DAP's publicity secretary Tony Pua has blasted what he claims was the Health Ministry's “irresponsibility” for allowing its inquiry into the alleged assault on the Tung Shin and Chinese maternity hospitals compound on July 9 to be taken over by the police.
Speaking to reporters after recording his statement at the Petaling Jaya district police headquarters over the incident, the Petaling Jaya Utara MP said the ministry's high-level committee inquiry into the events of the day had become a lame duck as officers from the federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman were now calling the shots instead.
Pua claims to have witnessed himself the police firing of tear gas and water cannon into the hospital compound during the Bersih 2.0 rally for clean and fair elections.

Pua cited investigating officer 'ASP Marzukhi' as having confirmed with him that Bukit Aman had already taken over the investigations into the Tung Shin hospital incident.
“The Health Ministry has the responsibility to take care the well being of the hospital… This shows the irresponsibility of the Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai. He should explain this,” Pua told reporters.
