activists as many food stall operators who set up shop for the Black 505 rally have decided to stay put.
Among other, Batu MP Tian Chua will be staying the night as well.-malaysiakini
