Deputy IGP: We don't simply arrest, but more EO detentions possible

Deputy IGP: We don't simply arrest, but more EO detentions possible

Police have not dismissed the possibility that more people will be arrested under the Emergency Ordinance (Public Order and Prevention of Crime) 1969 for subversive activities.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Abdul Khalid Abu Bakar also brushed aside claims by some groups that police were out to arrest anyone according to their whims.

"We have a law for this. We do not simply arrest - whatever action we take is based on the regulations and laws we have in Malaysia," he said.

Yesterday, police detained Sungai Siput Member of Parliament Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj and five members of the Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) under the Emergency Ordinance.

To date, 152 people have been arrested under Section 27(5) of the Police Act, he said.

Meanwhile, police have received 2,500 reports from various quarters including traders, individuals and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) throughout the country objecting to illegal street demonstrations planned for July 9.

Abdul Khalid asserted that police had sound reasons to disallow the illegal assemblies while being responsible to ensure security and wellbeing of the people.

"To outsiders who have made various comments against our action my advice is, don't meddle in the affairs of our country," he said.

Earlier he had attended the launch of "Reuniting Families-Child Safety" by Women, Family and Community Development Deputy Minister Senator Heng Seai Kie.

Also present were Federal police CID director Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin and RHB Bank Berhad chairman Tan Sri Azlan Zainol.
