Demonstrations in a new phase

Friday the 13th has brought in a new phase into the development of demonstrations. For the first time the police did not go after the 2,000 0dd demonstrators as they did during the Hindraf and Bersih rally last year.

Would this mark a new phase in policing matters in Malaysia? It is yet to be seen but I am putting the Hindraf's attempt to give flower's to the Agong in conjunction of the Father's Day as a litmus paper test for the police.

Would they pass or fail?

Update: Apparently the men in blue couldn't resist from arresting people after all as evidently reported here. The only difference this time around was they were released a couple of hours later.
