PKR leader surrenders laptop to Seremban cops

PKR supreme council member Badrul Hisham Shaharin has surrendered his laptop computer to the police.
Badrul, who is being investigated over a blog posting, handed over his lap top computer to investigating officer ASP Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman from the Seremban 2 district police headquarters here.

The PKR leader went to the police headquarters around 5.30pm yesterday, accompanied by his supporters, and Paroi state assemblyman Mohamad Taufek Abdul Ghani.

Earlier yesterday, a police team went to the PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya to look for Badrul's laptop computer but the raid was called off after it was discovered that there were defects in the search warrant.

Met by FMT as he was leaving the police headquarters, Badrul said the investigating officer had quizzed him for nearly an hour regarding the laptop computer.

Badrul added that he was also photographed holding the laptop computer.

"They told me that they would keep the laptop computer for forensic investigation and return it to me after a few days," he said.

The Rembau PKR chief expressed disappointment that despite giving the police his full cooperation, they were still “disturbing and pressuring” him over a simple case.

"I'm amused by the antics of the police... I have admitted that I was the author of that particular posting in my blog. I was gentleman enough to admit, so why the need for them to be unprofessional,” he said.

The blog posting, which is being investigated under the Sedition Act, is alleged to have insulted the royal institution.
Meanwhile, Mohamad Taufek claimed that the police are attempting to instill fear in Pakatan Rakyat leaders in order to stop them from writing the truth.

"I believe this is a fear tactic, but it would not be successful.

We would keeping fighting for justice and the truth,” he said.
