In what appeared to be an attempt to delay yesterday's crackdown on the Orang Asli's blockade in the interiors of Gua Musang, Kelantan, activists sang the national anthem Negaraku when they saw the authorities approaching.

In a two-minute video depicting the incident, the authorities are shown approaching the boom gate at the entrance to the blockade.

As they reached the boom gate, the Orang Asli began singing the national anthem Negaraku, and for a few moments, the authorities seemed to stop in honour of the national anthem.
