GMI organised a commemoration for Operasi Lallang-which took place in 1987 under Mahathir's regime. 106 opposition, NGOs and civil society figures were arrested without any reason given.  The exhibition at Prangin Mall, outside Start Buck started from 12.00noon and folded at 8.00pm, ahead of the scheduled end at 10.00pm, due to Gerakan's last minute's pull out from a public debate against state ruling party DAP.
