Some 300 members of the youth wing of the Malaysian opposition party rallied in front of the Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur yesterday urging Thailand to repeal an emergency decree and restore peace in the deep South without alienating Muslim citizens. Just surrender peacefully! The protesters had marched on the embassy from a nearby mosque, carrying banners and posters that read: ``Stop the Massacre,'' ``Stop the War'' and slogans denouncing Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Associated Press reported. The Central Youth Council of the Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS) handed a three-page letter to the embassy after the 30-minute-long peaceful demonstration, Foreign Minister Kantathi Suphamongkhon said.
