So whose error was it which a reporters got injured? The Nut Graph compiles a little of a theories.

The journalist's fault

"It turned out which a Chinese male with a long hair is a journalist.

"In a incident, not even a single journalist who held a camera or video [camera] was strike or injured.

Lim Guan Eng's fault

"Before Lim (Guan Eng) came, a situation was peaceful, but after he came, it turned chaotic. We do not know what he pronounced about Umno to incite those men.

"We do not determine with a act, but you goal a military will investigate all a people concerned including Lim."

State Umno emissary chief Datuk Musa Sheikh Fadzir, observant military should investigate either a scuffle concerned irritation by Lim.

The organisers' fault

"The organisers only contacted us during a final minute, when a situation was becoming tense, so you sent a group.

"They should know which anything can occur during such a protest. Everyone wants leisure of speech. They wish to express themselves in open places. Anything can happen."

"We wish leisure of debate as well as leisure of assembly, are you prepared for it?"

State military chief officer Datuk Ayub Yaacob, who reportedly pronounced a anti-Lynas proof organisers were "arrogant" for not informing military about a event. He pronounced as a military were not informed, they had not sent a team to monitor a event.

Ayub pronounced in such situations, a organisers should be responsible for a reserve of participants during a rally. He pronounced i! f organi sers did not wish a military involved, then they must be prepared to face such situations.
